Dorothy Hazel McCoy's "Description of a Person" was applauded more heartily than per haps any other number offered, because, until almost the last word, the large audience thought she was describing a member of the class, but when the name was mentioned, and found to be that of a prominent teacher, well known, the uproar became almost deafening. John William Grimes, who had at tended a sesgion of the legislature just recently, gave a vivid description of how the sights impressed him. The speaker of the evening was the Rev. A. K. Wier, pastor of Centenary United Brethren church.

Usuully they prove to be for the attack on some enemy. Thoreau speaks of the crows "burst ing up above the woods where they were perching like the black fragments of a powder mill Just exploded." When they are gathered for war purposes their cries will lead you to the spot where they are fighting, and these same bursts of black fragments above the trees, usually following an especial uproar of cawing, wili direct you to the center of the battle. Waiter King Stone, the illustrator, and Charles Livingston Bull have told me of a mobilisation they once wit nessed, when the crows gathered for hours and the two observers were able to penetrate the woods to the exact spot beneath the feathered explosions. There they found a great horned owl flying low in the trees with a- dead crow in his talons. Whether this wns the original cause of the battle or whether he had grabbed the crow in one of the descents of the birds about his head they, of course, could not say. He was evidently struggling to find a dead tree where he could <take refuge. He was saved probably by the coming of night Crows have even been known to at tack foxes, as Winslow Homer's paint ing is the most famous witness. A farmer near my home who has observed crows for many years and has the reputation of knowing more about tbem than any one else In the neighborhood tells me that almost In variably in his experience the cause of a large mobilization is either a big owl or a hawk. The little screech owls are also attacked, but by leaser num bers. He has also personally seen the crows attack a fox while it was cross ing an open field, and once he watched a flock of nearly 100 crows worrying a Skye terrier dog, which was so thor oughly tl'lgbtened that It was running In circles. 1 have seen crows attack a cat also, but the cat always is wise enough to make for cover.

I ' UNCLE SAM'S FINE EXHIBIT. Tho National Muiaum at Washington Shows tha Firat Cruda Machines Made aa Well aa Originals and Mod af tha Firat Locomotives. Probably no museum collection In tba world better Illustrates the develop ment of the steam engine, particularly the locomotive, than the exhibit of tha United States Natloual museum at Washington, which includes two of tba earliest original locomotives and nu merous, models and accessories. The history of the steam engine is a materialistic romance without parallel In the record of human achievements. It covers the stupendous and persist ent efforts of many early philosophers and mechanics who found steam a mysterious uncontrollable force and left It a comprehensible controllable factor of public service. No one knows how long after it was observed that by holding down the lid of a kettle of boiling liquid a certain force was created, due to the com pression of the steam, before any use was attempted with this newly discov ered force. It is certain, however, that a sort of steam engine was exhibited in Alexandria. Egypt, about 200 years before our era began, and it was de scribed in a work on pneumatics by Hero of Alexandria, written between ISO and 130 B. C. This machine was a rotary affair, more theoretical than practical, as were many of the result* of philosophy in those days. A recon struction of this engine in model form is in the museum exhibits. I Nothing more Is to be found concern- I ing the steam engine for centuries, a | fact which is no doubt due to the lac* ; of interest in anything which did not ' have to do with war or warlike imple ments. A book published in Home In 1029 gives a description of Giovanni ■ Branca's crude steam engine, showing it to have been an elementary steam turbine, with the sole defect that it lacked any appliances for making the steam follow the vanes, or buckets, of i the revolving wheel, so that more of Its energy might have been converted i into useful work. One author in a treatise on locomotives claims that had some 'genius improved upon this early i device the reciprocating engine would probably never have been Invented, but that we would have had the advantage I of our modern turbines much sooner. The museum possesses a model of a very early machine designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1680 which was pro pelled by a Jet of steam projected backward against the air and a model of Denis Papln's invention of about the same time. The investigations of | Savery and Papin and the successful experimental engines of Thomas New comen in 1705 with his piston and I cylinder soon followed. Newcomen's j ideas were improved by Jp.mes Watt in ' 1709, who also introduced the high pressure engines, the condenser and . later the double acting engine. The development of the engine was advanc ed by Cugnot, Evans. Hornbloww and j Murdoch. A model of the latter's