Monster Petticoats.

During the reign of Charles I. the
hoop petticoat was worn only by wives
of the lower gentry and by the wives
Of the citizens. In the latter part of
the reign of Queen Anne it rose again,
this time in another foRm-tha Of an
enormous hoop. This grew to such
immense proportions that during the
time Of George /. and II. eight yards
was considered the proper width.
These hoops had outstanding steel or
whalebone foundations at the bottom
Of the skirt. In Elizabeth's time this
Whalebone had been used at the top,
near the waist, enlarging the hips for
several feet Addison expressed him
self about the subject as follows
through his Sir Roger de Coverley:

new fashioned petticoat, except that
hers is gathered at the waist. My

Enr the Defense.

The present fashion Of exceedingly
short skirts, says a French paper, is
cruel one because it uncovers such a
multitude of too, too solid ankles. The
chief beneficiary in the case Is the
shoemaker, whose job it is to bring art
to the aid Of nature and create the
illusion of charming lines where moth
ing of the sort exists. But the shoe
makers task Is not always an easy one.
In Paris especially those substantial
lady patrons of his expect good deal.
Therefore a certain fashionable artist
of boots in the Rue de Rivoli has
adopted precautionary policy. Upon
his circulars and upon piacards in his
shop there is printed a notice conceiv-
ed in the following terms:
IN. L. respectfully reminds his pat
ronage that shoes cannot be held re-
sponsible for the defects of the foot or
ankle of the wearer. They cannot
therefore be taken back after the Gus
toner has once put them op."-New

a stranoe Roosx DwelEer.

One Of the strangest creatures known
to science is the pholas, or boring
clam. When still very minute the ami

extreme low water, by means Of it's
sharp shell, which is replaced by Sc
cretfonS as 1t is worn away. 1t pene-

eight inches and holfows out it's bur

It's rock dwelling even il it wished to
do SO. For food it depends on the ami
malcules that float In sea water, which
1t seizes by it's long siphon, or tongue.
The pholas is in great demand at the
seaside resorts along the Pacific coast,
for its meat is very tender and makes
excellent soup. The CLAIMS are dis
lodged In great numbers from the

Maitinn Electric Rain.

A new scheme for artifcially produc-
ing rain is To be tried out in Australia,
where there are large sections Of land
that would be valuable for agricultural
purposes if sufficient moisture could be
insured, says the Scientific American.
A captive balloon at a height of 5000
to 1000 feet and anchored In the path
Of prevailing winds Will be used to dis
charge electricity into the atmosphere,
and it is hoped thus to cause sufficient
ionization to provide nuclei upon which
the moisture of the clouds will con-
dense.

has found 1t safe in the morning. The
other day, while hunting for an old hat
in his clothes closet, he saw one OF his
old coats hanging on hook. It had

in that pocket time after time and Mrs.
Bowser would never discover it. He
made mental note of this, and that
night the wallet rested in a new place.
Next morning as Mr.. Bowser was
yawning and stretching and preparing
to arise and go down to his breakfast
a dog fight took place in front Of his
house. He jumped out Of bed and

pocket Of the old coat. He had street

loss until he came to pay for his noon
day luncheon. Then he could not pay.
He had neither change nor wallet.
The waiter observed that no sach
game could be played on the house,
and Mr.. BoWser had to leave his watch
as security for 30 cents. He remem-
bered where he had left that wallet,
and he started for home instanter. He
did not take the trolley car. 1t was too

Mr.. Bowser burst into the hall and had
to sit down on the lower step Of the

an old rag buyer pass out with a full

Bowser had been selling him his old

A Record In the Variety Used Made In
the Present Conflict.
In no other war in the worlds his
tory have SO many kinds of animals
been employed in the actual conduct
OF hoStilities. The list of beasts en-
gagged in the present conflict includes
horses, mules, dogs, oxen. elephants.
goats and camels. Dogs are doingsen-
try duty, hauling light guns and serv-
ing with the ambulance corps. Goats
are necessary to provide food for the
Indian troops attached to the army di-
visions of Great Britain, and elephants,
where the climatic conditions permit
of their employment, are used in hand
ling heavy timber. Camels have proved
invaluable In the Turkish campaign
and, already, as is the case with all
beasts Of burden, their value has in
creased tremendously.
Experts have recently begunrto give
serious attention to the problem of
keeping up the supply of the various
animals necessary for the vast opera
lions Of the hostile forces, and the pre-
diction is freely made that il the war
continues another year the supply will
not be equal to filling tenth OF the
demand.-Boston Herald.

