THE SPEED OF NO RETURN.
Velocity Body Must Have to Leave
Earth and Never Come Back.


There are a great many odd terms In
science none of which has title SO
weird as the speed of no return. This
means the velocity a body must have
in leaving the earth in order for it
never to come back. 1t has been accu-
rately worked out and IS found to be
about seven miles a second. Now,
though this speed has never been OBJ
tanned by artificial means on the earth.
still 1t is interesting to note the theory
as regards the further actions of the
body. 1t would continue outward IN a
curved line until it was controlled by
balancing forces, mainly the earth,
moon and sun, in such way as to-
make it have an orbit of its own. So
1t would go on revolving forever just
as any other planet
Although this speed has never been
obtained by artificial means, 1t Is
found in nature on the earth, and it's
application has great deal to do with
animal life on our planet AS is well
known. it is pet theory of the scien-
fists that the earth is losing It's atmos-
phere, just as the moon has already
lost hers, on account of the wonderful
vibrational speed of the molecules of a
gas. Hydrogen gas is known to have .
molecular velocity of over the neces
sary amount, and it is startling
proof of the theory that no free hydro
gen is found in our atmosphere. The
theory is that this gas on being set
free rises on account of its lightness
and when it gets to the outside edge
of our ocean of air is left behind on
one of its jumps, the earth going for
ward at a great rate itself, something
like eight miles second.
AS the earth gradually lost its at
mosphere 1t would become colder ard
colder on account of its inability to-
hold the heat received from the sun.
and all animal and vegetable life
would cease. This has already hap
pened to the moon, its temperature
never rising above zero, though the
sun shines on it for two weeks at a
time
1t is needless to say that even If this
speed could be obtained by Il cannon
bah or other comparatively small BODY
the friction with the air on its way
would Immediately burn it up. just as
the shooting stars we see are burned
up before reaching the earth. SO if
the visiting of the moon ever takes
place it will have to be accomplished
in carriage. with very thick sides
and made of material whose melting
point is very high.-New York Tribune

 And then Smiley says. That's al right-that's allr ght-if youn hold my box a minute I'll go and get you a frog. And so the feller took the box. and put up his forty dollars along with Smileys. and set down 70 wait

FROCKS ARE SHORT
SEASONS SKIRTS NOW sENsIeLY
ABBREVIATED.
Dresses for Debutante Are More Beau
tifuI Than EVer-Combinatio
with Silver Are Perhaps the
Most Popular.

Rumor has it that in Paris the fash
i0nable dance frock, which has
proved even more acceptable and con-
Yenient than was anticipated, will
grow shorter as the season advances.
While this rage for the sensibly alb
breviated skirt has not extended to
the reception gown nor the at-home
frock, it has penetrated in among such
stuffs as rose petals and rainbows are
made of. No material, no matter how
diaphanous, need be reserved for the
long reception gown; short frocks de-
mand all the elegance of the season.
The debutante's dresses are more
beautiful than ever Silver has
touched her white frock and rested
there so persistently that the combi.
nation has almost become a uniform
The typical debutante of the season is
in many of her gowns veritable ice
maiden from the Andersen fairy tale
White satin, pure and simple, has
declined in favor; it is now draped
with the inevitable silver gauze and
again the same moonlight effect is
produced by silver tulle over creme
meteore.
On another elaboration in frosty
cOloring (if coloring it may be called)
there are white satin ribbon rosebuds
with silver centers on bodice and tu-
mic. The sleeves are composed of
cords of silver strung with little rib
bon roses and like cords depending
from the girdle are heavily tasseled
with the roses.
On the white mousseline or ninOn
of the debutante there appears at
times an edge of swans down or white
fur in place of the dark fur band on
the heavy moire of the older woman
Countless white and silver effects
are to be gained, such as the rides
cent dewdrOp pressed into the chiffon
fabric. Tiny sequins of silver run
along the satin hem which borders
the tunic, and again satin cuirass
glittering with liver and then yelled
with white mousseline to bring again
the youthful simplicity-to conceal an
excess of riches.
Although elaborate to a degree,
these gowns were short and they re-
tanned the crushed girdle of the pro-
verbal youthful model and a certain
simplicity of design marked them as
distinctly suited to the young. IN al
most every instance the short frock
of this season has reverted to the
fuller skirt, somewhat gathered across
70 hlIf
smooth across the front breadth.

Velvet in the Hair.

Women who can wear a fiat band
around the head and the majority of
them can, are substituting this for the
heavy coil of hair worn under the hat.
The ribbon is for evening and makes
the coiffure quite brilliant. 1t carries
out the color scheme of the gown
The pastel shades, which are com.
monty considered suitable for the hair,
are rarely used. Instead one sees
plum purple, royal blue, Burgundy
red. plum black, jade green and sap
phire.
Satin and velvet ribbon are used,
also tulle The oriental style of using
this ribbon is to finish it above the
ears with gemmed cabochons.

