Artificial Ears.

Artificial ears are so skillfully made
that they may with difficulty be dis
tinguished from natural ones, it is
claimed
When the individual who has lost
an ear applies to the manufacturer for
a substitute there is made mold OF
the remaining ear. II there be left
any part of the other, mold OF that
part also must be taken to assist in
the fitting of the artificial. Manufac.
turers assert that no two ears are
alike. and that 1t takes a skillful
workman to prepare an ear from the
mold or molds.
When finished the new ear Is pasted
on the stump, or simply set in the
position of the lost ear. 1t Is really
only the first artificial ear that is
expensive, the chief cost pertaining
to the making Of the mold. Vulcan.
lied rubber, which can be bent and
twisted, has been found to constitute
the best material for the making OF
artificial ears.-Harper's Weekly.

WOMEN ADOPT THE MoNocLE
What Seems Extremely silly Fad
Has Been Taken Up by Society"
In New York.

The ultrafashionable young woman
Of 1913 will wear a monocle. In fact
the fad has already struck New York
and on Broadway and Fifth avenue
the monocle Is seen every day adorn-
ing the faces Of up-to.date femininity
More than year ago one of the most
noted horsewomen in New York wore
a monocle at the horse show. 1t at
tracted no end OF comment. Despite
the attention 1t drew to her she con-
tinued to wear ton horseback, at
society functions, both In the after
noon and evening. The tiny piece Of
glass was in her left eye whenever
she was seen in public. Whether she
started the fad or it sprang up from
other sources is not known, but re-
Gently there has been q steady de-
mand for mPnocles at the big jew
elry shops on Fifth avenue.
The smart young woman does not
wear a monocle on all occasions. She
allows it to dangle from her neck by
fine gold chain or narrow silk
ribbon. Now and then she raises It
to her left eye, but she never wears
it for any great length of time. Most
of the monocles that are sold on Fifth
avenue have tortoise shell rims. They
are more easily Worn than the rim
less or even gold-rimmed variety.
According to several jewellers, the
hand monocle--a glass too large to be
worn in the eye, but which can be
raised to aid the VISIONS destined to
eclipse the smaller and true monocle

"My only fear in respect to woman
suffrage" said Mr.. Baldibrow, as its
possible effect upon the public life
of the future. Woman's love Of a

Whereupon Mr.. Baldibrow began to

FOR UNIFORM STORM SIGNALS
Change That Is Universally consld.
cred an improvement ls Being
Strongly Urged.

At the present time there is
great diversity in the character Of
the signals made use Of by the diff.
ferent countries in the meteorological
service, particularly in the matter Of
storm signals. It Is probable that q
movement will be started soon to
bring about the adoption of uni
form code. These storms signals are
Of great value and are particularly
effective in the temperature ATTITUDES,
where the storms are of wide area and
Of comparatively slow movement. In
the case Of tropical cyclones, however,
such as the West Indian hurricanes
and the typhoons Of the far east,
they do not give an the information
desirable. II vessel Is about to
leave port in these regions the mas
ter wishes chiefly to know whether he
Is likely to encounter cyclone along
his route. A system Of signals has
been devised by Rev. L. FROG, direct
or of the Zikawei observatory, near
Shanghai, and is now in use expert
mentally on the China coast, which
gives notice of the occurrence Of a
cyclone anywhere over the adjacent
seas, together with its probable
course.

ARE NOT SLAVES OF FASHION
In China a Man Can Dress as He
PIeases Without Attracting
Attention.

The fashions in Suchien, Klangsu
province, have variety of such extent
that every man can dress according to
his individual choice and still be In
correct taste and without attracting
special attention from anybody else.
In other words, the styles this year
are of personal ideals, according to a
correspondent OF the British China
Daily Herald.
He says that every man wears what
is right In his own eyes. and there are
few II any, to ridicule. A panama hat
goes jauntily down the street, closely
followed by Uncovered brim hat;
felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green
come along with grays and browns
that do the halter credit for unique In
vention. These, with the Eskimo top
capes, a few derby hats and the smart
military uniforms. give the streets a
piquancy which was unknown in the
monotonous china blue OF former
years.
Among the notices posted on the
city gate is fashion plate that has
been exhibited for weeks. 1t displays
two or three of the typical western
suits"-the swallow-tailed and the low.
front frock for evening wear-street
garb of European and American style,
and many other varieties. There one
also finds the plated skirts recon.
mended for the women, and close by
them is the proud silk or stovepipe hat
of felt, which has its special corner
with other headgear.

Many pieces of fine furniture now
stored in garrets would be in use il

may be done by removing the varnish
with sharp chisel an inch or more
wide, tapping it on a fourth of an inch
each time, and scraping down the
wood. Uneven places should be soft

WAUSAU BUSINESS COL
LEGE
Nary improvements and New Courses
.. Study Added.

The readers of the PILoT have no
doubt watched with interest the
growth and progress of the Wausau
Business College, since it was pur-
chased seven years ago by the present
proprietor and manager, MIR. Z. d..
Widmer. At the time Mr.. Widmer
came to our city the school was small
and lacked the spirit of progress
which it now possesses. 1t has grown
to be one of the leading educational
institutions in the state of Wisconsin
of which fact Wausau and the citi-
zens should be proud.
Seven years ago the school employed
two teachers withsa small attendance.
Six teachers are employed at this
time and we are informed that an
other one will be added to the faculty
in the near future.
The conyeniences in the building
are all that could be desired by any
one attending the school. Those who
have taken The opportunity to visit
the Business college have seen the
new Improvements including the
single unit electric lights and the
vacuum cleaner. The building is
wired for inter-communicating tele-
phones. The electric class bells regu-
late the movement of classes. The
students are continually supplied
with fresh air by the ventilation sys-
tenn which was installed year ago.
Sanitary soap receptacles, drinking
fountains, and paper towels, are
among the features to be seen in the
building.
About TWO weeks ago Mr.. Widmer
