BIG REALTY DEAL AT CAPITAL
Famous Building In Capital
City Leased.

A large realty transaction was con-
firmed a few days ago, which Is Of
great interest to the residents OF
Washington and the country at large.
One of the oldest and probably the
most famous of all buildings in the
capital city has been leased for term
of four years at a total rental of about
$1,OOO,0OO 1t is understood that the
privilege of renewal is a part of the
lease at about the same consideration
as paid for the use of the property for
the next four years, subject to some
restrictions The person who has
will occupy it as a residence, and
took occupancy on March A.
The property is situated on Pennsyl-
vania avenue at Sixteenth street. ex-
tending south, and contains large
grounds, both in front and In the
rear of the house. The residence is
constructed in Virginia freestone, Is
ITO feet in length, Sc feet in depth,
and consists of rustic basement, two
lofty stories, and an attic, the whole
surmounted by an ornamental balus-
trade. The north front has a por-
tico OF lofty Ionic columns, forming a
porte-ochere, and the south a colon
naded balcony.
The property is commonly known as
the White House and the lessee Is
Woodrow Wilson, former governor of
New Jersey and ex-president Of Prince
ton university. The lessons of the
property are the people of the United
States, who own 1t and who indirectly
received about $1,000000 as rental
for the four years. The agent act
ing for Mr.. Wilson was the national
Democratic realty committee and for
the people the quadrennial joint con-
vention of the house and the senate
of the United States, who confirmed
the transaction, after making a count
of the votes cast by the electoral rep
resentatives of the people. The peo-
pie granted the lease almost unani-
mously, 435 electoral votes out of 531
Being cast in favor of Mr.. Wilson as
tenant in preference to w. III. Taft,
Theodore Roosevelt, and others who
were bidding for the property.
The White House was the first pub
lie building erected at the new seat of
government, and was first occupied by
John Adams in November, 1900.

Extraordinarily Tight Garments Soon
to Be Decidedly Out of the Realm
of Fashion.

The most graceful frocks are those
in which they use no straight lines,
but Hanging draperies," as the artist
describes them, and the newest of new
fashions show that all "tightness" is
to be banned. Evening frocks will
perhaps remain tight round the an
kles, but our modistes may yet allow
one a little more freedom. Tight"
skirts have had their day, and very
long day, too.
One writer, discussing the question.
puts it very neatly in pointing out
that "the only way out of the difficult
ty is to give the necessary freedom to
the skirts to the extent of some ten
or twelve inches, and thus allowing
the wearer to avoid those mincing lit
tie steps which can never be anything
but ridiculously ungraceful.
A novelty in camisoles has made its
appearance. 1t has been introduced
specially to wear under the filmy cor
sage worn with all smart toilets for
the daytime and evening and is made
of net with broad band of ribbon
round the body, tied in large bow at
the side or in the center of the front.
AS a matter of fact, it is quite as
pretty as blouse, and so makes a
splendid foundation for fragile cor
sage.

Dust Always In Air.

There is no such thing as dustless
air. No matter what precautions are
taken, particles of dust will always
be found in the atmosphere. even in
Theoretically sealed room. There
are very rarely less than 100 particles
of dust in a cubic centimeter OF air,
and, in big cities, there are sometimes
as many as 10000 in that exceeding
ly small space.
Dust has no special color, since 1t is
composed of all sorts of things-par-
ticles of coal and other minerals,
grains of sand blown from the earth's
surface, pollen, and other forms OF
vegetable matter, etc. The reason IT
looks black against white surface
and vice versa is that the particles
that are visible against a dark sur
face are naturally the light ones.
whereas when dust settles on light
surface, the dark particles catch the
eve.

BOOKS FOR BOY PRISONERS
No Ball and Chain These Days, but
Character of Reading Matter
Is Questioned.

