A frenzied woman on fire with re- -Hion, with a brace of revolvers strap-

over the man’s uniform she wore s she headed a mob of Sinn Fein riot-

} surging tnrough Stephens Green,ublin, urging them to battle—this is e picture of Countess Markievicz, te Irish rebel leader, drawn by Dr. fecil G. McAdam of ilelbourne, Aus- ■alia, when he arrived iu New York, faq doctor was one of eighty guests ydeged for six days in the Hotel Sliel- itirne, Dublin. Peering through one vthe hotel windows, its glass shat-

ired by the hail of bullets and its iements riddled with lead, he saw

ie rebel countess leading the attack.[ Her leadership,' the doctor learned, ’as supreme. In one'night of wild ghting, he was told, she shot downix o f her ow n follow ers for disobeying(er orders.

G allip o li S a fe b y C o m p a r iso n .[ Dr. McAdam is returning on sicklave after service tvith the British

qyal medical corps in the Gallipoli lampaign. He declared that he had

more narrot?’escapes in the Irish cap­ital than at the front.

When the fighting first broke out the doctor was walking in one of Dublin’s parks. At the first shot he saw dozens of transfer drivers desert their posts, leaving their cars standing in the streets. Most of them ran toward the riot center, drawing revolvers as they ran. The cars were many of them used later as barricades.. “I got back to my hotel just in time,’’

the doctor said. “There were about eighty guests there, among thorn I think, two. American actors. I do not remember their names.. :“Fqr six days, we were besieged by thes rebels and, during the height of thetlighting were^undetf constant fire.

^ iSffNpr-:

< . 'I*CouitteM Armed* in. Male Uniform.“Oountess Markievicz seemed to be

leading .the revolt. I saw her myself, dressed in man’» clothes, sunieuung like a uniform, ordering the rebel at­tack.* She had two big revolvers strap­ped on.

“We saw the burning of Sackville street—a terrible sight, but one of aw­ful beauty at night. A gunboat gut up the river as far as the custom house, and I watched it shelling Liberty hall. The destruction was terrible.

“They took many of the wounded to a monastery near our hotel. I man­aged to get out about the fourth or fifth day of the fighting and get over to help other physicians with the wounded. Even at the monastery we were constantly exposed to fire. I came closer to death there more timesthan I did a t th e Gallipoli front.”

Construction be­gan five years ago. The reservoir will feed an irrigation system that will wa­ter 185,000 acres of land in New Mex­ico, Texas and Mexico.

The dam blocks a canyon of the Rio Grande 120 miles north of Eh Paso. It is the fifth of the government's big ir­rigation projects and will store the en­tire flow and flood of the river. Tbe reservoir wilLJiold 115,000,000,000 cubic feet of water, which reclamation serv­ice experts say would cover the state of Delaware to a depth of two feet.

The dam stands 318 feet high and 1,674 feet long. I t provides a roadw&y across the canyon sixteen feet wide and at its base- is 235 feet thick.

FRAM ING PIC TURES.ItalyT h e A r t R e a c h e d I t s C lim a x In

( n t h e S ix te e n th C e n tu ry .I t is a significant sign of the unim-.

portance accorded to picture frame)} that in attempting any research on the subject one can only discover an occasional notice of some individual frame among a mass of detail compris­ed under the generic title of “Frames, Which rangesv from chimney pfeces/j door furniture and girandoles flown to the designs employed in book illustra­tion, called by the French “car­touches.”

Only in Italy was the art of picturi framing a fine art. and the exampli worth studying belong almost entire! to that eountry.

Picture frames are of comparative! modem origin, for daring the long per­iod of the middle ages such portable pictures as existed were inclosed wooden cases with doors and had, con­sequently, no frames, while mirro: were not yet in existence. It was n© till life became more settled and houses were considered in relation to peace as well as war that the custom began to prevail of placing pictures on' walls. They start, therefore, in thi fifteenth century, and are at the heighi of their perfection in the sixteenth.

From the earliest times Italian art­ists knew that for a painting to lightly appreciated it was necessa: to inclose it in a kind of surrounding. They knew, too, that i t could never a matter of caprice what thatparticuj lar surrounding should be, but that 1 must be chosen scientifically and wit! due regard to the effect of the paintin; on the spectator and of the whole as work of art.

