Machines
We do not talk Sewing Machines very often, the fact
being that our machines do their own talking, and
sales are ever on the increase. However,
Spring
Sewing Time
I near, and as inquiries for these celebrated machines
ot ours are more numerons than they have been in a
long time, we have come to the conclusion that the
people ought to know something about them.
Our
Sewing Machines
i... ..
Are not of the regular Department Store pattern. We
challenge the trade to produce a better raachi ne,viewed
..from any standpoint you will, than we offer. Its cabi
net work speaks for itself at a glsuce, but what is of
more importance is
The
Machine Itself
It is made by the largest and best known firm in the
world, and is a duplicate of their best machine in
everything except the name. Because it lacks this
you get it here for about forty per cent, of what it will
cost if you insist on having the name otherwise there
is no differeuco. If in the market for a machine, bring
an expert aud look ours over. Every machine sold i3
guaranteed by us aud the makers in exactly the same
way as the highest priced machine built.

Little Pacific Island Which Disap
peared Again Comes Into View.
Horn the New Yoik Sun.
Falcon Inland, which early hist year
was reported to have completely tlls
appp.ared hoenath the waves of tho
Pacific, Is arjaln showing Its tlat sur
face above the water. Tnc life history
of this spec!: of liiml has been unusual
and Interesting. A cable dispatch from
Kuropci printed In April last year said
that after a brief life of fourteen yeats
Falcon Island had ceased to exist. It
was thought that no trace of It would
ever be seen again. Hut Mr. Vosslon.
tho consul general of Trance In the
Tonga group, announces that Com
mandant navcuhlll, of the cruiser Por
poise has returned to those Islands
from a cruise In the Pacific with the
news of the rc-emrrgence of Falcon
Island. lie; says that tho highest part
of the Island Is now about sixteen ieet
above sea level.
The Island was formed by a great
volcanic eruption at the bottom of the
soa In 1SS5. It took the waves and
storms of tho ocean fourteen yeats en
tirely to obliterate It. Mr. J. J. Lister,
who visited tho island a short time be
fore It disappeared, said that It was
rapidly being torn to pieces by the
action of thej waves. Unless a freih
volcanic outburst occurred ho thought
tt would soon disappear. His predic
tion came true and a steamer that vis
ited tho place about tho beginning of
last year reported that not a trace of
it was lo be found above the water
level.
The island was built up In the neigh
borhood ot the Tonga group about
thirty-live miles from tho Island of To
fooa, A sttbmailne volcano had reared
from the bottom of the ocean a mighty
mass of ejecta and on this foundation
rested the outpourings which rose
abovo thn water. The Island consisted
of two distinct parts. One of them
was a hill of gentle slopo and wide
babe, whoso height was lT-Ms feet. On
one side the hill ended abruptly In a

Sven Hedln found them to be fresh.
From thin lie concuded that the lake
could not have been long In exist
ence.
Thu Impossibility of teconclllng tho
observations of his predecessois with
whnt he had himself seen also aug
geteel that Lob Nor was not a perma
nent pheet of water, like the Dead Sea
or Lake Ualkhash, but was constantly
shifting its position, the lake bed nt
one time being filled up with desert
sand, nnd forming again In new places.
Tho correctness of Ills original Infer
ence has now been placed beyond
doubt.
The lake known to earlier observers
ha.s now disappeared, und Its dry bed
Is strewn with shells nnd other organ
isms which had lived In Its waters.
Hut a. system of new lakes has been
formed around tho old basin, which
Dr. Sven Hedln has explored and map
ped. The Tarlm basin Is a barren and
dry land, a region of traveling waves
of desert sand. All this ttact has been
drying up. probably continuously,
even In historic times. The same thing
Is true of western as well as eastern
Turkestan. Lake Ualkhash Is disap
pearing with compatatlve lapldltj-. Ac
cording to the Uus.sl.in geographers.
Its area has been greatly diminished
during the present century, and those
who dwell by Its shores assert that
Its level Is lowered at the rate of a
foot In every live years. Hut the same
thing Is true of the Syr Darla and the
Amu Darla and the Aral Sea, Into
which their waters arc emptied.
Ill fact, the whole drainage basin of
this sea and of the Caspian Is under
going desiccation, slow but sure. These
two seas, with many minor salt lakes,
are but polos left In the deeper hol
lows of a great ocean by which the
Mediterranean was extended into the '
heart of Asia. There arc banks of
dead senshells where once tho waves
weie breaking: thete are dry steppes
whero onco the herbage was green and
forests tlmulshcd. The fact Is cer
tain, but the causes not easy to ells
cover. The climate must be changing,
not in this or that locality, but over a
broad and extensive zone, which runs
with little interruption from northern
Africa to tho eastern cntl of the desert
of Gobi. A slmll.11- change has oc
curred In the new world. The Great
Salt Lake of Utah Is but a remnant
of a vastly greater sheet of fresh water
which onco set a river to tho Pacific.

