THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, A Pit. 27, 1010. A MOVING PICTURE FEAT. Maklrv the Scens "The Parting of the Red 8ea." You'd bo surprised to know how re sourceful some of tho photographer aro today. There Is n film which hns lately been sent out nil over tho coun try that marks tho climnx In the art of motion plcturo faking. I don't hc llcvo ono man In a thousand who sees It will havo the least Idea how It wns done. It represents the flight of the children of Israel and give tho scene where Moses waved his wnnd and the Red sea parted. Tho man who took tho picture spent twelve hours on tho Rod sea section alone. Ho singled out a spot on the shore of Long Island where there was a sand bar which was out of water at low tide and under water at high. Uo started at high tide and took, say, a score of pictures of the sea as It look ed then. After fifteen minutes he reel ed off nnothcr twenty, and tlfteen min utes later ho did the same. Thus at tho end of six hours he hnd a film showing tho changes for every quarter of an hour. At tho end of that time the tide hnd receded so that the sand bar could be seen. Then he called In the supers and hnd them walk across the bar while ho took their picture. Thnt was only half of the work. Later In the day when the tide began to rise lie returned nnd began again to take a few pictures every fifteen minutes. At tho end of six hours tho water had risen to where It wns when ho begun. Wo had some doubt as to how I lie film would come out. Wo dld.i'i know whether the tide when photographed that way -would give tho desired effect of a sea parting and then closing up ngntu. But It did. I don't know of any lllm that looks more lifelike and wonderful. The wnves seem to rush apart for a minute and then back again, just ns described in the Bible. New York Post. Oregon's Lake of the Clouds. Ono of tho wonders of Oregon Is Crater lake, a remarkable body of deep water occupying the immense crater of on extinct volcano In the Cas cade mountains of thnt state, it has been suggested that this mountain wns once one of the loftiest In America, but that ages ago its summit fell in. The heart of the mountain is now oc cupied by a lake of exquisitely blue water whose greatest depth is 2,000 feet. The lake is six miles long by about four and a half miles In width and is completely encircled by pre cipitous walls vnrrylng In height from 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the water. The greatest elevation of the crater rim above sea sevel Is 8,200 feet. Out of the lake rises a volcanic cone called Wizard Island, 840 feet high. When It shall hnve been rendered easy of access Crater lake is expected to rank among the wonders of natural scen ery with the Yellowstone and Yosem ite valleys and tho Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Ilarper's Weekly. Passing of the Attic. Nobody would deny the picturesque ness of the old time attic. How many stories havo been woven about it! What tales of adventure and romance have explored It for its pervasive charm! And how many rainy hours have we ourselves passed pleasantly under its mysterious eaves! The farm house attic sheds a peculiarly agree able glow upon the childish memories of the country bred man. He recnlls its dangling ears of corn, its savory herbs, Its sense of peace and other worldllness. And yet It is well that the attic, even the farmhouse attic, should go, nnd it is going fast. In place of It is coming the third story, a light and airy part of tho house, an integral portion of tlio whole estab lishment. Providence Journal. Wages on the Panama Canal. Tho West Indian laborer Is paid 00 cents for a day of eight hours, with quarters. The European laborer re ceives $1.80 for eight hours, with free quarters. Tho standard rate for American mechanics Is C5 cents an hour in gold. Tho average compensa tlon received by American employees Is $150 per month. The average monthly compensation of laborers and others who are reckoned with on tho silver basis Is about $35 a month. There are approximately about 44,000 employees on tho Isthmus on the pay rolls of the commission, about 5,000 of whom are Americans. Tho Amer icans are mostly mechanics, skilled artisans, clerks nnd higher officials. New York American. A Comet's Tail, -i tall of a comet Is composed of existing in a highly rarefied con i n. Little particles of electricity, a "d corpuscles or ions, are being . H&.jntly