It is only necessary to study the fin examples that are still In existenc

. from the best period of this art, whie! appears to have been exclusively Ita! ian, to realize that neither chance no] fashion entered into it. On the cdi trary, it was the outcome of an i: stinctive aesthetic sentiment of feelin for the beautiful In conjunction wi an almost scientific appreciation oj what would enhance the intelligent ti: derstanding of the ^picture. Whethe we look at them in their richness o{ their simplicity, we shall note that th structure of the frame was first cari fully studied and/idapted to its pu pose of suitably inclosing the pictui and that its subsequent enrichmem whether by modeling, gilding, painting or however, lost their native character^ and coming under French influence be­came more and more debased until all sobriety of treatment disappeared.— Scribner’s.

Ancient Barber’s Forfeits.Customers o f hair dressers at one

time were in danger of having to' pay a forfeit as well as their fee when en­tering the barber’s shop. Until half a century ago some barbers’ still kept a list of rules hanging in their shops— chiefly c o n c e r n in g swearing, seeking to be served out of turn, etc.—the penalty for breaking whieh was the price of a pint of ale. The antiquity of the prac- ice is evident by Shakespeare’s allu- »ion to it in “Measure For Measure:”

glancewould seem that the number waaSOOO.I But it is nothing of the sort; 999 is fa rf away too small. What, then, Is the] number? 99s—that is to say, the ninth] power of the ninth power of 9.

To ascertain what this number actu­ally is we must refer to a table of logarithms, for it Would take several lifetimes to do the multiplication. The number contains 389,093,100 figures. To write it out,we should have to ,fill2 3 volum es o f 800 pages each, w ith14,000 figures to a page, and the num­ber wopld be greater than that of; all| the atoms in creation.;

And yet this colossal number can expressed by three figures.

A Grievous Burden.“Just think!” exclaimed the humani­

tarian, “when a man enters prison be loses his identity and becomes simply a number.”

“Well,” replied the man In motor togs, “except for the fact that he is confined and has to do hard labor. I don’t see that he is much w orse off than I am. I not only have a number, but I ’m compelled to pay for it.”— Birmingham Herald.

A Statesman's Queer Ambition.The great Lord Grey had an ambition

far above politics. He passed the re­form bill, but that did not satisfy his soul. There was talk of Taglioni, and Grey said quite earnestly, “What wouldI give to dance as well as she!” The statesman who had been prime minis­ter and had left an indelible mark on the history of his eountry was envious of an opera dancer!—London Saturday Review.

Tame Silk.There is more silk in tbe world tha

the silkworm ever knew. As a matt^ of fact, much of the “silk” which, worn is merely guncotton in a niel dress. It is merely cotton dissolved,! a bath of nitric acid, kept water fire by the strongest vitriol.. The jellj like result is then forced through ver minutq tubes, and the fine threads produced are dropped into water at rendered innocuous by ammonium sul phide. This “tame silk” has a fine luij ter and has all the flexibility of worms’ work. In fact, so close is tiresemblance that it needs an exp$|to distinguish them.—London Chror cle.

FRANKLIN ORIGINATOR OF “DAYLIGHT SAVING” IDEA

After 132 Years His Gchemo Has Put Europe’s Clocks Ah. cad.

Once again a Yankee idea, apparent­ly ignored in the home, of its origina­tor, has taken root in Luro< e.

In Germany the clocks have nliv.nl/ been put ahead an Imur; h. En-,iai,d the “day Im lit saving' s h. m<> is ex­pected to bo approved by the house ofcommons and to go in; > o.;a t a! once, and in Frame the chamber has given the project a favorable v.de, and it re­mains only to be ratified by tho senate to become law.

One night in ITSd, during Benjamin Franklin's visit in Paris, he neglected to cFse the shutlers of his io<..a .aid the next morning v.-rs awakened by the light of the sun.

“If it had not been he wrote in a letter t which was not published until eleven years later. “I would have slept six hours longer, while the sun was giving its light freely, and accordingly in the evening I would have lived six hours longer by candlelight. ThF kind of light being much more expensive than sunlight, I made a few calculations aud found that the city of I'aris alone would save 00.075,000 j>ounds of wax, tallow and oil by using tho light of the sun during the six summer mouths in­stead of c andle'igh:."

