RAILS CREEP AS EARTH MOVES
Dragging Movement of Revolving Globe
Also Affects Wheels.

ST~SStH9 WONoIHSUL OF nCNOiNiUS SIOoo
Also Affects Wheels.
1t is not generally know that rail-
road rails creep. They do. and on
lines running north and south the
western rail- "creeps" faster than the
eastern rail; that is, this strange
movement Of the rail toward the south
is more marked in one rail than in the
other on the same track. Furthermore
It has been noticed that on such a line
the eastern rail wears out the faster.
Both Of these points can be explain
ed by the motion OF the earth as It
turns from the west toward the east.
Everything that has free motion is
dragged after the whirling globe.
Every wind that blows and every tide
that moves feels the influence, and a
train going north or south is pulled
over toward the east and naturally
presses the eastern rail most heavily.
The western rail, being relieved of its
share Of weight, "creeps" more freely
and quickly.
1t is also noticed that the wheels
that run on the eastern rail wear out
first, and one cannot but think that
this earth motion is the true cause.

fluffy, nodding plumes of the ostrich,
and II this great bird could not be

Although good ostrich plumes are
as costly as ever, they are in wider

lnery. Everyone wants plumes, and
other ostrich feathers, in all the va

or color combinations and plumes of
long sweeping fibers. They are very
beautiful but not as practical as the
unpieced plumes. In buying high
priced ostrich feathers the French
piumes with long. slightly curled fiues
are by far the best investment. They

that they will stand wear. Moisture
doesn't do them any permanent harm
On the other hand the willow plume
cannot be guaranteed to wear. Those
In black are especially fragile, some
thing in the dye causes them to come
united or to break off when the air
is damp. The white and light colors
wear better than black.
When one does not need to think OF
economy there are beautiful effects to
be wrought out by using plumeB with
pieced flues, which are well worth
the price.
Three fall hats are illustrated here
showing the simplicity and richness
OF ostrich used for trimming. They
are mounted in groups of three or
more toward the back Of the hat as a
rule. Nothing else Is needed on the

PRETTY FANCY OF FASHION
Jeweled laces Are MarveIously Beau.
tlfuI, Though Only for Those
With Long Purses.

The very newest thing In jewelry Is
the reproduction OF old and priceless
laces in tiny pearls and diamonds
mounted upon gunmetal, platinum or
diamond net The exact pattern OF
the lace is copied. and the whole is
formed into jabot or a lace fall for
the collar. Sometimes there is a bow
above, composed of some colored
stones-emeralds or amethysts or ru-
bies-set in solid.
This new and wonderful work has
revolutionized the art of the 1eweler.
since the workmanship has become
quite as valuable as the stones them
selves. These laces of Jewels are. of
course, ruinously expensive, but they
are such marvels of beauty that a wo-
man might well dispense with all 9TH
er ornament for the sake of possessing
one Of them.
