not.

The fact that Europe is absorbed in a

VETERAN INVENTOR PREDICTS CROSSING OF OCEAN IN
 THIRTEEN HOURS

The possibility of a transatlantic ocean flight in heavier than air ma chine in thirteen hours is pointed out in a communication to the National Geographic society at Washington, D. C., from Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and former president of the society.
 "The distance from Newfoundland to Ireland is less than 2OOO miles" says Dr. Bell. "This means that if you go at 100 miles an hour you will cross the Atlantic in 20 hours-less than a day. We have flying machines that go a greater rate of speed than that We already have machines that could cross the ocean if their engines can keep going for 20 hours. Of course, these are exceptional machines, but even the ordinarmy machines of today make fifty miles an hour with ease.
 Now, flying machine flies faster as you go higher up, because the rarer air offers less resistance to the motion, while the propeller gives the same push with the same power, whatever the elevation. AS you get into the rarer air the propeller spins around faster. A fifty mile an hour machine flying two miles high in the air-ans we have machines that have gone al most twice as high as that-will fly much faster than fifty miles an hour Then at an elevation of two miles in the air there is constant wind blowing in the general direction of Europe hay ing a velocity anywhere from 25 to 50 miles an hour.
 AS net result of all these things there can be little doubt that any or dinary machine that is able to support itself in the air at an elevation of two miles high will attain a speed of at east 100 miles an hour in the direction of Europe, and that means going from America to Europe in single day.
 Calculation shows that, taking all these circumstances into consideration, our best machines should be able to cross the Atlantic in 8 hours I hard ly dare say it aloud for publication It is sufficiently startling to know that 1t is not only possible, but probable, that the passage may be made in sin gle day. But, if, as imagine, it can be done in 13 hours, you may take an early breakfast in Newfoundland and a late dinner in Ireland the same night"

HUMAN NATURE DOES NOT
 CHANGE

While the ancient Egyptians possess ed no newspapers, an interesting chronicle of the small happenings of their daily life is exposed in the papy- rean writings soon to be exhibited by the London Society of Antiquaries.
 That human nature has not changed very much with passing ages, is shown by an order for an inquest into the death of a slave killed by fall from a roof on which he had crawled out to obtain a close view of some dancing girls. Announcements of horse racing and other athletic sports and a com plalnt by a wife against surly hus- band who refused to give her the house keys, are other items in the papyri. One notice tells of a certain Platonic philosopher who was privi- liged to receive meals free at the Alexandria library. The purpose of the exhibition is to raise funds for fur ther explorations in the upper reaches of the Nile.

 appearing with smaller armholes. A strong tendency exists towards en- bellishing seams in some way For instance, sleeves are put in with a cording around the armhole or narrow lace or beading is used. This is a very pretty way of making a simple waist attractive.
 From all sides we hear rumors of wider skirts and yet when we examine the models we find the largeneSs con- sists in large quantity of material in draperies, in flounces or tunics, while the underskirt or foundation remains as narrow or narrower than ever The tendency of the tunics is to widen out, measuring about 21a to yards in width. with the fullness gathered in at the waist. This style is practical to develop in sheer and summery and later possibly for the development of the heavier fabrics.
 The tremendous popularity of lace is evidenced in the wraps and gowns displayed of these materials for mid summer. Long tunics of lace are worn over underskirts of satin, taffeta and chiffon. Coats and capes of lace have superseded those of chiffon and taf- feta. Skirts are made with ruffles of lace from hip to hem.

Among the most popular of the laces are, first and foremost, Chantilly, then maline, sha- dow and filet lace. The old Spanish patterns are being revived in borders on net foundations.