Franklin proposed many measures to influence the French people to “cull day tiie time while daylight lasts." but it was not until the war came and daily expenses began being calculated by

•millions that the economic peoples of Europe—the Germans first—saw the advantage of advancing the legal time by one hour.

The new law will have at least one advantage—it will bring peace one hour sooner.

Rsyspues Inoraaamd 14.2 Psr Cent In 1 “ ight Month* pf Fiscal Year.

• Im m s e k r w a S f I t e r ;fiscal*-year the Revenues. oiiAinerKkih railroads amounted to $2,127,254,000. a gain of $177,090,000 oyer the same pe­riod in 1914-15. The figures are made public by the bureau of railway eco­nomics':

In February the operating revenue of American railways was $261,704,000, an increase of $56,815,000 over the preceding February. The revenue av-

- eraged $1,140 a mile of line. The oper­ating expenses were $183,077,000, an increase of $28,754,000. The net oper­ating income was $05,941,000.

If this rate of business keeps up tiie railroads will make a total net profit of more than $791,000,000, to be applied to dividends, rentals, interest on bonds, appropriations for improvements and new construction.

BARBERLESS BARBER SHOP.

Automat “Shaveteria” M a k e s H it W ith C h ic a g o a n s .

A barberless automat where persons in need of a shave can smooth their own faces and wash, perfume and pow­der themselves is making Chicagoans sit up and take notice. The barberless shop has juSt opened and is already p rov in g a delight to men who detest the ordeal of the barber shop.

This “shaveteria” or “chin automat,” as it has been variously styled, is a de­cided novelty. Small stalls are ar­ranged around a central plaza that con­tains a fountain which spouts hot and cold water. Here are talcum powder, perfumes and all of the other appurte­nances of a barber shop.

After the customer has shaved he throws 10 cents into a receptacle in the stall ancl marches forth. The man­agement guarantees a saving of time, tips and talk.

ONE TRIP PAYS FOR SCHOONER

Babcock’s Owners to Get $80,000 For Hauling Cargo of Rum.

A charter* which will return to the owners of the schooner Augustus H. Babcock $S0,000 for a voyage, or $3,000 more than the cost of construction, was closed in Boston the other day. This is believed by maritime authorities to he the highest charter rate ever paid for a sailing vessel of the Babcock's size, 1,299 tons net. She will carry a cargo of rum to the west coast of Africa.

The Babcock was built twelve years ago.

Asro Club of America Believes Con? test Will Stim ulate More for Aviation In National Defense— Route Not S e­lected, and Various Cities May offer Other Prizes to Contestants. ,

Plans for the first transcontinental aeroplane competition have been com­pleted by the Aero Club of America. I t will in all probability start in August.

A. first prize of $20,000 may be setaside by the national aeroplane fund for the aviator making the best time. Other cash prizes, which wiMr total about $100,000, will be raised by the club. A prize trophy to bo awarded to the winner of similar races held each year has been offered by Ralph Pulitzer.

Hawley Outlines Scheme.In sketching the plans for the compe­

tition Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero club, said:

“The value of the transcontinental competition will be thoroughly appre­ciated by the country at large, and we can rest assured of the co-operation of the numerous organizations now” help­ing the Aex-o Club of America to de­velop aeronautics for national defense and to -establish permanent landing stations for aeroplanes.

“Cities and organizations along the route as well as individuals will be in­vited to offer prizes. We are now awaiting word from a city on the coast* which may offer $20,000 to make that city the termination of the race. Other cities will offer between $5,000 and $10,000 for prizes in order to be made ‘controls,’ where the aviators will stop for twelve hours. The contest commit­tee suggests therefore that decision as to the route to be followed be post­poned until the plan is m.iJe known to all the cities, organizations and indi­viduals that may wish to co-operate.

First Prize May Be $20,000.“We hope that our appeal for prizes

will bring such responses that awards can be given as follows:

“First prize, $20,000: second, $15,000; third, $10,000; fourth, $7,500; fifth, $5, 000; sixth, $2,500; seventh, $2,000, and eighth, $1,500.

