THE SETTING SUN.
When Vulcan Sailed 1t Round tn
OCEAN So Il Could Rise Again.

When Vulcan Sailed 1t Round thu
Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought to explain the
rising and setting of the sun. They
thought the earth to be fat and were
greatly puzzled to know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
a fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
" great distance in the east. A num-
Der Of remarkable theories were ad-
vanced. and every one of them was
wrong.
Mythologists Of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped in the west
ern ocean at sunset the Iberians and
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the Kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein) he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in golden goblet.
This strange craft, with its astonishing
cargo. navigated the ocean by north
erly course SO as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the follow
ing morning.
Among the more sober physicists OF
old, as related by Aristotle, it was be-
neved that in some manner the sun
was conveyed by night across the
northern regions and that darkness
was due to mountains which screened
of the sunbeams during the voyage.

An<icipation.

Lieutenant ShackletoN tells how
when In the antarctic wastes he and
his companions sustained their spirits
and their bodies as well when sup
plies had to be cut down to mini
mum by dwelling upon the glorious
eating they would have on returning
to headquarters. The value OF such
mental sustenance has long been rec
ognized by up to date commanders.
There was the German officer in the
war Of 1870 who sustained the dag
cling spirits and weary legs OF his men
by shouting: There Is q brewery In
side that town! Let us get there be-
fore anybody else" History relates
that the men did get there with re
markable speed. Equally shrewd was
that japanese commander in the Man
churian war who. seeing his men ex-
hausted with thirst and knowing full
well the wonderful properties OF picked
plums, cried out. Two miles from here
there h . forest of paums." The an
ticipated plums went far to relieve
their parched mouths.

Chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums stand fourth in
commercial Importance among flowers.
Only the rose, the violet and the car
nation surpass them, and that chiefly
because the chrysanthemum season is
SO short. while the others can be had
from the florist nearly the whole year
round. Greece gave US the name.
Chrysanthemum means golden fow-
err" But the name was invented long
before the big butter yellow globes
were known In the occident. 1t re-
ferred to the prevailing gold In the
small varieties that were known.
Strangely enough, the first chrysan-
themum brought into Europe was not
gold. but purple. It was small now-
er about two inches across. shaped
like an aster. Somebody took 1t to
Europe from China In 1790-and, pres
to, the modern history Of chrysanthe-
NUNS was begun.-Argonaut.

Paris, June 6.-The fickleness and
and changeability OF Fashion is well
shown by the suddenness and celebrity
with which the .Chanticler'' craze in
dress has been abandoned In Paris.
where it had its origin It is thorough
ly characteristic Of the worldly fashion
center, however. But a few weeks
ago in full swing. now scarce a trace
of Chanticler fashions are to be found
except in such quarters as are not
to be regarded as opponents OF fashion.
Speedy, after its launching in Paris,
followed in haste by it's adoption in
the United States. England. and else
where on the continent than in France,
hats, gowns, material of many descrip-
tions-in fact. anything, everything
that would permit of ''Chanticler" de-
signs land many that did mott were
scattered suggestions of the fact OF
the feathered tribe of the barnyard,
or rather, hen roost.
To be strictly accurate, in Paris,
even at the outset. the craze was
chiefly confined to toys, umbrella and
parasol, handles, with here and there a
veil having the emblem of rooster
woven into it. while some gowns car
ried out the suggestion in one way or
another. AS was expected the wave
Of "Chanticlerismr' was shortlived
here. Today even Chanticler parasols
handles. which promised to remain in
vogue longer than other articles Illus
trative of the craze are being replaced
by odd and well executed wooden,
copies of designs which first appeared
at the exhibition of the .Humorites'
or caricaturists Salon, recently
On the other hand weeping willow
feathers have now the vogue being the
outgrowth of the memorable and dis.
astrous race meeting at Aurteil, where
fashion gathered in large numbers five
years ago, when the avenues leading
from the race course through the Bots
de Boulogne to the Place d'Etoile were
ankle deep in tulle boas. hats and
wraps which had been thrown away
by the wearer in sheer despair and dis
comfort following a most unexpected
torrential rainfall, absolutely drench
ing thousands of smartly dressed wo
men to the skin, and no shelter being
Immediately available, caused the de
struction of tens of thousands of dol
lars worth of toilettes, the bedraggleG
wearers throwing away everything
which they realized had been irretriev
ably ruined.
Hence the return from Auteil,
which is the latest fad in fashions fol
feathers, however worn. 1t is known
as the 'spleureuse" or weeping will
low" feather, and with the strange va
gary of Fashion has suddenly become
immensely popular as trimming fol
hats in particular.
