It is announced semi-oficially that
within the coming months Italy is to
have its first regular civilian air traf-
&c. Four lines are now decided upon
from Rome to Barcelona, Turin to
Trieste. Trieste to Venice and Brindisi
to Constantinople via Saloniki. 1t Is
announced what subsidy will be
supplied by the state, but 1t is taken
Tor granted that a large subsidy will
be necessary. Italy feels she has been
backward In civil aviation. The news
paper Epoca says that when the fascist
government came into power it found
that the mechanical equipment Of the
aviation department consisted chiefly
Of typewriters. Now, It feels, Italy
will be able to take her place on a
basis Of equality with Germany, France
and England. Meanwhile Italy has
consistently rejected offers Of foreign
companies to extend their air service
to italy. Such international lines will
now be permitted, 1t Is stated, but only
IL Italy retains the predominant part
Of the traffic.

Peaches From Africa

South Africa has recently been
sending peaches to England in rather
large quantities, and a few are find
ing their way to this country by way
Of novelty. 1t is no doubt due to
the facility of raising the peach from
the stone that 1t has spread to so
many countries, and to such a num-
Der of varieties. Wherever it has
gone it has taken a foremost place
in popularity, especially among cpl
cureans, such as the Romans, who.
1t may be gathered from Pliny, in
PRODUCED it from Persia and asscciat-
ed its name with that country-Per-
sica. It has been grown in England
since the middle Of the Sixteenth CEN
fury, but climatic conditions are gen.
orally against 1t for outdoor culture,
and has forced growers to resort to
glass.

odd Welsh Architecture

The old High street of Conway In
north Wales is characteristic Of Great
Britain in nothing more tnan in Its mix
ture Of architectural styles and chance
effects, says the Christian Science Mon
itor. Saxon, Norman. Flemish, Tudor,
early Victorian and a touch Of Gothic
are all shown in the few buildings here
represented. Could we see nor Of this
typically British High street, doubtless
we should find Queen Anne" in EVIL
dence somewhere; also late Victorian
and Neo-Georgian are well represented.
Town planning, as one SO often sees
it in other countries, was never quite
the custom In Great Britain. A street
in one of her towns represents very
much more than a mere page In her
history.

Sornber CoIora for Chfneae

One sign Of the leveling influence of
commercial atmosphere Is noticed In
the principal business centers of China,
where black and other somber and dig
nifed colors are now the Chinese bust
ness mans dress. Gone are the bril-
liant howery silks and satins that once
fitted among Chinese hongs and made
the Chimes business world 30 pIctur-
esque. China Is falling In line with
the world In a business way. Foreign
style clothing is becoming increasingly
popular, and even Chinese who still
cling to their native dress have adopt
ed the foreign taste of plain and dark
materials as their business color. In
Shanghai silks, sc long the synonym
In popular imagination for China, are
going out Of fashion for business wear.
Foreign imported woolens age gaining
favor. During the last four years
wooden imports have increased four
fold and silk merchants state that the
new taste is having a marked effect on
their trade. Here is evidence aplenty
for those who complain that business
Is driving all the art and color out Of
life.

What Party Consists Of

II wish to protest" writes a woman,
"against a habit of saying In every
notice Of a party that refreshments
were served OF course they were
served. If there had been no Eefresh-
ments there would have been no party,
for that is all the hostess thinks of,
and is the first and last thought in
the minds Of the guests. Some men
and women will stay out Of bed till
midnight, the men because they can't
help themselves and the women be-
cause they want to see what there
will be to eat, and the eating, which
doesn't appear before D:30, consists
Of a dab of ice cream, a fstfull of
cake and perhaps coffee to keep the
victims awake the rest eof the night.