“If to these can be added special prices for the best time between large cities, mail carrying, longest sustained flights made and so on tho total amount will be so substantial that the militia, of every state and organisations co op-c erating will enter well e \ toys in the c omp eti tiqp prize-money to build:*] ments.”r;

STATE WIDE SPELLING BEE.

Champions of Every County In New York to Moot In Contest.

A huge spelling' bee which will take in the whole state of New York will end in a bal tie royal at the Syracuse state fair grounds, Sept. 12, when champions from every county in the state will compete for four prizes of $50 each. Contestants will be chosen at preliminary bees to be held in each supervisory district, and the winners will receive a free trip to the fair.

In a school bulletin just issued by the University of the State of New York 3.200 words are published, on which tbe candidates will be tried out. In an article entitled “Can We Learn to Spell?" tbe bulletin smashes the alibi of those who claim they have in­herited the inability to spell correctly. Some people, it admits, are "sharks” and after having seen a word once or heard it spelled never forget it. But these are very scarce. As for the rest of us:

“Do not assume that to acquire the ability to spell you must have some special mental gift any more than you would expect to learn geometry or Latin by a special gift. At the end of two months you will perhaps be sur­prised to find yourself a pretty good speller.”

Two sailing vessels—one the Marie of Troense, which was built in 1776, and another the Tvende Brodre of Marstal, built in 1786—have been rigged up and sent out to enter the competition for the enormous freight rates which are now being offered everywhere.

FATE OF THE CHILDREN WORST OF WAR’S HORRORS

Young Boys Drilled to Become Soldiers of tho Future.

Of all the world's children the mostfortunate are tho happy, c a r e free children of America. From the White sea to the Black, from the plains of Poland to the English channel children have watched the battles of this war with fear and shrinking, or have wan­dered homeless in tears and suffering.

Orphaned and desolate children, too little and too weak to speak for them­selves, have died by thousands, killed by hunger and cold and war.

Will the war spoil the kiddies? All over Europe play is c’l of enemies, hatred and crude brutality.

In Germany the schools are the sup­ply department of the army. The chil­dren are compelled by law to undergo physical training of semi-military char­acter. Said General von Wnchs. ad dressing 18,000 Berlin boy scouts: “You are reserved for the defense of the capital. Tho moment may come when the very exis'enco of the coun­try may depend upon you and lad's of your age."

The youth of France lias been t ailed to the colors. “We should bo guilty," urged the minister for war in the chamber, “if we did not prepare and drill these soldiers of tomorrow who may be called upon to snatch the llnal victory.”.

In England nonmilitary, compulsory service for boys is imminent. Iu the event of a-long war Ihe lads who are now. fourteen must presently .be re­cruits. No time is to bo lost iu or­ganizing a system of military training in the schools so Jttiat tliey inky be

Only nations in direct need draft their coming men. For the next twen­ty years there will be fewer young men in Europe than ever before. Al­ready the drain has begun,- and this is one of tbe unexpected ancl hideous re­sults of tho war.

REAL PATRIOTIC PIGS.

Harvard Man Hopes to Breed Them Reel, W hite and Blue.

The production of a national pig by blending red. white and blue bogs is the aim and th e promise of George C. Griffith, friend of August Belmont, Harvard graduate, one time manager of the Harvard Advocate aud origina­tor of th e Harvard Illustrated Maga­zine, who has given up the practice of law iu Boston so that he may spend all his time at liis^farm in Peabody, Mass.

The blue hog is Mr. Griffith's latest successful experiment. August Bel­mont named that breed the sapi ’.lire Bwine. Mr. Griffith's present purpose is to blend the red, the white and the blue Into a patriotic pig. He has on his farm 9,000 hogs of black, red. white and bhte colors. He has had so much success in the hog raising business that he has purchased farms in Salem and Wilmington. His live stock “ranch'’ the largest in the east.

MAKING FELT HATSThe Process From Raw Material

to Finished Product.

MANY B R A N D S O F FU R USED.

In gen iou s M eth o d s b y W h i c h th e Pelts

A r e C lean ed and tho V a r i o u s G r a d e sof H a i r A r e M ixed and W o r k e d Into

th e R eq u ired S h a p e .