Mexico City Is Aged.

Mexico City is traditionally nearly
600 years old. It was founded when
the Aztecs settled on an island near
Lake Tezcoco. Cortez practically de-
stroyed the city in 1921. From this
time on there was hardly a break in
the ordinary events until 1852, when
there was a revolt against Spanish
rule. Later it was the scene of many
revolutions and much bloody fighting
until the iron rule of Porfrio Diaz
made revolutions for thirty years some
what Improbable ventures. In the
war between the United States and
Mexico the principal movement OF the
American troops was directed against
Mexico City. After capturing the hill
of Chapulbepec by assault General
Scott occupied the city Sept. ii, 1847.

The Ecuinoctial Storm Fiction.

ne EquInoCrIai storm FiCtions
The widespread belief in the exist
ence of an equin0ctial storm and In
dian summer comes, to a certain eX-
tent, under the head OF popular super
stitions. IL the equin0ctiai storm Is
defined as transform, lasting at least
three days and occurring within two
or three days of the 21st of September,
then there is very seldom year when
several equinoctial storms do not oc-
cur. The reason for the belief in an
equfnoctial storm is probably the fact
that about that time of the year the
first storms of the winter type, with
steadily falling precipitation, make
their appearance. They stand In sharp
contrast to the summer type with the
sultry weather and thunder showers.
Storms Of the winter type can occur,
however, during any month of the
summer The amount Of precipitation
near the 21st has been shown by av-
eraging the observations at many sta
tons to be no greater than before or
after this date.-Willis Ishliester Mil

LIFE or A FIGHTING SHIP.
Ten Years Now Marks the Limit of Its
Battling Activity.


Battling Activity.
When in Spanish war days Captain
Clark made the name Of the United
States battleship Oregon famous by
bringing her around Cape Horn from
the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean his
ship was one of the mightiest afoat,
able successfully to exchange broad
sides with any ship on the seven seas.
Yet today were the Oregon placed in
line against any of her modern sisters
of the United States navy in very
short time she would lie battered
hulk before their guns.
So rapid has been the development of
naval architecture that ten years are
approximately the life Of battleshi2
as a unit fit to be reckoned with first
class fighting ships.
It has been stated that on the morn
ing preceding the battle between the
Monitor and the iron plated Merrimac
the fighting naval force of Great Brit
ain consisted of over 200 ships and that
OH the evening Of the same day it
boasted only two-the Warrior and her
sister ironclad. This drastic reduction
was on account of the proved superior
ity of ironclads over wooden ships as
shown by the battle between the two
American vessels.-Frank E. Channon

Woman,s Position In Tibet.

The influence of women in family
and society has been declining In Tibet
as result of frequent warfare. As in
other parts Of the world and at various
epochs in human history, men back
from victorious battlefields in Tibet
were wont to monopoli@e feminine adj
mfration; hence it came that polygamy
has been steadily encroaching upon the
old undisputed sway of the Tibetan
woman in the family. This is an ex-
cerpt from the story told by the Rev.

plorer, who has just returned to Japan

tually so strong as to give this new
man the greatest political prize over
which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man.
EstabroOk is big man physically,
mentally and politically. Quite six
feet in height, erect, rugged, he would
be man Of commanding presence in
any gathering His mental attainments
are attested by his signal success i'll
the practice of law and by the wide
spread interest in his every pubic ut
terance on governmental, economic
and social problems. He has always
been student and when he discusses
a subject he speaks with the author
ity of one who has mastered it. His
conclusions are invariably sound, and.
once he has arrived at them, they are
proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, for
he is essentially a man with the cour-
age of his convictions.
For instance, he has been one of the
most drastic critics of President Will
son and the present Democratic adj
ministration, arraigning them for their
tariff law which bankrupted the fed
eral treasury and which places the
American farmer, the American manu-
facturer, and the American laborer at
the mercy of foreign competition, and
for foreign policy which has destroy
ed the respect that the American flag
and American citizens once command
ed in every quarter of the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.

man prominently before the public to
outline a concrete program of national
defense. which he presented in an adj
dress before the American Bankers

eye would catch the end of his wallet
sticking out of the inside pocket of his

draw that wallet. She would also nat
urally open that wallet and count the
contents. AS wife, she would feel
that a third of the wealth belonged to
her, and she might take a ten dollar
bill and lay 1t aside for future use.
When Mr.. Bowser came to count the
