FOR EASTER SHOPPERS.
There lie a Multitude Of AIluring Fab
RIGS For New Costumes.

The shops, gay with the new cotton
and silk materials for the Faster cos
TUNES. are sending forth n siren call.
and the wise woman will heed 1t and
be glad. One never feels so discour-
aged over clothes as during the first
warm days. when one must hasten n
decide upon a new costume.
After the velvet gowns of the winter
the dainty little emDraldered nets are
very appealing. and the gowns that
may be made now can be worn all sum
mer. for net frocks are sure 10 be very
much Ia mode this coming season.
Following the demand for transpar-
ent effects. these nets will be combined
with lace. and two or three varieties
of laces will be shown on the same
gown. Taffeta and the other silks are
also combined with these nets, and a
gown OF this type could be worn TO the
theater at any time.
As soft. supple fabrics like net and
taffeta lend themselves In an ideal
manner 10 fiounces and tunics. these
styles are sure TO be developed further
for the spring.
None Of the TUNES are wired. for the
threatened invasion Of the hoopskirt Is
y bogy of the past. but they take on
various shapes and draplngs. Two and
three tunics are often added. the upper
one falling TO the hips and the other TO

hind, there among the sand
dunes of the Algerian desert. were lit
tie black dots winding in and out
among the dunes. now rising to view
and again melting from sight behind
some protecting hillock Of sand.
Paul spoke sharply to his beast, and
the camel shook his homely head. gay
with %trappings of red leather and sill
yer. and without apparent exertion
rocked forward at a o amazing
rate Of speed.
Mile after mile vanished under those
broad hoofs, and each time that Paul
turned around his pursuers still held
the same distance. Although some OF
them were mounted on feet Arabian
horses. not one had apparently gained
an inch Of the race.
1t was late afternoon when Paul
sighted the blue blur that marked the
Oasis ell Dur.
The oasis was q small one, but 1t
possessed a. good well Of water, a
group of date palms and a little grass
that the camel promptly nipped away.
He looked to his weapons to see hat
they were in readiness: then, sitting
down with his back against a tree. he
watched for the coming Of his enc

Occasionally he closed his aching
eyes, but he did not dare to hold them
thus for very long. He caught him.

1t had been a long day and a wear

Paul Dunlap had left the city on the
rim of the desert with a faithful guide
who was to lead him across the Al
gerian desert to MurZuk. All Mora
had peer highly recommended by the
hotel where the American was stop
ping. and Paul had been attracted by
the alert. bright eyed young man.
On the third day out. when the desert
city was far behind. Ali Mora had sud-
denly developed a high fever and suf-
fered much pain.
Paul had searched his first aid" case
for remedies and had applied such as
he deemed would help the stricken
man. But all to no purpose.
Just at sunset the night before All
Mora had turned his face toward
Mecca and died. and at that very mo-
ment a large band Of Bedouin Arabs
came flashing up on their unshod
horses.
Their leader. a fierce eyed sheik of
commanding presence. demanded the
reason of the guides death. and when
Paul had endeavored to explain in
halting Arabic they had cut him short
and pronounced death against him.

THREE RAYS OF RADIUM.
Alpha, Beta and Gamma Each Have
Their Own Pe~cuIarities.


There are three kinds Of so called
rays having their melting origin in ra-
dunn. The three rays are known as
alpha. beta, and gamma rays. and each
of these has characteristic peculiarities.
The alpha rays have n range inside
of half an inch from their source. the
beta rays reach about three times as
far. and the gamma rays are yet more
penetrating. A thin sheet Of paper or
a film of tin foil or mica will effectual-
ly halt the alpha rays. A millimeter
of lead or FIVE millimeters Of Alumni
um will stop the further progress of
the beta rays. but the gamma rays will
go through nineteen centimeters Of iron
or seven centimeters OF lead before
their original intensity Is reduced ! per
cent.
The alpha rays consist of positively
charged atoms of helium advancing at
a velocity of 1900 miles a second, and
the beta rays are negatively charged
bodies projected at a speed Of quite
10000 miles in the same interval of
time. Roughly, the beta rays are a.
hundred times more penetrating than
the alpha rays. while the gamma rays,
in their turn, are a hundredfold as
searching as the beta rays.-Exchange.

THE NEW COUTURE.
How to Dress the Hair to Accommodate
the Easter Hat.

One new idea about Easter hats is
the they have OF showing the
hair. The change is in the back Of the
hat. 1t no longer rests down on the
neck. 1t Tits up In a rakish manner.
or the crown Is so small that the sweep
Of the hair shows from ear to ear.
1t Is well for those who are inter-
ested In the minor fashions that play
the important part I'm dress to keep
their eyes on the couture for the next
three months. 1t has changed materi-
ally In the last weeks in America. and
the change began In France at the
summer resorts last fall. Then 1t was
considered too extreme for the masses,
and Ii was. but experience. which Is
the best guide for the future, tells us
that il is the masses who always adopt
the extreme fashion of the hour.
The important deviation from the ac-
cepted coiffures is the lifting of the
hair from the back so that it appears
to be coifed I'm the style of three years
ago. 1t Is also drawn a little away
from the forehead. The next devia-
ton is in the tightening of the locks
over the ears.

