IffiE LAKE THE REALM OF FASHION. Several women have been seen in apper Broadway recently with their hair in neta, says the New York Press. The arrangement was much like the old-fashioned chignon. seamed and close. The neck Is fin ished with a high storm collar, and the fronts are extended to form the revere that turn back over the capes .when the latter are worn. The three capes are circular in shape and ore joined together at the neck where they are neatly bound. As illnstrated, the material is heavy diagonal cloth, the only finish being double rows of machine stitching. The body of the garment is unlined, but both capes and sleeves are lined with silk, Pockets are inserted in the fronts and ore finished with stitched laps. The closing is effected by means of large buttons and button holes, a second row of the buttons be ing added for decoration. To make this coot for a lady in the medium size will require six yards of fifty four-inch material. AGAIN THE CHIGNON. Chignons were worn almost uni versally at about the time of the Civil War. Nobody ever has been known to assert that they were beautiful. The real chignon is made by rolling ladies AND MISSES’ DRIVING COAT. OTeralla For Small Coy. Every mother knows the advantage of an apron. The overalls here shown, writes May Manton, serve the same purpose, and fill the same need for the boys, at the same time that they are essentially masculine. While they have been widely used during the summer they are dso of great value for indoor play and work, such as carpen tering and the like. The material is the denim that is also worn by the workman and can be trusted to endure even 'boy’s usage. The garment is fitted by means of inside and outside leg seams. Two patch pockets at the fiont, and o^e at the back {provide the hair into a large unpleasant bunch, which then is surrounded by a net. This makes the entire mess look like the braided rope fenders worn by tug boats. An inducement offered by the chig non is that one can wear somebody else’s hair if one lacks enough of the real article. The fact that it is an exceptionally ugly fashion probably will insure its popularity. In the old chignon days the women often carried in these nets enough false hair to stuff a sofa, and enough wire, etc., in the shape of crinolines to furnish a junk shop. Stylish Driving Coat. However varied and numerous the short coats and wraps may be, says May Manton, the long driving cloak or ulster, that pro tects from both dampness and cold, must always find a place. The model shown is eminently stylish and prac tical and admits of wear either with or without the capes, so providing for moderate or extreme weather. The backs are snug-fitting, but the double breasted fronts are loose, so avoiding all danger of crushing the gown be neath. There are both under-arm gores and side-backs, the two together rendering the fitting easy of accom plishment. The fulness at the back is laid in underlying plaits below the waist line. The sleeves are one- storage place for all implements. Straps ore attached at the back which pass over the shoulders and buckle onto the waist portion of the front. To make these overalls for a boy of RAPIDLY TURNING INTO AN INLAND ( SEA OF FRESH WATER. flogging of th« Unit Bock* Cnua#i • Xom of Saline Strength In Cteh’l Maturni Wonder—An Underground Beeervolr of Springe—Peculiarity larlty of the Lake. The Great Salt Lake is two feet lower to-day than ever before known in the history of Utah, and, according to competent observers, it is rapidly changing its chief characteristic and taming into an inland sea of fresh water. Every fall the lake is several 'eet lower than in the spring, bat this rear the waters have subsided to each an extent that many of the bathing pavilions and boathonses are left high and dry upon the beach. It has al-l ways been believed by axperte that the take had an underground outlet, bat no explorer has yet been fortunate enough to discover anv. It is sup posed, however, that outlets exist, and that during the last six months they have gained noticeably upon the springs which supply the lake. On the northern slopes of the lake’s shores and down the western border are numberless springs which have always ran pare brine into the inland sea. These springs evidently come through immense rooks of salt in the earth, and by washing through them they make the spring water intensely briny by the time it reaches the sur faces. There have been signs of a change in these springs in recent years. Several times they have ceased ) flow as rapidly as usual, and the ater they poured up appeared fresher. They have now become partly choked up, either with rooks or salt, and they no longer give the same supply of salt water as they did years ago. In sev eral other places—notably on East Antelope, within fifteen feet of the brimming lake basin—there are many fresh water springs that gush np at all seasons of the year and poor into the lake. These fresh water springs have become larger and more powerful since the salt water springs became clogged up, and it is supposed the underground reservoir of water, divert ed from its usual course, is now seek ing an adequate outlet through the springs where no salt rocks exist. If this theory is correct, the Great Salt Lake will gradually tarn to fresh water, and the surface will continue to fall until the winter and spring freshets from the mountains fill it again. This additional water will add no salt to the greatAsea, bnt make it fresher than ever. It has been well known for many yeaui that the Great Salt Lake is freshe^ lithe early spring than in the summer; qfid the phenom enon is probably ci tion of great quanti the snows and stri sins. Those engaged in manufactur ing salt on the lake say that it takes six gallons of water to make one gal lon of salt in the summer and fall, but that in the early spring it often takes seven and even eight gallons to make the same quantity. There are three large streams emp tying into |the Great Salt Lake—the Bear, Weber and Jordan Rivers—but they make no appreciable difference In the saltiness of the lake, except »arly in the spring, when they carry the melting snows of the mountains down to the lake. So long as the andergronnd springs of salt continued to pour their brine into the lake it re quired an immense volume of fresh water to nentralize them. The Great Salt Lake is seventy miles long and fifty miles across in its widest part, and it has an area of 2000 square milea. Another peculiar change that has taken place in the lake is the gradual upheaval of the bottom. In recent years its greatest depth has not exceeded forty feet, while the average depth is only from twelve to twenty. Fifty years ago the bottom could not be sounded in places, and lines 100 feet long failed to strike bot tom.—Philadelphia Times. ed by the addi- s of water from s of the mount- boys’ overalls fob wohk oe flay, i ten years will require two yards of thirty-six-inch goods. _j Giant Redwoods. In the several California groves where the giant redwoods have been found there are many trees from 275 to 335 feet high, and from 25 to 34 feet in diameter. The area of Mari posa Grove is two miles square, and it contains 427 of the monster trees. The largest in the Calaveras Grove is "The Keystone State,” and is 325 feet high, and its girth six feet from the gronnd is 45 feet. There are some in the Mariposa Grove which are not so high, but which have a greater circumfer ence, "The Grizzly Giant,” being 93 feet at the gronnd and over 64 feet 11 feet above. Some dozen miles south of the Mariposa Grove is the Fresno Grove, which is said to contain about 600 trees, the largest 81 feet in cir cumference; while about fifty miles north of the Calaveras, in Placer County, a small grove has been dis covered. Flab Which Clothe Themselves. The ocean contains several fish which clothe and adorn themselves. The most conspicuous of them is the antennarins, a small fish frequenting the Sargasso Sea, which literally clothes itself with seaweed, fastening the pieces together with sticky, gela tinous strings, and then, as it were, holding the garments on with its fort fins.
