of the rocks of the earth's crust were
begun under the auspices of the institu-
ton in 1904. when grants were made for
special researches carried on in the geo.

Upton street was built in 1905 and 1907.

THE IDEAL IN BABY BASKET.
OF Wicker, Lined with MercerIxed
Saline and Covered with
Paris Muslin.

A fascinating baby basket just made
IoT a young mother was OF wicker,
shallow and oblong. 1t was lined with
mercerized satine, pink, of high luster,
and covered with Paris muslin, which
fs as dainty looking as organdie and
much more durable.
The pink lining was put in plain. but
the muslin was gathered slightly at
top and bottom of the sides, the bot
tom being plain. Double strips OF
inch-wide vaIenciennes insertion were
arranged across the bottom to form q
diamond
Along each side were pockets of the
muslin gathered at the top on an
elastic and edged with narrow lace
The fronts of the pockets as well as oi
the long pin cushion across one end
and the equally long, stiffened cove,
with leaves of flannel underneath to
hold safety pins at the other end were
also stripped with insertion in dia
mond effect.
Where each pocket and cushion
Joined the basket the sewing was con
cealed under fluffy rosettes of pinh
baby ribbon.
The ruifle that fell over the sides
was made of straight strips of the
Paris muslin, with an inch-wide hem
at the bottom. and above it eighth OF
an inch tucks half inch apart, with
baby ribbon sewed between each tuck
The ribbon was put on plain. though II
would have been equally pretty il a
width wider ribbon was used and
gathered at the upper edge

Hand SIGNALS Used by Flremen.

A code of hand signals, which ap-
pears to be something similar to the
"tic-tac" operations of the race course
tout. has been adopted by the Edin-
burgh fire brigade. 1t is supposed to
be the only brigade in possession of
such system. The uses are apparent
when fireman finds himself isolated
in the upper part of. say, a tall tene-
ment Leaning out of the window. he
could signal to his colleagues in the
street that the fire escape was re-
quired. or that another line of hose
should be brought into use. Then,
again, fireman posted on the roof
could signal below that another
steamer should be telephoned for, or.
perhaps, a second hose-tender, under
circumstances when the loudest shout
would b~ without avail.
