THE CURIOUS Sal HoRsE.



Il Resembles Chess knight TaiIss
With coiisd worm.
The interesting little dsh known
~ the SEQ horse or hippocampus,
which has attracted much attention
on account OF its curious form and
no less peculiar habits from time
immemorial, is discussed by DR..
Charles X. Eastman Of the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History 10
one Of the Smithsonian reports.
Occurring plentifully in the Medi-
tsrranean, the typical species vas
well known to the ancients. and, ow-
ing 10 the vide distribution Of the
remaining thirty odd species com
posing the genus, sea horses have
now become familiar objects IN most
large aquariums Of the world. They
appear 10 be a weird combination
OF horses head and a body or tail
Of a caterpillar. II has been said
that IL q coiled worm were attached
to the base Of a chess knight the
sea horse would be well initiated.
The most frequent position as
sumed is a state Of rest, with the
tail wound around the stem Of q
plant or other substance, and the
body carried nearly OF quite erect,
but Notwithstanding the apparent
rigidity Of its cuirass like body
armor, almost every other attitude
consistent with such form can be
assumed. The body can be thrown
outward or downward at various an
giles, the tau being wound around q
plant in a double coil. Once IN
awhile one eye may roll toward the
observer, while the other may be
passive or look backward or even in
the opposite direction. The little
fish can move its eyes Independently
Of each other and in entirely differ
ent ways. 4 comical effect is pro-
duced BY the manner in which these
fishes peer at some objects, remind
ing one Of a very nearsighIed per-
son.
Releasing itself from its support,
it can progress slowly, still in q
vertical position, its tail curved in
ward, it's dorsal Gin rapidly undulat-
ing, reminding one OF a screw pro-
peller, and with IFS pectoral fms Vi
brating In harmony.
Incased as il is in an almost in
flexible coat Of mail, progression
cannot be effected BY lateral fexion
Of the body, as in ordinary fishes,
and with the hexion in q vertical
direction progress is limited.
With such limited powers Of pro-
erosion, a nice adjustment Of or
gans is necessary. One method is
said to use an air bladder compare
lively large and always distended
BY a quantity Of gas 50 exactly in
harmony with the specific gravity /
of the body that this entire body is

Sensibility. A proof Of this is that

these flaps are cut on the bias with
the flap fairly wide at one side of the
pocket ana narrowing across to a
fire acute angle at the other side.
These are usually made button
through in the middle. There are
other pockets that have a semi
corcular flap also buttoned through.
Cuff treatments also show conspic-
uous button arrangements and nov
city schemes. There are shown sew

What, this season. we may call the
conservative styles, are by no means
lacking of distinctiveness. but they
are called conservative in a COM
paTative sense. based on the ex-
trenfe aspect of the novelty styles.
The dominating notes in the con-
styles are of English char

Of the styles in vogue for the
spring season in mems suits and
overcoats there is no easy gradua-
ton from conservative to novelty
styles. The two fashion thoughts
are sharply defined and no COM
promise is offered. The garments
thus far observed are either sedately
conservative or spiritedly unique. No
half way measures have been pro-
Vided for. In the class defined as
novelty styles are included various
conceptions in fanciful designing.
These include the pinch back and
helted styles with minor details of
attractiveness that are fragrantlp in
dicative of a trend toward distinc-
tive ornamentation. These garments
show pinch back effects in shirred
treatments, inverted plat arrange
ments, box plaits, yoke backs, mock
belts, half belts, detachable, and belt
all around effects. These define the
novelty styles in a general way, but
the variation in minor details are
carried to g. point that is only bound
ed by the inventive resources of the
designers. For instance, there is a

usually have button decorations at

IRENE models substitute buckles for

buttons are employed The half belts
that are detachable have the buttons
on both side seams and other belts
are stitched on at the sides and

back with a button. Most of the
mock belts nave no ornamentation
and are merely stitched on at the

fled above as the nature of back de-

ton is IN the making of the pockets

of these models have patch pockets
and they are shown in one, TWO,
three and four but,an effects.
Quite q few double breasted styles
are shown for early spring wear,
some with plain backs and most with
helt or novelty backs Many of these
belted effects employ the tunnel belt
treatment
The overcoats shown for spring
adhere very closely to the style de-
tails prominent in the suits with
special reference to back treatment.
Aside from these, the raglan and
Chesterfield shapes are features In
both suits and overcoats for spring,
compromise is made to the men who
eschew extreme styling, as many of
the most exclusive dressers do, es-

OPPOSE PRESENT ACTION
Statement Intimates Change of
Front in Directors Advocacy
of Dividend Clause

Sidney NJ. Earle. chairman Of the
transportation committee of tho United

that that association was opposed to the
making Of any lease between the city
and Rapid Transit Company for the
operation of the high.speed transit sys-
ten that guarantees the company divi-
dend. The present lease draft now be-
fore councimanic committee makes
such guarantee.
Mr.. Earle issued a formal statement
setting forth the position Of the asso-
citation. 1t follows:
"As chairman of the transportation
committee of the United Business Mems
Association, would appreciate the priFi-
Iege of addressing the public through

organization of more thln 25,O0N menu

the leasing of the contemplated hlGh-

securing of n fair contract to the city and
equitable treatment for our citizens, 1he
development and leasing of these high
speed lines should be Unitarian
project, the greatest good to the greatest
.
in the interest Of comparatively few
stockholders as against the hundreds of
] thousands of our citizens.
I'VE as an organization believe II Is
unwisc and arc on record as opposed to
the maldng of any ease or i.tting any

son Of existing conditions in our coun-
try.

! making a lease with the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit or any company that

surprised that Director TwininG adNo-
Gates such IA plan,
Therefore. the United business Mems
Association rcafllrm their position that
they are opposed to the making of any
ease that guarantees any dividend, and
we still further oppose the making of
any lease at this time"
