Millinery Opening.

The Millinery Opening of Mrs. Nettie
F. holland last Friday and Saturday
was attended by great throngs ofladies'
who came to view the Easter hats and
bonnets. The hats this year are OF .
great variety. One can get from very
tiny toaue to the large Merry Widow
sailor, and it would be hard to say which
are the leading colors, for it seems as #
every shade can be had. A very attrac-
tive hat was of silver gray hemp. trim
me d with purple lilacs. pink roses, wheat
and Alice blue velvet. A leghorn with
top brim of pink Georgette crepe and the
crown a solid mass of foliage, pink
roses and purple pansies was an ideal
garde hat. A black Lisere chin chm
sailor with cockade of black and white
ribbon made quite au attractive tailored
hat. A little white lace poke with fac
ing and roses of pink chiffon was shown
for the wee little tots. A very handsome
mourning model was of gros graiu silk,
black and white crepe with entire tri m
ming of punches of crepe grapes and
foliage. Mrs. holland has Mrs. Alice

EARTH TREMoRs.
Caused on the Rand by Crushing Pill.
lars Left in the Mines.
MINING and scientife Press)

(Mining and Scientific Press)
Earth tremors on the Rand had be-
come SO frequent and SO perturbng to
the local community that the union
government Of South Africa appointed
Il commission TO investigate the mat
ter. This commission has now issued
a report stating that the shocks orig
mate from mining operations, and not
from earthquakes proper They are
due to crushing of the rock pillars
left in the big slopes of the deeper
mines, such crushing and collapse Of
ground being due to the superincum-
bent weight, which is increasing stead
lily as the ore is eXcavated over larger
areas underground. The tremors
caused by the shock are transmitted
to the surface and for a distance of as
much as seven miles, The greater
frequency and violence of the tremors
at Johannesburg. as compared with
other towns along the lode is due to
the more intensive mining in that
neighborhood or course, little of this
Is new to those we'll informed, but the
publication of it in the Transvaal may
serve to allay public anxiety Air
blasts are fairly well understood in
other districts where the deep mining
of lodes of relatively flat dip is extern
sive, as at Hancock, in Michigan, and
in the Kolar district of India. The
commission suggests that the shocks
may be prevented by the removal of
existing pillars when nsutficiently
strong and the adoption of sand filing
in substitution. Also new shafts should
be protected by larger pillars, and both
the inclines and the drifts should be
excaVated in the foot wall rock. Some
of this has the SAVIOR of counsel of
perfection; we shall be curious to see
how nearly the advice is followed.
