Every girl needs as many as she can
get. She wants them in sets of col

of her various costumes, and she wants
them in different sizes for different
uses.
AS far as the fashions go. she can
not have too many. Therefore. the
manufacturers are bringing them out

Rose Color for Children.

One of the new quaint tones in pink.
which Is almost rose colored, is a ia
vorite for childrens clothes. Goats
and hats are made of it for street
wear. and little slips for older girls
are built OF IL in silk. cashmere. chif-
fon. messaline and other new fabrics.
The coats of old rose are made of
supple broadcloth, cut quite severely
with large pockets and long sleeves
edged with fur.
There is also a turnover collar of
this fur. which may be ermine, beaver,
dyed squirrel or chinchilla.
With such coat goes a broad
brimmed sailor or soft rose beaver,
trimmed with band of the fur around
the crown. with head of the animal

Wave Motor in Lighthouse.

is. they all made use OF plungers.
which. by rising and falling with the
waves would impart their power to a
wheel, but no practicable machine was
ever built, and people came to the con
clusion that the problem was impos
sible of solution But engineers who
have tested the wave motors invented
by William Snee of Pittsburg. Pa,
state that these motors will do the
work for which they are intended.
The motor. or rather the revolving
portion of the motor, resembles in con-
struction and is in effect turbine. 1t
is the only turbine wheel ever invent
ed for generating power from wave
and tide motion. The motor revolyes
within stationary shield. which is
equipped with reflectors and guide
blades set at such an angle as to har-
monize all outside conflicting forces of
the water, so that no matter from
what direction the water is jetted into
the interior the motor always turns in
one direction.
Models of various sizes have been
made and the experiments have proved
elton motors have been installed at
the end of Young's pier at Atlantic
City, and the power obtained will be
utilized to make the pier and beach
one great blaze of light
The wave motor seems to be an
amphibious machine, for 1t works as
well on the land as it does in the wa
ter. This feature was tested recently
at Pittsburg and the motor proved it
self to be 20 per cent. more sensitive
to the currents of the air than;9tl1e
thermometer, the same principle that
harmonizes the conflicting forces of
water within the outside wheel har-
monizing likewise conflicting forces of
wind. Furthermore, in contrast with
the fan tail windmill. there need be no
fear OF destruction or injury, no mat
ter how great the velocity of the wind.
This discovery naturally suggested
the idea of using both the wind and
wave motors in government light
houses. the matter was brought to the
attention of the government officials
and an investigation is being made.

THE STATE LABORATORY
STATE Board OF Health Will Conduct
One I'm Columbia, Which Will Begin
Next Month.

Columbia, June 27.-The State lab
oratory, under the direction of DR.. r.
A. Coward, who has been elected by
the State board Of health, will open at
science hall at the University of South
Carolina on July /. The formal an
nouncements are being sent out to
every physician in the State by DR.. c.
F, Williams, the secretary of the State
board of health and State health Of
ficer.
Some months ago the State board
OF health decided to establish this lab
oratory, which will be used for an ex-
animation for germs for contagious
and infectious diseases and also for
the examination Of animals supposed
to be infected with the rabies. There
will be no charge for an examination
although the board can not arrange
for quarters for any patients sent
here. DR.. Coward has recently re-
turned from Baltimore and other ci-
ties, where the recognized Pasteur
treatment is given, and as a result the
State board will have a thoroughly
equipped laboratory and one of the
best in the country
DR.. Williams writes to the physi-
clans as follows:
"The State board Of health an
nounces with genuine pleasure that it's
laboratory will be ready for work
July 1. The work Of this laboratory
is intended for the benefit of citizens
of the State, and will be open to them
through the medical profession.
1.-The scope Of work to be carried on
will be confined, for the present at
least, to meteorological examinations
looking to the prevention of contag-
ious and infectious diseases, and to
the administration of the Pasteur

AROUSED AGAINST ENGLISH.
Liberians Complain of Various Sc
riOus AggressiOns.

Las Palmas. Canary Islands, June
22.-The American scout cruisers
Chester, Birmingham and Salem,
which left here today with the MEM
bers of the commission that investi-
gated conditions in Liberia on board,
are expected to arrive in New York
on July 4. The members of the COM
mission are r. P. Falkner. e. j. Scott
and George Sale. 1t is possible that
the commissions reports will say
something with regard to foreign ag-
gression in the negro republic.
The commissioners spent three
weeks in Monrovia, considering the
internal affairs Of the country, and
the impression was gained from
statements which they made here
that they had not found any COM
plications which could not be unrav-
eled with the help and moral sup
port Of the nations having CONNER
cial interests in Liberia, or whose
colonies adjoin that republic.
After the conclusion of the work
In Monrovia, the Chester, with the
chairman and secretary Of the COM
mission, and Capt. s. A. Colman. the
military attache at London. proceed
ed to Sierra Leone. to confer with
the British officials with regard to
the boundary disputes and other
questions at issue between Sierra
L< enc and Liberia, which are the
most serious problems facing the lat
ter country.
The natives along the boundary
complain that the Government OF
Sierra Leone has practically taken
possession Of $50 square miles of
ss,s'assst~~ valuable. most thickly
populated and most productive terri
tory on the northwest frontier; that
1t has expelled the Liberian officials
from the territory just south Of the
connecting loops Of the Sierra Leone
Railway, the center CT important
trade routes. The extension Of the
British railway into this strip would
divert the trade to Sierra Leone from
the Hinterland, without the payment
of duties to Liberia.
While the Chester was north, the
Birmingham, with the other Ameri-
cans. went south to visit the Krue
,oast and the French boundary. With
regard to this boundary there does
not seem to be any serious questions,
as Liberia has granted a concession
to alternate sections Of land along
the frontier to Americans. The gov
eminent. however, seriously COM
plains of Interference on the part of
the British in an attempt to estab-
,ish full authority over the natives of
the Krue coast. This interference re-
Gently took the form of refusing to-
allow Liberia to lombard the viii
lagos OF rebellious natives.
These conditions together with
complications which have arisen In
connection with Englishmen who arc
employed in the military department
of Liberia. have aroused intense en-
nifty against everything English.
When the commission arrived at
Monrovia they were welcomed as the
saviors of the country. and 1t became
necessary to point out that they had
come only in an advisory capacity.
and depended upon the Liberians to
rehabilitate their country.
