made of dark blue serge with the col
lar and shield of white and banding of
black over white, but the model is a
favorite one for llneu and similar
washable materials as well as for
serge, flannel and the like, and it is cor
rect In white as well as in color, so
that many varieties can be made.
White flannel and white pique are pe
culiarly charming for the real warm
weather, and while they have the
disadvantage of soiling readily, also
can be cleansed easily and success
fully. The dress consists of the blouse and
the skirt. The blouse is drawn on
over the head, there being only a slight
opening at the front, and is finished
with a big sailor collar, beneath which
the shield is attached. It can be faced
to form the yoke or left plain as pre
ferred. The sleeves are the favorite
ones that are gathered at the shoulders
and tucked at the wrists. The skirt is
cut in seven gores and is laid in a
pleat at each seam, which is stitched
for a portion of its length, pressed into

A little simpler was a white linen
gown with Irish lace. The skirt had
pin tucks over the hips and was tight

three hemstitched tucks, and below
was a broad stripe of lace quite twelve
inches deep. This was not an insertion
but a wide lace with an edge. Below
it were two hemstitched tucks and

three tucks. The short bolero Jacket

The fancy shirt waist, or the waist
that takes nn Intermediate place be

the elaborate one, is always in de

dainty and attractive without over

tucked in groups and trimmed with
bands of insertion that are applied be

while in reality It is so simple that
it can quite easily be made. In the
case of the model the material is white

and light-weight wools being made af

The waist consists of fronts and

NATURAL FISH TRAP.
Strange Island Formation Oft the
Brazilian Coast.
The word "atoll" in rortuguese sig
nifies a group of reefs forming a small
bay. The Atoll das Itocas is a natural
horseshoe, where fish are caught In n
labyrinth. The Island may be reached
from Fernambnco by boat in six hours,
and is situated 125 miles northeast
from Cape San Roque and eighty-four
A NATURAL
miles from the island of San Fernando
do Noronhn. It is fourteen miles In
circumference anil from one-fourth to
one-half mile wide. At ebb tide the
reefs are almost completely out of the
water and at high tide ihey are on a
level with the sea. The difference be
tween high and low tide is about nine
feet. The bay Is completely sheltered
(as shown In the sketch) and the water
within the Inc lnsure is about thirteen
feet deep. lvuring low tide the en
trance of the bay is almost closed by
a shoal. The coast In these latitudes
abounds in tish, for which the Atoll das
Itocas furnishes a favorable retreat,
and at the same time constitutes a
trap of gigantic proportions. This pe
culiar Island is formed by an aggrega
tion of a very porous limestone with
numberless holes and crevasses, form
ing a natural shelter for all llsh and
"creeping things." according to a report
from United States Consul Oencral
Seeger at Rio do Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro Imports about two
tons of salted or dried fish per week,
all of which could easily be supplied
from the Atoll das Rocas, besides lob
sters and other "frutti di mare," if
fishing were properly organized at this
unique Island, which, in fact, consti
tutes the greatest natural fish reser
voir and at the same time the most
gigantic natural fish trap known to
geography.
On his retiring from active service

Benjamin de Cerqueira Lima, obtained
from the Brazilian Government the ex

this island for thirty years, and alter
his recent death his children inherited

SUN MOVES A MONUMENT.
Many people do not realize the power
that the sun exerts even on such un
yielding substances as solid stone.. The
Washington Monument Is well known
to bend Itself measurably before the
sun's rays, and numerous other In
stances are on record proving the hom

of Itself, with the encouragement of
the sun.
Last spring It was noticed that the
ball was rotating, and repeated meas
urements have demonstrated the fact
beyond nny question. The motion av
erages about an inch n month. It will
be noled from the engraving that the
circular unpolished spot at which the
ball originally was placed cn the ped
estal Is now about half way up, show
ing a quarter turn of the ball.
Scientists are not agreed as to the
exact explanation of this interesting
phenomenon, though it is apparent that
the movement is due In some way to
the heat of the sun. Probably the heat
causes one side of the ball to expand
more than the other, thus causing a
creeping motion which is infinitesimal
from day to day. but which is natiee

