Robbers In Europe Who Dress Like
Grand opera Ballet Girls.
There are places 10 the world where
women dress In mems clothing and
men don wouen's apparel.
Even In Paris there are women
dressed In cheap. coarse. masculine
attire, working as teamsters and day
laborers. While It is against the law,
the police wink at the fact and allow
them to earn peaceabiy their daily
wages
In Persia In some OF the interior
parts the women wear the strangest.
Dddest trouser garments. They seem

they cling to them in spite Of all e.

Then there are the Alpine dairy
maids. who dress as men when they
go about their work and look pretty.
IL we are inclined TO take evidence
from the numbers of men who yearly
persuade them to cast on their mascu-
line dress and, put on more clinging
costumes But then their eyes are 20
bright and their cheeks so red that
they couldn't really look homely In
anything they might choose to wear.
Again, far In the north. where &c -
freezing cold most of the time and
people dress to be comfortable and not
to look pretty. the women are actually
forced into trousers to keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always
wore TROUSERS. But their reasons were
purely military Besides, they were
half masculine In manner and appear
ance and dressed to accentuate their
qualities They had to make them
selves into fierce looking creatures to
terrify the men on the opposing side,
and from all accounts they succeeded
admirably.
AS for the stronger sex. there still
seem to be men in existence who wear
women's garb and enjoy It. In certain
parts of Greece. Spain ana Albania
there are bands Of desperate brigands

DISAPPEARING GUNS.


Ease With Which These Coast Defense
Monsters Are Operated.
Three kinds Of big guns are used ON
the coasts to defend us from hostile
invaders. When gun Is fired over
an embankment or parapet 1t Is called
a barbette The earliest guns were OF
this order The parapets were notch
ed SO that the firing could be done
over their top. When the gun is dis
charged through port OF hole ih the
embankment 1t Is called a. casemate.
The newest kind Of heavy artillery Il
the disappearing gun. which drops
back behind its wall as soon as it 10
discharged
The man who aims the gun has q
little platform to one side Of the ma
chine. Things are arranged so that he
can control all operations Of the gun
from where he stands. Electricity is
used for bringing the gun up and get
ting it into position. and all the mech.
anism can be regulated By the gun
ner. So wonderfully is the big machine
under control that 1t cannot be fred
by any person whomsoever unless it IL
raised up and in firing position. When
it Is not In tiring position It il called
''out Of battery.
So nicely is the gun mounted that all
its great mass can be handled by two
men. From the time they start load
ing it until the gun Is mounted and
ready to IRE only six seconds inter
vene. One of the big guns can dis
charge thousand pound projectile