STATUES IN HONOR OF POTATO
Several Have Been Erected In Both
ENGLAND and Germany.

Although America is the original
home of the potato. il Is only In Eu-
rope that monuments have been erect
ed to honor the familiar vegetable.
There are several such monuments In
Germany and England costing large
sums OF money and presenting the
work of famous sculptors. The most
elaborate is that at Offenburg. which
honors Sir Francis Drake as the first
man to introduce potatoes into Europe.
The monument consists OF an excel
lent statue of Drake. rising from an
elaborate base decorated with gar
lands Of the potato plant, with full
grown tubers. Several tablets are
placed about the base stating that
Drake first brought the potato to Eu-
rope, with various laudatory inscrip-
lions as to the value OF the potato to
civilization. A similar monument to
Drake and the potato has been erected
at Murz.
As a matter Of historic fact, Drake
had nothing whatever TO do with in
PRODUCING the potato to Europe. 1t is
generally suppoked hat Sir Walter Ra-
leigh was the dfscoverer of the potato,
and stories are told Of his appearing
on the streets Of London wearing a
buttonhole bouquet Of potato blossoms
In order to attract attention to the new
vegetable.
According to M version, the potatoes
were first planted by Drake In Ireland.
The fact is that the potato was first
taken from America by the Spanish
long before the exploration of either
Drake or Raleigh.-Pittsburgh Dis

EASTER EGGS AND PARTIES.
They Delight the Little Folks and
Make Welcome Sport.

Pretty gifts for Easter take the form
OF Easter symbols. The egg filed
with bonbons. the hare. the lily, are
sent from hand to hand. and the chill
dren are delighted with the chance
again brought to them to show their
affection for each other. for parents
and teachers.
As for lovers and s~weethearts. all
seasons are their own. and yet Faster
brings them a most welcome oppor-
tunity to signify regard in some tangi-
BILE form.
Easter parties for children where
the hiding and hunting of coiored eggs
are among the features have an I'M
ceasing charm. In Washington there
has been for many years a custom De-
loved by boys and girls of rolling Eggs
I'm the White House grounds on Easter
Monday. Little folk crowd thither to
enjoy the gay sport, and grave senator's
and statesmen and the president him
self are generally enthusiastic specta-
tors. while the air rings with the
shouts of happy children.
The old custom of coloring eggs for
the children's delight should neve be
passed over in the household. The
eggs may by the exercise Of a little
artistic skill be made very handsome
and attractive souvenirs. Dyes may

prominent American magazine, and he
could not afford to lose the money.
He had promised to deliver the first
batch of photographs not later than
the LIST Of March for the Easter edi-
ton. and now 1t was the LIST of Jan
uary. and all his labor had beer for
naught.
When the moon was high Paul
mounted his camel and rode toward
the north.
Mile after mile the sand flew from

ing beast. and at sunrise. just at tho

ulating himself that he had outdls.

against the pale desert.
1t was a motionless horseman guard.
Ing a little group of white tents pitched
In a hollow among the sand hillocks.
The sentry was an Arabian, intelliI
gent looking and with a smattering Of
the English language.
Paul explained his dilemma, and ere
he had completed his explanation the
Arab shouted wildly and pointed off to
the southwest.
Plainly visible in the early sunlight
was a scattering company of horse-
men.
Yours is a peaceful camp" said
Paul hastily. 81 will ride away and
they will not disturb you: r.
He stopped short. for the white tents
had given up their occupants-a dozen
men dressed in hastily donned khaki
and all carrying weapons, modern re-
peating rifles that made the ancient
fiintlocks of the attacking Arabs look
like foolish toys.

grizzled haired veteran, addressing the
Arab sentinel.
Paul Dunlap broke In and explained
and expressed his intention of riding
on and thus Turing the approaching
bandits away from the peaceful en-.
campment i'm the hollow.
Not on your life. young man. cried
the grizzled man. you'll stay and
night. and We'll see you through to A.
finish,"
In a few moments ammunition was
passed around and the men were all
nat on the sand. each behind a hillock.
The rifles cracked menacingly as the
came flying up, screeching a
savage w2rcry. With each rifle crack
an Arab tumbled from his saddle until
at last the scattering emnant of the
band dissolved in the shimmering heat
of the day.
And now, sir" asked Paul Of the
elderly man who appeared in charge
OF the party. twill You please tell me-
to whom l am indebted for this res

veteran-"Wayland Chester. at your
