It is usually assumed that on the more distant planets Intense cold reigns, the amount of heat received from the sun being exceedingly small. It is pointed out, however, by Professor I\ W. Very, that in case the utmos plieric conditions on such a planet ♦Neptune, for instance.) are favorable a high surface temperature might be kept up, the blanket of vapor holding ♦ he heat as the glass of a greenhouse does. A greenhouse keeps warmer than the outer air even when not artifllcially heated, because the luminous rays of the sun pass easily through the glass, while the dark heat rays emitted by the warmed ground cannot get out. The heat Is thus, as it were, caught like a rat in a trap. The earth's at mosphere acts in the same way. With out it we should have roasting days and freezing nights, us they probably do on the moon. If the planets contain unknown gases in their atmospheres, which ttve highly absorbent of heat rays while allowing light rays to pass easily, a still more eftlctent "heat trap" may exist there. All snakes are short sighted. Is Your Health Mh 10c? That’* what it cost* to gst a—week’s treatment—erf CASCARBTS. They do more for you than any medicine on Earth.

If you don’t believe it, listen to bis opening remarks as toastmaster at the annual dinner of the Hotel association: "The last time I made my last ajr pearanoe was in Boston, about a year ago. William Howard Taft appeared at the same time. We made a fine cross matched team. He weighed more on the hoof than I did, but what I lacked In avoirdupois I made up In mental poiso. We both did swimming ly, but I discovered that Mr. Taft drew more water than I did, due possibly to the depth of his centerboard. Indeed, when the dinner was over I was able, owing to my light draft, to sail Into my hotel Quito easily, wh'lo Mr. Taft was unable to cross the bar, and had. to anchor outside the lightship over night. “I believe that my speech was the more scholarly of the two, but I must admit that Mr. Taft's carried more weight than mine did. During my little talk on that occasion I took a few cracks at President Roosevelt, and the audience, with one exception, seemed pleased. The exception was our friend, Mr. Taft, and when his turn came he sat down on me—350 pounds of presi dential timber resting on you is an awful thing. "It is terrible to have a steam roller pas3 over yam and I have not uttered a peep since; but truth crushed to earth will rise again, and h“re I am. my punctures healed, comparatively reinflated, and as lull of hot air as ever. But I heaped coals of fire on our now president's head. I voted for him and got others to go and do the same. I like 'Big Bill.’ All hotel men like 'big bills.'" For This One Day. For this one day— Grant us sight to see the road Creep plainly, on our winding way. Grant us strength to bear the load, For this one day. For this one day— Guide our feet the road along. ■ Let not our weary footsteps stray; ’ Give us to life a stave of song, - For this one day. ^ For this one day— I Let us not see Lie mud beneath, f But know tile gold above the ' :y And smell "the wind upon the heath,” | For this one day.

It is cut on this season’s "curveless” lines and trimmed in bands of green satin, braided In black soutache. These bands form a bolero effect at the armhole and trim the deep directoire cuffs and collar. The coat opens at the front over a plain skirt. Green satin buttons and silk cords trim the back and accentuate the short walsted effect. The hat is of dark green satin, trimmed with self-tone marabou feather. ONE PIECE FROCKS FOR WEAR IN HOUSE The Revival of This Comfort able House Gown Spreading Like an Epidemic. The comfortable revival of one-piece cloth frocks for houso wear Is spread ing like an epidemic, it has become most popular with the wage-earning class, for It saves the Incessant laun dering, mending and renewing of wash shirtwaists. The girls of today look trig and at tractive in these frocks. They are made of cheviot, serge, chevron cloth and, even, tweed. As they are unltned and untrlmmed they have little weight. They have enough tit to make them smart looking. The usual method of making Is to gore the skirt, run It high waisted, put a shaped panel down center hack and front that extends up over the snug iltttng, short waisted bodice. A few buttons may be placed on the edges of these panels, but long rows of them are not attractive. Few Buttons Help. The sleeves are often of the material put Into a snug armhole, fitting the arm, and fastening at the wrist with buttons. There Is quite a return to wearing turnover llngerto cuffs on these cloth waists. Tills is the fashion that be longs to the days when cloth frocks were worn, before shirt waists Invaded the field. They make a neat finish to the wrist and are most becoming to the hand than the line of heavy rough cloth. Young girls who wear the stiff turn over By.ron collars are adding the wide flaring cuffs to match. These are trou blesome to keep clean and to get into one’s coat sleeve, so one must he rather extravagant to Indulge In the fancy. It Is quite possible to wear these one piece frocks over lingerie gulmpes, and the latter are widely sold for this pur pose In the shops. With the exception of school girls, however, such a com bination Is not altogether attractive. Smart In One Piece. There Is something much smarter about them all in one piece. The clotli sleeve looks better in the morning and the neck tits better with Its own yoke attached. The latter Is made of net the color ol the material, lined with China silk, alse of lace and lingerie. If the frock is to be worn at the of fice, In the house or for shopping un der a heavy coat, It is better to have tlio yoke of washable material, such a; ocru, embroidered batiste or coarse fig ured net. If the frock, however, Is made of soft er cloth and Is to be worn for semi formal occasions, the yoke should be o good lace or embroidered net or plali net dyed to match. Everywhere there Is shown a ten dency to wear transparent sleeves to formal house afTalrs and sleeves of th cloth for everytliln| else. COLONIAL SAUCERS.