given off at enormous speed 1- the sun. Each meteorite In tho comet's head Is surrounded by Its own rarefied atmosphere. When ono of these little Ions strikes one of tho molecules of gas In tho comet's at mosphere It curries it off with it to form tho tail. Tho electrical chargo makes the gas luminous, and It Is by this light and not by reflected sun light that tho tall Is mado visible to us. A comet's tall, therefore, seems to bo merely a very extended aurora. William H. Pickering in Century. Picture Postals In 1777 A long forgotten book entitled "Al manac do la Petite Posto do 1777" has Just been discovered, showing that even thus early tho picture postenrd flour ished in France at least. Tho almanac reports us follows: "Domanlson, the printer, has Introduced pictorial cards containing room for short announce ments or letters. These pretty cards aro sent through the post like letters at a cheaper rato and aro all the vogue." Baltimore News. r Of Merest to Women Why Wo Men Walt on Women? Chivalrous Instinct In Man Impels Him to Pass Through Three Stages When Confront ed with Woman. Irreverent persons suggest that man's only object In life is to plenso woman and to serve her. Slightly ex aggerated Is thlB statement, pcrhnps; yet there must ho some truth at tho bottom of It. Otherwise, why Bhould man w.iit on womnn at all? Why tako pleuwuro in being agreeable to her? Why go out of his way to assist her, In othor words, why should he bo chivalrous? C hivnlry Is the expression of man's real. Instinctive deference for woman. Although, like other Instinctive feel ings, it Is being modified or rooted up by education nnd civilization, the chiv alrous Instinct nevertheless still mokos Itself felt in modern man. It impels him, when confronted with woman, to paps through three differ ent stnges. In the first one ho strives to attract woman's attention; In tho second to please her; finally, to servo her. Tho unconcerned are highly divert ed lv the first. There Is no end to tho tl. a mnn will do to nttract worn ai.'z attention. Nothing is too absurd. Oao man found It necessary to spoil his patont-leather shoos. He was be ing rowed across n lake when a girl passed by in her ennoe. Without a moment's hesitation he plunged both feet Into the rippling water, letting thorn dangle there, stupidly. Other men use other methods; somo Imagine themselves the proud possessors of a voice and exorcise it; others whistle out of tune or twirl their mustaches. Still others grow disconcerted and forget where they aro going or lose the thread of their conversation. So much for the desire of being noticed. When it comes to pleasing women men are more particular. They then strive for personal perfection. Tho intellectual ones go about with poetry in their breast pockets and learn it by heart, ready to repeat it at tho first occasion. Or they dabble into art or literature or some "Ism" in order to acquire the correct pose. The more matter-of-fact puzzle over material things: whether their hair la partod in the right place; whether the red or blue tie will mako the bet-; ter lmpreesion. For men are vain and dress to please. Harper's Weekly. Unique Soap Holder. A peculiar contrivance, termed a soap holding device, is a recent inven-1 tion of a Chicago man. Its extremely simple construction Is shown In the accompanying illustration. It com prises a supporting arm, to which la suspended a chain and clamp, car rying a cake of soap. Obviously the supporting arm is attached to the washbasin so that tho suspended cake of soap will be directly over the wa tor. The supporting arm Is not sta tionary, but Is pivoted, in order that Uie soap can be dipped down into the water when necessary. The sanitary advantages of this soap-holder will be apparent at once. It does away with tho ordinary Bllmy receptacle employ ed for holding the soap. Tho soap hangs In a position of best advantngo to the user. Soap of any description can bo used, as tho supporting pin can easily bo pushed Into position. Wash ington Star. Travelling Milk Bottles. When travelling with an infant tho question of warm milk is a serious one, as cold milk often causes colic. Place a flannel cloth in tho bottom and nround the sides of a satchel or covered basket On this lay a hot water bag full of hot water. Fill the required number of nursing bottleB and put a fresh nipple on each ono over tho cork. (These corks must not he forgotten at feeding time.) Lay