" few weeks come to
menace some point
on our planet, ruin
ing cities and spreading desOlati0n
over extensive districts, our uneasy
minds interrogate science and demand
of it the solution of a problem that has
been mooted for many centuries. Let

mediately powers and states in burst
of spontaneous, instructive brotherhood
feel, as it were, the necessity for CON-

will give place to anxiety over the

threatened by the instability of that
element which We dignity with the
pretentious name of terra firma!
Since December % geologists and
astronomers have submitted to many
an interview. The explanations given
by the former have often seemed in
sufficient, while the latter have gen.
orally avoided the subject. 1t may
seem presumption on the part of an
astronomer to go to work in territory
reserved for geologists, but to what
science should we have recourse for
the story of the earth's past. Has not
the astronomer always bsfore his eyes
thousands OF suns at all periods of
their life? Does he not know that
after having shone for second on the
clock Of time our sun itself will be-
come extinct and will roll on through
space like the dead suns of the Milky
Way? Better than geology, then, as
tronomy is the science which projects
the light Of present times upon the
mysteries of the past.
Millions of years ago our humble
little earth shone with it's own light,
blazing star; it also warmed it's
satellite, just as the sun to-day dis
renses to us it's light and it's heat;
but in its dizzy course around the sun,
in its intersidereal voyage among the
consultations of heaven, like the sun,
it never repasses the same place, and
it's original heat has quickly been dis
sipated by contact with the cold of
space, which modern science estimates
at 273 degrees Centrigrade below zero

How Lapp Collects Reindeer.

In April, the Lapp let's his reindeer
loose to wander as they please, and
when the mosquitoes begin to abound
(about midsummer) collects his herd
simply by catching one deer, fitting it
with a bell and trusting to instinct
(Which leads the animals to gather
into herds for protection against the
mosquitoes) to do the rest. In cool
summer, when mosquitoes are few,
this instinct does not come into play,
and it is almost impossible to bring
the reindeer together. --:.e .....

Ask an astronomer to show you the

Cataclysms will transform our earth,

Applying the abbe's reasoning, it is

An Absolute Essential for the Making
Of Good Tea or Coffee.

There is more to the art of cooking
than can be covered in any number
of bare recipes. There are many little
ways of doing things practiced by the
best cooks which are not to be found
in the ordinary cookbook.
One of these apparently trif1ing
matters is the care of the tea kettle.
Empty it and wash it out at least
once day-oftener if it be a small
one.
If you wish good tea or coffee the
secret is to make it with freshly
boiled water. 1t is a great mistake to
use water that has bubbled in the ket-
tie from early morning till the after
noon, with a pitcherful added to it
now and again to keep up the supply.
Water that has been boiled and re-
boiled for an indefinite time is un-
wholesome and frequent cause of in
digestion.

An Autumn Leaf Party.

An exceedingly novel party has Just
been brought to my notice and will
soon be in season now. In the coun-
try, where leaves remain much longer
on the trees than in the city, hostess
noted for her original ideas, conceived
the idea of turning the clearing of her
large lawn of the autumn leaves into
a frolic.
Over the telephone invitations went
out to six congenial couples, all good
friends, to come the following Satur-
day attired in warm clothes with
heavy gloves. Partners were chosen
by rakes tied with ribbons, two of
each color. Then work began After
asked that specimen of each variety
of leaf be brought into the house.
Then there vas an impromptu contest
to see who could name the most yarie-
ties. A picnic luncheon was served
and great bontires of the leaves were
built after dark
Afterwards all gathered round the
fireplace, told stories, roasted apples
' and chestnuts and begged to be in
cluded in next years leaf party"
Next year is now this year, and
know several people who are planning
to have just such jolly parties when
the fall weather lays low the brilliant
red and yellow leaves. The hostess
had made dainty autumn leaf place
cards, done IN wood brown with gold
lettering. b. the way, this same host
ess told me she was growing cunning
little Norway pine trees in six-inch
pots for Christmas gifts. Capital idea,
don't you think?

Early Morning Bird Party.