VELVET HATS ADORN LEADERS Of FASHION Intended to Ee Worn With Tailored Costume and Ele gant in Their Simplicity. A hat Is not always exactly what It sounds; there are times when h-a-t Is not plain hot, any more than shoes are j shoes. As footgear comes in varied j sorts and sizes, so are thero chapeaux of many kinds. The woman who has heretofore ; looked upon the black velvet hat as '■ always a dressy affair for .occasions i should revise her opinions on the sub Ject of velvet. Paris does not now con sider that material too elegant for ; dully use; but her milliners do vary the ! shapes and the shlrrings according to the time of day. The "make up” de termines the uses to which the hat is to be put. To bo well dressed Is not to be mere- j ly dressed, nor is it to be overdressed. ! There is an eternal fitness of things— j of all things—and surely of Paris i clothes. They are not sent over here | with the idea that women are to wear them regardless of the occasion; in deed, the> are nil designed for very certain times and places. Topped by a ; velvet hat docs not mean ready for the j flay, no matter what the fray; a dozen diPCeient occasions may clamor for con sideration. The Hat's the Thing. If there, is one time in the gowning of a woman that calls for more thought than another, it is that de pressing moment when she confronts the stern necessity for making one gown or one hat do double or triple duty. Then Is It that a woman's Inge nuity is taxed, and solving the prob lem means cleverness. There comes from Paris the very hat—for Paris Is a sort of fashion fa'ryland—it Is the black velvet tailored hat. Now always we have had big vel vet hats (save where ottoman silk and satin have usurped the role), but they have l * en of the "picture” variety. Many of theso Paris models are huge shirred affairs, beautiful and new, with Jet and meta.1 ornaments and other stiff trimmings. These new velvet hats, while emi nently suitable and intended for wear with the tailored costume, are elegant in their simplicity and can, therefore, he worked very hard—“morning, night a ad noon.” ♦ 4 4 SAUCES FOR WINTER. 4 4 — 4 4 Oyster Sauce. 4 ♦ Take one quart of oysters, one + 4 pint of cream, one dessertspoon of + 4 (lour and salt and pepper to taste. 4 4 Strain liquor and put In a sauce- 4 ' 4 pan to boll.

