GIBRALTAR OF THE BALTIC"
Powerful Fortress Of Sveaborg, Guard
ing the Gulf Of Finland, Has Been
Frequently So Called.

After more than Is months of naval
war upon the Baltic sea between the
fleets of Germany and Russia, the first
successful shot has yet to be fred
against the mighty fortress OF Svea-
borg, which guards the neck of the
Gulf of Finland, and the water APP
proaches to the Russian capital, says
bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic society at Washington. Svea-
borg, best known as the Gibraltar of
the Baltic powerfully secures its
holders control to all the wide basin
of the Gulf of Finland, thus giving
them most important base for dis
putting the control of the northern
Inland sea. 1t was the acquisition of
this stronghold that constituted the
strongest impelling force In Muvco-
vite politics toward the conquest of
Finland from the Swedes.
Across the neck of the gulf from
Sveaborg lies Reval, the seat of other
powerful shore defenses and OF Inn
portant Russian navy yards. These
two points block the way from the
Baltic against any naval power al
most as securely as the forts Kilid
Bahr and Chanak Kalessi blocked the
English ships at the Dardanesles.
Reval Is situated on sharp bay at
the northeastern gulf shore of Es-
tonia. Sveaborg fortress stands Just
before Helsingfors. the capital of Fin
land.
There are hundreds of small, thick
ly wooded islands strewn over the
coastal waters around Helsingfors. 1t
Is upon group Of seven of such Is
lands, which are larger than their
neighbors, that the almost impregna-
BILE Sveaborg fortress Is built More
over, small redoubts and batteries are
we'll concealed in several of the out
lying islands which surround, like a
thinIy-fiung skirmish line, the fortress
near the coast.
Many vain seaward attack has
shattered against Sveaborg's defenses
In bygone days, and in recent years
Russia has brought the strength OF
the place up to Twentieth Century re-
Quirements. 1t is said that more than
1000 guns are mounted here and sev-
eral thousand soldiers are quartered
In the fortress evon in times Of peace.
During the Crimean war the allies at
tackled this point violently and with
out success. The story goes that Eng
fish guns alone hurled more than a
thousand tuf1s OF shot and shell into
the fortress, almost without apparent
effect. 1t has fallen only once, and
then bribery is credited with victory
and not the force OF arms. II sur
rendered to the Russians without an
effort at defense, surrendering at the
same time that its garrison Of 5000
men laid down their arms and Turned
over their formidable defenseA the
whole country of Finland.

Two very pretty new models IN
nightgowns are pictured here, show
ing combinations of val lace and the
finest of organdie embroidery in their
makeup. They are both cut on en-
pire lines, with waists made of alter
mating rows of val insertion and en-
broidered organdie insertions. The
skirts are of nainsook, and in both the
models, the sleeves are made in ono
with the waists.
In the gown at the left the nainsook
Is laid in fine tucks in groups Of three.
and a sufficient number Of groups to
take up the width of the skirt and re-
duce it to that of the waist. The val
and organdie embroidery are sewed
together along the tiniest Of hens at
the edges of the embroidery, and in
the gowns pictured this work is done
on the sewing machine. The effect is
good, but even better when the val
Is whipped by hand to the smallest of
rolled hens along the edges Of the
embroidery. The lace and embroid-
cry are to be sewed together in a
piece sufficiently long and wide to
make the waist, and the waist cut
out by pattern as in any fabric.
The lines will be more or less d.
agonal, according to the way the pat
ern is laid on the material.
The neck and very short sleeves are
1nished with fine val edging, and a
tile rufie of it is set on where the
kirf and waist join. A bow OF pink

Oil Surplus Is Waste.

One of the causes Of the lubricant
working out from the differential case
between the axles and tubes of the
automobile to the brakes and wheels
Is due to using too large supply OF
oil or grease in the differential case.

the housing, only to a point where
the large gear will dip into the lubri-
cant. If the leakage continues, fit felt

Besides playing an important part
in spring millinery and new lingerie,
ribbons, in obedience to fashions call,
are making the most of an extended
field Of usefulness. Wide and mar
row ribbons share honors equally in the
great variety of uses to which they
are put. The narrower widths are fea-
tured on street and sport hats for
spring, while wider ribbons appear in
high bows and ruches on dressier mil
linery. They give the desired tall eff
fects and are wired and plated and
ruffied and draped in no end of
clever ways.
outing hats are placed in prim, neat
effects, and entire shapes are covered
with them.
In beach pillows and bags, in bor-
ders and other embellishments, on par
asols, ribbons shine down their rival
decorations. There is no part of the
apparel of women and girls that does
not borrow of their beauty this sea-
son.
Among the prettiest items that are
made of wide ribbons, bonnets for the
little miss of four or more years are
calculated to captivate both her and
her mother. 1t is simple matter to
make them, and plain soft satin rib
bons are used for the bonnets and for
the flowers or rosettes that trim
them.
The bonnet shown in the picture is
made of light pink ribbon. Three
shirrings over small cable cord shape
it to the head. The ribbon is gathered
quite full over the cord, forming a