One of the very interesting exhibits in the division of textiles of the Na­tional museum at Washington shows clearly just how such hats are made— from the fur to the finished product— and includes many of the latest and most popular styles ready to wear, as well as special shapes manufactured for particular foreign markets. The exhibit Is acompanled with photo­graphs illustrating scenes in the fac­tory of one of the largest and best known American hat manufacturers. These enable the observer to connect the materials, apparatus and' finished products shown into a tangible story.,

In the manufacture of one of the most popular brands of American hats the fur of North American beaver, South American nutria, Saxony hare and English and Scotch coney are used. When the pelts of those animals are received at the factory they are first washed with whale oil soap, after which the long, coarse hairs are re­moved, since they would tend to make the felt too rough. The skins are then treated with nitrate of mercury, a proc­ess called “carroting,” whlqh gives the fur its “feeling properties.” making it knit together when hot water and pres­sure are applied. Tlie skins are then brushed by a machine which removes all the dust and other foreign sub­stances.

The skin next goes to a cutting ma­chine, where revolving shears strip away the fur, cutting it so close that it appears to have been shaved off. From this machine the fur is carried away on an endless belt or apron, on which it lies complete, just as it was in the pelt, and it is hard to realize that the skin below lias actually been removed. This is to facilitate the work of the sorters who select from the belt as it passes them just the parts desir­ed for various grades of hats. The sorting is according to color and qual­ity, each sorter selecting a different part, such as the side or back, suitable for a particular grade of hat.

Although cleaned, earroted and sort­ed, the fur is by no means- ready for use. I t has to be seasoned, just likelumber, and ia stored until ready lfotuse. Some manufacturers have a mil­lion or two dollars’ worth of fur sea­soning! in storage. When the fur is properly seasoned it is mixe'd in cer­tain proportions to produce the desired texture and color, and from here on the work is not done mechanically but by hand, being mainly a question of art and skill. - After various portions of different kinds of fur have been se­lected the actual mixing is done by a machine which blows them about in various compartments until the blend­ing is perfectly even.

A certain amount of fur is then weighed out, according to the weight of the hat to be made, and blown upon a copper cone perforated with many thousand tiny holes, so that It looks like a sieve. The cone is about three feet in height and as wide at the base. An exhaust fan operates inside and below the cone so that the air and fur are drawn from the outside. The uir passes through the openings, but the fine particles of fur stick and cov­er the whole surface.

The cone holding the film of fur is inclosed in a snugly fitting jacket and lowered into a vat of boiling water. This develops the felting properties of the fur, the particles of which mat and lock together, enabling tbe thin, deli­cate film of wet fur to he lifted from the cone. The resulting cone of fur is a very delicate embryo hat, except as to size; in that respect it might be the hat for a giant.

A bundle of about twelve of these large forms is rolled in a wet condi­tion until the fibers knit together slightly, giving the hats hardness and strength. Then they are put into n sizzling kettle, where they are shrunk in hot water, beaten and manipulated until they are between ten and four toon inches in diameter. Each; lint is then stretched, pulled and blocked with the aid of liot water until it takes tlie form of a regular hat with crown and brim.

If the hat is to be a soft one it has only to be placed on a block and fin­ished with fine sandpaper, which gives it a velvety appearance. The outside band and binding and tlie sweat band are then added, after which the brim is curled.

Stiff hats, or derbies, are saturated with a solution of shellac before they are blocked. They are then put into an oven until they become pliable, when they are blocked with a tre­mendous pressure on a mold w h ic h shapes and curls them at one opera­tion. Following which they are lined and trimmed.

WEARING EVENING CLOTHES.

A C h ic a g o V i e w of the Q uestio n F r o m a M a s c u lin e V ie w p o in t .

Citizens of the older towns where it is customary for men of any social pre­tentions whatsoever to wear formal evening clothes after 0 in the after­noon often reproach Chicagoans for not following this time honored cus­tom. They are never satisfied with the* explanations given, because these ex­planations are rather evasions and do not explain anything.

As a matter of fact, although nearly every Chicago man knows why his “full dress” accumulates dust and sus­tains moths in the dim recesses of the closet, he does not realize that his rea­sons are the. reasons that consign the glad garments of his fellow men to a similar desuetude. It may be just as well to get together and confess.