Breaking the News Gently. On a recent trip of the JJauretanla Captain Pritchard was asked for a sea tale. Here Is the yarn he spun: “Once upon a time an old lady was returning from abroad with a parrot, of which she was very fond. She in trusted the bird, with many admoni tions, to a sailor for the voyage. "Seasickness or something killed the parrot the third day out. The sailor, knowing how upset the old lady would be, could not bring himself to tell her the sad tidings, but asked a companion, famous for hla skill in such matters, to break the bad news to her very, very gently. The man agreed to do it. "Approaching the old lady with a tragical face, the famous newsbreaker touched his cap o.r.d said: " Tm afraid that ’ere bird o’ yourn ain’t goin’ to live long, ma'am.’ "'Oh, dear!’ exclaimed the old lady In alarm. ‘Why?’ “’’Cause he's dead!’ was the reply.” Kentucky’s Natural Wonders. From the New York Times. The pseudo-scientist found himself seated at dinner with a stone pillar on one side of him and a red-faced com mercial traveler on the other. Finding the pillar unresponsive, and laboring under the necessity of human inter course, he chose the lesser of two evils and addressed himself to the red-faced drummer. "You—er—travel a great deal, I pre sume,” said the pseudo-scientist. "Yep; on the go pretty much all the time,” replied the red-faced drum mer. “Where have you been recently, may I ask?” "Just back from Kentucky.” ”Ah. Kentucky. Charming section of the country. Rich in historic inter est.” , "I s-pose so.” "And equally rich in nature’s handi work.” “Come again?” "I mean to say it is most interesting ns regards its natural phenomena.” “I'll take your word for it.” "The Mammoth cave, for instance. You have visited the Mammoth cave?” "Nope. Always too busy sellin’ goods. I only hit the high places like Louis ville, Newport, Lexington, an' the like. No business at Mammoth cave.” “I presume not. I5ut at the same time, my dear sir. it is the greatest nat ural wonder of Kentucky.” "Rack up!” "Sir?” . "Come out of your trance. On my last trip I stacked up against two nat ural wonders that made the Mammoth cave resemble a hole in the wall.'' "You astonish me. May I inquire what they were?” “You may. One was a colonel who had actually served in the army and the other was a Judge who at one time had really been on the bench.” And the red-faced drummer retired to his place of terrapin a. la Heine while the pseudo-scientist returned to his contemplation of the stone pillar. The Ageing of the Hand. "Don’t go in for skilled manual labor if you want to keep the advance of old age from your sight.” said a physician. "The hand gives the first muscular in dication of senility. “Nearly two-thirds of our human life, you know, is spent in dying. We ma ture at 25 or 30. From then on we slowly die. Lines come, teeth go, we get bald, we get gray, and gently and quietly those ailments begin to take possession of ua which, one day, will carry us off. “We forget these things to a degree, though, if we are not skilled manual laborers—if our wages, from early manhood don’t dwindle in time with the dwindling of our youth. “Take the button maker, working at piece work. “At 30 he is at his best; he gets |12 a week. At 35 he is down to 111, at 40 to |10, at 45 to 18, and after 50. no mat ter how hard he tolls, he can't make over |5 or |6 a week. “So it is with numberless trades. From 25 or 30 onwards, the worker’s envelope says to him every day; “‘Getting old! Getting old!'” PRIZE FOOD. Palatable, Economical, NocrlHlilmr. A Neb. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes : “After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, 1 canuot say enough In Its favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. “We sometimes tried other advertised j breakfast foods, but we Invariably re turned to Grape-Nuts as the most pala table, economical ana nourishing of all. “When I quit tea and coffee and be gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts, l was a nervous wreck. I was so irrita ble I could not sleep nights, had no in terest In life. “After using Grape-Nuts n short time I began to improve and all these ail ments have disappeared and now I am a well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times a day. “They are pictures df health and j have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the moat ; severe siege of whooping cough, they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed. “Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, a most | economical food for us."

The Birds' Free Breakfast. “All the birds g-et a rree break thanks to the electric light," said a * linesman, as he fastened on Ids climb ers. “Yes, all summer long the birds get a free and certain breakfast with out hustling for it, just the same as a millionaire's daughter, without any work or worry or uncertainty, come* down at 10 and finds her grape fruit ready. “The cause is the attraction an elec tric light has for bugs. Never a night but a thousand or more bugs and in sects kill themselves in the attempt to eat or embrace the golden glow of each electric street lamp. Never a lamp, no matter how humble, but It has each dawn a great heap of corpses at its feet, insect victims of love or hunger— who knows which?—not that it mat ters, the two emotions are so much alike. “At an rate, the wise birds, as soon as they awake, dart to the nearest lamp, and make beneath it an excellent and abundant free breakfast.” $100 Reward. $100.
