the views in all directions comprise the
most notable Bad Lands scenery in the
world. Below lies the shattered and
plateau, curved and cut and twisted
into thousands of queer and eerie
shapes. There are groups Of great
gray birdlike forms; there are things
with long necks and heads that resem-
BILE ostriches; there are shapes that
might be taken for herds of some mon
strous, unknown animals, and gardens
of giant mushrooms; even profiles and
full views of the human face that
might surely, from their appearance,
have been sculptured by clever work.
men of some forgotten race, so perfect
are the expressions of these heroic
statues-all carved, however, by the
rain and the wind blowing the sand
particles against the soft rock.
Once Termed With Life.
Absolutely deserted as are the Bad
Lands today, except for the occasional
traveller, this great plateau. in the very
long ago, when the world was very
young, was teeming with animal life.
No such animals are alive today, only
their smaller descendants. The huge
Titanotherium, which fed upon the
luxuriant growth of almost tropical
vegetation with which the Bad Lands
were at one time clothed, would have
made the largest rhinoceros of the
present age look like a sucking pig.
This antediluvian monster was II feet
lCug and stood nine feet high. Other
monsters were the Oredon and the
Elatherium, while a great cat or pam
ther-tiger preyed upon the herb eaters
of the time. The bones of hundreds
of these animals have been found en-
bedded in the rock strata of the Bad
Lands, The region has ever been re-
nowned as a veritable storehouse of
the fossil skeletons Of these pre-
historic animals which lived hundreds
of centuries before the epoch Of the
f1rst man.

ancient sea, long since turned to
stone, became a lofty plateau. Then
the rivers began their slow work of
cutting, carving and dissecting this
tableland. The result today is that
wonderful region of several hundred
square miles east of the Black Hills,
known as 1.-The Big Bad Lands where
nature has chiseled the soft rocks
into thousands of strange of curious
shapes. The cloudbursts of spring and
summer which visit the Bad Lands Gre
ate innumerable rivers, from small
rills to raging torrents, whose rushing
waters cut deep into the old ocean
bed-layers of hardened sand and clay
carrying it into most startling shapes
and forms. There is a bewildering
variety, a kaleidoscope change from
every different viewpoint. The Bad
Lands are not, as might be supposed
from the name, somber and desolate
in appearance. Bad they are for the
unwary travellers comfort, even in
deed his safety, since the watering
places are few and far between,
Chaos of Rugged Shapes.
Different from the titanic carvings
of nature, such as the great canyon of
the Colorado, which has been cut
largely by a single river running cease
lessly through the endless centuries,
the Bad Lands present fine network
of comparatively minute sculpturing,
in hundreds rather than thousands of
feet, the result of intermittent erosion.
Neither does the wanderers eye rest
on any forests, glittering lakes, or
green meadows. Instead, there is a
veritable chaos Of rugged and gro
tesque shapes fashioned by the rains
and the winds out of the crumbly
rocks, softly tinted with many hues
The bright western sun reflects the
light from thousands of glittering
pyramids, towers, galleries, and ca
Jhedral spires, all bare of vegetation,
but casting back in subdued shades
every color Of the rainbow.

The three panels of the clothes horse
screen have been covered with shirred
cretonne, the material overlapping at
the points of the screen, so that there
shall be no crannies to afford UNI
sought and unwelcome glimpses into
the screened-off space. The cretonne
matches the curtains and cushions OF
the living room, and when the screen
is set up at bedtime the rest of the
room still presents coy and tidy ap-
pearance.
On the inner side of the screen are
several hooks and many large and
small shirred pockets, made of the Gre
tonne. On the hooks garments may be
hung and into the pockets will be
slipped toilet articles, shoes and small
belongings. An oval mirror hangs
from a stout hook in the center of the
panel of the screen.

5000 Dairy Men Trained.

with the growth of the dairy in
dustry, there is steady demand for
competent men in dairy manufactur-
ing plants of all kinds says E. H.
harrington of the department of dairy
ing at the University of Wisconsin.
Since 1890, the Wisconsin dairy
school has sent out more than 5000
students to positions with dairy pro-
duct manufacturers from one end of
the country to the other, and even in
foreign lands. Men who have COM
pleted the winter dairy course are, OF
course, thickly scattered throughout
the home state, operating some of its
many creameries and cheese factories.
The Wisconsin school has, from time
to time, supplied teachers of dairy
husbandry to nearly every one of the
leading state agricultural colleges.
More than $50 students are taking
this winters dairy course. Certifi-
Gates are not given the students until
they have completed satisfactorily
two seasons work in some creamery
or cheese factory.

SCREEN C0NCEALS A COUCH
Admirable Scheme Evolved From the
Brain of a Woman Who Has
Practical Ideas.

A hospitable little woman who loves
dearly to entertain, but whose domi-
cile is too small to accommodate many
guests, has contrived very sensible
way to put up the occasional man who
can bunk anywhere" anywhere
usually being the living-room couch.
Out of an ordinary wooden clothes
horse, the largest size obtainable, this
hostess has evolved a slightly and prac-
teal screen which turns that corner
of the living rooom in which the couch
is located into a very comfortable and
perfectly private bedroom. Opened
out, the clothes horse, which has three
sections, completely hides the impro-
vised bed from view, and the screen,
moreover. is almost six feet high, so

ANKLET BOUQUET NOW
FASHION HAS TAKEN ANOTHER
FORWARD STEP.
DARING Leaders of Modes Are Wear
ina Flowers Just Above the Shoe
Tops, Instead of at Waist,
as Formerly.