Irylng to Get Out of It,

told by Mr. O. Storey, A. R. a. Two

Helen of Troy. "It is a horrid plc.
ture," one remarked to the painter
"I'm sorry, but it's, mine," said Sir
Frederick, us he then was. "Oh."' said

OURGIRtS
WATER EXPERIMENTS.
Of course you know that water boils
when heated to a temperature of 212
degrees. No matter how much bent
you may apply to it then, the tempera
ture will not be raised, but the woter
will only be the more rapidly turned
into steam, for that is what boiling
docs.
There is a way, however, in which
rou may raise the temperature of water
above 212 degrees, though most persons
would tell you that it is impossible.
To make the test and prove it, you will
need a small chemical thermometer,
that is, one without a tin case. These
are sold nt a moderate price in the
stores, or, if you prefer, you can con
vert an ordinary thermometer into a
chemical one by enrefuly scratching
the divisions of the scnle on the glass
tube with a file, and then removing It
from the tin case. If you will fit It In
a tin case, so that It will float in the
water without touching the bottom or
the side of the vessel, it will be com
plete, like those that are used for tak
ing the temperature of baths.
When you have your thermometer,
boll some water fqr fifteen minutes,
nnd then let It stand until it cools.
Then keeping It perfectly still, heat it
again, and you will find that the tem
perature will go a few degrees higher
than 212, without causing the water
to boll.
If you will now drop some piece of
metal into the water, it will at once
begin to boil. The explanation of this
is that the air Is expelled from the
water when it boils, nnd the water
with air in It boils more quickly than
water without air in it, so that, at the
second boiling, a higher temperature
Is reached before boiling begins. When
you drop the scraps of metal Into the
water they carry air with them; be
sides, they reduce the temperature of
the water to the boiling point.
Another experiment may be made by
putting some salt or sugar Into water,
and then boiling it; you will find that
it will take a higher temperature than
pure water, for the reason that some
heat Is required to separate the salt or
sugar from the water before the latter
can be converted into steam. You may
in this way prove for yourself the de
gree of heat for boiling various sub
stances. Still another interesting experiment
consists in boiling some water in a
glass flask; then, while it is boiling,
cork it tightly, nnd remove it from the
flame. When it stops boiling in the
flask, pour some cold water over the
outside, and it will begin to boll again.
Or plungo the flask into cold water
and the samo thing will happen. You
may be able to do this several times
with the same flask. The explanation
is thnt in a corked flask of boiling
water there is some steam above the
surface of the water,, and the appli
cation of cold water causes this steam
to condense, which at once removes
eomo of the prcssure from the surface,
causing it to boil, as the bubbles of
s team can then escape.
Those experiments are nil Interest
ing and Instructive. New York Even

