New York.-The dominating feature
of the French gowns which recently
arrived in this city is the straight line
from the head to heels, which all the
Paris masters seem to have adopted.
One of the best gowns from the
house of CallOt is called Vision, and
Is built of amethyst velvet with Gre
clan bodice girdIed with a narrow
hand of gold braid. A scarlet flower
is placed at the side of the waist. The
tulle over one shoulder hangs across
the back and follows the long, pointed
train. The skirt is very short in front
and the train reached out from the
side.
An already famous gown resembles
a mummy case. 1t is called Chrysis.
The front is u straight panel with the
bodice part of black chiffon, and the
rest of black satin thicEly embroidered
with metal threads and green beads in
blocks. A box plait of satin at the
back is also embroidered. A gray one
that has been greatly admired Is called
Sacre Feu. The bodice is of net en-
brOidered in OXydiZed silver with a
panel of the same down back and front.
A gray tulle cape goes over the ShOui-
ders and begins at the middle of the
neck In the back under small narrow
cravat of fire cOlOred velvet ribbon, the
ends dropping to the knees. Around
the waist is Il narrow belt Of the same.
BuIloz Strikes New Note.
The moment the buyers arrived they
saw that BullOz was going to make Il

its pattern after Callet, but it has done
brilliant things, and there is a feeling

skirt is narrow, with long train, and

There is an unlined band of gold lace
below the hem. The skirt is longer at
the right side and is laid in pIaits at
the hips.
There is also a jade green brOcade

SOME FACTS ABOUT MERCURY
Astronomers Have Been Studying the
Planet and Published the Con-
cIusions Arrived At.

The planet Mercury is the smallest
of the major planets and the nPareSt
to the sun. which ii circles in little
less than three months. 1t reaches ITS
greatest distance from the sun at
periods about sixty days apart. During
the year Mercury is morning star three
times and evening star three times.
Owing to it's nearnesS to the sun. Il is
never visible for more than period Of
about two hours after sunset or the
same length of time before sunrise.
The eccentricity of it's orbit is greater
than that of any other major planet;
it's greatest and it's least distance from
the sun differ by nearly 15.OOO 900
miles. According to A. w. McCurdy of
the Royal Astronomical society of
Canada. the most remarkable charac-
TPriStic In the motion of Mercury Is
that when it is nearest to the sun it
travels faster than it should if it
moved only by the solar system. AS
trOnOmerS have long sought an eXpla-
nation Of the accelerated motion. Some
believe that there are other planets
ut present unknown between Mercury
and the Sun-bOdeS that although nu-
merous are too small to be seen. Fhe
movements of Mercury Indicate un IN
buence that might be accounted for by
the presence of another planet revOIv-
ing within it's orbit. Ii such IA planet
really exists, there should come u time
when 1t will appear as a dark spot
moving across the face Of the sun. An
other way to detect the presence Of
new planets in the vicinity of the sun
Is to take observations during total
eclipse. If there are no clouds al
such a time. the stars become visible
as the sun disappears. During the
total eclipse of the sun in 1878 one oh
server saw an object that he thought
might be the lOng-SOught planet; bun
no other astronomer has been able TO
confirm the discovery and many now
believe that the hidden source of the.
unusual movement of Mercury must be
luOked for elsewhere than in the orbit
of the plAnet.--YOuth's Companion.

Prices are dropping these days:
Butter and eggs, flour and potatoes
and a number of other articles essen
tial to our physical well being are
nearer the reach of just ordinary
average people than they have been
before in some months. There are
various opinions as to the reason fol
this dropping of prices; some say
that it is due to federal investiga'
toins; some, that it is the result of th'
boycott of outraged housewives ant
housekeepers, and others that it il
all due to the fact that Germany is

CORN LACK LIME

Because Of its low content of min

should not be fed as the sole concen-
trate in rations for swine. Bodily
weaknesses result from deficiency
of mineral elements when other feeds
are not supplied with corn.
In experimental feeding tests con-
Quoted by DIR. E B. Forbes of the Ohio
experiment Station, hogs fed mainly
corn had weak bones resulting in
lameness and fractures. Such injuries
do not occur with hogs on pasture or
with those given feeds rich in lime,
such as clover, alfalfa, rape, skim
milk and tankage. Bone flour, wood
ashes, corncob charcoal and lime are
useful supplements to rations def
cient in minerals.
