of perfection that he believes it will
revolutionize electric lighting methods.
Professor Dassaux's invention sep
arates the light from the heat, thus
enabling lamps, without breaking, to
absorb much greater currents than
they were designed for.
The invention consists Of an ap-
paratus for successfully interrupting
the electric charge with rapid flashes
and rests. sc accelerated that the eye
cannot detect them. Thus an impress
sion Of continuity is conveyed. and a
tremendously powerful light results.
Professor Dassaux is a tireless work
er, and his fellow scientists believe he
will soon make his invention CONNER
cially practicable. In that case we
may see n electric light in the future
doing the work now performed by
many.
Just what the possibilities Of, the
cold light will be when fully developed
no layman can imagine at present.
We assume. however. that instead Of
the sizzling arc lights, which now give
off an intense heat and are therefore
not adaptable to certain forms Of in
door lighting. will in the future radi-
ate no more heat than would the cold
lamp with the current turned off.

Beatrice Herford's Geography.

There's another Beatrice HEREFORD

"Winkle, Wrinkle" repeated the great

"Well that's as near as l can come

The Futurist Fan,

A new place has been found for the
distinctive bunch of futurist flowers.
They have been used at the corsage,
on the hat, at the belt and on the neck
ruff. Behold them now fastened pert
ly to net, lace or ivory fan! They are
effective, too, the gaudy stiff flowers
against the dainty white fan. They
are generally caught about the stems
to the outside stick Of the fan, and
one of the flowers is fastened securely
in place farther along the stick. Ar
ranged in this manner they do not in
terfere with the opening and shutting
of the fan.
The woman who can use a paint
brush car make a futurist fan of a
different sort by decorating a net or
lace fan with spots and blotches of
brilliant color-cerise, orange, purple
and bright green-in oil paints.

The Useful Stool

Many women have found that it is
much wiser to sit down to work at such
tasks as washing dishes, preparing
vegetables and even ironing. Hulling
strawberries, grating various mate
rails, etc, all become pleasant and easy
tasks If done sitting down. A high
office stool should be in every kitchen.
1t can be slipped under the sink or the
kitchen table and relieves the strain
from many tasks. Such a stool can be
bought for about $1.25. 1t is generally
too high, but a few inches taken from
each leg will suit 1t to your individual
needs.

His arms reached out for it. So did
hers. She was the quicker, and his

thrust his arm still farther through
the opening she slipped the money bag
into her waist, swept the five or six
dollars in loose silver gathering from
the desk to the floor, slammed the en-
trance to the cage and backed out of
his reach.

the iron bale hook which l~ongshoremen

fasten it in her clothing and drag her
