The pressure of water increases
with the depth. One nile down this
pressure is reckoned at more than a
ton to the square inch-in other
words, more than 1873 times the pres

the sea presents some interesting

reduced to half its present width. If
it were lowered a little more than

would be joined to Italy, and three

Effective Collar

The little black velvet collar that is
so much seen on otherwise pale col
ored costumes is more effective than
could be imagined by anyone who
had not had an opportunity of
seeing the same gown without this
distinctive note. The form is of the
simplest. The collar is of the same
width all round and stops short in
front, leaving a space of about an
inch and half. This is filled in with
the Byron tie, the ends floating rather
loosely. as may be guessed from the
title.
