Rome in the days OF Augustus was city Of
more than 100000 persons, and IT did not have
single hospital.
The CITY was built mainly Of brick with narrow
tortuous streets. But 1t had some broad ana
welpaved thoroughfares, the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way, which was the
metropolitan terminus, so to speak, OF one OF the
great military roads that radiated from Rome as
a center to all parts Of the empire.

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

If mermaids were no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never alive. Summer visitors al
the seashore find them for sale-very dead, and
dried-at shops that specialize in marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalists say) Is one Of the
most ancient Of fishes. il is one of natures
oldest imitations-a "camounage," so to speak.
1t has a horselike head, and its body IL 50
shaped as 10 resemble the neck of that quadru'
ped But really when one comes to examine It.
the thing II counterfeis is the Knight piece OF
the chessbOard.
The sea horse has tubeke snout, at the end
Of which are the mouth and jaws. It's head ID
toppcd by a sort of coronet. Clad In q complete
suit of arrnor plates. IL cannot iex It's body Ike
other fishes and its 6nless tail is OF use for
lOcomotiOn.
1t feeds on small shr1mps and other crusts,
ceans. Occasionally, uncoiling It's tail from the
supporting plant, It swims slowly, not ike other
fishes, but always in vertical position. its back
fn vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the horse possesses an
air-bladder. which Is always distended by quan-
tity OF gas 50 exactly adjusted for equilibrium
that, II a single bubble no larger than the head

the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
is healed and fresh supply of gas has been

But the most remarkable point about the sea
horse is that the male is provided with an ex-
.ernal stomach-pouch, In which nj the mating sea-
son the female deposits her eggs The lining
membrane OF the pouch sccretes n nutritious fluid
on which the young, when hatched are fed. When

HOME SEWING A LOST ART
At a Shirtwaist Ball Only Eight In
1900 Made Ones They
Wore.

Proof that home dressmaking is fast
becoming one of the lost arts Of femi-
ninity was one of the little sidelights
that twinkled merrily at the suffrage
shirtwaist ball, remarks the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. There were almost 1900
persons in attendance; naturally that
meant 1900 or more women. And Of
these 1,500 only eight wore shirtwaists
which they had made themselves.
This was discovered through prize
shirtwaist contest. A prize was award
ed for the most becoming waist worn
by woman at the ball; another prize
was given to the woman wearing the
most becoming waist made by herself.
There We're hundreds in the first con-
test, but there were only eight in the
latter contest.
There were many comments on this
from the "side lines" One suffragist
took it as providential answer to
that antisuffrage argument which takes
into account the dire consequences of
taking women out OF the homes
through enfranchisement.
Eight made by wsmen and the rest
probably turned out by man and a
machine" one suffragist murmured.
