Lightning Flash Picks

Winchester, Wa marvellous
freak of lightning was reported
by Mrs. Coleman Lyme Of Jeffer-
son county, West Virginia, who
declared that after lightning had
struck a small pear tree near
her chicken yard she went out
to look after hen whose eggs
were soon to hatch. She found
the lightning had run down the
fence a short distance to the
nest, and there was the skele-
ton of the hen I'm the exact posi-
ton in which she had set upon
the nest.
The bones were as clean as
IL they had been scraped, and
the meat and feathers lay near

the eggs had been cracked, but
on close inspection small hole
was found In the end of each,
and the inside of the shell
burned out as clean as new

Velvet HATS IN LIMELIGHT
First of the Splendid Rich Fabric Now
Making Its Appearance in
Paris.

Plain materials are having a great
vogue and the only dressmaker OF any
importance In Paris who dares to use
prints to any extent is Paul Poiret.
He Uses most extraordinary patterns
In dress silks, the designs seemingly
more suited to a carpet than to a
dress.
The first velvet hats are beginning
TO make their appearance. RebOux
is having success with hunters green
velvet hats trimmed with a natural
coque, all in the FURNISHED green eff
feet. Reboux also is using a sort Of
triple crepe for covering large sailor
shapes. This crepe is fluted to W.
the brim and there is only the simplest
of ribbon band trimming.
Everything to match is an impor-
tant note in present Paris fashions.
The crepe de chine dress is often ac-
companied by q hat trimmed with the
same material. And 1t Is not unusual
to see hat, cape and dress all of the
one material.

Dunsany a Fast Writer.

Lord Dunsany, who, despite the
slump in theaterland, has had a new
play produced in London recently, ap-
pear to be we'll nigh as facile a play
wright as Lope de Vega, remarks the
Manchester Guardian. From the pref
ace to "Plays OF Birls and Men" we
learn that the longest of these, q
three-act tragedy, took him only three
days to write; q twO-act play took
two days; a One-act play n day.
The time allowance of an act a day
was exceeded only in the case Of The
Queens Enemies" the single act or
which took six days, and most a
ers Of the volume will agree that 1t is
the least effective play of the four.
Mr.. Pond, the lecture agent under
whose auspices Lord Dunsany toured
the States two years ago, says: ITO
see Lord Dunsany at work-a thing
which he seldom permits-is to see a
ceremonial. He uses large, square
cut enameled paper, and he writes
with a quill pen. On one side ne mas
q great stack of fresh blotters, and
when he finishes Il page he blots it n

The simplicity Of styles offered for

has served to emphasize the impor-

and other accessories. BY using good

The best way TO keep the nails nice

warm water and soap. Even if you

the cuticle only nee n day 1t will be

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

By F. Walker

In our own time the supreme quail
tiles of Marshal Foch are traCeable
To the powerful individuality Of his
mother.
From the dawn Of history to the
present day, in sacred and secular
affairs. the influence of the mother
has always been the greatest factor
in the development Of ability or ge-
MUS. She has been the source Of in
spiration as she was The source of
being.
Sometimes she has pulled the chill
dren, handicapped by the fathers
characteristics up to her OWN level.
Sometimes she has pushed them
above both herself and the father by
an indomitable determination that
neither poverty nor i'll fortune Of any
kind should interfere with her am
billions.
MIR. Vauclain's plan Of selection will
serve its purpose in the great majority
of instances. He Is safe in conclud-
ing that If the boy had the right kind
of a mother he can count on his being
the right kind Of a boy.

MYSTERY OF LOST ATLANTIS
Believed by Many to Be Merely Leg
end, but Idea Can Not Be
Entirely Uprooted.

Will the mystery Of lost Atlantis"
ever be solved to general satisfaction?
The story has been told for centu-
ries, and is still accepted as true by
numbers of people on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
The original idea was that an is
land of immense size and great beau
ty existed beyond Africa, with many
large cities, and nations having
strange laws and customs. Some
writers have even gone so far as to
describe the kind of clothing the peo-
pie wore and the money they used.
Then the story goes that the inhabi-
grew bold and warlike, and that they
invaded Europe and Africa. But fate
was unkind TO them-because of their
wickedness, it Is said terrible earth
quakes and floods occurred, and in a
single day and night Atlantis was
swallowed up and sank into the
depths Of the Atlantic ocean.
III the attempt to find some ground
for the persistent belief, one famous
scientist fell back upon the time,
thousands Of years ago, when great
tracts Of the earth were covered with
a sheet Of ice of vast thickness.
In this Ice We're imprisoned such
enormous quantities of water that the
level Of the oceans sank quite low,
with the result that large areas OF
land uara loft 1nnnpnrn1 Ono Of
these uncovered portions, he sug-
geSted, was the island or continent Of
Atlantis, which, on the melting of the
ice, was covered again by water to a
great depth.
The western mountains of Europe
and the eastern mountains of North
America are supposed to be fragments
Of the high mountain ranges Of this
mysterious lost Atlantis"
