Philadelphia,

fashionable women of Philadel-
phia, in an effort to follow the
Parisian vogue, adopted the
green wig in a twinkling and ac-
cepted the skillet hat without a
murmur, but when the “back-
less’’ evening gown was exhibit-
by models, under the direc-
tion of Mms. Joire, there were
evidences of a fashionable revo-
lution. The exhibition of some
gowns was held at the Stratford
hotel, and the grand ballroom re-
sounded with shocked “Oh-s”
when Mme. Dianette Leduc walk-
ed out with nothing on her back
but a_ string of beads and a
draught.
The gown was of bright green
crepe de chine, veiled with a
lighter shade of tulle. There
was hardly anything to the front
of the waist and the back was
entirely absent. As a result, as
the handsome model walked
across the room, the effect was
frank in the extreme, and excla-
mations GT the women present
indicated that the model will not
become popular at once in Phila-
delphia. As Madame Joire an-
nounced, four diagonal strands
of beads are all that stand be-
tween the wearer and pneu-
monia.

Rights of a British Subject

Montreal Gazette)
In the discussion in the house
of commons on the subject of
Asiatic immigration, Mr. Frank
Oliver, whose name suggests
English descent, resented the
action of the courts in issuing
writs of habeas corpus which
prevented the deportation of the

Hindu neweomers. Mr. Rodolphe
Lemieux, who is of French de-
scent, held that every British

subject, Hindu, or Saxon, or any-
thing else, had an inherent right
to writ of habeas corpus, to com-

pel those who were detaining
him to show their authority and
the legality of their conduct.
The best Englishman in this

case was a Frenchman.
To Study Food Fish

With the object of promoting
fish culture and the study of the

food fish—principally salmon—
the Pacific Fisheries society has
been organized at Seattle, many
prominent Pacific fishery ex-

perts and canners being present.
It is the only society of its kind
on the Pacific coast. Dr. E.
Lester Jones, deputy commis-
sioner of fisheries, was present
and stated that the United States
government would be glad to as-
sist such a movement.

"Backless Gown Mot Popular TRIANGLE'S FLASHES

SEEN LONG WAY OFF

Leebro Saw 450,000 Candlepower
Light Blinking Fifty
Miles Away

Triangle island lighthouse,
which is said to be the highest in
the world, among the
powerful in operation on the Pa-
cific coast of the continents of
North America and South Amer-
ica. .The 450,000 candlepower
light is guaranteed to throw a
beam of light 34 miles in good
weather, but A. W. R. Wilby,
resident engineer of the marine
department at Victoria, says that
he saw the light blinking when
50 miles away from the island.
At the time he was on board the
lighthouse tender Leebro, and
this is the longest distance ever
recorded of the sighting of a
lighthouse on the Pacific.

 

 

is most

The Leebro was returning
from a trip to Triangle island
with material for the repairing

of the damage done to the store-
house and dwellings of the smal!
party which remains on the iso-
lated spot in the Pacifie to op-
erate the light and wireless sta-
tion. It was a very clear night,
and the Leebro kept the light
dead astern of her for a number

of hours. When 50 miles from
the island the great beams of
light were quite easily discern-
able.

The’ station maintained at
Triangle is an important one.
The light was placed in opera-
tion on November 14, 1910, and
has served a useful period on

the coast, having proved a great
benefit to ocean-going shipping.
The lighthouse is 700 feet above

high water, and the tower, sup-
porting the huge lantern, is 46
feet in height The power re-
quired to throw the light such
great distances is sufficient to
light a small town. Nearly half

a million candlepower is used at
Triangle, and to look at the light
from a short distance would al-

most blind one. The island is
exposed to the beat of yevery
wind, and is a bleak spot. It is
only at rare intervals that the

lighthouse tenders can land sup-
plies there, so treacherous is the
sea.

Rotten Codfish in Mail

The new parcel post system
has increased the mails to
Prince Rupert considerably and
many parcels are coming
through. Some of them have
strange contents. On the last
mail a rotten odor almost drove
the staff out of the office. It

was located in a package of rot-
ten codfish.

Recently some egg
shipments put in with the mail
in bags were smashed up and
made a bad mess. This week
several neat packages of eggs
came in outside the mail bags

 

and arrived in good shape.
