Machine Weaves Wicker Furniture

For some 5000 years man has beer weaving wicker baskets and furniture by sticking upright stakes. or the weft, into a frame, then weaving the warp in and out. This process has always been a manual one; until few months ago. in fact, manufacturers Npf woven baskets, furniture and baby Carriages actually asserted that>a machine could never be invented to do this work. But the ma chine has been built. and is now in use. and the Popular Mechanics Magazine contains an interesting full-page plate of the machine in operation. The frame is built in one part of the factory, and the wicker fabric is woven in anothe-. The last step in the manufacture is, of course the application of the wicker fabric to the frame
 The loom is revolving machine to which the stakes, or weft, are fixed. over a pattern. The wicker, wrapped on two spools at the sides of the loom, is fed into it through an overhead tension pull ley. As the loom revolves, the wicker passes from the pulley to the shuttles, two of which are found on each ma chine. Emerging from the shutties, ths warp is met by star shaped wheels which press alternate strands to either side

Underwater Movies

Remarkably clear and sharp movie films and still pictures, taken under water, are the product of an improved form of diving bell recently perfected at west coast studio. The instru- ment was developed for the express purpose of recording the work of a noted lady swimmer and has proven highly successful. The bell weighs 1,S00 pounds ashore but only seventy pounds ins the water. and is so ar ranged that the cameraman inside can move 1t about on the bottom to change his viewpoint. states an article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine

word spread among the crew that the ship would not, after all, put in at Tahiti. but merely drop the mail over and go on. Tahiti, being French soil. is little island of liquor in mid- Pacific. and the thirsty men aboard had been lying awake nights thinking of the drinks that lay ahead.
 NThe disappointment was too much for one seaman who. uttering a plain tive cry, leaped into the Sea and start ed to swim for the visible shore.

 The kings new vamp exercised great | influence over Ed right from the jump off. Fortunately. she had a good dis { position and never tried to show off She interfered- only in emergencies For instance, when some Eton College boys were hazing freshmen, they forced the newcomers to paint the college colors all over the back fence of one of the kings, summer houses. Edward stormed and tore his pocket handker-
 chief, and swore he would destroy the
 college. and Kings College. too.
 Now look-a here, Ed cooed Jane,

 kd-you told me asout it--the time you painted the cat and he jumped on your mothers throne, and it got all messy ? The old fence needed beautifying, any way. Dearie.''
 Edward was so tickled over the re- miniscence that he forgot all about destroying the colleges, After that Jane had both institutions vamped, from freshmen to tutors. They hung DOT traits of her in each class room, and the boys recited Virgil gazing at her. and instead of Latin Dido they sub stituted a plain English Jane.
 Just think, if it hadn't been for Jane. we women might have been wearing swallow tail coats instead of the popu- lar Eton jackets this year
 RICHARD GETS UPPER HAND
 Things moved swimmingly until Ed ward died, as kings sometimes do.
 Then Jane's troubles began. She en- listed the useful admiration of Thomas Gray, Marquis of Dorset, but the Mar quis could not protect her against so f,rl ID. fxt-. cester, who had become King Richard IT. Remembering his old grudge, the King accused her of practicinS sorcery against him, in collusion with the late King Edward. If Jane had sorcered anybody, it had been Ed himself, and at all events Richard had a noisy little time trying to prove that she was a witch. The people were with Jane, and the worst the. King dared do to her was to condemn her to public penance.
 Jane felt awfully foolish putting on & public procession all by hers4f. carry ing lighted tapers in token of her re- pentance of being something she never had been. She carried it out in grand style, though She looked lovely, all gorgeously haloed and with a saint-li like pair of candles in her hands, and people thronged the thoroughfares watching her go by Some of them thought she must have lost bet on the aldermanic elac- tion. People tossed roses in her path and she was getting so much publicity that screen star would have been jeal- ous of her. Richard became uneasy when he saw how things were going. He called a halt and threw her into Ludgate prison
 Iron bars, however. do not a prison make for a resourceful vamp. Thomas Lynom, the Kings own solicitor went to Ludgate frequently on business and he lamped the forlorn and wistful beauty who languished in one of the cells.
 Whats she charged with?' demanded Thomas, nudging the turnkey.

JANE BECOMES
 ROYAL FURNITURE

The upshot of the kings visit was that William stood at attention, next day while a pair of the kings criers read a proclamation to him setting forth that Jane Shore had been com mandeered for scenic purposes al court. William appealed to his influential brother, Richard Shore. the alderman, in vain. A seat in the city council meant small graft and less pull in those days than in these.
 So Jane Shore was established at court as the favorite of King Edward IV./She justified her reputation as an advanced woman by going into politics with a vengeaI>se.
 Edwards throne was the center of operations of an nnholy gang of con- spirators. chief of whom was Richard of Gloucester, afterwards King Richard H. who has been widely and unfavora- bly advertised by William Shakespeare Richard Mansfield, the Drama League and others.

Jane Shore could both read and write, and these remarkable accomplishments stamped her as an advanced woman in the days of King Edward " of England.
 It was said to have been Sir Thomas More who tipped off the king to Janes achievement.
 We hasten to say Nix on the High brcws," scowled the king. Were it not sufficient that women should know so much and talk so much as they do, with out being able to read and write it?'

MANY APPLICATIONS FOR
COURT HONORS DENIED

London, June 21.-Restrictions placed
upon American women who aspire to
presentation at court are such that
nearly ali of them in London viii be
disappointed this year. Only eight of
the many who are reported to have
applied will be presented and they
must have qualifications which have
surprised some of the uninitiated.
If married, their husbands must pre-
viously have been presented at a levee.
they must have entree TO the White
House and if they have been divorced
it must be indisputably shown that
the divorce must have been granted
in her favor in open trial at which
both parties were represented in court
and where alimony and custody Of
the children have been granted to the
woman. Even in such cases the de-
mand for legal details is so mute that
the king. in difference to the ideas Of
the queen, it is said. has let it be
known that it is inadvisable for di-
vorcees to apply at all.
Applications of Americans for court
presentations must be made to the
American ambassador and he stands
sponsor for those he selects. OF course
this feature of the embassy work is
almost as carefully guarded, out of
respect for the feelings of the many
