NJ DROPPED ON PARIS
Germans Make Sensational Raid on
French Town-cathedrai Of Notrs
Dame In Danger.

Paris.-The Germans made q most
sensational raid with their Taube aero
planes on Paris. Two Of the kaiser's
air machines swept out OF the north
east and began raining bombs upon
Paris. Twenty bombs are reported to
have been dropped. One Of the first
bombs fell near the Cathedral OF Notre
Dame, while the edifice was filled with
suppliants at high mass, causing a
panic, but no real damage. Another
fell into the courtyard of the cathedral
at the bishops door.

London.-Antwerp and the forts
surrounding the city are in complete
possession of the Germans, but the
greater part Of the Belgian army has
escaped.
1t took the Germans just II days to
capture the strongest fortress in the
world.
The fall of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful forts are no
match for the colossal howitzers the
invaders have successfully employed
against every fortified place that stood
in their way. These huge guns open
gaps through which the ~besiegera find
an entrance for their field artillery and
infantry.
The Germans, after Smelling the city
itself for many hours, making 1t un'
tenable, entered the town through the
suburb of Berchem, to the east: They
had made a breach in the outer line
of forts, some of which were destroyed
by their big guns and others blown up
by the defenders. The Germans fol'
lowed similar plans in dealing with the
inner belt of forts and at the same
time threw shells into the city, which
set Attire many places.
, The inner forts, like those further
out, soon succumbed to the enormous
shells.
The death roll, resulting from the
attack on the defense OF Antwerp, has
not been compiled and probably the
full details never will be known, pus
all accounts describe it as being terri
bly, heavy. The Germans, although
their big guns cleared a path for them
had to sacrifice many lives in crossing
the rivers and canals and In driving
out the defenders, who held the en-
trenchments until the last.

One Hundred Years AGO.

The curious modes which women af-
feet now began as far back as 1898,
which is a period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
in vogue at that time, and had many
exponents, who danced in loose bod
ices opening in V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist Skirts
were slit and were often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached It.
self, and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc

means of transmitting light instead of
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de-
vised by an engineer of Hamburg, W..
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates of marble no more than three
millimetres in thickness and for the
use designated it is available up to
90 millimeters thick The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real
lied some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of the passage Of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time i'm

TROPHY BELONGED TO DOG
Little Animal That Had Boldly
Attacked Lion.

Simba, a plucky fox terrier, born
and raised in London, is the only dog
of its breed which has ever tackled
full-grown lion 'single-handed."
The story of how Simba fought the
lion is told by the dogs owner, Cher
ry Keaton, who went to British East
Africa for the purpose of obtaining
moving pictures of wild animals. Now,
Simba is an ordinary fox terrier, Of
no special value from a breeders
point of view. Its fight with the lion
occurred while Mr.. Keaton was trying
to obtain pictures of the killing of a
lion by native spearmen. Two lions
had been located in some scrubs, and
20 Nasal warriors, with spears, were
ready to attack. The lioness, however,
pearing for moment, bolted into a
dried river bed and refused to bulge.
"Simba," states Mr.. Keaton, "darted
into the donga, and within few. sec
onds we heard tremendous roar that
seemed to shake the ground, and the
bushes within IL yards of us were vio-
lently agitated. The lion roared
again and again, and in the brief in
tervals we heard the weak but very
furious yapping of the dog. The
Nasal stool, every nerve tingling, with
spears poised.
Suddenly the lion dashed through
little clearing, and we were amazed to
see Simba hanging on with her teeth
embedded in it's tail. Three spears
were hurled at the escaping beast with
such accuracy that they all transixed
the heart, and the lion fell dead. You
must know that the skin of the lion
belongs, according to local custom, not
to the warrior whose spear inflicts the
fatal wounds, but to the man who first
rushes in and cuts of the black tip
from the tail.
1.-TWO Of the three spearsmen dashed
into the donga, but they found Simba
with the black tip still between her
teeth, resolutely determined to oppose
any hostile claim. The worriors, who
were lost in admiration, agreed that
the skin belonged by right of seizure
to Simba, and they handed it over
later to my wife as trustee for the
dog"