The Dainty Baby Pillow.

White Swiss or null is successful
material for the covering of the baby
pillow when transparency is an OBJ
ject Linen, although of q sheer quail
ity, will often conceal the colored
cover beneath.
One of the best Swiss pillow covers
is sewed up each side and left open
at each end, where it is scalloped and
provided with eyelets two inches from
the extreme edges for ribbons, which
hold the back and front together and
the rose-colored silk pillow inside.
The ribbons used are narrow and
white, and to each corner of the pill
low is attached a rosettelike bow O
wider ottoman ribbon.

Early Wool Clips

woods, which have been continuous
since high water mark last
November. The following int
estlng treatise on the wool in
dustry has been complied by
Justice, Bateman & company
wool commission merchants:
Wool in The United States this
year, like the majority of the
preceding 20 years, seem likely
to bring the lowest price of the
whole year in the spring and
early summer. This was the
case IN 1890, 1895, 1896, 1897,
1899, 1901, 1902, 1904, 1905,
1907, 1908 and 1909.
Growers are likely to be disap-
pointed this year at the apathy
of buyers at eally clip time.
Owing to this many growers
are likely to be stampeded into
selling at lower prices than they
will obtain in the autumn and
winter, as in the years above
named,
Imports of foreign wool for
the eight months ending Eel
ruary, were 70 percent greater
than the average for the same
eight months OF the two previous
years. Imports of foreign wool
for the calendar year of 1909
we're 312,OOO,OOO pounds, the
largest for any single year under
a tariff law having duties upon
imported wool, and II per cent
larger than the average of the
previous ten years, showing that
the tariff is not too high, other
wise this large Importation
would not have taken place.
Excessive imports of foreign
wool at a time when orders for
goods are lacking is a combl-
nation which is responsible Tor
the fall in price ofdomestic WOO.
The decline comes at a time when
prices for wool in the Outslue
markets of the world for like
kind end character are either un.
changed or higher
This decline we believe to be
one of those temporary drops
that often occur. We believe
there will be a reaction before
the close OF the year, in spite OF
excessive wool imports, and the
temporary shutting down of ali
or part of some of the larger
mills.
Our faith is based on the exist
ence of many reasons why prices
for wool in the United States
should be higher rather than
lower Among them is the very
important one of the exhaustion
of supplies Of heavy woolens,
owing to the severe winter,
which sooner or later. must give
renewed employment to mach
nery now idle.
Another fact is that the nation
was never so wealthy as now.
That is because the new wealth
taken out of the earth during the
past year was the largest on re-
cord; and another is that en-
ployment of labor in productive
industries at a higher wage scale
than ever before enables the
working class to buy wooleh
clothing at least freely as ever
before.
The primary cause for the de.
cline in wool was undoubtedly
the checks in the demand tor
woolen clothing, owing to the
widespread hysteria as to the
alleged "higher cost of living"
since 1908.
This had it's inception III the
recovery from the panic OF that
of that year. Consumers have
mistaken panic prices for normal
prices. Recovery from panic

other points are lightly supplied,
1000 head here, and the market
strong to 15 higher here today.
A light ruin was expected here
today, and supply balance of
the week will likely be moderate,
as good many feeders cleaned
up last week, and the available
stock of fed cattle is dwindling
in Kansas City territory. Con

prospective importation of beet
in this country, and the actual
arrival in New York of small
cargoes mutton from Australia,
but sentiment seemed to consider
the danger to American pro
ducers as being small, in view OF
the existing protective tariff.
Top steers today sold at 1925,
equal to the best price paid last
week, and bulk of sales OF steers
ranged from $3.50 10 $500,
some yearlings bringing the lat
ter figure. Country butchers
have difficulty in securing suit
able killing stock near hand, and
are buying at the big markets
more all the time. This trade
has been quite a factor the last

feeders $5.75 to $500. Col
orado feeders sold at the latter
figures today and Colorado beet
steers ranged from $3.50 to $7.75
today.
The hog market is about $3.50
lower today than the best time
a few weeks ago, including a loss
of 25 to 35 cents today. The
decline last week was Is cents
per cwt., and traders feel them
selves slipping today when they
contemplated the market pros
poets for the balance ofthis week
Packers have the upper hand
and promise to do all sorts OF
things to the hog market right
away and if the big break starts
a flood of hogs to market they
will accomplish the big end OF
their purpose. The run last
week was $1,000 head here,
same week last year $4,000, the
smallest decrease from last yeal
of any week this year. The rul
today is 5000 head, heavy hogs
today at 1896 80 so, medium
weights 1926 to 1915, light

Sheep and lambs arrived to