Prisoners are cared for SO much
better than they used to be. They no
longer have to sit with a ball and
chain on their legs, eating bread and
water, or taking rs years to carve
their message on the pillars of dank
and darkened dungeon with rusty
nail smuggled in by trusty confed-
crate who swims the moat beyond
the castle walls. No, indeed. They
have up-to-date methods. They even
give 'em books to read.
You can prove that by going up to
the Juvenile court, where the room In
which children are sometimes con-
fined is furnished with wooden
bench. There is book there for the
juvenile prisoners to regale their lit
erary tastes. You can imagine the
feelings of the half-scared newsie
locked up in that room. reading That
Book.

Tam O'Shanter Hat Has All Its Old
Popularity, but Many Must Not
Wear 1t.

Probably the most popular spring
hats for the young girl and youthful
matron will be the Tam o'Shanter.
1t has been worming itself into the
good graces of femininity all through
the winter.
The athletic will wear it in knitted
wool, or very light peanut straw, and
the grille girl will dope it up with
roses as pink as her cheeks, and some
of them will even place lace frill
on the inside to fall over their faces,
and shade the sparkle of their eyes.
There never was hat made that
could be more rakish, or coquettish
than a Tam o'Shanter. But under no
condition can it be dignified; there
fore. women over 30,' beware!
The Tam reflects the mood of every
girl who wears it, and if it becomes
as popular as fashion designos seem
to think it will, you won't have to
look into your sweetheart's eyes,
young man, to find out if she loves
you. You will only have to tip off
the angle at which she wears her Tam
o'Shanter.

Latest In Astronomy.

Now let us examine the See theory.
which the professor supports by much
mathematical and observational data
too technical to be rehearsed here.
This is the exact opposite of La
places scheme, says Leslie's Weekly.
Professor See holds, indeed. that the
polar system was formed from
spiral nebula, but that instead OF the
planets having been detached from
the sun by rotation they have been
captured and added on from the outer
narts of the nebula. All the satellites
likewise have been captured by their
several planets, and not one of them
detached by rotation from the cen
trail bodies. This Doctor See calls the
capture theory. The moon, likewise,
he says, was originally a planet. but,
nearing the earth. was captured and
made satellite. This is in direct
contradiction to the previous mos.

the moon, held by DR.. George Darwin.

ditions to plumage; their long, hard
fibers, curling at the ends, appear
among the beautiful, soft feathers Of
the bird of paradise.
Besides these odd ornaments there
is great liking for the queer plumage
called humidi. 1t is long and strag-
Cling and dyed into many colorings
and shadings. The original color, in a
dark taupe, is very rich. 1t combines
with coque de roche with fine effect.
There is a great demand for 1t, which
promises to become greater. Its price
is soaring. But in a season when
flowers are as we'll liked as feathers
and when every day brings out some
novelty of note, it is not safe to pre-
dict that any one item will outshine
all the others.

