The Big Bend country in Texas bor-
dering on the Rio Grande, famous In
frontier history as the rendezvous of
scores of bad men," has been mapped
by the United States Geological Sur
vey. The survey has made known
some striking topographic features.
About 10 miles northwest of Terlin-
qua is a circular area seven miles in
diameter called Solitarigo. 1t Is
formed of huge, curved strata of lime
rock standing nearly on edge and
slanting inward like the slaves af an
inverted tub.

New Roudoir Cans.

New boudoir caps Sf lace and net
have a clever contrivance that makes
them wearable with the hair dressed
for the day, or loosely twisted up early
of a morning. The ordinary elastic
is omitted, for, though this elastic
band may be just right when a cap is
worn in bed or before the coiffure has
been arranged, it is often tight and
binding when the cap is donned over a
completely arranged coiffure. In place
of the elastic there are three snap
fasteners inside the edge of the crown.

for style or good taste. The blouse
has ree-quarter-length sleeves to
which wide lace cuffs are added by
way of charming touch of elegance
for the occasion.
But when the revels are ended, the
donning of the coat, dark, plain and
trim, tones down the costume to the
level of the quiet required for street
wear.
One-piece frocks worn under long
and comfortably warm topcoats, will
help make it easy to dress for day
that requires variety in the toilette
without allowing time for changes.
But they are only rivals of the we'll
tailored suit, which cannot be outdone
in usefulness or style.

)EIioht of Bullet.

The most amazing sight in our ex-
perience, says a writer in Popular Me-
chanics, was the United States service
bullet with it's speed of 1900 feet a
second Here we saw the bullet itself
not flying particles. The sun was low
over the eastern hills. Its rays came
through a break in the ridge bordering
the range, lighting up most of the
course Of the bullet up to the target
500 Yards away. but leaving the target

Bioamv In India.

A case of bigamy that sounds queer
to western ears is reported from In
dia. One Ahad Ali married FulJan
Bibi about eleven years ago when the
latter was only 8 years old The for
mer lodged a complaint before the
subdivisional officer of Bagerhat al
leging that one NOLAN Dakua had
married his lawful wife Fuljan last
January. Both Nolan and Ful1an
were arrested and committed to the
sessions. In the sessions court both
the accused were found guilty. Mo-
lam was sentenced to one years rig
orous Imprisonment and Fuljan to
two months simple Imprisonment.

Wireless Station for Antarctic.

One of the objects of Sir E. Shackle-
toms present South polar expedition
is to establish wireless station in the
Antarctic. the staff to be relieved once
a year. The main purpose of the sta
tion would be to keep the civilized
world acquainted with the meteoro-
logical conditions around the pole
Theoretically the power of such a sta
tion need not be very great for long
distance transmission, but during Cap
tain Scott's Antarctic investigations 1t
was discovered that the Aurora aust
trails (the South pole equivalent Of
the aurora borealis in high northern
latitudes), by "damping" the ether
waves, somewhat counterbalanced the
lessened interference of sunshine.

Never Eat When Tired

When one comes in tired it is abso-
lutte madness to sit down straight
away to dinner; even if it is ready,
let it wait bit until one has washed,
freshened up and taken even few
minutes rest; a tired body will not al
low the stomach to do its business;
and, after all. meals are made for
the man, not the man Tor the meals,

more honorable mission than to
scare people in later days into the
use of special drinking cups and to

useful citizen, but now he has fallen
from his high estate.

Yellow Bridal Wells.

The modern bride has much to be
thankful for, in that she does not have
to follow the example of the ancient
Greek and Roman maidens, who had
to wear yellow bridal wells, according
to writer in Gas Logic. Brides are
usually little pale unless they resort
to artificial coloring. and a yellow veil
would not be so universally becoming
and softening as the white halo is to-
day The yellow veil is still worn by
Persian brides.
