weeks, and it is arousing considerable
interest here.

of Joliet. 1t is drilling below 1900
feet and with the present showings

No. 3 Merriwcther which is reported
to have been brought in Saturday

CLOTHING ONCE WORN BY MEN
Psttlcoats, Gowns Disusss, Freeks and
Robes Were Male Attire In
oldsn paya

Petticoats, gowns, blouses, frocks
and robes were once worn by men
as everyday attire. The gown, a
thousand years ago, was robe OF
fur worn mostly by monks who were
feeble or in i'll health. Today uni
yersity students, clergymen and
lawyers all wear gowns. Nowadays,
when a person is dismissed from
the church he is said to be "un-
frocked." Frocks originally were
big gowns with large, open sleeves,
and were worn as an outside robe
by monks and friars. The frock
Of today owes its origin to the first
frock sported by the old friars and
monks. So, too, does the smock-
frock which British countrymen
once and in some remote sections
still wear. A mans short coat was
once known as pettycoat, and that
word survives today to describe the
underskirt worn by women. Knights
Of old wore silk overall to protect
their cleaning armor from rain
and sun, and this was known as q
blouse.

PRACTICAL JOKES ON NATURE
Polish Naturalist Produces Weird Ef-
fects on caterpIIIars and
Moths by Grating.

Caterpillars with eyes on their
sbdomens and male insects growing
female wings have been raised by
Stefen Kopec of the Government In
stitute for Agricultural Research at
Pulawz, Poland.
Information reaching here de-
scribes a long series of experiences
in which he had removed the simple
eyes and their surrounding tissue
from the heads of caterpillars and
grated them on the abdomens Of
these insects. The germs of these
mature eyes developed normally, not
outstanding the absence of any
junction with the nervous chain.
He performed similar operation
and exchanged the wings of the
male and female caterpillar moths
These wings continued to develop,
but retained the color and char
scteristics of the sex from which
they had been taken, instead Of
showing the hue OF the specimens
IN which they deyeloped.
