chemical constituents of water and
takes advantage of the explosive
capacity of these elements in recon-
bining to produce power
Burn water" Capt. Warren says,
only in the sense in which we burn
carbonic gas. Both are products of
combustion. The constituent ele-
isolated. The only problem is to sep
arate or isolate them after they have
once been combined. This nature is
constantly doing, and we have only to
accelerate or short circuit her pro.
cesses in order to restore Immediately
these combustible substances to their
elemental statel and have them ready
to reunite at our bidding in the phe-
nomenon of combustion. Burning, or
combustion, is simply the manifesto
ton of the action of chemical affinity.
We burn the elemental substances,
hydrogen and oxygen, by bringing
them together under conditions favor
able to the operation of the affinity,
which causes them to unite in a new
chemical compound, which, when con-
densed, is water. We separate these
elements by subiecting their COM
pound, water, TO conditions which
overcome or neutralize this affinity.
when we can burn hydrogen for
power, when the industrial world ava
kens to the fact that prodigious expen-
ditures for coal and liquid fuel are
entirely unnecessary, and that there is
right within our grasp an unlimited
supply of fuel substance available
practically without cost, for it is self
producing, there will be a revolution
in the industrial world When the
centuries-old theories of the indie
structibility of matter and the con-
servation of energy and matter have
once become really understood by
men, we will witness the utter collapse
and extinction of one of the oldest and
most gigantic of human industries, the
mining of coal.
THE secret of the production Of hy-
drogen for fuel lies in the successful
manipulation of that mysterious force
In nature called chemical affinity of
elements, in other words. the isolation
of the hydrogen under certain condi-
tons and its RECONCILIATION through
combustion with the oxygen through
which it was originally associated In
the form of water"

The Little Collar Button.

Little, but oh my!" So annoying
when it is not fiat enough and jabs
into the back of ones neck all day;
and even more objectionable-for a
woman can endure a good deal of
physical anguish--when it presses
against the outside linen of ones
hand-embroidered collar and leaves an
indentation that rubs itself gray
against ones coat lining.
Just obviate the whole difficulty by
sewing to every shirtwaist collar band
at the center back a small fiat linen
covered button that is of English man
ufacture. It is the --LATEST button on
the market, and has metal middle
through which to sew instead of q
shank.

Shoes and Hose.

Low shoes with handsome buckles
and fine transparent silk stockings
are worn with all of the smart short
day gowns, even when cold weather
really makes them seem unreasonable
But in this case flesh colored stockings
in fine wool or closely woven thin cot
ton are worn under the silk hose, Civ
ing the effect of transparency, and
yet plenty of warmth. Just as flesh
co1ored, tight fitting silk jerseys are
worn under the white or black tulle
guimpe and long sleeves, which almost
invariably accompany the afternoon
dress-Vogue.

Cream Pie,

Beat two eggs well, add one cup of
sugar and one tablespoonful of melted
butter, and beat again. Add half a
cup of milk, mix two tablespoonfuls of
baking powder with one and a half
cups of -four, and stir it into the egg
mixture. Flavor with one teaspoonful
of lemon extract Beat it well and
bake in a round, shallow pan. When
cool split it with a long, sharp knife,
and fill it with cream that is made
while the cake is baking. Boil one
cup of milk, wet one tablespoonful of
cornstarch in a little cold milk, stir
it into the boiling milk, and cook over
hot water ten minutes, stirring often.
Beat one egg light, add two table
spoonfuls sugar and pinch of salt,
and stir into the thickened milk. Cook
one minute, stir in one teaspoonful of
butter and one of vanilla, and set
away to cool.

SHOULDER SEAM LEFT OUT.
Paris Model Has the Sleeve Cut in
One with the Shoulder.

A new cut of bodice shows no shout
der seam. The sleeve that tightly
molds the arms is cut in one with the
shoulder. The fitting is achieved by
tie under part. The one-piece effect
wonderfully shapes the shoulder. ]
noted this new sleeve in gown worn
by one of a group Of women. OF deer
puce colored velvet the princess tunie
| trailed beautifully limp in its slender
pointed tail. Instead of buttoning in
| the ordinary fashion at the back of the
arm, the sleeve closed on the inside
seam under a line of silk loops and
| oval olives. A tiny guimpe of tinted
tulle laid over gold net filed the small
round at the neck. Rich gold and sill
yer embroidery, mingled with pale
| colored silk embroidery in relief
| adorned the whole front of the cor
sage. Extremely chic was a third
costume. Short and close, the skirt
was hemmed with band of skunk
| fur.
The corsage, plainly cut to show nc
seams, and loosely fitted, was held al
| the normal waist line by narrow
leather belt, the buckle covered with
leather. Epaulettes of coarse, leath
err covered lace, framed a square
guinpe of tucked ecru null that
mounted into high-eurved choker
From the edge of the square mar
row tablier fell to the belt Buttoned
on each with large cord loops it cum
ningly concealed the closing. With
the advent of the one-piece gown
for afternoon street wear, the uncom
Portable and untidy back closing is
disappearing. On nearly all such
gowns the closing is marked by line
! of buttons set straight or in fanciful
fashion.-From a Paris Letter to

The Mastehaaket Habit.

A good sized wastebasket should be
continually close to every sewing ma
chine Then it is easy to form the
habit of dropping all scraps, clippings,
and the ends of thread into it just as
the scissors make them, instead of
leaving them to blow here and there
and litter up the floor until sweeping
day. Twice handling anything is a
waste of time and energy and we
Americans have neither to spare.
Form the wastebasket habit at once!-

This country is now rich in its his
tOrical literature, but Of the recent
output most has come from west of
the Hudson and north of the Potomac
and Ohio. We can now study with
minutest detail almost every phase
and period of u history, with the
sole exception of the south, which is
late in coming to the front with its
W records. The southern people
have been content to make history
rather than record it, and for this rea-
son materials are meager. But there
are in the south writers who are now
taking high rank and of whom much
o may be expected. We are be-
ginning for the first time to get some
studies of the reconstruction period,
for instance, out of which an opinion
may be formed instead of being taken
