to be a Knight is to love they God

to love thy lady and ever keep her in

But to be True Knight is to re-

called a fallacy. The explanation is
that more people are moving about

the malady localized. 1t is liable to
occur in the arctic or in the equa-

WIRELESS TELEPHONE IS OLD
Instrument Was Devised and Operated
by inventor Bell Thirty-One
Years Ago.

In 1879. long before the day of the
Hertzian wave and modern wireless
telegraphy, Alexander Graham Bell de-
vised n operated a wireless tele-
phone" Starting with Clerk Max
wells electromagnetic theory of light,
he undertook to impress phonetic dis
turbances upon the light wave and
reproduce them in a telephone re-
ceiver by means of a bit of selenfum,
which has the remarkable property of
changing its resistance to an electric
current when under the influence of
light, says Popular Electricity. A cell
made of two narrow strips of annealed
selenium attached to a block of brass
alters its resistance from 300 to $50
ohms when brought from darkness
into the sunlight.
A beam of bright light was directed
upon the surface of a silvered mica
diaphragm which reflected 1t to a
parobolic mirror at the receiving sta
ton. Here the light was again re-
flected by the inner surface of the
mirror so that it converged through
a lens upon a small selenium cell at
the focus of the mirror, and in series
with a battery and the telephone re-
ceiver.

NEW SKIRTS MUST BE SHORT
Trains Are Almost Obsolete, but Will
Be Worn by Some Who Refuse to
Give Them Up.

The new skirts are short, ever in af-
ternoon and evening gowns of the
most formal character. Trains are
almost obsolete, but they will always
be worn to a certain extent, for some
women refuse to give them up.
Where they are used at all they are
short and narrow. The prettiest
length skirt comes just to the instep.
Few women can wear anything short
er successfully. All the skirts are
narrow and short, but no one single
type prevails. For tailored suits the
skirts are either gored or circular or
partially plated. In more preten-
tious suits of velvet, cashmere, pru-
nellie cloths, ETC., the skirt drawn into
a band at the bottom is very popu-
lar, but one still sees tunics of all
kinds over plain or plated under
skirts. In reception gowns and eve
ming dresses one material is usually
yelled with another, and the skirts are
of infinite variety of cut.-The De
~tineator.

Care of Bead Frinqes.

Gowns adorned with the new bead
fringes will need more than ordinary
care or the beauty OF these g~arnicures
will soon be marred by spaces occu-
pied only by f~iuttering threads. So
great is the propensity of these
fringes for catching on anything and
everything in their vicinity that in
the shops they are often kept sewed
in strips of c~heesecloth. This is a
wise precaution TO take unless the
gowns are kept entirely covered when
not in use. There is never greater
danger of disaster than when two
or more fringed gowns are hung to-
gether without any protective cover
ings, for the neighboring fringes are
sure to try to prove the natural per
versity of inanimate objects by be-
coming inextricably tangled up with
each other.

HARVESTING FOR WIND POWER
English Scientist Lost Energy Blow
ing Over London Equal to Half
Million Horsepower.

An English scientist estimates that
if the wind blowing over London to a
height of 500 feet could be h~arnessed
it would do work equivalent to that of
a steam engine of half a million
horsepower, working day and night.
Wind turbines can be used for many
purposes, are simple to erect, and do
not usually require towers more than
80 feet high. In Germany a wind
power electric generating equipment
has been brought out. No attention
Is needed except to reduce the sail
arena of the wind wheel in storms.
A storage battery holds the excess
current from the dynamo until need
ed, and a special regulator automatic
ally keeps at constant pressure the
current supplied for house lighting or
driving small farm or other machines.

AT first the apparatus was called a

found that when a black solution of

in the path of the beam of light the in

the solution is quite Opaque to all

OF course with the old arrangement

because the wave length used was too
short to penetrate many obstacles and

viduality in the presence of inter

MAKING INDIAN PLAY SUITS
Little Boys and Girls Can Rig Them

self into a little Indian may easily
make an Indian play suit. For a head
iress cut a deep fringe from newspa-
oers. Pin ii around the head and pin
A long piece of the fringe to fall down
he back to look like feathers. Cut
more fringe and pin down the sides
of the pants and another piece of
fringe, not very long. to pin around
the ankles over the tops of low shoes
to look like moccasins.
The little girl who wants to be a
squaw may make her suit in this way:
First, make the skirt. Paste two large
newspaper sheets together so that
the short side of one newspaper laps
over to the short side Of the other
sheet Of paper. Fold this long piece
of paper just formed so hat the long
top edge reaches nearly down to the
long lower edge. Cut the lower edge
so that it is formed into fringe. The
skirt is then finished. Slip a piece o.
tape inside the skirt where the paper
is folded, and tie it at the back to
keep the skirt In place. The Indian
sack is made In this way. Place a
double sheet of newspaper in front Of
you so that the long double edge Of
the paper is at the top. Fold the
short edge of the paper on one side
over onto the other short edge. From
the upper left hand corner of this
folded paper cut out a double square
of paper which is about four inches
each way. All of the edges except
the top edge and the folded edge of
the paper should be slashed to form
fringe. Open out your paper and put
it on as a sack by putting your head
through the square hole in the top of
the paper. The fringe will be down
the sides of the sack and on the
bottom of the little coat.