Simple Directions for Making Good
Use of Water and Towels.
From the NcwYor V. Herald.
Thero la nothing for i-cvero we.irl

bathtub. Fill It two-thirds full of
water as hot as you can stnnd. A good
way to determine how hot It should
be Is to put the elbow down Into tho
water to test It. Of course, the fingers,
or oven the hand, foim no test at all.
Pour a tablt-poonful ot ammonia Into
the water, fter about eight minutes
soaking In this, spray or sponge tho
skin with cold water quickly and tub
drv with a lough towel.
If soto or i.nno from over exertion,

wus entirely destitute of any vegeta
tion save for a half-dozen seedling
plants that had found lodgment there.
It will not be strange If the Island Is
torn to pieces und nguln disappears

reappearance now Is doubtless duo to

AN OLD ASIATIC OCEAN.
Inland Seas That Are Drying Up Ae
Remnants of It.
a enilouH discovery made by Dr.Sven
Hedln, tha Intrepid Swedish explorer,
is lecorded In a telegram from St. Pe
tersburg, which wo publish this morn
ing, says the London Pally News. Dur
ing his adventurous Journeys In east
ern Turkestan, Tibet and Mongolia,
ended some two years ago, he visited
tho great sheet of water called Lob
Nor. This ho found to differ material
ly from tho maps and descriptions of
previous observers, and ha has now
examined it a second time. It Is sit
uated t other more than 2.000 feet abovo
tho sea level. Its waters are fed hv
the Illver Tarlm, but emptied only by
favored Is an lee packing. "When vou
aio prewiring freely, nnd are "waim
all tho way thiough," you 111 e In tho
best shape to step Into water as cold
as you can got.
The feat ot "shock" Is only a mean
ingless tradition, uo for as heilthy per
sons aut concerned. Of toutst, a "vic
tim of heurt disease will do well to
keep out of Ice water, 'and old and
1 coble folks must bo careful. It W
sulci thui no case of Inflammatory
rheumatism has ever developed where
thy patient for a series of years had
taken a cold bath every day
Thu light method Is In thst wet tho
head and neck and splash tho shoul
ders -vvllh the cold water. Then It is
mfo for almost evcr.vbody to take tho
pinnae. In warm wouiiier ono fin
stay In the water a, tew minutes, uuc
III winter the best plan Is to get out
as soon as possible. "Cold' said to
have been produced by cold baths aro
generally the result of "standing
around" In chilly ulr. Tho rubbing to
restore the circulation . Is too mucn
of a fad, and takes up too much lime.
F.ven If you drpss beforo tho skin Is
thoioughly dry no harm will ba done.
Whatever moisture Is left will quick
ly evaporate. The main thing la to
get Into your clothes as soon as you
can.
One physician who believes In tho
cold bath says that only one caution
Is necessary. "Never enter cold water

your breathing Is normal. Tempera-