A hostess in nearby suburb gave
this party, wiliut was novel and huge
ly enjoyed by those who participated.
The hour was half-after five in the
morning. and the invitations contained
time table with the train marked
that those who accepted must take.
At the station they were met by a
bus and conveyed to the house where
coffee and rolls were served on the
porch. Then an hour was spent in
the woods adjacent to the grounds
where the birds congregate for their
early mathis.
The hostess had a book describing
birds, their habits and their notes,
which was used as reference A prize
was awarded to the person who know
the names of the most birds, one to
the person who discovered the great
est variety and one to the guest who
counted the most nests. An hour was
spent in this way and then all return
ed to the house, where a perfectly de-
licious breakfast was served, begin
ming with fruit and ending with waf-
fles and maple syrup.

Some Features That Are Distinctly

An Apron Shower.

Quite the jolliest and most practical
shower that has come to my notice
lately is an apron shower" friend
of the bride-elect planned 1t all for
an afternoon affair; each guest was
invited to bring an apron, large or
small, fancy or plain, so the result
was that there were "a fine speci-
mems. The hostess first tied one on
the honored guest just before the
chafing dishes were brought in; then
one by one each guest tied or pinned
on her offering until the bewildered
little bridc-to-be was literally en-
veloped from head to foot in aprons.
They made fudge, then cocoa and
waters were passed.

To Find Partners.

At a card party the hostess passed
English walnuts which proved to be
candy boxes containing the tiniest of
bonbons in many colors. There were
two of each color and partners were
found by matching the candies in
their nuts and then they had them to
eat afterward. There were Just seven
tables and all the rainbow tints were
represented, the chairs at the tables
were tied with huge bow of tulle of
one of the seven colors. The effect
was very pretty and added TO the gay
ETY.. for every one loves color when
used to good advantage.

Folds and fischus over the should
ders are quite a feature of evening
gowns.
Except for an occasional scant
flounce, all trimming is put on in
lengthwise form.
Figured as well as striped henriet-
tas are seen in the shops in all the
newest colorings.
Shirring over cords and in tiny
puffs will be seen more and more as
the season advances.
The scarf which matches the gown
is becoming one of the familiar fea'
lures for the light wrap.
The winter promises to be a season
of extra long, narrow coats over plain,
striped or checked gowns.
A gay Beau Brummel frill at the
throat transforms the tailored suit
into something dainty and feminine.
Black embroidery upon brown is
smart when the brown is not too dark
to afford a contrast with the black.
Hats of dark material, lined with
something lighter in color, are among
the dressy types of midsummer wear.
The coarser weaves of tussore,
which have the preference just now,
look at a distance like piece of rough
canvas.
Sleeveless coats with color con.
trasting with the gown under them
are in growing favor as the season
advances.
Among the popular fabrics are the
new two-tone changeable satins, the
face being of one color and the back
of another.
One of the oddities of the season is
the introduction of the metallic and
spangle effects among the cottons and
linens.
Glace kid gloves are imperative for

A MILLION IN LIVE STOCK.

1t is estimated that the live stock
to be exhibited at the Denver show,
January 18th to 23rd, will represent
a value of over a million dollars.
There will be many single animals
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 each, if
indeed they could be purchased, while
there will be hundreds worth over
$500 each. These cattle, horses and
sheep will represent the ideals of
their different breeds and visit to
the big show will be an education to
the farmer or stockman who desires
to know what is the highest type
produced in the various classes Of
animals. AS business proposition,
no farmer or stockman can afford to
stay away.

PUNCHBOWL AS A RESERVOIR.
HONOLULU. Hawaii, Dec. THE
Territorial legislature which meets in
February next, will be asked for an
appropriation for the purpose Of
turning the famous Punchbowl crater
into water storage reservoir for the
city Of Honolulu. Careful surveys
have just been completed and esti-

1.-THE Punchbowl, is a famous land
mark, and around its base on three
sides is clustered the city. No person
has ever visited Honolulu without re-
marking the great hill which forms
the picturesque background. to the
city, and almost everyone has either
driven to the top or climbed the zig
gag path up the front for the mag
nificent view thus to be obtained.
The old crater is nearly 500 feet in
elevation, almost circular in shape,
and its rim encloses BOWL some
five or six acres in extent, forty or
fifty feet deep. The big natural
basin will be cement lined, and the
city's supply pumped into it from
the artesian well system. The power
for the pumping will be electricity
generated from big reservoir nearly
completed some six miles from the
city.-Ghost Of Fennimore Cooper.