en gine is on display In the museum. As the result of a wager made by a resident of Merthyr Tydfil, an impor tant iron town of South Wales, that he could convey a load of iron nine miles by the power of steam alone Richard Trevitbick made the first en gine to run on rails in 1803 and won the wager for his employer the next year. Trevtthick, it has been claimed, copied the stationary engine built in 1800 by Oliver Evans, an American, who was later ingenious enough to at tach wheels to a scow and propel it by steam through the streets of Philadel phia In 1804. This curious creation, called the Oruktor Amphlbolls, was the first motorcar to run on American soil A model of Trevithlck'a engine Is to be seen In the National museum, as Is also the model of the engine em ployed by John Stevens in 1825 and his original tubular boiler. Other mod els Illustrate nearly all the types which begitn to put in their appearance soon after 1826, when the Stourbridge Lion was built in England and ship ped to America, where It was the first engine to run on full sized rails. The museum possesses not only the model of this historic engine, but the orig inal engine itself. The other original full sized locomotive to be seen in the museum is the John Bull, built by George Stephenson &. Sons of England and shipped to America for use in 1881 on the Camden and Amboy railroad. It is Interesting to recall that this old relic of early railroading in America made a round trip under Its own steam In 1803 from New York to Chicago, where it was exhibited at the World's Columbian exposition. Among the models of early and his toric locomotives are George Stephen son's Rocket, which was built in 1829; the B. and O. engine Tom Thumb, built by Peter Cooper in 1829; the grasshop per type engine Arabian of 1831; the Best Friend, used in 1830-1; Baldwin's Old Ironsides, constructed in 1832; the Sandusky. built in 183T, and models of engines made by Asa Whit ney in 1840 and G. A. Nlcholls in 1848. Besides the two locomotives and the numerous engine models, there are in the exhibit coach and car models, sections of rails, spikes, wheels and models and parts of valves, pistons and other early accessories pertaining to locomotives and rallronds. Perhaps the Germans at Ypres meant to shoot those Canadians full of holes anyway and thought it more merciful to put them into a "twilight sleep" first. Early crop cucumbers at 12 cent* apiece suggest that an extra early crop sprung on the market would take the edge off from the truckmen's greed. 73PERIS0INR.fi. « HORROR IN ENGLAND CsatlssM Freat Firat Pas*. Glasgow crashed into them. The re sult was 1 terrifying. Locomotives and cars, shattered and splintered, were hurled about in confusion. Fire <broke out and spread with great rapidity through the wreckage. It was soon burning so fiercely that the men engaged in the work of rescue were driven back. There was nothing to do but wait' for the eoming of the fire brigades. These were brought up at all possible speed. Once on the scene they labored frantically to control the flames. In the end they were successful but beforo the fire was put out many of the trav elers pinned under the wreckage of the cars and unafole to make their escape were burned alive before the eyes of the helpless onlookers. Five hundred men of one regiment were on the troop train. When the roll was called after the wreck only fifty-two officers and men responded. Numbers of others, however, were en gaged in caring for their wounded com rades. Some of the victims were no mang led that their rescue from tho wreck age was impossible. Beveral others who were extricated died soon after. Doctors performed heroic services, braving tho flames in their efforts to help those pinned in the tangled mass es of wood and iron. One physician, Dr. Edwards, responded to the appeals of two soldiers who were imprisoned by the legs. Facing the scorching flames, he amputated both legs of one soldier and one leg of the other, and this method offered their only hope of es cape. One of the soldiers died from the shock. NEW PRINCIPAL'SEES RED' IN OVERCROWDING PROBLEM Professor Dibble Tells School Board He Is Pleased With Everything In Con nection With His New Position, Ex cept the High School Building Professor Howard G. Dibble, new principal of the Central High School, in a speech before the School Board last night declared that he "sees red" for the pupils when he contemplates the overcrowded conditions of the building. He expressed the hope of' being able to do something to relieve the congestion. He thanked the board for his election and said he is pleased with the city and with the Bchool, es pecially since he has met the faculty and students. "I am pleased with everything but the building," he said, "and you can not expect me to be enthusiastic about that. I am beginning to see red, for the pupils in the cramped 'quarters, are not getting the chance they ought to have." Professor Dibble's desire is to iiave a structure better than the Technical High School building, he said. The new principal took up his new duties at the Central High School on Monday. It was decided to place the new Tenth ward school house, at Tenth and Mahantongo streets, well back from tKe street to give room for a park. Holiday on London Stock Exchange By Associated Press.

