World Lotet Another . of Its Historic Spots There: is a dingy old building at the corner of Dock and Moravian streets In Philadelphia which is about to be torn down to make way for a new structure. With It will vanish a spot about which memories cluster dim but poignant. In 1837 William E. Burton founded the Gentleman’s Magazine, in Imitation of the famous English periodical of the "same name. Shortly before, Edgar Allan Poe had come up from Richmond to seek a wider field for his poems and stories. His occasional contributions to contemporary journals attracted the attention of Burton, who engaged him, ’in July, 1839, to sit in with the editorial staff of the Gentleman's Magazine, at a salary of SSO a month. Poe had previously declined to accept any editorial position, fearing that the confinement would handicap his powers. His child wife, Virginia, soon began to develop the terrible disease which was to take her from htfn. however, and in his desire to provide her with comforts he was constrained to accept regular employment. For three years he sat in the corner •room of the second story at Dock and Moravian streets and wrote his Immortal criticisms and essays. Then he and his employer quarreled over Poe’s prospectus for the Penn Magazine, and in 1842 their connection ceased. But the dark little room has seemed to be filled ever since with the atmosphere of his brooding spirit, and for many years it has been a mecca for all throughout the world who have read his songs and prose. Now at last it is to go and the place thereof shall know it •’Nevermore.” Picea Engelmanni Engelmann Spruce is essentially a Rocky mountain evergreen, for its geographic distribution is very largely confined to the Rockies. P. A. Smoll. Pa Naturalist of the Rocky Mountain National park, tells us. It ranges from the southern limits of Arizona and New Mexico to well up Into the Canadian Rockies, while a limited amount • of it is found in the states of Washington and Oregon, apart from the Rocky mountain systenv The name. Engelmann Spruce, is appropriate and well established among students of western trees, although among the lumbermen of the West, one may often hear “spruce” used when this tree Is Intended. The first discoverer of the tree cannot be named with absolute certainty. In the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805, mention is made of a ’’spruce" which may hav£ been the tree which we now know as Engelmann Spruce, but. on the part of many of our early explorers, there has been much confusion in the distinction of the firs and spruces and therefore this conclusion is open to question. Jealousy Analyzed “There is, perhaps, no such thing as love without an occasional display pt jealousy," says Burton Rascoe, writing in Hearst’s International. “But in every case I believe it will be found that the one who is jealous has lost for the moment his or her 'self-assur-ance. It may be because of illness or overwork or a protracted lack of diversion. “When I have been jealous or my wife has been jealous I have always noticed that our jealousy could be traced to one of these three things. When I have been jealous, they have been occasions when 1 felt myself at a disadvantage, when my egoism was not top-notch. “The man who knows" that he can depend upon his wife not to leave him in the lurch or desert him In a crisis* or find some one else Irresistibly more attractive, is pretty sure of himself, sure of his power to attract, sure of his worthiness as a man. This is true also of a woman.” <$ . ■ Steam From Volcano Plans are under way to pierce the sides of Mount Tatio. an active volcano on the west coast of South America, to get the steam generated by the natural fires beneath the mountain. Most of the energy will be piped out for use tn mu king electricity. Estimates show that as much current can be produced in this manner each year as would require the consumption of a half million tons of coal in an ordinary plant. It is said the steam is so pure that it can be run directly -into turbine engines without the usual', costly cleaning processes. In Italy thousands of horsepower have been developed in this way.—Popular Me chanlcs Magazine. Talkless Phone for Afafe* One of the most recent devices for >■use in comm units ticn between deaf mutes is a “talkless phone" that conveys messages by means of an alphabet printed on electric-llghr-mflb*. As the operator presses the keys of a special typewriter wired electrically, the corresponding letters are lighted, spelling out the message. The invention Is the work of William E. Shaw of Cambridge. Mass., who was stricken deaf and dumb by sickness at an early age. He has been working with electrical and mechanical devices most of his life, and claims that deaf mutes miles apart will be able to -talk” with his device.—Popular Sci once Monthly. Wants HU Money's Worth A famous clothes designer, now tn Los Angeles, has given up this prize secret for the benefit of the world: “Men are . very seldom stingy with their wives on this one point: they axe liberal in the matter of clothe*, but with this proviso: A man will nearly always dig up SSOO for his wife’s dothes If she looks like SSOO when she gets them on. What husbands object to is paying SSOO for dothes In which a woman looks like IWX" .

WINTER’S COAT STYLES; PIQUANT FORMAL FROCKS

CLOTH and fur appear to be made for one another in this winter's handsome coats. They may go their separate ways, tor there are all-cloth coats and all-fur coats—but they are in the small minority as compared with the fur-trimmed coats or coats in which cloth and fur are about equally represented. The demand for the combination of doth and fur has focused the atten-

At the left a taupe coat of veloria doth reveals the advantage of its texture and color for combination with Hudson seal. It is an advocate of the straight-front, opening at one side, and sponsors the barrel sleeve. A rich braid supplements the fur emplacements. Marmot fur makes a luxurious garment of the graceful but simply cut coat at the right, with collar extended Into a full-length front panel. There is more fur than cloth In the flaring sleeves. Brown furs are found to harmonize perfectly with many

Now that "winter is coming in, the feminine world is busy making preparations for the pleasant and the gay hours that come with it Afternoons and evenings full of entertainment —and good works—make being housed up more than tolerable. Femininity is further placated by the new afternoon and evening frocks that replace those of the good old summer time. There is no getting away from

the fact that winter clothes are very becoming. A bevy of new afternoon frocks has arrived, much given to tunics, godets, flares and ripples. The mode is in a gay mood and likes frocks that spell affluence. There is nothing prim about them and it is comforting to consider that fabrics that are not at all expensive have a rich and luxurious look. Metal brocades and laces, crepe satins, delicate chiffons, look fairly regal, but are not out of reach of the modest purse. All thrtt glitters is not gold—but what is the difference if the glitter serves its purpose? Certainly we are deeply indebted to the manufacturers of lovely fabrics. Taking satins to begin with, designers have made many piquant frocks that depart from the straight-line silhouette without any loss of graceful

slenderness. They are more becoming to most figure* than the unbroken line of the chemise dress. One of the new arrivals, with a flaring tunic, shows a new development of this popular <Uvertlsement of the afternoon frock. It is made of a supple satin and preserves the straight back and front lines that the mode approves. The body of the frock is pointed at the front, giving it a long line which is emphasized by a clever emplacement of embroidery. There is a touch of embroidery on the sleeves, also. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
