The Peanut,

The common peanut grows in a pc
culiar way that is distinctly original
The little plant sends up its shoots
with the fruit on the end Of some
what stiff stalk, and then before it
ripens the stem bends over and care
fully pushes the fruit underground. As
pigs are said to be especially fond OF
these, it has been humorously sug
gested that the plant does this to hide
it's nuts from the porker's too inquisi
tive investigations.

Better homes on the farms" is an
excellent slogan that is gaining ire
mendous impetus throughout the coun-
try. The old-time, : long accepted idea
that the farm home was merely a roof
and four walls is losing a foothold
because Of the development Of the
building enterprise anu individual am
bition. The housewife has become
acquainted with the beauties and con-
veniences of the city home and she in
sists, that her nest shall be JUST as
modern as any. Moreover she has be-
come tired of the breaking
drudgery that kept her tied to the
limits of the house and made her work
ing day one long, endless, monotoneus
grind.
The effect is apparent in all Sec
lions Of the country. The farm home
is no longer subordinatcd to the dairy
barn, the implement shed or the poul-
try Alouse. Today it is FIRST in the
mind Of the farmer, certainly first in
the eyes of his wife and of tremend-
ous importance to the children. I'm
less home surroundings are made at
tractive they will leave the farm for
the cities where attractions abound.
AS a result the farm home is as at
tractive, convenient and modern as
most houses in cities. Electric light,
running water, bathrooms and laun-
dries are no longer something to be
dreamed about; they are actual real
tiles in the farm home.
That this is true is borne out by the
picture and floor plans of the farm
home shown here. This house could
very easily grace the streets Of a high

class residential section lin a large
town or city.
When a man is building a house,
which in most cases he does only once
in lifetime, he is inclined to con-
slider all angles very carefully. And
to the average farmer there is NO
stronger appeal than economy. With
no large sum Of money to expend> on
a home he wants to get as>>beautiful
a dwelling as possible at the lowest
possible cost. This type Of home is
designed for that purpose Because
of it's square lines which eliminate
any special orders for material, it is
one of the most economical types Of
home that can be built. AS is the
general rule in homes of this type, the
roof is hieped. -
In this home the broad open front
porch is particularly inviting. The
wide tapering bulkheads and pillars
painted white are very impressive. lp

REGULAR Teeth.

The teeth should be regular. They
should not be crowded together, and
there should be no aggressively notice
able spaces between them. They
should be white or seem white. The
unromantic' truth is that teeth are
never really white. But in contrast
with the lips they look white, and the
more healthy looking the lips the
whittier do the teeth look in contrast.

was jumping about in astonishing fashion. The
thought Immediately popped into my mind that
static signals from some other planet were prob
ably responsible. This idea took such q hold on
me that | made the definite suggestion that there
be established in the ore fields of Michigan a sta
ton where scientific vigil might be kept, in the
hope that the great masses of ore in that region
would attract magnetic signals from interplanetary
space.
IF we are to accept the theory of Mr.. MarcOni
that these signals are being sent out by inhabi-
tants of other planets, we must at once accept
with it the theory Of their advanced development.
Either they are our intellectual equals or our SUI
periors. It would be stupid for us to assume that
we have a corner on all the intelligence in the
universe"
Nikola Tesla, the famous Serbian inventor and
electrical expert says: "Marconi's idea of COM
municating with the other planets is the greatest
and most fascinating problem confronting the
human Imagination today. To insure success a
body Of competent scientists should be organized
TO study all possible plans and put into execution
the best. The matter should be directed probably
by astronomers with sufficient backing from men
with money and imagination. Surprising that
there are intelligent human beings on Mars, sue
cess is easily within the range of possibility. In
March, 1907, I stated in the Harvard Illustrated
Magazine that experiments looking to communica-
ton with other planets should be undertaken.
SIN 1899 | built an electric plant in Colorado
and obtained activities OF $4,000, 600 horsepower.
In the course of my experiments | employed a
receiver of virtually unlimited sensitiveness. There
were no other wireless plants near, and, at that
time, no other wireless plants anywhere on this
earth of sufficient range to affect mine. One day
my ear caught what seemed to be regular signals.
l knew that they could not have been produced
upon the earth. The possibility that they came
from Mars occurred to me, but the pressure Of
business affairs caused me to drop the experiment.
The thing, / think, that we should try to devel-
Op is a plan akin to picture transmission, by means
of which we could convey to the inhabitants Of
Mars knowledge of earthly forms. This would
enable up to exchange with them not only simple
primitive facts, but involved conceptions. To talk
to Mars seems to me only a matter Of electric
power and perseverance"
Frank Dyson. British astronomer royal, believes
we could get Hertzian waves from other planets.
Prof. Edward Branley, Paris, inventor Of the
coherer, is %sceptical. Prof. Domenico Argentieri,
Rome, says the supposed signals are worthy Of
careful observation.
Prof. Albert Einstein, the German astronomer
and author of the theory Of "Relativity' that is
apparently ~upsetting all accepted doctrines. be-
lieves that Mars and other planets are inhabited.