the bottles on tho bag and cover with tinothor bus filled with hot water. Placo a thick flannel over this, and the milk will keep warm all day. If too hot, a uot,tle may bo cooled at the wa ter cooler in the train or taken out of the satchel an hour boforo using. If this method is followed there will bo no sour nipples and uo disagreeable washing, as each bottle may be laid asido after being used. Scorched Clothes. If you should eooreh any colored goods, such as linen, percale, eto, dip Instantly In vinegar, then wash and rinse well. WOMAN AtiD FASllSDNiCHOICE MISCELLANY The Spring Hand Bags. Sealskin, suede, lizard, alligator, English morocco and cnnmelcd leather aro u.cd for the new bngs, which are more than ever popular this spring. Tho square ono hero shown Is of LATEMi J-UJIUX 1'ltOM 1'AltIS. brown seal, with machine stitched edges and a deep square llnp. The oblong purse bag Is of green lizard, mounted with gold. The matinee bag of cloth of gold, mounted on old silver, has a silver chain handle, decorated with black silk tassels, and at the lower edso of the picture is an aeroplane bag of brown nlllgator, with a self covered frame and a strap handle. It has a lining of glace kid and a glace kid covered vanity equipment. The Graceful Curve. The keenly observant will take note of tho subtle way In which the pain fully straight lines of last season have been changed into graceful curves. The new conts are far removed from tho cut that, predominated In the autumn and early winter models. Curved scams arc being Introduced, and variations of the lapels, fastenings nnd lower lines are very noticeable. Flounces and plaltings hnve Invaded tho realm of afternoon and evening costumes, while a decided fullness at the waist is evident. The mascullue coat sleeve is giving place to the slightly full shape of the coming jacket, and capes are actually promised for the attainment of the rounded effect. It is probable that the heroic attempts of femininity to keep down tho avoirdupois may be allowed to lapse, although it is hardly neces sary to add that the appreciation for curved lines Is not likely to be mani fested with any startling celerity. It is true that thero is a swinging of tho pendulum in tho opposite direc tion. Womauklnd must accept the verdict against the straight line and adapt just enough of tho curves to ap proximate the golden mean. Two Piece Sack. With spring's arrival ono Is apt to flud that the comfortable little wash able dressing sack has been over looked, and the first warm days find us either sweltering In tho wintei's leftovers or sporting the faded unrlb boned ones of' a preceding summer. Cropon at its thinnest and In white or faintly tinted colorings makes an ideal lounging jacket, as it is easily laundered and docs not even require Ironing. There Is a pattern with front and back cut in one, necessitating, of course, a seam cut down the center of the back and one under each arm, that is easily put together and quickly made. Its edges are hemmed all around. The seams under the arms are closed only to the waist line, and the back seam also is left open at its lower edge for added comfort about the hips. Its final finish is n narrow edging of liuen or Valenciennes lace, aud a charming garment Is made in a comparatively short time aud ut a very moderate cost. Two Spring Suits. Ono of tho new coats and skirts de cidedly smurt is in a charming shade of dull "box" trrceu braided very nar rowly with black in many Hues, with rows of tiny black braided buttons closely set iu groups In between. Au other coat aud skirt, though possessed of pluln panel front and buck, has quite a noticeable amount of fullness ut tho sides. Tho feature of tnls suit is tho arrangement of more and many small buttons, which aro arranged in circles where tho enormous button of last season would have been. This Is not especially utilitarian, but it is u novel arrangement. Embroidery on Pongee. Pongee frocks are now ready for tho last touch, which Is given by tho embroiderer, llaud work put upon this excellent surface Is never wasted, and tho very touo of tho pongeo Is tho ex act background for tho dull leaf green nnd old roso of tho conventional ruu nlng vino of tho Tudor roso design. This Is used successfully on tho aide opening of a plain Itusslan bloused house frock, and Its sections aro re peated in short strips nt Intervals on tho tunic's sldo opening. Tho work 13 fiat In effect, suggesting