GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Possibly Less "FIIp" Than the Maidens
of Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma dIsdained the first aids to
beauty-powder, rouge, eyebrow pen
Gil and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that she had ears. She exposed them
to view.
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, movies and
chewing gum.
She danced the minuet with men
she knew. She would have been horri-
fled with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie.
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped in and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-high skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes of the
present mode.
She gave no thought of career, the
vote or the great question of the day.
And yet
She knew what to do when grand
father came along.-Judge

New IIIuminator for Microscope,

Prof. Alexander Silverman has in
vented n new illuminator for the mi
croscOpe. whose special advantage is
that it gives very strong light upon
the object examined, so that Opaque
and translucent bodies can be as readi-
ly studied as transparent ones. The
top of the object or the side can be
face. 1t is particularly valuable in
testing samples of metal since 1t
shows the presence of blow holes and
pits and much detail not hitherto Wis
ible. 1t is likewise useful to textile ex-
perts since it shows the threads of a
fabric from every angle and is also
much appreciated by bacteriologists.

Dublin, Dec 13.-The central portion
of the city of Cork has been burned to
the ground and other portions of the
city are ablaze. The contflagration fol-
lowed an ambush of the military at
Pitlons Cross in which four persons
were killed and many wounded Three
civilians We're taken from their houses
and shot dead after the ambush of the
military. Then the fires started. 2.
There We're bomb explosions and fir
ing also was heard. The populace is
panic-stricken.
An official report of the conflagra-
tion says that the Cork city hall, the
Carnegie library, the Corn market and
eighteen other buildings had been de-
stroyed.
The municipal buildings, the Carne-
gle library and the Corn exchange,
which cover n large area, have been
consumed by the flames, which We're
so hot at places that passing tram cars
have been set ON fire.
Several blocks of buildings i'm the
heart of the business district of Cork
were destroyed by fire during the
night, constituting the costliest de-
structlon of property since the repris-
ais began in Ireland.
A group of public buildings on AL
bert Quay, including the city hall, the
Carnegie library and a portion of the
Corn exchange, also We're burned, as
well as private residences in various
parts of the city.
Early estimates place the damage mt
between 2,O00,0OO and 100000 pounds
sterling.
The fires extended to st. Patrick's
street, from Cook street to Maylor
street, and swept entire rows of build
ings on both sides of Winthrop street
leading from st. Patrick's street to Old
Georges street.
1t is not improbable that lives have
been lost in the fires: already several
persons connected with the destroyed
houses and business premises are re-
ported missing.
At o'clock this afternoon people
were just beginning to venture again
into the streets: the whole city was
then in control of the military, and it
1S uHutTStOOu tHe OlllttT III tblnilihu
assured the pOpulace that the military
would remain on duty indefinitely to
prevent further destruction.
The troops are In full fighting order,
pickets with machine guns being post
ed at all vantage points.
Only one large drapery establish
ment Is left intact in Cork.
The destroyed city hall in Cork was
only excelled in point of size in Ireland
by Belfast's great civic building.
This was the third time 1t had been
set on fire, the fremen being driven
out at the point of revolvers.
On the two previous occasions the
west wing, devoted to the public health
department, was burned. This time
the hall was set alight in many places.
The great hall, seating 5000, and
having fine organ, shared the fate of
the municipal premises.
The fact that no serious casualties
were caused by the bombs is explained
by the statement that preliminary
warning was given to all occupants of
buildings to leave prior to the attacks.
