WIRELESS IN NORTH
NorWegians Have Station at
 Green Harbor.
Purpose of Establishing Communica- tion in This Arctic Region Is to Give Warning of Approaching
 Storms and Aid Explorers.

Copenhagen.-The Norwegians arr, making the experiment of maintaining wireless station at Green Harbor, SpitZbergen. Six men are stationed there and for more than half the year they will be cut off from the rest of the world. Dr. Sigel Roush of Troy gives the following account of the station:
 Strangely incongruous was the up stretching iron arm of this wireless telegraph station here at Green liar DOT as it gradually, foot by foot, arose pointing to the sky. It is Norwegian government project and when com pleted will constitute one of the most powerful wireless stations in the world.
 "The promoters hope by means of the 300 foot tower and powerful bat teries to be able to span the Arctic and touch by the waves of the atmosphere the ear of the listening instrument Il the mainland. I met the superin- tendent and he very obIigingly ex- plained the plant in process of con struction.
 The great steel tower was braced by scores of metal guys, that in turn were fastened to anchor pins deep driven into the earth, for the winter winds even in the sheltered cove of Green Harbor are terrific Alongside

Lay the fillets in this and let them steep for an hour, turning frequently (the dish must stand in warm place. or the butter will set) Then take out, put in a well-buttered bag. and place on broiler in the oven, leaving it to cook for half an hour Mean while knead an ounce of four with an ounce of butter, aSd to it by de- grees pint of strong well-havored stock, place in a clean saucepan, and stir all one way until it is the con- sistency of cream; then add half a pound of previously cooked mush- rooms, the juice of half lemon, freed from seeds, a teaspoonful of China soy, and two drops anchovy essence. Make very hot. Pile the mushrooms in the middle of a hot dish, arrange the 6llets around 1t and garnish with wall of mashed potato. Serve at once.

OLD WAR JUNKS IN CHINA
Several Hundred Ships of Ancient De. sign Are Still Doing Service In
 New Republic.

Pekin, China.-In spite of the in- troduction of modern ideas of war fare into China there are still sev- eral hundred wooden war junks" on the active list" most of them being owned, manned and armed by the higher order of mandarins, whose pen nants are flown from the masthead on special occasions.
 These junks are from thirty to eighty feet long, eight to thirty feet beam and carry from four to twelve muzzle-loading guns, many of which are made of wood, in some cases bound with hoop iron. Each junk has from two to five masts of different sizes and stepped ln various direc- tions-one to port, one sloping for ward, one aft, one to starboard and the other vertical
 They have very high poops, the sterns being decorated with curious colored paintings, and plankings ex- tend forward and upward in curved manner on each side of the bows. The plankings are painted red and are furnished with two painted eyes, one each side-evidently to guide the yes seI to a safe anchorage. The junks carry large crews, who are very skilled in maneuvering the craft in all sorts of weather.-Wide World

the tower, and nearly completed, stood the combination office, living room and battery house.
 This building was a marvel of construction, exhibiting walls more than three feet thick, composed in or der of timber tar paper, felt and as bestos. Over the roof and around each of the four corners heavy iron cables were passed and made fast, aft CT which they extended to the ground and were anchored in buried founda- tions of rock and cement.
 Thus every precaution was taken in constructing this desolate habita- tion to defy the cold and the winds, while in the cellar underneath sui ficient food was stored to maintain those six polar prisoners through the weary length of the dismal night.
 By means of the wireless station polar parties equipped with their own outfit can be traced and watched, and in case of danger can be located and reached. Greater risks can therefore be taken and greater results be ob- tained
 Them there is the commercial phase of the subject For as you know coal of a fine quality has been found in Spitzbergen, and even now an American-Norwegian company is min- ing coal here and shipping it to the continent at handsome profit"

MUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

Be sure you are right-then go ahead" said Davy Crockett, the back woods sage. The saying has no more pertinent application than to the Won- er-working of paper bags cookery. Being sure you are right, you can go ahead to admiration. If you are right, you will have none but good words for the process
 Baked Apple Sauce.-Peel and core six firm apples of good flavor, tart rather than sweet Stick three cloves in each and rut bits of mace and cin- namon ill the core-spaces. Put them in weIl-buttered bag with two heaping cups of sugar and half tumbler of water Cook thirty minutes. Have the oven very hot at first, but slack heat after seven minutes.

 Sweet Potato Pudding.-Make a batter as for apple pudding. Use cup more sugar, else only half pint of grated raw sweet potato. Sweet potatoes take as much sugar as crab apples to make them taste sweet. The cream.er the milk the better unless it is creamy increase the pro- portion of butter Cook in a we'll buttered bag-ffty minutes will not be too long for it.

BLACK FOR EVENING GOWNS
Leading French Costumer Gives This Color the Preference, and Fash
 ion lnderses Him.

Worth shows decided preference for the black gown for evening wear
 The bodices are usually relieved by white lace or net
 The French are fond of using flesh colored tulle in these gowns. At a distance this has the startling effect of an exaggerated decolletage. This is decidedly becoming feature, how ever. The faintly flushed tulle is much softer against the neck and arms than the white or cream tones
 The skirt is perfectly plain as a rule. It depends entirely upon the beauty of the material. A stunning model for a dinner gown was of black panne velvet. It had Dutch neck instead of a decided decolletage
 The skirt had long sweeping train. Over this a diagonal tunic, bordered by fringe, hung in graceful folds. The waist line was high. Above, a wide bib of the velvet bordered by venetian lace extended upon a bodice of black mousseline de soie over white

Sirdles on New Gowns.

