afflicted with the old-fashioned four
wheeled bathing coach, and men and
women bathe in separate groups, ex
cept that the prejudice against mixed
bathing has been forgotten somewhat
at such i laces as "merry Margate,"
"rollicking Ramsgate" and "breezy

man who might try to spy upon the

much taboo as was the peeper who
tried to spy upon Lady Godiva.
The Mediterranean coast is a long
succession of bathing beaches, and for
centuries sirens have left the imprints
of their sandals upon Its sands.
The most perfect motor road in ail
England runs from London to tho
famous sea resort, P.righton, and that
road, though f2 miles of Surrey and
Sussex, is at least one real achieve
ment which must be credited to
George IV. It was ttie prince hailed
as the most perfect gentleman in Eu
rope who made fashionable Brighton.
Once upon a time be made the
first visit to bis uncle, the duke of
Cumberland, at his Hrighton resi
dence, and there he caught a glimpse
of a pretty young actress sunning her
self on the sands. Straightway be
became enamored of tiie place, and
literally commanded a city to spring
up by the sea.
It is over the road that he built that
motor meets run from the capital to
the famous old Ship tavern on the
wide sea front esplanade. He built,
as his plaything palace, at frightful
recklessness of cost, the pavilion,
which is the most interesting struc
ture in the city, and it is In the beau
tiful dome of the building that con
certs, heard by 3,000 at a time, tire
still held.
Hailed as "the queen of the north,"
and as the "English Riviera," with all
the usual attractions of a fashionable
resort, Scarborough has also a de
lightful blending of history, romance
and legend. Many of the stately
homes of England are in the neighbor
hood whose owners havo played a
prominent part in the history of the
nation. The ancient castle is a promi
nent landmark far up and down the
coast and the town has two handsome
bays.
Most carnival-like of all the bathing
places in the world are tho French
and the Belgian resorts. There are
Tiling- s, hnz cinders of huts and
tents and strange-looking straw hives
on the sands. From these three troop
the daintily dressed women and tho
groti .-:;", y attired r.v n. They bathe
together in water that n:re often
than not. barely wets their knees. For
Die women are here to be admired
and the men havo come to dirt and to
ogle. Yes, it is like a carnival. It is
a whirlpool of froth and fashion, a
kaleidoscope of life and gaiety. This
place where the people go into the
Fea tethered with ropes to dabble
placidly in water of saucer-like shal
lowness is a carnival of uproar and
extravagance.
It would seem that Trouville was
discovered about 1SIJ0 by two marine
painters. Rambling along the Nor
man coast in search of subjects, they
chanced one day upon an bumble fish
ing village at the mouth of the
Toucques, where the rugged faces
and tho quaint costumes of the In
habitants made excellent spoil for the
brush. Forthwith they sought shelter
at the sole inn and spread their can
vases for prey. In the salon for 1834
some Parisians noticed the new name,
Trouville. They also met it in an
article by Dumas. When hot weather
came they sought it out.
Under the empire, 20 years later,
fashion set its seal upon the place.
Dieppe had been started by the duch
ess de Kerry and was absorbed by the
sects at the Faubourg St. Germain
and the Faubourg St. Honore. Its
King George's Stamps.
The story Is going round that when
George V. named his private secretary
to take the place occupied by Lord
Knollys under Edward VII. the king
asked him, familiarly:
"What should be the opening of my
reign?"
"Your majesty," was the response,
"all reigns begin in the same way."
"And how is that?"
"With the creation of a new postage
- rv,v-"" v.f
shore was trod by the feet of the
Forty Immortals, who then only be
longed to the Orleans party, and by
deposed statesmen. The Imperial
court had abandoned Dieppe nnd gone
to hiarritz, but that was too far from
I'aris for the lesser officials and the
busy men of the party to follow. Anil
Trouville offered a bathing place with
in six hours of Paris. So It came
about that villas were built and a
square foot of sand soon cost as much
as a square foot of building ground
In Paris itself. Very soon it was the
favorite resort of tho monde and the
demi-monde.
The real life of Trouville, of course,
is closed to the merely passing visitor,
just as is tiie case at C'owes and at
Newport. The passing caller has not
the entree to the salons and the vil
las. Hut he may see that the people
change their toilets every hour, be
may walk the promenade and the
beach, firm and smooth, which slopes
so slowly into the sea that tho bather
must wade far to get into water to
his neck, even at hign tide, and he
may visit the Casino, so close to the
sea that the great tide of 1S70 almost
swept it away.
Dieppe shows a seascape that is
called "inexpressibly grand." The vis
itor seats himself upon the terrace
nnd looks seaward over a glorious
and far-stretching expanse. Some
times it is as calm as a mirror. Hut
the tide never creeps in. It brings
waves and foam with it. Often it is
turbulent. Sometimes it comes in as
a raging plain that lifts itself at last
mountain high and thunderously
dashes itself upon the shore and flings
its salt showers over the spectators.
It is splendid for the eye and it
gives vigor to the body.
Napoleon played with Josephine,
pushing her into the water, and hiding
her bathing slippers, to the amuse
ment of the boatmen and the onlool;- I
ing staff, in their bathing expeditions
in 1 SOS from fiayonne to Hiarritz, that
bright little corner of France, nest
ling at the foot of the Pyrenees, over
looking the Hay of Hiscay and ad
joining the Hapque provinces of Spain.
there are memories Here ot tiie
Empress Eugenie also. On the slope
and overhanging the great rocks at
the head of the bay are the ruins of
(he bathing villa, where she and
Houis Napoleon spent many happy
hours. It was sold, then enlarged and
burned in 1003. There are many his
torical memories here. Gladstone
spent weeks here eacli year. Many
battles were fought in the vicinity in
I lie Wellington campaigns and tho
Spanish provinces adjacent are full of
r minisceiices of Loyola and Xnvier.
Ostend to the initiated that means
the most beautiful strand to be con
ceived, as smooth as a billiard t able
and stretching away many a league.
It means also in the Fiinimer mouths
a most diverting spectacle, whore
dandies mince and flirt even with the
waves, where bathing, dancing, ga
ming and music occupy tho fashion
able world, and where the vast
throngs present a gay and cheerful
miscellany of faces and costumes.
This most, important seaside town
on the continent of Europe has its
palatial villas, including the summer
residence of the king; its sports, polo,
golf, tennis, racing, its great annual
"bataille de flours," lis promenades,
and around all its beach, a paradise
for children, and its bath houses, so
great a novelty for Americans. Above
all, it has its kursatl, the center of
all the gaieties of the season, which
gives the visitor who sees it for the
first time a most confused impression
of marbles and mosaics, brass, copper
and gilding, rich hangings, palms and
mirrors. The dike or "digue" which Is
built along the beach 1s a three-mile
promenade, and at night the spectacle
seen upon it justifies the saying that
Ostend is "the maddest, merriest" city
in Europe.
Every country has its seashore re

