FLAT FEELS.

In these days of bag seams and
ready made underwear, how many Of
us remember the delicate fat fells Of
the old fashioned handwork garments
The edge Of the goods was folded over
on the right side of one piece Of the
cloth and the other piece laid on It
with the edge just back Of the fold. The
two were basted, the haste running
close to the folded under edge The
two were stitched together on the
basttng on the folded piece, the basting
thread pulled out and the fell folded
over and hemmed down. In this way
it was possible to make an exceeding
" narrow and fiat fell which was per-
fectly firm.

According to the Scientific Ameri.
can, experiments are at present in pro.
gress in Paris as the result Of which
1t is hoped to secure an increased
light efficiency from incandescent gas
burners. Under present conditions
the gas pressure in the mains is suf.
ficient to draw certain amount of air
into the burner, where it becomes mix
ed with the gas, causing the character.
istic blue flame. But the amount of
air thus drawn into the flame is only
about three times that of the gas,
whereas, for the best effect, the ration
should be five to one. 1t has been
found that by COMPRISING the gas in
the mains the desirable ratio of air
can be caused to enter the flame One
of the boulevards in Paris has lamps
working on this system, and the re-
suits are exceedingly satisfactory.

and at the schools.

the filing of the old city reservoir on
the north side of st. Petersburg con.
template one of the biggest works
which has yet been undertaken by the
city, but when the task is finished st.
Petersburg will have a fine park of
some twenty-five acres in the haert of
the place. The idea is to drain the
lake that is now on the property and
fill with sand pumped from the bay.
The place can then be used as a
playground. The work is strongly
urged and will be well worth the ex.
pense.

CONQUEST OF THE EARTH
Achievements of Past Twelve Years
Not Equaed in Any Similar
Period In History.

Though in days pre-eminent for
mans conquest of Nature by science
and engineering, says Worlds Work,
Amundsen's journey to the South
Pole, like Peary's to the North Pole,
was made with only the appliances OF
previous generations. The poles were
discovered by the endurance OF dogs
and men, spurred on by the old spirit
of adventure and the lust for difficult
and dangerous tasks that stirred the
adventures of old. In another CEN
fury or two the era of the pole dis
coveries will be hailed as the good
old times when men were still men
and civilization had not made the
world effete
The twelve years ending with the
discovery Of the South Pole are as
full of dramatic achievement as the
days Of Drake and Raleigh, for not
even In those times was there more
extraordinary series of discoveries
and conquests packed into dozen
years.
In 1900 only one man had been the
length of Africa by land, and the Cape
to Cairo Railroad was but a dream.
There was not railroad across South
America. A great part of Siberia was
without rail or road except the old
caravan trails. China was practically
without railroads. Lhassa was un.
known, forbidden to the white man.
During century and half men had
tried to reach the South Pole and
failed, and the North Pole had baf-
fed the efforts of four hundred years.
Within dozen years white men
have travelled over the great desert,
visited Lake Chad, made a protecto-
rate over Timbuctoo. The days OF the
Mahdi at Khartum are ended and any
tourist may travel there comfortably
by rail. The Cape to Cairo Railroad
Is an assured fact. The heart of Al
RIGA Is now no more remote from the
popular imagination than Oklahoma
City was in 1900.
In South America the Trans-Andean
Railroad is in full operation across the
continent as the Trans-Siberian is
across Asia. Even China has her rail-
roads. Lhassa has been visited by
British army and both poles are the
common property of every tireside
that boasts of books, magazines or
newspapers.
Such record may justify a feeling
of pride that the spirit of conquest
and adventure is as alive as ever and
accompanied with all the courage and
hardihood that blessed any earlier gen.
Grafton.
