our Canadian friends do not seem to

their rather frank declaration that
they do not want a German prince to

WASHINGTON, May 21.-With the
return OF II. Roosevelt TO these parts
and the consequent revival of various
forms of political speculation, one is
reminded of the story about the
Nearest That Bryan Ever Came to
Being Elected.
According TO this story. which goes
the rounds in Washington every so
often. William Jennings Bryan might
have been elected president when he
ran against William Howard Taft
except for one man, and that man
was James ]. Hill.
IL will be remembered that along
about Labor day of that year the
strength of the Taft candidacy was
at its lowest ebb. and those persons
who make a business of figuring out
political forecasts were certain that
Bryan had at least an even chance. on
top of that 1t was whispered that Ger
tain interests that were VeXed with
Mr. Roosevelt for naming his own
successor were determined to get
even. I'm order to chastise Mr.. Roose-
welt they were going TO see 10 it that
his candidate. Mr.. Taft. was thorough
ly defeated. The interest that plan
ned 10 do all this is said TO have been
Standard oil.
They. of course. cared less than
the irredurable minimum about Mr..
Bryan, but they at least had no per-
sOnal Crude against him. as they did
against Roosevelt. and they thought
il would be a highly amusing little
trick to pour a lot of money into the
Bryan campaign fund and completely
gum up Roosevelt's plans.
1t is conceded that with the two
candidates having about equal chances
of election. a food of money behind
either nominee would have turned
the tide in his favor.
Things were at that stage, if one
accepts the story. when James J. Hill.

heard of the state OF affairs. He no
sooner heard about il than he leaped
aboard a train and set out for New
York 10 head off the Standard oil Co
from its course. He felt that il Was
up 10 some cool head 10 dissuade
them from doing anything foolish
FOR Hill was certain that If Bryan
were elected there would be no tell
ing what awful thing might happen.
Now il may be that there is no
proper foundation for this story that

London, Sept. 6.

Lonuon, sept. b. TT is difficult, indeed. for me to
 write of fashions with the war ! horror breeding over all Europe now. Paris is no longer the centre of fashion-it is a place where sor- row and patriotic hope alternate and nothing is thought of except the men who go out to battle, the men who do not return and the preservation of France
 There will be no models shown in Paris this year!
 Before the shock came that threw ali life here out of its accustomed grooves it was apparent that this was to be velvet season. The vel vet was to be of richest Lyons weave, combined with softest chif- ions. It was to have been a costly fashion year in Paris. In colors black was to predominate-a bit of saddening prophecy. There was to have been g great deal, too, of navy blue, bottle green and tete de negre. As an aftermath to the one shade scheme; which was to have been at first the most fashior able, there was to follow such striking contrasts as, for instance, a good corsage of real rouge chiffon velvet colored and bor- dered with black fox and a skirt of black velvet
 As material for evening wraps, too, velvet will again be to the fore, and in such cases, of course, the more brilliant colorings will be used to splendid effect, and their general "sumptuousness" further increased by >broideries of gold or silver and broad borderings of fur.
 Then, again, there was to have been-and will be--available for the making of evening gowns, ninons brocaded with velvet roses and leaves, or else perhaps patterned with Sereny velvet guimpes. which are broken into at intervals by a tri-colored shamrock leaf or cluster of tiny rosebuds, sheltering within a circlet of leaves sapphire blue, petunia and green being one typical triple alliance of colors.
 But even apart from their freuuent use as mere background for this dominant and decorative velvet, the 'iiHOho diC suns lO Adf0 d SVtCldl success on their own accolint. Tn many cases they are weighted by heavy metallic designs; tall taper ing leaves of silver showing out against blue as intense as a tropi- cal sea under the monday sun. whi,e on another blur of blossoms in blue and rose and flame and green makes background for other flowers all wrought in gold and lends new and ever changing beauty of shading to their shining petals.
 It would seem, too, that the new frosted" effects are going to be very popular, and certainly they are very light and pretty, as we'll as mover. Twisted threads of silver or gold tinsel are used for these de- signs, which are either broidered or plain ninon, or pattern printed in many soft shadowy colorings on an old ecru ground. It has been more difficult than you can know for me to write this.