ROSETTA POrE'S SCHOOL.
"What are you doing?"
It was Rosctta's undo who asked
the question.
Kosctta looked up with a little
laugh. I
"I'm playing school," she said.
Uncle Leonard came near, and gazed
at her row of pupils, first In wonder,
then with an amused smile.
"You have some very famous schol
ars," he observed.
A dozen or more "Author" cards
were ranged on chairs before her, and
each card pictured the face of a man
or a woman prominent in literature.
"Is Tennyson at the head or the foot
of the class?" ho inquired, his eyes
twinkling.
"Oh, at the head!" Rosctta answered.
"I don't know what other people think,
but I rank them first just as I like
them, and then if they don't recite
well they have to go dojvn."
"Pray what do tbey recite?" her nn
cle asked. "Spelling and geography?"
"Of course not! They recite from
their own works here are the les
sons!" and she laid her hand on a big
pile of books at her right.
"Do you admit visitors?"
"Oh, yes, sir! Mamma often comes
In. That's the visitor's seat," point
ing to great armchair.
So from the other aide of the room
AND BOTC
Uncle Leonard watched the small
teacher and her renowned scholars.
"Lord Tennyson will please recite his
New Year's poem, beginning:
" 'Ring out, wild bells, to the wild
sky.' "
Whereupon Rosetta selected a book
from tho pile, and keeping her finger
in the place, recited the lines with
very little hesitation.
"Well done!" praised Iter uncle.
"Thank you," said Rosetta, blush
ing. The next card bore the face of Alex
ander Pope, nnd the teacher said:
"Mr. Pope; you may recite two lines
from your "Essay on Man," nnd again
Rosetta spoke for her pupil:
" 'Honor nnd shame from no condition
rise;
Act well your part, there all the hon
or lies.' "
Then she turned to her uncle with
a smile.
"I can't understand much of his," she
explained; "but seeing our names are
tho same, I thought I'd have to put
him in somewhere, and he's learned
those lines so well, he stays up near
the head."
Uncle Leonard burst out laughing,
but was checked by Rosetta's warning
finger.
"Mr. Cowper, please give us the first
and last verses of 'John Gilpin.' "
Rosetta began bravely enough:
" 'John Gilpin was a citizen
Of credit and renown;
A-"
Silently she puckered her forehead,
and then said, In a voice supposed to
be stern:
"Mr. Cowper, you may go to the
foot!" adding to her uncle, "I never
can remember that, but I like it."
"And how often do you have this
sort of thing?" asked Uncle Leonard.
"Oh, whenever I get lonesome. I
guess I'd rather have you talk to me
now," nnd with one sweep of the hand
she gathered her famous pupils into
a pack, and tossed it on the table.
"Tell me about Cousin Maud,
please!" she coaxed.
"One thing about her Is that she is
lonely most of the time, we live so far
from neighbors. I think I'll buy n set
of 'Authors' on my way home, nnd tell
her about this school of yours."
"Oh, do!" cried Rosetta. "And then
when she comes down here next sum
mer we can play It together. Mamma
likes It, because she says It teaches
me so much.'
"I should say so! I shall have to
conch Maud nt first; she doesn't know
one author from another."
"Neither did I till I learned." said
Rosetta. Emma C. Dowd, in Youth's
Companion.
WHAT THE TOWEL SAID.
The front door stood open and
through it came a little breeze, a sweet
breath of honeysuckle and clover. It
brought the sound of merry voices, for
school was out nnd the little folks were
on their way home.
Dick came rushing In nnd threw his
arms about his mother as he met her
in the hall.
"Now, run up nnd wash your hands.
Dickie, boy," said mother, "nnd brush
your hair."
"Oh, why do I have to? I'm clean
enough," said Dick, crossly, looking ot
his hands.
Mother caught them as he tried to
put them behind his back, and Dick
couldn't help laughing as she sang:
"Oh, where are the ten little, clean little
men.
To lunch with me to-dnv?"
"I really didn't know they were so
dirty, mother," Dick said, when he
came down stairs again. "They nre all
gentlemen, though, nnd have put on
their clean coats to take lunch with the
ladies."
Mother and Dottle laughed, and so
did little Madge.
When mother tucked Dick In bed
that night she saida
"Dick, I have given you a clean tow
el, nnd please don't let your little-'men
leave any advertisement on this one."
"Why, mother, what do yon mean?
How con they? Whnt kind of an ad
vertisement?" "Well," explained mother, "after yon
had dressed for dinner to-day I saw
something that wasn't English on your
towel, nnd yet I could read It very
plainly. It said. 'Dick's hands are
clean; I did It.' I'll bring it in and see
If yon don't think thnt is what it nnjs."
Dick thought very hard, and when
mother came back holding up the tow
el for him to see, a little smile came
creeping out of the corners of his
mouth, for one end of the towel was
very dirty.
"Mother, dear," exclaimed Dick, "my
little men made a mistake and put
their coats In the wrong place when
they were coming to dinner with you.
I'll see to It that they don't do it
again." And he snuggled down into
the pillow with a happy little chuckle
ns mother kissed him good night
