Shape of the Earth.

On the earth and on Mars the oceans
dominate the austral hemisphere. This
fact may be attributed to the transla-

north direction across the primitive
nebula. The rotation so set up would
result in the production of cold cur
rents which might cause the tempera-
ture to become inferior to 364 degrees.

the currents would be such as to cause
the condensation of the oceans to be
produced round the south pole, and to
determine that the direction of the
currents should be toward the equator.

austral continents. The theoretical
calculation of the velocities of these
currents and the amount of solid mat
ter transported by them is verified by
direct measurement. Thus, 1000

HAS NOVEL USE FOR RUBBER
Italian Surgeon Has Brought About
Perfect Fusion Of That Sub
stance and Human Tissue.

Rubber has many uses, even to re-
pairing the human body externally.
The great Italian surgeon Fieschi
conceived the idea of using porous
rubber in the form of fine sponge,
counting upon the affinity between
it and human tissue to bring about
perfect fusion.
Doctor Fieschi called this "nuova
carne," or new flesh" He expert
mented with it upon animals before
he tried it on his patients. He in
serted bits of sterilized rubber sponge
in various parts of the bodies of dogs
and rabbits and found that in very
short time they were not only en-,
vcloped, but thoroughly penetrated
by granular tissue without any in
flammation. suppuration or other i'll
effects.
Having thus proved it's value, Doc
tor Fieschi used the porous rubber in
healing two large wounds resulting
from the reduction of hernias. He
inserted it where it would be most
efficacious in strengthening the mus
cular walls that retain the internal
organs. The wounds healed without
complication.
A year after the operation an X-ray
examination revealed the rubber still
in place and apparently become an
integral part Of the tissues.

row., are allowed it by way of adorn
ment.
No one can fathom the idea of the
designer in making, to go with 30
practical a jacket, a skirt so entirely
unsuited to hunting. The proper skirt
is to be cut much shorter, extending
not below the calf of the leg, or at
most to the top of high hunting shoes.
1t is to fit smoothly about the waist and
hips and flare toward the bottom. 1t
should be finished with machine
stitched hem and provided with few
weights. Skirts of this kind are worn
over dark-colored bloomers and with
the plainest of soft shirtwaists, in
brown linen or other strong fabric.
The cap is very good model, with
a vizor Of which there is only
glimpse in the picture. Such caps are
made of velours, chinchilla, velveteens,
tweeds and similar fabrics, and it
would be hard to improve on this one.

Wide Skirt Has Arrived.

"The wide skirt has arrived" says
fashion authority. 1T started with the
short, faring minaret tunic. From
there it heightened and expanded into
the long, full Russian overskirt. Here
it ruled supreme for some time, but
at last the final drop came, and sud-
denly, too, and its end is the three and
a half yard round-the- bottom skirt. The
circular skirt hanging in quaint godet
ruffles is rival of the new plated
skirt, and Paris favors both as smart
autumn styles. The long coat which
flares even more than the skirt be-
meath is the suit coat of the hour,
while the basque which clings to the
figure has taken the place of the, bag
gy kimono blouse. 1t has brought
with it the high collar and the higher
ruche, which flares. It Is interesting
to note that we are to flare both at
the neck and at the feet this winter"

CHAPTER XVI.
A Byzantine Princess.

Tired and disturbed in heart and
mind, Pedro crept wearily up the long
flights of stairs to his apartment, and,
as he paused upon the landing next to
the top, the little clock on Cassie's
mantel-shelf rang four clear silvery
notes into the dark silence of the
musty stairway. With sigh he COM
manded his stiffened muscles for
final effort, and mounted the last re-
naming fight of creaking steps be-
tween him and bed. All, grateful
thought! 1t made him hurry, and
caused him to glance eagerly toward
his goal before the top step was fairly
reached. There he paused in sur
prise.
A light was shining out from be-
meath the door! Could there be a
burglar in the room? 1t would scarce
ly be a visitor. at such an hour, and
in any event, how could a guest have
obtained admission? 1t was very puz-
zling. Cautiously he crept over to tho

Pedro drew long breath. Il 1t was
unfair to her, why then
II will tell you," he said unhappily.
The world was very still. At last
he raised his head and looked at her
with great, unhappy eyes that re-
preached her for the tribute she ex-
acted. Then his lips formed words
that refused to make themselves
heard. He ran his red tongue out to
moisten them. Then he tried again.
"It is because I am not mani" he
articulated.

heaven, what do you mean?"

anything that makes as good show

small bits of dainty apparel may be

these will not be any more pleasing

CHAPTER XIV.
Snow and Dogs and Things.