If one could make a formal evening dress map of Chicago one could show several small, well defined areas in and about the city where the open faced waistcoat and spiketailed coat are necessary, or at least permitted. In the loop., about theaters and fashionable hotels, such garments are worn with­out misgivings, and in certain narrow­ly prescribed residential districts one may flit from house to house in the raiment of joy without danger. But if one essays to go from one ot these haunts of fashion to the other, except in a taxi, one is likely to run a gantlet of ribald comment that will leave him a nervous wreck when he reaches his destination. j

Our Chicago democracy is very , young, newly come into a knowledge I of its privileges and enthusiastically ! hostile toward anything that remotely resembles an assumption of class or caste; hence through the vast tx-acts it inhabits and that separate the dress suit areas one from another the man who essays a pilgrimage openly in the despised garments of idleness invites reprisals.

If the fashionable men of Chicago who wish to maintain the fashionable tradition, yet cannot afford taxicabs, will get together they may develop enough strength to persuade the trac­tion companies to supply for their even­ing travel sufficient closed and armored cars, running at appropriate intervals. Otherwise they must take their chances, as other adventurous Ameri­cans do.—Chicago News.

DRAWING A STAR.T r y in g , It T h i s W a y Is S a i d to B * U

F u n n y a s a C ir c u s .When your party is not making prog­

ress enough to suit you try the follow­ing on them: Take a large sheet of plain paper and draw a five or six pointed star on it. Have the star about ten inches wide from point to point. Then-draw another star on the outside of the first one, so that a spaceo f ab ou t h a lf an in ch is l e f t between the two stars all the way around.

Then provide yourself with a hand mirror and a book. Place the paper flat on the table. Put the book end up on the side of the paper nearest you. Take the mirror and place it on the opposite end of the paper. Then look­ing into the mirror you should be able to see the whole star. Having pro­vided yourself with a pencil, fix it oil a spot inside the two lines of the star and proceed to draw another star on the inside the two lines b.v looking only at the star througli the mirror.

The book is simply used to prevent your eyes dropping down to the draw­ing itself. If your pencil goes outside the lines or inside you have lost your turn.

Try it out and see what you can do. Some say it can be done, and others say it can’t, but whether it can or can’t has iittie to do with it; it will fur­nish enough amusement to keep a crowd convulsed for an hour.—Cleve­land Dispatch.

W h a t Is Good W a t e r ?Good water is colorless, clear, free

from suspended matter, of brilliant lus­ter and free from smell or taste. Bad water may sometimes meet all these specifications and yet be full of germs. Rainwater is good; so is water from clear ice or from springs, lakes, large rivers and streams in uninhabited dis­tricts.- Rainwater from polluted sur­faces is bad: so is the water from snow ice, small pbnds, streams and well; in inhabited places. Marsh water is bad, and streams below towns are almost certainly full of germs and sewage.-- Outing.

ALASKA’S COAST LINE.

L o n g e r T h a n tho D is t a n c e R o u n d th e W o r l d a t th e E q u a t o r . }

Have you any idea of the extent oic the Alaska coast line? The shores of) the territory are washed by three great1 oceans. These are the Arctic ocean onl the north, Bering sea on the west and! the Pacific on the south. The Aleutian! islands, off the Alaska peninsula, are! separated from each other and the mainland by a network of rocky straits, and much of southwestern and south­eastern Alaska is made up of moun­tainous islands that have rocks of all shapes and sizes. The islands are real­ly the tops of mountains-Jialf lost in the waters. They risein spires and ca­thedrals^ some of ,which are thousands of |eet above the water Add otJ^erghid- den beneath it,/lyiag; -there concealed, and ready to rip open the hulls of Ships! as the iceberg of the Atlantic ripped the Titanic.

The extent of the Alaska coast with its windings surpasses that of the United States proper. I t is greater than that of all our states On the Pa­cific from Puget sound to the bound­ary of Mexico added to that of our states on the Atlantic, including the gulf. All told, it is more than 2G.00C miles long, or longer than the distance around the world at the equator, and iu proportion to its length it has perf haps more dangers than any other coast line on earth.

Nevertheless not one-half of it has yet been sounded by the coast survey vessels, and more than half of the gen­eral coast line is not marked by lights or by any aids to navigation.—Chris­tian Herald.