EGsly Ship Lanterns
Valued BY Collectors

One of the phases OF the present
vogue for collecting anything connect
ed with the old-time ships is that Of
earnestly seeking their lanterns or
lamps, and very interesting and decora-
tive, with the right surroundings, many
Of them are.
Numerous lamps are traded as ships
lanterns which never went to sea, says
Capt. +. 4. Mccain in the Antiquarian,
New York. If. however, it is a good
looking lamp and the owner is pleased
with il. its history is perhaps not so
very important. but If one wishes to
be ~ure Of the right nautical flavor,
sOine recaution Is necessary.
An Intimate knowledge Of ships and
their ways is the best method OF dis
eliminating; but as a general index
1t may be stated that, to circumvent
the uneasy motion Of a vessel at sea,
every ship lamp is built. either to
swing from a handle or ring, or to Sc
curely fasten by the back, or, occasion
ally, by the base; within these limits
there are many types.
The very earliest ship lanterns were
metal cages erected In some prominent
part Of the ship, as a rule over the
stern, into which some combustible,
ouch as tow and resin, could be ignited
TO give warning TO another ship and
avert collision. This, In fact, Is the
only purpose, for exterior lights to this
day, and they are carefully screened
so as not to shine aboard, because any
light on the deck is only a nuisance,
so far as navigation Is concerned, and
even on the brilliantly lit modern
steamship It may be noticed that all
lights are screened from the bridge.
The frigates and ships-of-the-line
which followed in the Seventeenth and
Eighteenth centuries had very similar
ly designed lanterns, only more elab-
crate In their o-rnamentation and care
full In construction.
ANY Of these are, however, almost
impossible to obtain, and are more
suited to museums than to domestic
use. Those vessels would also use
cabin, gun-deck and other hand-lan-
terms, which again r extremely rare
though very desirable.

SEE GOOD AMI BAL
OMENS IN SNEEZE
East Indians SuperstitiOus
on the Subject.

Sneezing superstitions are found In
almost every country, but In none are
they so numerous as In India, says a
Calcutta writer.
In Scotland, for example, It is a
prevalent idea that idiots are incapa-
BILE OF ~sneezing, and that the power
TO do SO indicates the possession OF a
certain degree Of intelligence. In
Wales. sneezing is considered general
ly unlucky.
In India, the significance of a sneeze
depends very much on the circum-
stances under which 1t is heard. The
formula for calculating its significance
is as follows: Add the number Of days
between Sunday and the day Of the
week on which the omen has occurred
to the number of jaumans, lie. watches
(of three hours each), that have
elapsed since the daybreak on the day
In question, and subtract the total
from eight. If the remainder is one,
the ~sneezing portends harm from enc
mics; If two, it forbodes illness; II
three, fear Of starvation; If four, It
foretells receipt Of good news; If Ave,
the coming Of friends; If six, it indi-
Gates coming prosperity; If seven, II
indicates bad luck If eight, 1t fore
shadows. a great tumult.
These are for single sneezes. If the
sneezing which is to be interpreted is
a double sneeze the opposite Of these
viii happen. If 1t Is a series Of sneezes
1t Is all unlucky. AS a rule the sneez-
ing of men is suspicious for women,
and vice versa. But the sneezing of
a widow, or Of an armed man, or a
man with disheveled hair. Is always Of
evil import; as also that Of the cat,
COW, sheep, buffalo, or a number Of
women. But the neeze Of a woman
carrying a baby In her arms Is a fore
teller Of great riches. # another sneeze
when one is taking medicine, or ges-
ting in a vehicle, or taking a seat, OF
studying a book, o. planting seed, it u
a lucky omen.
A pious Brahmin always touches his
right ear when he sneezes, In order to
prevent the entry into the body Of evil
spirits. which are supposed to do SO
chiefly through the ears
It spOils ones peace Of mind to
think that whenever n one
is blasting the happiness Of another
man; or spelling the chances Of success
in his undertaking. The significance
of a white mans sn~eeze~n mas not yet
however been discovered, and included
in the lore Of Indian superEtitions.s

Happy Phrases Coined
BY UnLeffered Peraons

The best Of all word makers are the
unlettered. Professor Gildersleeve said
that the masses own the language.
Malherbe, the exquisite Partisan poet
and connoisseur Of words, frankly
owned that his masters Of speech were
the porters In the Haymarket.
When Roosevelt was a ranch owner
and had been telling trees with his
men, he happened to ovefhear one Of
them say, "Bill cut down ffty-three, l
cut forty-nine, and the boss he beav-
cred down seventeen"
Roosevelt, who always enjoyed a
good joke on himself went on, "Those
who have ever seen the stump Of a
tree gnawed down by a beaver Will
understand the exact force Of the COM
~parison."
We have always needed a word for
mistake as applied 60 action, and the
Maine guide has coined it, Robert
Haven Schaufleur writes, In the Cen
fury Magazine. When he runs his
canoe upon a rock or chooses a chan
mel with insufficient water, he makes
a "mis-go."
A %homespun New England philoso-
pher In southern California coined an
excellent verb. He was arguing that
sterling qualities Of heart are rarer
than those Of head. ooh, hi" he ex-
claimed, "why, you can just so out and
huckleberry for brains, but a heart Of
gold is as rare as a dingmaul."
And my hired man, a racy son Of
Cape Cod, once made a piquRnt adjec-
