They We'd with the vikings, and it
was along about the thirteenth CEN
tury that the Teutons and Danes
made war upon them. They fought
for 100 years before they were sub
dued. and then the German knights
of the Sword, and Russia, Poland and
Sweden ruled them from time to time
The Germans finally got possession
and oppressed them cruelty for 600
years, with the exception of a short
time when the Swedes, active in the
reformati tion, gave them some justice.
After that the German landowners
recovered their power and for 200
years the Esthonians were practically
the slaves of the Baltic barons. They
were so treated that Baron Rosen, the
land councillor. reported to the Rus
sian government that the peasants
belonged body and soul to the land
owners. Said he, THE Esthonians
may not own anything. They only
gather property for their lord, who
disposes of everything as he desires.
The degree of their slavery is decided
by the landowner, who may punish
them without appeal, and tax them as
he pleases."

Before the war much of the farm
population worked by the year for
the Baltic barons. These men re-
ceived almost nothing, and labored
from sun-up to sunset. Many of them
lived on the estates having a small
amount of potato land as garden,
and a certain allowance of food. In
some cases the wife of the man was
expected to give seventy days work
per annum in addition.

Germany. The currency is so low
that one has to have all his pockets
filled with bank notes to pay his
running expenses. Before the war
the Esthonian mark was worth 20
cents and 1t now takes more than
marks to equal l cent. 1t takes
$50 to equal a dollar and the five
hundred-mark bill which was for

of $150. The bank notes look like

needed in dress when one puts thirty
years behind one and moves the scale
weights beyond 12o pounds.
Fortunately there is no strong
evidence that ornamental blouses will
depend upon the horizontal treat
ment. They are disposed to greater
originality as they leave the path to
sport.
Just for example, imagine a blouse
built of black moire cut in a manner
reminiscent of those Stuarts who set
England by the ears, Haunting exag-
gerated collar and cuffs of white silk,

Nature of Electric Arc.

At meeting of the Royal Society
in London it was reported by
Swinton that he believed that he had
conclusively proved the truth of
Thompson's explanation of the cleo
trio arc. According to this explana-
ton, positively and negatively cleo
trifed corpuscles or ions are emitted,
respectively, from the positive and
negative electrodes and, under the in
fiuence of electric repulsion, travel
across the space occupied by the arc
and lombard the electrode opposite
to the one from which they are emit
ted.
The high temperature of the cleo
trode is produced by this lombard
ment and the electric current itself
Is supposed to be conveyed across by
the flying ions.
Swinton's experiment consisted in
DETECTING either the positive or the
negative ions by means of magnet
into a Faraday cylinder placed with
it's aperture just touching the center
Of the arc With arcs Of ten or twelve
amperes he obtained results in air at
ordinary atmospheric pressure.

Pea Timbales.

For this dish dried, canned or fresh
peas may be used. 1t is a very good
way to prepare fresh peas that have
become too hard or old to serve
plainly cooked. Press the cooked peas
through a sieve. For one cupful of
pulp, beat two eggs, add a few drops
of onion juice. or a sprig of mint
chopped fine. two or three tablespoon
fuls of cream, milk or stock, two
tablespoonfuls of melted butter, half
a teaspoonful each of salt and sugar,
a dash of black pepper and the pulp.
Turn into buttered molds and bake
in a pan of hot water until firm.
Serve with a cupful of white sauce
or tomato sauce. The pulp of other
cooked vegetables may be prepared
in the same way.

Color Perception.

DURING the Cambridge anthropo-
- logical expedition to Torres
straits series of careful psyche
metric observations of the inhabi-
tants of Murray Island was carried
out, and these studies of a primitive
people are regarded as of much i'm
portance in the science of mankind.
One striking result appears to be a
confirmation of the view, formerly
entertained. but of late generally re-
jected, that the limited variety of
color names found in classical liter
ature indicates that the range of
definite color sensations among the
ancients, in the days of Homer. for
instance, was less than with us. The
observations on the Murray Islanders
show that they also have no definite
descriptive words for color sensa-
tions to which they are defective

of it's growing Importance The con-
tour of this blouse shows little orig
inality; its designer is content to let
the velvet and fur supply 1t. The
jumper jacket is the inspiration; the
sleeves are Chinese in their width at
the wrists, the buckle is Chinese, and
the fur bands are that tawny yellow
pelt called Chinese lion. Paul Poiret
used it a year ago. ;
This blouse is worn with a plain