GIRL GRADUATES Ket the Favored Fabric for Her Frock Empire, Bodice or Bolero Fashion Flowers Introduced for Oolor New York, May 22. The question of the graduation dress is always perplexing. Here girlhood and womanhood meet, but the girl must yet be kept the girl for the one day of days when she receives the bit of parch ment, which seals her school life. In this season of revived fashions and fabrics, the problem simplifies itself to some extent, for all styles are youth ful. One need only visit the large stores to appreciate the variety offered in these frocks. La, la, you fair maidens, wrestling with the quibs and questions of your last examinations, you should foe with me in the great metropolis! On the spacious fourth floor of a house, devoted solely to the needs of the girl, there are mahogany cases, filled with frothy white dresses, stretching away row after row, like the battalions of an army. It is seldom you find so large an assemblage of frocks for one pur pose, anil age, collected in one place. Here you can be outfitted from tip to toe, with the style and suitability of the garments assured. © MOCiia Sj 1 \ V A Pink Rose Above the Hem Gives the Graduation Dress of Net and Taffeta a Touch of Color At first glance, it seems the whole graduating world is to be gowned in net, so completely does the fabric domi nate the collection. No doubt, it is the extremely full skirt that brings this material so noticeably to the #bre; but regardless of the cause, the effect is charming in the quaint Empire, bodice and bolero dresses, showing features from old fashions such RH short, puffed sleeves and narrow ruffles. Valencien nes, filet and imitation Irish crochet, repeated again and again in the trim ming, reminds one forcibly of"the time ly revival of these three laces. There are frocks, too, where heavy embroid ery is used in the ornamentation; others edged with half-inch shirred ribbon, and here and there a model touched with taffeta. One frock in particular of the last type has the new laced front bodice, rippling peplum, and applied hem of the silk. The guimpe, showing above and between the lacings of the bodice; the sleeves, puffed until they resemble toy balloons and the skirt, with its entire width gathered in at-the waist, are of net. A half-blown rose of delicate pink, tacked above the hem, gives a touch of color, which makes the net and taffeta seem the purer white for the contrast. It might be well to add here, while speaking of the rose, that all the frocks have this bit of color and are named according to the flower they show. The model mentioned above is the rose dress; the Marguerite frock has a chain of daisies around the waist and the pansy dress, a corsage bouquet of deep purple pansies as the name implies. These touches and trimmings are also carried out in frocks of other fabrics; introduced, ]>erhaps, to diversify the net models or for the few who do not care for such transparent material as the net. As the styles themselves hint of old time fashions so these textures, have their origin in the modes of from 1840 to 1850, Sheer Swiss, plain and em hroidered, batiste, point d'esprit or gandy and dimiiv show to goo<T effect with ValencienneH lace. Only two reallv modern materials are used and these are cotton crepe, and voile. Since so many of the schools have set the limit of three dollars for the cost of the frock, the stores also feat ure inexpensive fabrics by the, yard, the goods draped on forms to show the various styles in which to make it up. There aw* dainty cross-barred dimities; Swisses, plain and embroidered batistes, voiles and crepes for twenty cents a yard; nets at forty cents come seventy iwo inches wide. The dotted Swiss is unusually attractive as one draper ar ranges it, in an Empire effect. The trimming is suggested, too.

Primness, the chief charm of the frock, i» again in evidence in the broad girdle of moire ribbon, brought straight around the Empire waistline and fin ished at the back with a flat bow and long streamers. Gloves, for the graduation frock, Hre generally of plain silk. Many well-to do mothers are buying their daughters' silk gloves in place of the formal white kid; the effect is more girlish and they are much cooler for warm weather. To be .cure there are fancy models shown and in good taste, too". A silk glove, pin tucked around and around the wrist, a half-inch apaTt, or delicately embroid ered, mpy he worn; the new lace gloves, too, is perfectly appropriate for the girl grad nate. The medium heel on the shoes is another feature of the fashions shown for graduation that the mother, at least, will like. These appear, slightlv curved in the approved French style,"on slip pers of white kid with colonial buckles and on white satin pumps with flowers in front to match the flower of the frock. This makes one think that the makers of slippers and the makers of frocks have held some secret sessions this season. Nor are the styles confined alone to white; black patent leather is considered equally appropriate for the graduate, especially if worn with white stockings. There is a pretty model shown with flat heel and crossed laces of ribbon, which brings to mind Crino line days, when tiny slippered feet peeped from beneath the folds of the hoop skirt. The Day of Days Demands a Simple Girlish Frock, Such u the Empire Now in lashion The simplicity of the fashions al lows but little jewelry. Such touches as a string of pearls, a torquoise locket, or a heavy gold bracelet, are employed to give the desired old-time atmosphere. The hair, however, is decidedly modern, but so artistic that it in nowise spoils the quaiutuess of the costume. The bobbed effect is the most .popular coiffure for the young girl. This may sound as if the younger generation are recklessly cutting off their hair; do not be misled for such is not »ne case. Some clever Miss lately conceived the idea of combing her hair back straight in front, low over the ears and wind ing it in a loose coil in back. Her friend copied it and now all the young girls have the effect of the Castle clip without the "clip" and the originator of the fad, who cut her hair close, envies them their long tresses. Since the first girl wound her hair in this knot in back, so many have adopted the mode that pins have been especially designated for the knot. They consist of a single straight spike with ball or slender triangular top of amber, jet or tortoise shell. Poignards, the French call them; in plain English they are dashers. One of these pins will hold the knot firmly and is a fitting finish for a young girl's coiffure; more, Dame Fash ion taboos as poor taste.
