WIDOW WOULD HAVE TOLD.

E. II. Sothern, the eminent actor,
contributes a most interesting article
on the great Shakespeare-Bacon con-
troversy" in The Munsey for January.
He says, in part: II recall that when
a boy with my father, in London,
one day picked up at an old book
shop a paper-covered volume which
bore an unusual cover design In the
center was a huge kettle, under which
was a roaring fire. Emerging from
the kettle were Shakespeare's head
and shoulders. Above this design was
Shakespeares name, and the bullying
side of the kettle bore the words
boiled down. In short, Shakespeare
Boiled Down was a little book con-
tanning brief summaries OF the plays.

sTHE LAST WORD ON DRESS

New York, Dec. 30.-It is the last
call for mid-winter modes. Next
month ushers in the white sales in
the shops, then comes the display of
modes for spring and summer. OF
course the first of these new modes
will retain the most successful fea-
lures of the winters styles, but it is
predicted that there will be few rad
ical changes in millinery as we'll as in
dress.
There is quite sufficient left of the
modes that be, however, to attract
our attention for awhile, for many
women are just getting thecselves
completely fitted out, with the oppor-
tunity to take advantage OF real bar
gains in the way of winter materials,
trimmings and ready-msde frocks.
With the growing tendency to make
over a previous seasons modes with
each new year, it really pays one to
wait until the end of the season and
buy something very good at greatly
reduced price, for such styles can al
ways be used again to excellent adj
vantage another season. Sample
dresses can be bought now for over
one-half reduction from their prices
at the beginning of the seasons; and
in some instances the reduction in
price is as great as rs per cent This
is the time of opportunity for the wo-
man who has but a little to spend
land yet wants to get the greatest
value possible for her money.
Furs are still attracting great atten-
ton, and they come well to the top
of the list of marked-down Injuries.
They will be worn until very late in
the spring and at the fashionable win
ter resorts it will not be at all unusual
to see handsome sets of small furs
worn with summer dres3es. 1t is one
of the incengruities in which Dame
Fashion revels and which, one may
add, is quite becoming.
Since it is a white season, ermine
comes down to the realm Of populari-
ty. While it relinquishes none Of its
claims as a refal pelt, it is worn more
kgenerally this season than ever be-
fore in the memory of well-dressed

Jerusalem, Palestine, Dec. 3O.-An
expedition, the purpose of which is
to thoroughly explore the Dead Sea
and it's environs under the leadership
of Dr. Bruhl of the University of Ber-
lin, has just arrived from Europe and
continued to the scene of its future
operations.
The motives of the expedition, so it
is emphatically averred by DR.. Bruhl,
are purely scientific, with absolutely
no elements of commercialism enter
ing into it's ultimate object. Its mem
bers are, with the exception of a ma
from Copenhagen and possibly an
other from Sweden, all German scien-
lists and engineers.
The expedition was organized in
Germany several months ago and
seems to be most thoroughly equipp-
ed, scientifically and otherwise. 1t is
financed by private subscriptions, a
few members defraying their share Of
the expense while among the contri-
butors several leading Zionists figure
very prominently.
The work of exploration will con-
sist in the major part of sounding the
depth of various sections of the lake
as well as analyzing the unique and
complex composition of it's waters,
studying its shores, investigating the
nature of the different minerals that
are said to abound in that region, ex-
ploring, as far as is possible, the
channels of the many rivers and hot
water streams, apart from the Jor-
dan, which flows into the sea from
both the eastern and western noun
tain ranges that hem its shores, ex-
aiming and classifying the varieties
of fish that exist in large numbers
only in the extreme southeastern sec
ton of the lake, which consists main
ly of shadows and marshes. It must
be remembered in this connection
that it has always been firmly main
tanned by those who visited the Dead
ago that no fish of any kind can make
their habitat in any part of it and
this long-established belief was given
the death blow only recently by a
pleasure party of Americans long res
ident In the country who visited the
southern end of the lake and discov
cred fish.
So it remains for the members oil
the German expedition to arrive al
the causes which undoubtedly mus
be due to varying conditions Of chem
ical composition of the water that
make it possible for fish to live in GER
tain sections Of the lake and not In
others; and. in short. to find out ev
erything about this strange body Of
water from scientific standpoints that
is worth knowing.
In order the better to facilitate til

NfIFIC EXPEDITION
TO EXPLORE DEAD SEA

operations the expedition has chart
cred a little steam vessel for the
space of three months with the pro-
viso that at the option of DR.. Bruhl
the lease may be extended for an in
definite period.
What ultimate political or CONNER
cial motives, if any, underlie the sur
face of the enterprise time only can
show.
This is by no means the first at
tempt made to explore the Dead Sea
region. Indeed the honor of priority
in this direction belongs to the dough-
ty Lieutenant. w. E. Lynch of the
American Navy, who, as early as the
year 1S4S spent considerable time in
research and exploration of that reg
ion at the expense of the American
Government and at great risk to his
person, for in those days facilities for
travel were of the crudest and people
did not know how to guard against
the ravages of malaria, to say moth
! ing of the predatory marauding Be-
douin, now under effectual control by
the Turks, but who were then lot of
lawless. aggressive bands.
Despite all these hardships and diff
ficulties Lieut.. Lynch was fairly sue
| cessful in taking measurements as
we'll as soundings of different parts of
the lake. To him, moreover belongs
the credit Of being the first man to
travel in little boat from the Sea
| of Galilee down the River Jordan to
the Dead Sea-
According to the lieutenant's mar
| rative, the lake measures some forty.
six miles from north to south and
from six to twelve miles east ano
west. It's total surface area was
! therefore computed to be 200 square
miles. Its greatest depth was 1900
feet at its northern end, and its shall
/ lowest part being at its southern ex
/ tremity, varies from to Is feet only
!
and its shallow portions that Lieuten
ant Lynch described its bottom as
consisting of two submerged plains
an elevated one at it's southern half
averaging thirteen and a depressed
one at its northern end averaging
thirteen hundred feet beneath the
surface.
The lakes depression below sea
level is 1872 feet and a tropical elf
mate makes its temperature almost
unbearable during certain seasons Of
the year.
The German expedition, however
has been fortunate in selecting the
mildest months Of the year durins
which to carry on their work and un