1t is sufficiently splendid to serve for,

hours. My steamer was the little
Viola of 500 tons. 1t was well filled
with passengers. but we each had a
cabin and our baggage was piled
upon deck. The sea was rough. and
/ was soon reduced to the condition
of the hero in "Hypatia," young
monk, who, during his first trip on
the Mediterranean, wrote back to his
holy hermit fathers:
After 1 had been out few hours
the devil entered into me and 1
loathed all manner of meat"
Moving out of the island-studded
bay of Helsingfors we were soon in the
we came into the Bay of Reval, which
is also guarded by islands. The
harbor is excellent. and many small
ships were at anchor. We could see
the smoke rising from stacks as We
came in. One of these factories is a
locomotive plant which is repairing
engines for the bolshevist govern
ment, and the man who pointed it
out says the bolshevists send in two
engines for each one repaired. They
have no money, and the extra engine
goes to the factory as the price of
repairing the other.
We found the customs rigid, but l
have a laissez passer and my fourteen
pieces of baggage were passed with
out being opened. 1t seemed strange
to come into a city and find no auto
mobiles or motor trucks at the
wharves. My trunks were loaded on
a wagon, hauled by one horse with a
great bow over his head, and walked
behind it up the street to the hotel.
Esthonia as yet has comparatively
few automobiles, and the vehicles are
the same as when the country was
Russian. Droskies are everywhere.
and the drivers remind me of those
1 saw in st. Petersburg more than
twenty years ago. They wear caps
with visors that come we'll down over
the eyes, and blue coats padded out
to make them fat Each driver has
a. red sash round his waist.
Reval is 700 years old and the
streets look it. 1t is paved with
cobbles and the streets are so narrow
that one has to step out into the road
way wherever any building has the
slightest projection. The buildings
are close to the street. They are of
four or five stories, with sharp ridged
roofs Of red tiles. Some Of them have
walls of stucco painted bright colors,
and there are but few large windows
and but little plate glass.

Roman sense of the word, and it was
not until 1919 that slavery was
nominally abolished. In 1860 the
peasants were given the right to buy
their own lands but legally the rights
of the German Balts remained un-
changed until after the revolution of
1917. Notwithstanding all this the
people were able to get some educa-
tion. and today they have about 1900
common schools, several academies
and agricultural and technical insti-

Going up the hill, l visited a ca

ment constructed in 1910. At that
time 1t was trying to wipe out the
free spirit Of the Esthonians and
convert them to the Orthodox
Church. The cathedral cost SIS, 00O, 900.
or two million more than our National
Library at Washington. II was gor-
geously decorated. The czar put a
dome of copper as big as a circus
tent over it and about this were four
onions shaped gold domes, each with
a gold cross upon it. The copper
dome also was plated with gold. but
the church now lacks the support
from the Russian government. and
the priests have torn off the gold
plated copper and sold it to replenish
the treasury. The roof Is now painted
green.
i have spent some time in the new
parliament building. This is of Es-
thonian architecture, and it's interior
and exterior decorations are intended
to represent the resources of the re-
public. About one-fifth of Esthonia
is woods. and the finishing and furni-
ture of the capitol are made of the
woods of the country. Much of the
finish is in birch of a beautiful grain,
and so polished that 1t looks like
the brentwood pianos we have in
America The doors are of hard
wood carved to represent pine cones,
and the balustrades along the stair
ways are shaped like such cones.

fewer whole garments worn with it
than appears. The ornamental front,
with elastic waistband and important
collar, serves many a tailored suit in
these days when a lady follows a gen.
tleman's good manners in not remov-
ing a coat. What's the use of a whole
blouse, they ask? What, indeed?
Heavy silk is used for these skele-
ton garments; it is preferred to mus
lin. Coarse f1let lace is the alter
native. 1t has arrived in the forefront
of fashion without causing much
excitement. 1t is used as blouse
adornment, lending itself to white
chiffon for the type of garment that
goes with a tailored white skirt for
country club life.
One of the best of these is sleeve.
