Find Something New,

In 1644 the possibilities of the sub
marine were first propounded, while
from the very earliest times men have
conceived the idea Of flying with wings
like birds. There is no reason what
ever to doubt the fact that Archytas
of Tarentum, about 39I years before
the Christian era, constructed an au-
tomaton pigeon that would fly. Turn
ing to other latter day inventions. as
they are generally regarded, 1t might
be mentioned that switchback railways
were constructed more than hundred
years ago. and looping the loop was a
sensation In Paris in 1888, while roller
skating. which came up as a new in
vention about forty years ago, was
being INDUCED In by our forefathers
as far back as 1920.

The coat of the season is cut in
variety of ways, each of which has some
particular style feature to make it prae-
teal or smart. One is cut much like
the last winters raglan coat, merely
belted little closer to the figure so
that the curve of the waist NAV be
more in evidence. Or this same coat
may have a tiny round yoke with a col
lar and the full godet ripples pressed
into pleats, which open out at every
movement of the figure.
Another type of coat is that which is
semi-tight fitting at the shoulders and
flares widely at the bottom, in the
shape of a Cossack coat. Another is
distinctly of the Russian peasant style,
buttoning at the side and belted with
wide belt. Around the bottom of the
skirt portion is wide band of fur, also
at wrists and around the neck The
heavy richness of this trimming is most
effective.
Another coat is cut 18th the upper
portion like a saeque, having straight
lines under the arms and dropping
down considerably in the back. A far

was general feeling of uneasiness
among the foreign-born depositors
since the closing OF the Kass hanks.
Crowds began TO form in line at 2
o'clock this morning outside the two
institutions which bore the brunt of
to-day's run.
The crowds seemed to augment as
banks early in the forenoon adopted
the policy of paying tepositors 500
each and telling them to retarn in a
week for the remainder. The 500 was
peid in silver dollars in each ease.
This was the twelfth run in twenty
years experienced by one of the
banks.