DETACHABLE LINING Is new
Continuance for interior Of Gowns Not
Regarded as Style, But First Aid
to Sanitation.

You may wear a detached air this
spring, but to be really smart you must
wear a detached lining to your frock
as well, notes a fashion correspond
ent. Not smart in the chic sense Of
the word, of course, but downright
clever. for though one Of these new
detachable Innings won't add much in
n stylish way to your gown, as a first
aid to sanitation, hygiene and time
conservation they have no equal.
Just imagine the delight and relief
when the lining Of your perfectly good
new frock has become a bit soiled to
detach it deftly and airily from it's
moorings and nOnchalantly toss it to
the handmaiden who presides over your
weekly wash board and industriously
rubs her way through your entire ward
robe. Then, when she has had her
way with it and 1t returns to you a
bit worn but pure, you fasten ii quick
ly in place inside YOU gown again and
presto! all is as good as new.
Surely everyone but the dry cleaners
are due TO hail these detachable Innings
with joy and rapture and attach them
selves with great dispatch to a lining
that will thus detach.
Made of heavy washable silk they
can be obtained cut to any measure and
can be adapted to any type of dress.
Just for good measure they ever come
provided with an extra pair Of sleeves.
They certainly seem to be a mighty
good thing to get next to or at least
to get next to you
Yet another detachable note prom
ises to enter into our spring fashion
able scheme Of things and that is the
return Of the Alexandria curl, as they

Meredith curl, as we knew 1t In days
Of yore. 1t Is that one corkscrewed
tress that is allowed to dangle intri-
guingly owe one shoulder from a

mentioned Innings, but to be firmly at
tached to the scalp does not bar 1t
from the mode.

BEADED BAG IS ABANDONED
Fashion Tires Of One-Time Favorite
and Takes to More Exclusive
Oriental Novelties.

Fashion has somewhat tired Of the
beaded bag and is now going in for
more exclusive novelties, oriental In
their type. Two new bags have ap-
peared on the Rue de la Paix, writes
"A Paris fashion correspondent. One
is in pouch form hanging from a solid
silver ring and closing with a hinged
v set on to a corresponding ring,
the ether two being held together with
a %curiously carved clasp. At the top
Of the bag is a cap Of carved silver
and at the bottom a silver pendent
ornament. The sack portion is Of
black satin ornamented with a band
Of cid Japanese embroidery. The 9TH
er bag OF gold cloth. ornamented with
bead and metal embroidery and metal
pendent ornaments, is for evening
wear. At the top of the geld ribbon
drawstrings is a Chinese figure form
ed Of carved ivory.

TO BE YEAR OF TRIMMINGS
Stitched Embroidery Has New Lease
of Life--WooI Decorations in
High Favor.

Garments of all kinds promise to be
much trimmed this spring, perhaps be-
cause except In a few extreme models
the silhouette is not so different from
that of the late winter.
Stitched embroidery is as good as IL
not better than ever. Very often 1t
serves to quilt thin fabrics into a SEM
blance of weight. Thus a gilet OF sew
eral thicknesses of white China silk
is quilted with navy blue stitching and
makes a very lovely front TO a navy
blue tricotine suit. Stitching of plain
fabrics in all-Over designs and con-
trasting threads is a novel way Of get
ting that desired contrast of mate
rial.
Fringes are not so ubiquitous as at
this time last year. Very Narrow wool
fringe is being applied to taffeta frocks
Of the quaint, full-skirted type.
Wool embroidery and appliqued wool
crocheted flowers are another sort of
trimming which the season indorses.
This is particularly good on khaki-kopl
and similar sports silks for pocket
trimming, with the bright woods re-
peated in woven girdle and heavy tas-
sells.