heretofore attended the efforts Of ex

technical error unless it had ac-

except by fringes of its own tails, and
there is tendency to omit the little
tails which once upon a time were
considered necessary to the existence
of real ermine.
For wear with elaborate fur sets
the one-piece frock is the correct
thing, and this one-piece frock appears
in all degrees of elegance and in
many materials, most effective, how
ever, in this connection is the velvet
frock, and this the Parisienne espe-
cially affects for the afternoon toilet.
The best of these velvet frocks, de.
signed for street wear with small
furs, which means without a coat, the
scarf of the moment being of an am
plitude that makes it a far cry from
actually small" are severely simple
in line and detail.
Handsome buttons, a little fur or
embroidery of lace or contrasting ma
terial but no business or elaboration
and usually none of the extreme short
ness about the bodice which obtains
in velvet or cloth frocks intended for
house wear or under coats. This
rule is not unvarying. Women wear
their fur scarfs over the most elab-
crate afternoon frocks, whose bodices
are almost entirely of chiffon or lace,
and for social functions this does very
well, since the transit from warm
limousine to warm house is brief; but
for all round street wear the heavier
bodice is more comfortable, since the
artistically draped scarf, while warm
enough where it covers, and covering
most of the body, does have a way of
leaving gaps open to the attack of
winter winds.
In a majority of the simple velvet
trotting frocks the waist line is more
or less raised And this is equally
true of house frocks for all occasions,
many of the debutante dresses being
decidedly empire.
The skirt retains the familiar
straight narrow line and Is either all
in one or made with some form of
tunic which does not detract from the
straightness. In some good looking
models, long, straight, clinging tunic
curves up at the bottom in front, to
show a contrasting underskirt, and in
such a case the velvet tunc is often
fringe bordered. the fringe being in
most cases chenille, though the French
designers do not hesitate to put wool
fringe upon velvet, to better effect
than one would expect.
Many of the newest and smartest
among the one-piece trotting dresses
of velvet, wool or silk have long
close sleeves, an admirably sane as
well as modish thing where the frock
is to be worn with a scarf instead Of
coat, though the muffs are now so
huge that one can easily busy ones
arms up to the elbows in them. The
kimono sleeves In its modified form
has not been pushed aside by the long
sleeve even for such frocks as those
under consideration. and even whore
there is an arm-hole shown. 1t Ia 90
smooth and sometimes comes 80 far
on the shoulder hat the suggestion OF
kimono lines remains.
The soutare or cassack idea is still
popular in connection with hte one
piece trotting frock and many of the
modes open, appear to open and part

 The principal address was made by Fulton R. Gordon, a business man of Washington, who criticised the eexcu tive order which forbids any govern ment employ stationed in Washington, under pain of suspension, to petition congress without first obtaining per mission from the head of his depart ment; bitterly attacked President Roosevelt as having originated the or der and declared that President Taft had enlarged it and made it even more severe.
 Mr Gordon asserted that the re- miineration of the civil service em- ployes of whom he said there were now more than 1S5,000 throughout the country. with about 2S,000 in Wash ington city, was substantially what 1t was in 1852, even though the salar- ies of members of congress had been increased twice and notwithstanding the fact that living expenses have ad- vanced in the last ten years by at least 50 per cent"

Revolutlonists Again Active About Their Former Stronghold Near
 Torreon-Rob Station.

Torreon, Mexico, Feb. 25.-The me of the Mexican Central Railroad was cut south of here early today. Tele- graph communication also was inter- rupted.
 The passenger train from Mexico City which was due here tonight was held up and robbed by band of 400 revolutionists at Picardias. The pas sengers were relieved of their val uables and the mail car was footed.
 The train from Chihuahua was held here pending the receipts of news from here to investigate proceeded to a point midway between Torreon and Picardias where it met a work train the crew of which reported that the big bridge at Picardas had been burn ed If this is true it is said that sev- eral weeks will be required to repair the damage.
 The revolutionists have been active in the region about Torreon during the past few days.
 The band which attacked Pedricente and Cuencame a snort time ago and fled upon the approach of federal troops, were reported yesterday to have been in the neighborhood of the latter town, apparently headed for Durango. The station of Catalina. north of the City of Durango, was robbed this morning.
 A brush between some 20 armed men and a body of state guards is reported to have occurred in the state of Tl.xcala, in which two rebels we're killed. They had made an attack upon a hancienda apparently bent solely upon robbing. With this excep- ton no news of disturbances in the south of the republic have been re- ported for several days.