very llttlo padding. America and Art. America will still remain the groat buyer of tho finest and tnost costly things, tho prices of which nro set by the competition Of American fortunes, and these nlone. Nobody In Europe has yet dreamed of paying for a Van Dyck or a Itcmbrandt tho prices that havo been given, ns a matter of course, during tho last two years by a tram way magnate in Philadelphia and a steel mngnato and a dry goods mag nate In Fifth avenue. Twice only, by a gigantic effort, a public subscription In England hns defeated them and their brethren of whom there nre at least a dozen In tho case of the Ve lasquez mid tho Holbein. But such ex ertions can only be made at long in tervals, and It Is very rarely that a government can bo expected to take the burden upon Itself. The lesson of the Yerkes sale will probably be that It will be easy enough to buy back moderately good things at perhaps less than tho American collector has paid for them, but pictures like the llches tcr Iiembrniult and the Warwick Van Dyck havo gone and will not return. London Times. Halloa C-nct an Opportunity. The closj t Jlalley's comet will conic to the trt'i on this visit is about 14. 010,000 miles. On its last visit. In 183."., It approached as close as 5,000,000, but at that time tho earth was not in di rect lino with it nnd tho sun, conse quently its tall was not streaming to ward us. Astronomers hope that this visit of tho comet will enable them to determine absolutely the size of the nucleus nnd its composition. Comets arc composed of three parts the nu cleus, tho bend aud the tall. The nu cleus is the center of the head, and It Is known that tho head is of tho same composition as the tall, only denser. When comets pass between tho earth and stnrs It is possible to see tho stars through both the tall and tho head, which is ono proof that both are trans parent, but it has never happened that tho nucleus of a comet has been in such position between the earth and a star that the astronomers could tell whether or not the star would show through the nucleus as well as through the head. Popular Mechanics. Can You Speak "Ido?" An alleged Improvement upon the now widely known International lan guage Esperanto is the result of the labors of a subcommittee appointed by the international committee on arti ficial languages which met In Paris under the presidency of the famous chemist Ostwald In 1007. This new lnterlanguago is called Ido. It has Its dictionaries, grammars and read ing books prepared for the use of readers of eight or nine existing lan guages. It has been described as a "quintessence of European languages," and its advocates claim that it is simpler and easier to learn than Es peranto aud that many nre adopting it. Professor Otto Jespersen says it is a "purified Esperanto, freed from tho nrbitrary word coinages and word clipping of that language, its Illogical and Insufficient rules of word forma tion nnd Its clumsy alphabet" The Baseball Trainer. Each modern baseball team carries a trainer and usunllv durlnir the snrinc f trin nil iiR.ttatniit snva tlin A moi-lpim Magazine. Tho trainer is an expert masseur, something of a medical prac titioner, surgeon, nurse, osteopath, bat boy, assistant ticket taker, general all round man and the object of tho wrath of every player who happens to have a grievance. To Judge tho "snap" a trainer has, Bert Semmons, trainer of tho Chicago club, kept a record of his work last season. lie massaged an averugo of eleven men n day from March 1 to Oct. 10, somo of them morn lug, afternoon and evening; treated 181 cuts, wounds, abrasions, "sliders" (which means patches of skin torn off j in sliding), sprains and broken bones, i Including forty-two spike cuts, and his record shows he used nearly forty quarts of aseptic lotion. Pity the Poor Cowboy. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, tho food ex pert, said at a dinner in Washington apropos of tho meat boycott and the cold storage discussion: "Tho trend of modern llfo Boems on tho surface to bo toward preserved in stead of fresh foods, but thero is no such real trend save among certain dealers. "Who would like to bo iu tho boots of tho cowboy In tho barren sagebrush country, who used to send hi week after week tho same order to the store keeper: " 'Canamllk, canaoow, cauncorn, can abutter, canascrnpple, canncoru, caua ham, cannplums.' "Minneapolis Jour nal. Smoothness of Steel Plates.