roof which covers the twenty-five
stone seats is open in the middle,
making this rest an open court save
for the boughs of tall ailanthus and
catalpa trees that spread above 1t.
One side of this grotto opens into a
dim and rocky cavern, where shadows
linger, ferns grow and water splashes
from hidden city water main. Many
spring and summer courtships have
flourished there; many lovers have
sighed there.
Thirty years ago this motto was one
of the wonder places of Washington.
The newspapers had articles about 1t
and Washingtonians came by all the
horse car lines from the most distant
parts of the city for the pleasure of
inspecting this beauty spot. The
grotto!" Why. even the name of the
thing was new in Washington! 1t had
an alluring sound, suggestive OF ro-
nance and all that. 1t was one OF the
marvels which under the Olmsted
plans had been put in the capitol
grounds.
1t is question whether this pic
turesque recess has fulfilled the hopes
of its designers. Really, not great
many persons rest there in summer.
because comparatively few persons
walking through the capitol grounds
pass that way 1t is off the usual
track of foot-pilgrims. Nor Is 1t Gov
cred inside and out with ivy, as its
projectors said 1t would be. Ivy
grows around it. but the vines that
produce most of the summer shade
are moonvines that die after the first
blighting frost.
The grotto was built in 1SS1-S2. F.
H. Cobb engineer in charge OF the i'm
provement of the capitol grounds, in
accordance with the Olmsted plans.
said in his report, October l, 1881:
There has been SO much COM
plant from the want of resting
place for those who walk from the
bottom of the hill to the landing that
to meet this want structure is now
being erected designed to combine
both drinking fountain and secluded
cool retreat"
Mr.. Olmsted in justifying the idea
leading up to the building Of this
grotto had written:
"The use of ordinary park seats,
either movable or fixed, will be better
avoided in these grounds, for reasons
of taste and propriety as well as the
disorder and nuisance to which they
would lead. If it should be attempted
to do without any resting place, how
ever, the inconvenience that would re-
suit would probably lead to the adop-
ton of some unsuitable expedient-
Hence it has been thought better to
introduce special arrangements de-
signed with all practicable precautions
against abuse. The summer house in
question will provide for persons pass
ing through the northwest grounds a
cool and shady place in which a few
minutes rest can be taken without in
terruption to the walks or breaking
the leading lines of view.
"It is intended to provide drink
ing fountain about which a number of
persons may stand without obstruct-
ing the walks, and. lastly, incidentally
to the above purposes, to secure con-
ditions favorable to certain types of
beauty in vegetation"

Columbus, Ohio, March 27-Believ-
ing the entire city of Dayton is now
doomed by fire, Vice Mayor Huber
sent an appeal to every city in the
state begging for dynamite with which
to level buildings. Piqua reports thaC
the entire city is ablaze.
Fifty thousand persons, starving
and marooned in buildings around
which ten to seventeen feet of water
rushes with such swiftness a horse
cannot live in it faced death by fire.
The Beckel House. with 200 on the
roof, was burned. Boats could not get
within mile of the place.
Tho flames were raging at midnight
near the Telephone Exchange, where
girls were marooned.
More than 100000 people - one
twelfth the population of two of the
richest states in the Union are
homeless, many of them famished, in
Ohio and Indiana.
The toll of dead in Ohio alone is,
according to the lowest estimate,
1926; in Indiana, 545.
Reports received from hour to hour
indicate that these figures will PROB
ably be considerably increased when
the last roll OF the lost is made up.
But the actual dead will never he
known.
The property loss is roughly fig
ured at $100,000,000. The destitution
of the thousands of homeless surviv-
ors, their nerves shattered by harrow
ing scenes and hairbreadth escapes
from death by fire or flood is appall-
ing, saddening.
Herculean efforts are being made to
relieve distress; troops and food and
clothing are being rushed to the
stricken districts, but the field of de-
vastation is so wide that many more
will perish before succor can reach
them.
When the floating fire came bear
ing down upon the flooded streets,
hundreds jumped from roof to roof TO
avoid death. Many escaped, but many
slipped, fell and were burned up be-
fore the eyes of the survivors. 9th
ers were cut off and consumed, caught
in a trap between the twin terrors of
this awful day.
Snow and chilling frost have fol-
lowed the rains and will doubtless aid
in auelling the epidemic of flames.
but the bitter cold means death to
those who are left without food or
shelter. Thousands are exposed to
this new peril.
Torrents Scope Grows.
Indianapolis, March 27.-The disas-
trous flood that has spread death, de-
struction and famine throughout the
entire Middle West for three days con-
tinues it's devastating course. The
death list, according to the latest to-
tails, will reach nearly 1000. The dam
age in Ohio and Indiana alone will be
$1OO,OOO,O0O.
The number of dead in Dayton is
estimated at $500 and the list is grow
ing. The business district is in
flames The water is twenty to forty
feet deep and high waves beat back
all attempts to rescue marooned resi-
dents.
The entire government machinery
has been set in force to rush relief to
the stricken districts. A million ra-
tions and tents for 10000 persons have
been put on the way by the War De-
partment and President Wilson has is
sued an appeal to the nation to con-
tribute aid.
