FUEL FROM WATER WEED.
Nile sud- Converted Into Satisfactory
Coal Substitute.


AS Is well known, one Of the great
difficulties relative to navigation on
the Nile is the obstruction offered by
large masses Of dense water weed or
grass, generally known as sud-. For
distance of 800 miles the river runs
through very swampy country, esti-
mated to cover 80. 600 square miles ana
known as the sud- district. a great
draw back to this territory is the com
plete absence of fuel of any descrip-
ton, there being no timber. while coal
has 10 be imported, aud the price OF
these two commodities averages about
Sl3 per ton. The existence of this
weed offered a severe obstruction TO
the development of the Sudan. Since
at this point the Nile could not he
safely navigated owing to dense
clumps of the grass. detached by
foods. gales. and so forth, drifting into
and blocking the main channel.
A German dipomatist. however. con
ceived the idea that this grass must
possess certain caloritic value ANA
suggested that it might be harvested
and converted into a fuel very cheaply,
so as to meet the local deficiencies in
this direction. Lord Cromer and Sir
REGINALD Wingate were approached.
and. the assistance of the SudanPSP
government being secured, small
commission was dispatched to the
sudd district to study the feasibility

caloriic value.
As a result very simple and mex
pensive process has been evolved. The
sudd is first dried and then submitted
to treatment in Il disntegrator, which
reduces it almost to the form of pow

The manufacture into briquettes oc-
cupies only few minutes. and in the
caloritic tests that were carried out 1t
was aScertained that the heating value
of the disintegrated sudd is about 60
per cent that of coal. while the den

found to be SO satisfactory as to en-

JAPANESE PERFUMES
ARE now IN VOGUE

Perfumes of Araby'' are no longer
the height of sweetness in the eyes Of
women, for II is from the land OF the
cherry blossoms that the newest and
daintiest scents now come-perfumes so
delicate in their sweetness that they are
a suggestion rather than a scent. and
with enough individuality to them to
please even the most fastidious OF
women. who has wearied of plain violet
and the heavy perfumes from France
which were in vogue last year.
There is the Japanese lily perfume,
eNhaling a delicious fragrance remi-
niscent of quaint japanese gardens far
away, and lotus flower water, which is
another novelty of the year.
The enticing odor of the japanese vio-
let. very different from our own modest
flower, vies in popularity among exclu-
sive women now with that of the Japan
csc clover. which is more pungent and
lasting than the former perfume
In selecting a perfume it must be re-
membered that to make its delicacy ap-
preciated soap. sachet, and scent must
all have the same fragrance, and as lit
tie as possible must be used.
A decided perfume of any kind hover
ing over a woman. or leaving a trail OF
odor behind her, is not only bad form,
but is repulSive rather than attractive.
Whit of fragrance, 4 suggestion OF
flowers. rather than any scent, is the
thing to be desired.

CHIFFON BAGS AS

A chiffon bag for combing Is one Of the
novelties offered in the toilette depart
ment and although the finished article
is rather expensive. the clever needle
woman can easily copy it with little
trouble and expense. and develop It quite
as prettly as the bought article.
The bottom Is made of cardboard, cut
round and about hve inches In diameter.
This is covered with silk and then re-
covered with chiffon.
The bag itself is made II two thick
nesses Of chiffon. the lining contrasting
with the outer covering. The top of the
bag is gathered around a small emhroid-
cry hoop. both the top and bottom being
finished with a double frin-
A good plan would be to make lining
of thin lawn or sheer linen, attaching
1t to the opening Of the bag with a few
stitches so that 1t could readily be taken
out and laundered at any time.
A loop OF silk cord is attached to one
side of the bag by which to hang It
up.
This bag could be made Of almost
any material, silk ribbon. or even lawn.

chiffon and with a detachable lining OF
lawn 1t is novel in appearance and alb
solutely clean at the same time.
This is much more convenient than
the small glass or china hair receiver
which stands on the average girls dress
of Its contents so often. BY placing
the hair directly in the large bag Of
chiffon there is not the likelihood of its
being scattered in the process of re-
moving the strands OF hair from one
receptacle to another.
