Another town that has suffered Sc

the four greatest machine-made lace

in peace times is most widely noted.

Calais-Paris connections are excellent
and find himself forced to spend
some hours in the city, the first thing
he remarks is that there seems to be
dozen or more women to every man
upon the streets. While, of course,
the relative disproportion is nowhere
near so great. still girls and women
do largely outnumber the men, as
the lace industry is continually draw
ing them from the surrounding coun-
try to its factories. Wages in this in
dustry are very low, and many of its
operations can be performed as we'll
by young girls as by men,
The loiterer next notices lace signs
everywhere, upon commission houses
and factories. Generally, these signs
appear in three languages, French.
German and English. In spring and
autumn he will meet a continual
stream of his countrymen, buyers for
the big importing houses.
Factories Are Worth Seeing.
OF his own free WILL however, the
traveller seldom stays. He is always
willing to leave Calais for most any
where. There are plenty of self-cen-
tered. serious, hustling business
towns at home, and there is no oc-
casion for enduring the monotonous
twentieth century atmosphere when
one is on pleasure trip There are,
nevertheless, many things worth see
ing in the fiat, dingy. strictly practical

tories are well worth while, and
usually give one a new reverence for
the possibilities of insensible machin-
cry. To see the most intricate pat
terms mingled in foam wave of ex-
quisite lace possibly of several colors,
with gold and silver threads, and all
this done by massive, complicated
piece of machinery, at one end de-
vouring thousands of thread strands
and, at the other, giving forth lace
equal to the highest cunning of the
human hand, is to witness almost the
perfection of mans inventive genius
And, then, this piece of machinery op.
crates automatically, much like the

Calais shares with Nottingham
England, the honors for the manufac-
ture of machine-woven laces. The
other two leading lace towns make

industry from England, but it has add
ed to the original English processes
and machinery enough to be in posi-
ton to claim a perfection of its own.
Aside from, and beyond, it's momen-
tary military interest, Calais has the
liveliest interest for the person wide

A Californian has invented a shower

tube with cork, says the Indianapolis

hook and one end inserted in the cork
through hole in the center, with a
round plate to keep it from slipping.
The other end of the tube is fiattened
to make narrow slit about half an
inch long at the end. This slit causes
the water to spray The other end is
fitted to any faucet in a bathtub or
washbowl, and the force of the water
causes fine and sufficient spray to
spout that gives a refreshing shower
bath. The spray is not great or strong,
but it is enough to be the means oil
great refreshment to the tired traV'
eler. The cork is inserted in the fau-

Find Potash in California.

The salt-incrusted valley floor COM
monty known as Searles Lake, III
southern California, has lately come
into prominence through the wide
spread interest in the search for an
available source of potash in this coun-
try and the apparently promising pros
poets this locality affords of a con.
siderable commercial production in
the near future. The estimate made
three years ago that this deposit con-
tains four million tons of water soIu-
bic potash salts seems to have been
amply confirmed by subsequent de-
velopments. That this amount of pot
ash salts will. actually be produced
and placed on the market cannot yet
be considered assured, but so far as
can be judged from evidence available,
it seems that this deposit is the most
promising immediate source of com
mercial potash in the United States.

among Pueblo Indians than elsewhere
in North America. There is rarely
the slightest body contact between
dancers of different sexes and never
an embrace such as characterizes our
own dances of pleasure.
Pueblo dances proper are mostly
concerned with rain, fruitful harvests,
and abundant supplies of game Much
Of the prescribed regalia represents
clouds, falling water and blossoming
plants. The symbolism is worked out
in feather headdresses, embroidered
aprons, painted wands, etc. and is
magical or coercive in character. Wild
animals are supposed to be pleased
by dances in which they are mimicked
and to allow themselves to be killed
in return. All the persons chosen for
important dances have to undergo
four days of preparation and purifica-
ton during which they are isolated
from their townsfolk. The religious
heads of the village, called "caciques,
are masters of ceremonies and the
war captain and his men are watch
ers, warders and providers.
The public dances in the plaza are
more or less professional but the adj
vance is very slow and the trail of
footprints in the dust shows how the
dancers have inched their way. There
are definite spots for stationary dane
ing and here counter-marching is used
to make new quadrille- formations.
A good example of this sort of
dance is the so-called Tablita dance
which takes its name from a painted
tablet representing clouds that is
worn on the heads of the women. 1t
is spring and summer dance con
nected with maize and is designed to
bring rain for the growing crops. The
costume is especially devised for this
occasion and every detail of dress and
ornament has special import. OF
course, variations are to be noted
from one Pueblo to another. On the
great feast day of Santo Domingo in
August this dance is celebrated and
several hundred persons take part in
it. Besides the man and woman
dancers, who are divided into two d.
visions according to the social group
ing of the clans, there are Chiffoneti
or Delight-takers in two orders and
a number of individuals painted to
represent special NEUROLOGICAL be-
ings. The Chiffoneti are clowns
whose naked bodies are painted with
broad stripes of black and white and
whose hair is smeared with mud and
tied with corn husk. The ostensible
purpose of these clowns is to make
merry and do what mischief they can
but in reality they are the only per-
sons who can conduct the gods of
rain and fruitfulness into the vii
lage and they thus occupy an import
ant esoteric place in Pueblo religious
life
