the Mothers Use.

Quite the latest thing in babyland
Is a crib designed and made for use
out of doors, to wheel from room to

easy transportation.
The crib is made of white enameled
wood, with foot and headboard of fine
eteel-wire netting, covered on the in
side with a metal finish to prevent the
baby from hurting his hands on any
rough edges. The crib rests on four
wheels, which enable 1t to be moved

eyes.
The entire crib comes apart and.
with wire spring and mattress, can be
placed in a large canvas bag, which
comes with 1t. Pockets in the bag
are made for the wheels. SO they can
not soil the mattress. In this man.

Chameleon gowns for women, chang
Ing color with the intensity of the

Ciamician Of Bologna, addressing the
eighth international congress of ap-
piled chemistry, recently in session at
the College Of the City Of New York.

Doctor Ciamician, (which often assume
very intense colors in the light and re-
turn in the darkness to their primitive

prepared would change color accord
ing to the intensity Of the light. Pass
ing from darkness to light, the colors
would brighten. thus conforming au-
tomatically to the environment, the

Another Of Doctor Ciamician's sug-
gestions was that the world prepare
to use the daily solar energy, equal to
6.000,000,000 tons Of coal, instead of
the mere 1,000.0O0,000 tons of real coal
which is mined per year.
"Out of the arid lands there will
spring up industrial colonies without
smoke and without smokestacks." he
said, picturing what will happen
when all the coal is gone; forests of
glass tubes will extend over the plains
and glass buildings will rise every
where. Inside these will take place
the photo-chemical processes that
hitherto have been the guarded secrets
of the planets, but that will have been
mastered by human industry. Life
and civilization will continue as long
