Problem Of the Glacier.

The curves Of variation OF glaciers
which are collected In the Alpine mu-
scum in Berne show, according to
Professor Brueckner, that the 20 great
glaciers Of Switzerland which were
very EXTENSIVE ut tho beginning Of the
nineteenth century thereafter receded.
at first slowly and then more rapidly,
until the close OF the century. The
course OF recession was interrupted
about the middle Of the century by
brief advance, In which only two
glaciers exceeded the limits that
bounded them at the commencement
of the century. The glaciers showed q
second slight advance between 1890
and 1895.
Although the curves OF the various
glaciers are similar In general, each
exhibits well marked peculiarities.
which make 1t difficult to trace any
connection between climatic changes
and fluctuations In glaciation. The
problem of the glaciers is still in
yolved In obscurity. and much patient
research will be required to effect its
solution.--Scientifc American.

The kImono Cape.

The kimono cape is to be noticed
among the latest fashions, and most
attractive fashion 1t is. giving the
daintiest of finish to the one-piece
gown of linen or pongee. These two
materials are for the moment the
most desirable, but just as in the
other model this can serve for next
winter in cloth or velvet or in velvet
with fur. 1t is smart. II Is novel, and
most becoming. and surely there is
nothing more that could be desired.
1t is very charming made up in cerise
tussor with facings of darker satin
and with pipings OF the satin. and It
affords an excellent opportunity for
good color combinations or contrasts

tual bank for self-supporting women.
and has already demonstrated that It

with an additional shareholders liza
bility of $4,000. One woman may not
hold more than $4,000 OF capital. The
bank undertakes every form OF busi-
ness transaction common to its older
male contemporaries. Fraulein Hoff-

ans bank because Of ten years ex-
perience in supervising the credit de-
partment of a wholesale lumber bust

died some 100000 worth of promis-
sorry notes a year. So far the bank

Lightning Destroys
Missouri Capitol.

Jefferson CITY, Mo-, Feb. A.
The Missouri Capitol was de-
stroyed by fire last night. Many
of the records of the Governors
and other State offices are COM
plete loss.
The total loss including the
structure and many records and
State papers in the offices of the
Governor. Secretary of State and
Treasury is estimated at 81, 000.-
600 with no insurance.
Lightning, which struck the
cupola Of the dome shortly after
7 o'clock, spread the flames to
the roof of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the north side of
the structure and in less than
half an hour it was apparent
that the entire building was
doomed.
The fire soon spread to the
roof Of the Senate chamber on
the east side, where the efforts
of the fremen proved unavailing
to check it.
The records of the House of
Representatives were destroyed.
while those of the Senate were
saved. In the State Treasurer's
office more than $4,000 is in the
time vault, supposedly fireproof
and may be saved when the de-
bris is cleared away. There
was no insurance.
The Legislature will determine
tomorrow whether to continue
it's session here. or elsewhere
in the State. Some of the men,
bers favor continuing the ses-
sion here, where smaller build
ings have been offered by the
business men, while others are
for the removal Of the Legisla-
ture to st. Louis. The loss of
the House records practically
necessitates the work of the
session being done over.
At midnight part of the Soda
liza, Mo-, fire department., which
arrived after a run of sixty-four
miles on a special Missouri Pa
cific train, Joined the local forces
in an effort to save the records
in the basement of the building,
the cement floors over which are
believed to be intact.