There is a good deal more to the pirdle of the one-piece frock of the moment than there was year ago. though it is still at times very sim nle affair. In some models it is mere iv a straight band of the material of tho gown, about an inch and quarter in width, and may be attached by row of machine stitching at the upper adee. if 1t is underlined to give it Iittle solidity it can be put on with in- visible stitches. This straight band may be broken by part of the skirt ooing LID over 1t or by part of the waist coming down, or it may have long sash, slipped under it so that one end falls over the top and the other from underneath. Also it may be ouite unbroken in any way, and when this is the case with a waist of the poodly proportions now seen in the fashionable figure, its effect seems rather odd to any one who remembers the wasp waists of yore.

STYLES IN SUNSHADES
ARE LARGELY DESIGNED TO
 MATCH THE COSTUME WORN.
Considerable Attention Has Been Paid to This Accessory of the Summer Wardrobe, and Wide Choice
 Is Afforded

As Old Sol approaches the zenith of his journey across the heavens and the days grow longer and warmer, we begin preparations for protection against his scorching wrath.
 The sunshade affords this protection and at the sane time is a charming addition to the summer costume
 The thoroughly up-today woman al ways is on tie alert for something smart and new.
 The newest addition to the realms of the sunshade was of silk in pals ley shawl pattern. A band of black or white, inserted six inches from the extreme edge, formed the only trim ming.
 This was designed to harmonize with any colored gown.
 The most admirable feature was the handle, which could be unscrewed, dividing ethe length by half In this form 1t could be packed in any trunk of ordinary size.
 Green taff3ta parasols will be ex- ceedingly good style. The prettiest of these have handles and tips of crys- tai.
 Handles of carved wood, to repre- sent animals and birds, tinted with the natural coorings, are considered smart.
 Since taffeta gowns and hats are to be worn much this season, para sols covered to match the costume worn displays good taste.
 If expense is no consideration there are exquisite handles of carved ivory and precious metals richly in crusted with jewels.
 A sunshade of rich, dark purple silk had a long handle tipped with an enormous amethyst
 Those who admire lovely suashades will experience little difficulty in finding one to please their con- ception of loveliness in this addition to their wardrobe

USEFUL HINTS FOR CONVERTS.
By Martha MccuIloch Williams.

By Martha McCuIloch Williams.
 Paper bag cooking is liberal edu- cation in other things beside economy and flavor. It teaches you to beware, also to take care. The being ware applies particularly to the bags them selVes-their care and keeping. no less their use.
 IT the paper bag habit is firmly es- abolished do not keep the bags lying about loose, nor huddled in drawers, nor, worst of all, rolled up or crum- pied. A large part of their value is rlsked by such crumpling. Let them lie flat where it is dry, cool and airy
 To this send get light wooden box, nail shelves inside it, say two or three inches apart, and hinge on d door, or hang washable curtain over the front of 1t. Lay the bags upon the shelves, each size separate
 Rouade 0. Veal.-Get half breast ot veal, bone 1t carefully, lay 1t on d board, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and spread thickIy over 1t sausage strffing. To make the stuffing take half pork sausage meat and half well dried bread crumbs and moisten with a beaten egg and enough milk to make it stick together, but not to make it wet. Roll up carefully and tie with clean string taking care especially to keep the ends close. Rub over with butter or dripping and put in well buttered bag, laying around it slices of carrot, turnip and onion. Cook for five min utes in very hot oven, then slack heat half, and cook for forty-fve minutes more
 Saute of Chicken with Mushrooms Cut young tender chicken into joints, trim off all projecting bones, season with salt and pepper-not too hlghly-and brush over with melted butter.

Take up on a hot di5h and keep hot while you make the gravy. Take for the gravy the hot liquor from the bag, put 1t in a bowl with the yolk of an egg beaten up in half a gill of cream Stir hard over hot water, but do Tot let boil. When thoroughly blended, pour over the chicken, garnish with chopped parsley, few mushroom heads and half moons of crisp puff paste Serve as hot as possible

The New Coiffure.

The newest coiffure for evening wear is quaint, though little trying for all who do not possess really beautiful features. But it is so extremely simple that if one has any doubt as to its becoming ness it is quite easy to experiment and modify according to individu- al requirements. The hair is wound round the head after the turban style, and pulled forward at each side so that the ears are completely covered; then a jew eled band, finished with large round disks. is clasped on the head, the disks keeping the hair over the ears. little fringe. nearly straight, gives a quaint and picturesque finish. This style is a godsend to the owner of ugly ears, and it certainly shows off a prettily shaped head

 For the stalk, piece of wire is used, twisted round and round with narrow dark green ribbon. and the leaves at the base of the stalk are cut out of green paper and fastened to the velvet round the stem with glue.
 This little cushion should prove an attractive article to prepare for sale in a bazaar. or a pile of them would look very effective upon stall ar ranged upon a large dish; they find a ready sale, as they are so useful to polish a needle that becomes sticky when working, in fact no work basket Is complete without one.

If the embroidery is very fine. it tears out when laundered and must be mended after each washday.
 One good way to prevent such trou- ble is to sew a flounce of narrow lace underneath the embroidery flounce. allowing the lace to be even with the embroidery at the bottom.
 Use coarse linen lace if possible, or a cotton lace of heavy weave.
 The same pethod applied to lingerie dresses will keep them from wearing out around the bottom much longer than if they have no underflounce of lace
