WASHINGTON. July 6.-Sarcastic
reference to absent democrats as

PARIS, July 6-The chamber OF
deputies was today called to meet IN
session tomorrow to discuss Frances
in the San Francisco ex-
position Of 1915. A COMMITTEES report
today favored q government appropri,
alton and FORMAL cooperation. This
was distributed among the deputies.
The belief was general that the report
would be adopted.
French newspapers are urging
tradesmen to reconsider their an
nounced opposition to the fair. They
say If the fair is boycotted 1t woula
be case of France cutting on her
nose to spite her face and that 1t
would show the French people desired
to retaliate against the United States
by discrimination by mix up over
the new tariff law. Some otner
scheme would be better, as non-parti-
san participation would only certain
ly prove boomerang.

IN THE FLAMES OF THE PYRE
Disposal Of Brahmtn Dead q Matter OF
Infinite Pathos to the Relatives
Who Watch Rites.

Even as we came opposite, the bear
ers lifted one Of them, all cool and
dripping, from the river, and laid
it, the slim, small figure. SO quietly,
so content, on half-built pyre.
Brushwood and fagots were built over
it, and at head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman d.
rected the rites. and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment, at the top Of the pyre, a
girls face, with closed eyes, and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of flame shrouded it again.
The smoke rose in gray whorls and
streamers against the stainless and
tender blue OF the sky, and still the
brother watched, quiet again and COM
posed; he had given only that one
sign to show that he loved her whose
ashes now lay among the charred
and smouldering logs. Or rather 1t
was only for the moment that, think
ing of days of childhood and dawns
by the riverside, he forgot that 1t was
not she who had been consumed In
the flames Of the pyre. Then he re-
membered again, and looking up from
the pyre to the dazzling river. he saw
there on our boat his friend, the Brah-
man, and smiled to him.-From THE

Probable Duration Of Sun.

Adopting the well-known hypothesis
of Helmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. If one
gives to the sun a co-efflcient OF ex-
pansion intermediate between that OF
mercury and that of gas, one arrives
at the conclusion that it has taken
one million to three million years
for the sun to contract to its present
radius; in particular. it would have
taken ten thousand years to contract
from infinity to radius twice its
present radius. Finally, the sun will
take 200,000,000 years to contract
from it's present radius to half that
radius, and even then its temperature
at the surface will be 1900 degrees

SPORT OF SOUTH AMERICA
Water CarnIvals Made Occasion OF En-.
Joyment Among All Glasses
Of People.

In certain countries or South Amer
lea, notably Peru, there are held from
time to time curious water carnivals,
when water is showered from house
tops and other elevated spots with
strange abandon. All classes Of peo-
pie indulge In the festivities. Just
what is the origin Of these carnivals is
not known, but it is supposed that
they represent a general revolt against
the parsimony Of nature in withhold
ing water for so long a period OF the
year. ..,gr,,-,.
During the progress OF such car
nival in Callao no one in the street Is
safe against showers from roofs, bal
comics and doorways. In Lima, cross
ing the Cathedral plaza, the unwary
pedestrian is given good shower. BY
late in the afternoon the water frolic
has assumed such proportions that
even those in carriages are doused.
The streets, from sidewalk to side
walk, are completely drenched. While
hundreds Of men, women and children
are showered during the course OF the
day. none shows resentment, but all
accept the dousing in true holiday
spirit.
In addition to the crude weapons of
this water warfare-dippers, pals and
pitchers-there are the more refined
implements known as chlsguetes.
These are toys whereby jets OF water
can be thrown directly into the face
Of a passerby. Those armed with these
A. h0Sr
batteries upon any one at hand. OFTEN
the stream thus projected will be col
pred with harmless pigment, with
the purpose of imparting to the duck

TAFFETAS VIE FOR FAVOR WITH SHEER
STUFFS IN DANCE FROCkS

Plain and lowered taffetas are much
used for dance frocks; on the plain
dresses artificial flowers are used for
trimmings, catching up the panniers,
tackled to the shoulder and at the throat
1t is pleasing and becoming idea. The
popularity of taffetas for these frocks
does not say that chiffon, silk wolfe and
the other sheer fabrics have lost favor
at all; they are quite as much in evi.
dence as ever.
