For Holding PIumes.

Like many expensive things the
plumes that ladies wear on their hats
are highly destructible. This is par
ticularly true of the most costly kind

be exercised in shipping them, as they
are apt to be damaged IL placed in an
ordinary box. A New York man has
devised a holder for this purpose,
which keeps each plume separate from
the others and prevents it from being
shaken about and the delicate feath-
ers broken. This holder consists of a
fiat box with n hinged end that let's
down. and separate compartments
formed of curved cardboard walls that
conform to the general shape of the
plume. On the hinged end are little
clips that engage the lower end of the
quill and hold il upright when the box
Is opened, so that they can be seen
to the best advantage by prospective
buyers, If the holder is used by the
salesman.

Ellison DuEant Smith, United States
senator from South Carolina, was born
August 1, 1866, at Lynchburg, then
Sumter, now Lee county, South Caro-
lima. He entered Wofford College
Spartanburg. from which institution he
graduated in 1889. At Wofford he dis
tinguished himself by winning gold
medals in debate, science and litera-
ture. His political career began in
1896. when he was elected to the South
Carolina legislature. A few years Ia
ter he came into prominence as the
organizer of movement that resulted
In the formation of the Farmers Pro-
tective Association and later of the
Southern Cotton Association. His
work I'm the interest of the cotton plan

Smith was nominated by the Demo

When a current of air blows across
water surface waves are produced,
and when current of air blows across
surface of quiet air. or air having
a different motion from the first cur

These atmospheric waves have all
phenomena of water waves-truughs,
crests. foaming. breaking and spraying
but since the qualities of air and
water are so different. the air waves
have dimensions more than twenty
five hundred times those of the cor
responding water waves.
Thus, the greatest ocean waves of.
perhaps. twenty-five feet. would have
atmospheric counterparts extending
upward distance of ten or twelve
miles above the earth's surface. The
passage of these huge air waves would
be felt by us, since they would cause
stirring up of the air at the earth's
surface somewhat similar to that pro-
1uced by the passage of water waves
over shoal places
The undulating movement of such
air waves would account i'm part for
the intermittent guests of wind that

Prandtl of the University of Goetth

Of such apparatus. In this apparatus
the propeller to be tested is mounted
on carriage which can be driven
along a set of rails at various speeds.
The propeller is mounted so as TO face
the rear of the car. and is carried on a
kind of tower at the back end. Power
is transmitted to the propeller by way
.of horizontal and vertical shafts and
