Shrinkaue In Glaciers,

Scientists aver that, save over O
small area, the glaciers Of the world
are %retreating to the mountains. The
glacier on Mount Sarmiento, In South
America, which descended to the sea
when Darwin found it In 1896, is now
separated from the shore by a vigorous
growth of timber. The Jacobshaven
glacier, In Greenland, has retreated
four miles since 1850, and the East
glacier, in Spitzbergen, is more than a
mile away from its old terminal mo-
rafne. In Scandinavia the snow line
Is farther up the mountains, and the
glaciers have Withdrawn 1900 feet
from the lowlands In a century. The
Arapahoe glacier, In the Rocky noun
tains, with characteristic American en-
terprise, has been melting at u rapid
rate for several years. In the eastern
Alps and one or two other small dis
tricts the glaciers are growing. In
view Of these facts we should not be
too skeptical when old men assure us
that winters nowadays are not to be
compared with the winters of their
boyhood.-Dundee Advertiser.

Curious Way Of COOLING Water

ivy ~eSNitNS VFhkGE
The-average native woman In the in
terror Of Nicaragua may appear ener-
waited and l~istless, but her method of
cooling water Is strenuous indeed.
She fills a half gallon earthenware jar
about two-thirds full. The jar is made
of baked clay and, not being glazed, Is
partially porous, SO that it soon be-
comes moist on the outside. BY means
Of two leathern straps firmly attached
to the neck of the jar the woman
causes the same to rotate swiftly In
the air. The mouth Is wide open, but
the centrifugal motion keeps the water
from flying out. The endurance shown
by the Nicarag1an women of the poor
err class in this form of calisthenics is
said to be marvellous. When, in the
opinion of the operator, the water is
sufficiently cooled she stops the move
ment by a dexterous twist of her wrist
and hands the jar to the person that
has been waiting to quench his thirst
By this process tepid water can be re-
duced to the temperature of a very
cool mountain spring. New York

exert a little Ingenuity and add a little
new material and thereby evolve a
new frock.
The princess gown can play the part
OF a foundation for this years model.
Drape the bodice or net or chiffon over
the old form. Introduce a new yoke
and sub-cuffs. Incorporate a square of
lace with the material and embrolder

Slip a gathered straight tunic over
the skirt and edge it with a band of
net or satin. Repeat the embroidered
motif at the bottom Of ting skirt and so
on. adding a touch here and taking
away a piece there.
Never let a frock Of other days go to
waste. You can always build a new
one on the old foundation.
Old blouses can be covered with a
kimono slip OF chiffon. Lace can be
used for tunics or for undersllps; silk
can be combined with tulle or net. You
need only keep your eyes wide open,
