DESIGNS NOT YET SETTLED
Lines Of Costumes, That Arc Regular
In Paris, May Not Suit Women
Of America.

There are all kinds Of rumors as
to the new silhouette which one or
two Of the leading houses on the
other side of the ocean are said to
be starting. The tight line round the
hips and knees of coats is yielding to
straight fullness. Some coats gather
at the waistline and so descend to the
knees, where they often form a point
at the back. The straight line Of the
Russian blouse is ousting the shaped
revers. All this we owe to the Rus
Stan dancers, but 1t remains to be
proved whether they will suit Amer
lean women.
These coats are carried out in satin
crepe satin and crepe de chine, not in
heavy stuffs. The blouses have deep
pink sashes from waist to bust. Into
this crossing folds of tulle disappear
back and front. The sleeves are long.
There is no collar band, which is re-
placed by a Medici collar, the neck
left bare, and very often a band of
fur surrounds the collar (very mar

Harvesting the Sun.

Old Sol himself Is harnessed to dc
our worlds work. Heat is collected
by pressing water through a glass
covered heater exposed to the suns
rays. The heated water is stored in a
well insulated tank and drawn off
to circulate around a sulphur dioxide
boiler, then, after giving up it's heat,
was again passed through the heater
1t was calculated that in latitude "a
degrees a square foot Of water surface
would make up about $4,000 thermal
units in June day and about 1900 in
a December day.
Using two heaters, sections expos
ing 1000 square feet to the sun. the
heat collected was made to run a
twenty horsepower sulphur dioxide
engine, and at times developed about
fifteen horsepower with a boiler pres
sure Of 245 pounds per square inch.
Reviewing the results, Mr.. Willsie has
found the cost per horsepower at the
solar power plant to be about $3.50, or
more than four times the cost Of a
steam power plant. He makes due al
lowance for this difference in first in
Vestment and concludes that in a
favorable region, like California, sun
power can compete in cost with steam
power.

FATTENED FOR THE TABLE
In ireland Goldfish Are Kept Con-
fined Until They Are in the Best
of Condition.

At Logan, near the Null of Gallo
way, there is a most interesting tidal
fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing
the Irish channel admits the salt wa
ter through a narrow fissure, protected
by a grating, into circular rock basin
some 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet
deep.
The cliffs rise high around. Stone
steps descend on one side to a ledge
leveled into footpath at the waters
edge. No sooner does the visitors
football resound on the stairs than
the green water, hitherto motionless
and apparently lifeless, becomes peo-
pied with large brown fish arising
from the depths, gliding and dashing
about in state Of great excitement.
These are cod, which, caught on lines
in the sea, have been transferred to
this pond to be fattened for the table.
They are fed daily by the keeper, and
experience has taught them to connect
the sound Of footsteps with their meal
time.
Formerly clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no more
than trick of the stage The foot
fall on the stone is quite enough to
awaken them to activity Most of the
cod, being deep-water fish, become
totally blind in captivity from excess
OF light; but they become so tame and
accustomed to their keeper as not only
to feed out of his hand but some OF
them allow themselves to be lifted out
Of the water. One may witness the
strange sight of huge cod, more than
four feet long dangled on the knee
Ike 0aby, his mouth stuffed with
mussels and limpets, after which he is
returned to the water with a mighty
splash. On the table these fish, thus
tended and fed, prove much better
than fish brought straight from the
open sea.

Because of the tremendous vogue
Of velvets and the number of costumes
in that material that are being made
up the velvet-encased umbrella has
come into being. Made on a slender
but substantial frame, which folds
closely, and covered when closed and
encased appears like a walking stick
of velvet from ferrule to top. A solid
silver monogram plate caps the han
die, which, ten inches down It's length,
is ornamented with a double ring Of
silver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing in silk umbrellas All the fash
ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are in demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about a slen-
der stick and give the convenience the
appearance OF silken cane The
fashionable fad is to procure unique
handle for the umbrella that is carried
with the tailored walking suits. and
while some of the effects are artistic,
others are actually bizarre. Among
the latter are the cat, parrot and
monkey heads in natural colors and
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner OF beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
ivory, and when money is not an OBJ
ject, of jade amber, rock crystal or
solid silver and gold.

season last summer in the southwest
was unusually destructive Of life, and
was marked by some startling and
dramatic incidents. 1t is estimated
that some fifty deaths from snake
bites occurred in the plains country
and the mountain regions OF New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
E. B. Van Veen of the Pinal noun
tain district tells of fight between
a rattlesnake and gila monster.
Bob Henry, on returning from his
camp by the Pinal mountain road,
was attracted by the sound of rat
tlesnake. Turning, he saw rattler
about seven feet long and, three feet
away, gila monster sitting on an ant
hill. The snake stood up from the
ground higher than a mans knee in
the shape of an elongated S. The re-
maindeT of his body was upon the
ground behind him in a straight line
In addition to rattling, kissing sound
issued from his mouth. The gila was
standing up as high from the ground
as his short legs would permit. His
tensed attitude indicated that trouble
was ahead Suddenly the snake
sprang at the big lizard, but it evad-
ed the stroke by flattening himself OF
the ground The snake draw himself
VI again and struck and again missed.
The third time the snake drew back
and struck, but the lizard was two
inches to the right The snake
started to draw back for another at
tempt, when the gila monster made a
lightning-like plunge, and the next In
slant the back of the rattler's neck
was In the bulldog Jaws Of the eigh-
teen-inch lizard, which was shaking
1t like a rat, Several times the lizard
was thrown vehemently into the air.
and as often 1t was dragged on the
dusty road, with its feet vainly at
tempting to find hold But the
Jaws held tight, and in two or three
minutes the snake lay dead on the
ground.
From Flagstaff, Ariz., comes the
story of John Gustafson, who, bitten