Having at our disposition the living plastic creature and the great modelling force it necessary to detail the conditions in which the latter upon the former? The two esental qualities both necessary and +sa sufficient to n obtain fish with plastic nature that it has the density the water All the fish properly formed weigh, we may say, volume for volume much the water, sometimes little more, sometimes little less.
 Those creatures which are still heavier, and at the same time less rapid not modelled in the fish at al but into annelids and crustaceans Other lures still heavier and at the same time still slower become molluscs, and others that do not at all fix themselves the rocks bury themselves in the bottom and are modelled accordingly
 This explains how it is that although the resist ance of the water is always the it does al- ways produce the effects nor act in the same manner, and for this all the aquatic creatures though equally plastic, but being of different weights and of different speed are not at all like each other This being well understood, it is easy how the water may model plastic creature that is rapid and as the equal volume of water. How, then to experiment to obtain the conditions under which the fish swim?

TUNING-FORK AIDS PHYSICIAN
Valuable Discovery That 1t Is Believed
VIII Be of Much Benefit in the
Treatment of Patients.

The tuniHg-fork is the latest marvel
OF medicine. DR.. James Camille, a
British doctor who learned many
strange clinical secrets during his ad-
ventures in China, and who is today
one of our greatest experimentalists in
the field of tropical medicine, has dis
covered that the tuning-fork can prove
of great help to physicians. By vibrat-
ing O. tuni0g-fork and moving it about
against the body, the density of the or
gans situated beneath can be gauged
almost to hairs breadth.
The fork used gives out the note of
c sharp; it has a specially designed
striker attachments, so that it need not
be removed from its position for the
purpose of revibrating.
Doctor Camille in certain cases COM
pared the results of his tuning-fork
method with those obtained by means
of X-rays. and found that the former
were absolutely accurate. He believes
that the method will be very useful

possible without any attempt at indi-
yidual ornamentation. The front yard
is usually bare of grass and there Is
broken board walk at the side. Gen
orally such houses are boxed In with
some kind of wooden fence that
shows signs of weather wear and the
dilapidated breakage caused by chill
dren at play
A neat design like this costs very
little more, but what difference in
appearance. The shape of the roof
and the corresponding roof over the
front porch with the proper placing of
windows make the difference in the
outside appearance. The colors used
in painting of course have good deal
to do with the final finish. A good
combination of light shade of paint for
the body with darker trimmings care
fully chosen to properly match show to
great advantage in the finish of one
of these houses.
It costs little more when building
a porch roof to give it so much projec-

Dance Has Had Various Names.

Speculations on the correct spelling
and pronunciation of tango as dance
recall the fact that there were similar
doubts about the waltz, which, when
introduced just a century ago, was
scolded in terms very similar to those
now applied to the tango. Waltz has
had many different spellings. Its
first form was as "lavolta" in old
Provence. Henry II. of France was
fond OF a dauce which was really
development OF lavolta and an early
form of the waltz. 1t was then called
volta Castil Blaze remarks that
"the waltz, which we took again from
the Germans in 1875, had been
French dance for 400 years." When
it went to Germany it acquired its
usual name of waltz" but it is still
quite common to find it on programs
under the French form of valse.

houses that cost very little more to
rent for double that amount simply
because they were built attractively
and contained modern means of heat
ing and with plumbing connections so
the different members of the family
could keep themselves clean.
A great deal depends on the plan
as well as the convenience and the
outside appearance. It is an art that
seems difficult to acquire, the building
of small artistic, comfortable houses,
but it is an art well worth studying.
Such houses should be great deal
more common than they are. It would
prevent families who like to live nicely
from crowding into fiat buildings

thing out of the ordinary or when the

Every house should be built with