The Partisan creators of fashion
have issued the royal edict that to
be the vogue, skirts this season must
be short. The shorter the more vogue
to them. No doubt the fashion men
tors had in mind that the spaces in
tervening between the skirt bottoms
and the shoe tops would be utilized
by some creative genius in the intro
duction of the latest fad
OF course there was the anklet
watch and the anklet muff to fall back
on, but such tame things as these could
very easily be improved on by some
one with imagination.
Naturally one must have dainty
ankle. Yes, indeed, a very dainty
ankle, to attract the proper amount
Of eyes. But then, again, like every
thing else, there are likes and dis
likes, and the piano-bottomed ankle
is just as apt to attract attention as
is the one built on the lines OF
Venus.
dorothy Newell, possessing as
charming figure as one would desire,
bethought herself of a daring inno-
walton. Having the daring of her con-
victions, she went about executing
them. If, Miss Newell figured, it be
the proper thing to wear corsage
at the waist, why not use bouquet
to adorn the ankle? Having started
the vogue, it caught like a house of
finder when the torch is applied to it,
and now the florists are getting real
fused up about it. Aye, they are
studying the most courtly Of manners
in so far as the art Of kneeling is
concerned. If the vogue spreads as it
is already doing, the cavaliers of the

reached. The fact that many of these
fantastic structures appear to be fall
ing into ruin in no way detracts from
the romantic charm of the scene; such
indeed seems in harmony with the ST.
lent, deserted aspect of the region.
Fortress after fortress and en-
battlement after embattlement meet
the eye from different positions
as the traveller wanders here and
there through the Bad Lands, some

standing out bold and sharp against
the clear blue Dakota sky. Hardly can
there be anything more impressive
than the vast silence and great DESC
lation of the Bad Lands.
Over most of the region few living
things can be seen. Here and there,
clings desperately to existence, and
animal life is equally scarce. "A few
springs support little vegetation, WV
idly green in contrast with the sur
rounding grays, blues, pinks and olive
shades of the rocks, while in two or
three places animals are found. A
high ridge of some extent located
near the center of the region, and
representing probably the original
level of the old plateau, has sufficient
soil and fertility to support a scanty
growth of grass and on this live con-
siderable numbers of the great Rocky
Mountain Bighorn, the noblest Of
American wild sheep. This ridge is

BLACK MATERIALS IN VOGUE
Really Unlimited Possibilities in the
Color, if 1t Is Effectively and
Carefully Employed.

Black is to enjoy a marked measure
of vogue this season. That announce
ment has been made by style creators,
in fashion periodicals, in the daily
press. And most women have adopted
it as a statement of fact, but have
doubted that black could be effec-
lively used for really dressy cos
tunes. Somehow it's past record as a
staple" has initiated against it's con-
sideration as anything else. A sur
vey of some of the afternoon and eve
ming models fashioned from black ma
terials will dispel any such idea. Black
has unlimited possibilities.
The secret of its use-successful
use-depends upon the material en-
ployed and the modelling Of the gar
ment
The dressy black costume must be
more dressy, more elaborate in mod
cling, than the costume fashioned
from colored fabric. Translated into
evening frocks, black materials re-
uuire the use of frills and furbelows
in order to counterfeit the absence of
color. Lace and nets must be used in
profusion. Satin must be employed,
because it's surface reflects light. Jet
and sequin trimming are utilized for
the same reason. Even black feath-
ers-black paradise-have place in
the development scheme of the black
evening gown.

florist shops will be compelled to
carry kneeling cushions about with
them, as an aid toward adjusting, at
the proper place, the beautiful anklet

last named must, however, be removed
from the cabbagehead variety. That
may do on the six-cylinder anklet, but

| HE Black Hills of South Da-
kota and Wyoming, which are
in fact mountains rising from
the great plains to an eleva-
tion of 1000 or more feet above sea
level, were millions of years ago, a
small, low island, surrounded by a
vast shallow sea. This sea extended
as far west as the Rocky mountains,
which were mere highlands rising
above it, writes Guy E. Mitchell in the
Utica Saturday Globe.
The average traveller today, much
less the bandits and Indians who have
in recent years infested this elevated
region, would probably, according to
their various nationalities, smile
grimly or laugh to scorn the statement
that this portion of the country, now
so arid and barren, was once the
ocean, and later a vast tropical
swamp, among whose rank and luxu-
RANT vegetation lurked strange and
huge reptiles, and on the shores of
which roamed giant herbivOrous ami
mails, which were in turn preyed upon
by the terrible fesh-eating monsters of
the early world. Such, however, is the
fact as attested by the vast quantities
of fossilized bones which have been
found imbedded in the rocks and many
of which are now mounted in lifelike
attitudes in various museums of the
country.
Following this age of sea and swamp
the whole region was uplifted thou
sands of feet by the dynamic forces
from within the earth; the hills be-
came mountains and the bed of the