Snow and Dogs and Things.
As Pedro emerged into the street,
that snowy white CARPET which ap-
pears SO magically lay soft and muf-
fling over the pavements, deadening
the sound of such little stir of life as
was still abroad at this most silent
hour.
A distant chime struck the quarter,
and proclaimed that two o'clock Of a
new morning was at hand. The wind
was biting and Pedro, plowing along
ankle-deep in the shifting mass. shiv-
cred beneath the insufficient covering
afforded by the old green coat.
With head bent and shoulders
hunched. Pedro had gone past his cor
ner by mistake, and suddenly realizing
this, he glanced up to find himself con-
fronting building that had often at
tracted his passing attention. 1t was
before the old First Presbyterian
church, with its snow-laden trees, and
white-mounded garden, that he paused
and turned his back to the lashing
gale. Just as he began to retrace his
steps. allowing the wind to push him,
he heard a low moan, as Of some one
In pain.
The sound seemed to come from the
front portico of the church. Going up
to the iron gate, he found it open, and
peered inside. Apparently no one was
there, and he was about to leave, when
within the dark central doorway some
thing moved, and gleam of white
flashed out of the gloom.
In an instant Pedro had bounded
across the 'snow-flled space between
gate and door, and was kneeling on
the tagging of the vestibule, cropping
about. Then something warm and
moist touched his hand, and he discov-
cred the sufferer to be large black
dog with a white star on his face, who
lay as though one of his hind legs had
been crushed-perhaps by some pass
ing automobile, earlier in the previous
day. His coat was coarse and short,

How do you feel, Them" he asked
gently.
How do feel?" she cried. 81 feel

And slipping from the sofa before
he could prevent her. she fell upon
her knees in front of him, and clasping
her hands as If in worship, gazed up
at him adoringly, almost touching him
as she knelt.
THAT is how feel" said Iris.
Don't, don't!" said Pedro in a
broken voice.
81 love you'll" said Iris. why, you
surely know it-you must have seen
it,"
She spoke with the glad note of one
who confesses what they believe to be
the most desired of facts.

'But why should I not?" she asked
radiantly. ~ love you! Do you not
like to hear me say it? Does not my
having come here in this manner
prove it?'

self from something. "No, it proves
nothing of the kind. You do not, can
not love me! 1t is impossible, impos-
sible. I have already told you SO. All!
I cannot endure to have you act SO!
And this is Hills own room!"
But l do love you'll" she cried, fol-
lowing him. Pedro, touch me-ten
me that you care! Kiss me, Pedro!"
'Never!" he said fiercely. "You do
not love me-you love Hill! Yes. yes,
you do, although you do not realize it.
I am really nothing to you but re-
action-a pastime!"
That is not true!" she sobbed.
"It isl" he shrilled. You have loved
Hill all along! Me! Why, it is out of
the question that you should care for
me. 1t is against nature! The atmos-
phere of the studio is what you love
here, the informality, the careless free
dom; but, me-ah! no. You love love
itself primarily, and tonight it has
mastered you. But the man whom you
love is Hill"
"Ah, SO you care nothing for me,
after ALL" she moaned But l am

'T will not!" he cried, retreating
from her. "I love you in my own way

but will not kiss you! You are mad

situation, not me, that has SO aroused

Roughly he flung her away.
"Listen!" he commanded, you don't
know what you are doing. You are
nothing but an infatuated little animal
tonight You no more love me than
you love that lamp-than the lowering
moth loves it! There is a splendid
man who does love you, and you re-
turn his affection, although you do not
appear to be conscious of it; but take
warning-and open your eyes to the
fact. Do so before you succeed in
