summer Hats Of ShaNinns.

Many OF the handsomest summer
hats worn by women all over the
country are made OF shavings.
II seems that Japan is a thriving
center for this shaving industry and
wooden ribbon of this sort appears in
various forms, some presenting a sat
my finish and others resembling silks
and crepes.
About twenty per cent is sent here
in the snaps of wooden ribbons, while
the rest is worked up into the familiar
chip brand
Some years Japan sends 100000
of this material into this country. II
appears that the American women
like the product better than Euro

easily dyed and is so thin and flexible
that exquisite effects can be pro
duced.

When Ex-President Taft Was Married

1t was formerly a pleasant custom
of society reporters to indulge in pre-
dictions as to the glorious future of
the happy pair.A journalistic prophet
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
in writing of the wedding of Miss
Helen l.. Heron, daughter of John
w. Heron to William Howard Taft,
which occurred twenty-seven years
ago, had this to say:
William II. Taft is one OF the
young men of the city who may be

one of the highest standing Of the
graduates of Yale. and his original

Moving Pictures of Aurora eoreaIis.

Moving Pictures of Aurora Rorealis.
A new camera for photographing the
aurora borealis has just been con.
structed for Prof. Carl Stormer of the
Christiania university. The apparatus
will be used to measure the relative
brightness of the northern lights at
different periods, and to enable a cine
matograph reproduction of the phe
nomenon to be made afterwards. The
pictures are to be taken at night, and
will consequently require a long ex
posture. which will extend from two
and half to eight minutes each. II
is expected that the results will prove
of the greatest scientific value.
