MICROBE THAT EATS METAL
English Student Discovers Bacillus
That Has Specific Action on
Iron and Steel.

Although science knows a hundred
micro-organisms that devour the hu.
man tissues and cause all sorts Of NAL
aides, and also many that eat plants,
roots. dirt. wood and clothing, 1t has
never been imagined that there was
one capable of eating up bits of steel
and iron. Yet the discovery Just made
by E. NJ. Mumford. an English stu
dent, shows that this is the case.
A bacillus that has a specific action
upon solutions of iron and steel was
obtained by Mr. Mumford from the
Bridgewater canal tunnels at Wors-
ley, Lancashire.
This new species of bacillus varies
in its digestive action upon iron and
steel compounds according to whether
1t acts in the presence or absence OF
air. When oxygen is present the iron
is precipitated by the germs as iron
bog ore, while in the absence OF oxy.
gen no iron salts are formed.
This iron-eating germ is a short mi.
crobe about one-thousandth of an inch
long. 1t grows readily on potatoes and
then looks greenish- brown in color. II
also colonies in milk. gelatine and
agar.
1t also forms an iron digestive juice
or enZym, which acts upon iron Just
as the germ itself does.

Not Like Father.

An. old lrishman who had good
deal of money, but who wasn't very
particular about his habits or con-
duct, lived in Chicago. His custom
was to go down town about once a
month on a spree. and then come back
and beat his family and break the
furniture. His aged wife who had
stood him for many years. was blind
Finally he died. and his children
gave him q fine funeral. They had
plenty OF money now that the old man
was dead, and SO they spread them
selves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved In woe. She cried and
cried all through the SERVICE paying
scant heed to what was going on un.
til the eulogy was pronounced She
listened. The parson referred to the
dead man in glowing terms After
about ten minutes of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:
Danny, do they be havin two fun

HEAD DRESSES
OF THE SEASON
ARE ELABORATE

uEADDRESSES which are quite as
III large as small hats, and consider
ably more conspicuous, appear in the
displays of gowns and cloaks designed
for full dress. Gold and silver laces,
pearls, bands, set with much jewels,
laces, gorgeous brocaded silks and
the metallic fabrics, all figure In the
construction of the caps which form a
support for ostrich plumes. aigrettes
and fancy ornaments and feathers of
many birds.
Rhinestones and pearls are the
favorite mock jewels in the construc-
tion of these elaborate headpieces.
Some of them support long strands
of pearls, which extend from the
headpiece to the neck and form a neck
strand falling to the waistlne.
Some of the caps are almost exactly
Itch Dutch bonnets In shape. The
shapes are supported by wire, and
these headpieces are not as soft as
small millinery shapes.
Maline is employed in some of the
headdresses, and black quills of
ostrich appear as decoration on
numbers of them.
Jeweled sprays and butterflies make
a finish for some of these fanciful
headdresses, but the greater number
is garnished with snowy feathers.
The coiffure becomes matter of
secondary Importance to the wearer of
such elaborate headdresses. They are
immensely becoming, but II Is not
likely that they will meet with very
general adoption. The chances are
that less striking designs will appear
and will prove more to the liking of
conservative dresses.
For designs in shape all ages and
countries have been drawn upon for

No one could have guessed that the

No one could have guessed that the
exceedingly fresh and pretty little wo-

1T hasn't been all pleasure. by any

CCARVES and muffs of ample proper
~ tions are made up in plain, fiat de-
signs, with little decorations, in the
handsomest furs. The perfect match
ing and shading of skins, and their
clever joining, affords the furrier his
opportunity to show what workman
ship can accomplish. BY sewing small
skins, like ermine, moleskin and mink,
SO that they are matched together in
patterns, variety is given to the sur
face as well as lines of direction, in
muffs and neckpieces. 1t is a patch
work problem worked out in fur which
appears in the best of the seasons
sets.
Designs are more beautiful this
year than we have ever had in fur
sets. There is fancy for pure ermine
that in which the black tips appear
only as trimming, and the body of
the garment is all white. Moleskin is
fashionable, and is trimmed with
other furs. Chinchilla Is cut in small
pieces and matched in pattern in the
manner already mentioned. Mink,
cut in narrow strips in which the dark
streak of the back covers nearly all
the surface, is sewed into indescriba-
bly, beautiful effects.
Fur garments are rich and luxuri-
GUS, with a wealth of fine skins in evil
dence, which convinces one that the
supply must be diminishing rapidly. A
good fur should be cared for, as it
amounts to a good investment The
supply is falling behind the demand
constantly. Every year handsome
piece represents more money.
In the picture a wide scarf and big
fiat muff are shown in pure ermine.
The muff shows the skins sewed so
that the lines of direction are diago-
nal. There is fringe of tails across
the bottom of the muff, with five of
the tails let into the surface. Two
large fiat cabochors of the fur are
added by way of further decoration.