The secretary had struck a responsive
chord, for George V. is, in fact, the first
philatelist of thu century. His unrb
vaied collection is valued at many
thousands of pounds. It contains prac
tically every stamp since 1840, the
date of Rowland Hill's innovation, not
only of England and the British colo

England has Yarmouth and a score
of big beaches, aside from those which
have been named. There are good
beaches in Wales and atong the Clyde
In Scotland. Spain has San Scbas

Other and not so "advanced" coun
tries have also their summer exodus
to the shore. Tunis, for Instance, has
a number of popular resiv'ts. What
Hrighton Is to the Englishman, and
what Dieppe Is to the Frenchman,
that Rades Is to the Tunisian. La
Marsa Is said to resemble Trouville.
Hathing Is an indulgence that Is
proper at any hour of the day. Those
who bathe don no special dress, but
enter the water exactly as they were
at the moment they decided to bathe.
Then they stretch out on the sands to 1
dry. At these Tunisian watering
places such amusements as tennis,
shrimping and cafe concerts, as well
as sand castle building by the chil
dren, are well known.
Finally America, not forgetting tho
Philippines. The list is a very long
one. Palm Peach, where in February

a bathing hour that begins one might

Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts
TIIE person who buys a nickel's
worth of peanuts to munch at the
bull game, to feed tho squirrels In tho
park or to gladden tho hearts of chil
dren at home, scarcely realizes that
ho has contributed to an Industry that
last year formed a million-dollar crop,
and which placed on the market In
various forniH, reached tho enormous
mini of $3fi,000,0(l(). Hut It is a fact,
according to Washington statisticians.
This little Hcdiietitvo nut a resolu
tion to "eat just one" Is soon forgot
ten whose birthplace Is America,
was, until comparatively recently, un
appreciated either us to the "money
In them" or as n really nutritious
product. Today tho peanut plays nn
Important part In pleasure, from tho
swell dinner party to the ever present
democracy of the circus, ball game or
picnic. After all, what is a ball game,
picnic or a circus without the peanut
accompaniment?
By far the largest part of tho crop
Is consumed from tho peanut stand,
tho little whistle sign of the roaster
being tho signal for the average
youngster to suggest to dad or ma
that some of them would be very ac
ceptable, and the paternal or mater
nal parent's willingness nine times
out of ten to Invest. Yet there are

south, the feeding of poultry, while

Secretary Wilson
WASHINGTON'. Added to his al
ready manifold duties, James
Wilson, the secretary of agriculture,
is now made by congress the chief bug
Inspector of the United States. It
came about with the past-age of a
law identical with the pure food and
drug act, but covering all Insecticides
and fungicides. The enforcement of
tho law, as in tho pure food law, is
vested In a commission consisting of
tho secretary of tho treasury, the sec
retary of commerce and labor and the
secretary of agriculture. But the two
cabinet ofllcers first named are sort of
commissioners emeritus. Tho real
work comes down to the secretary of
agriculture.
The bug commission has appointed
the legal officers of the three depart
ments, It. E. Cabell, commissioner of
Internal revenue; Charles Early, so
licitor of the department of com
merce and labor, and George P. Mc
Cabe, solicitor of the department of
agriculture, as a subcommittee to
look after the legal enforcement of the
law. This subcommittee is up against
a hard problem already. The law de
fines an insecticide as a compound for
"repelling, destroying, mitigating or
preventing" any insect. The law of
ficers, alter due consultation, admit
ted that while they understood how an

OLD MOTHER EARTH, like femin
inity through all time, but with
her far greater success than most of
her ecx, has defied man to learn her
age. Scientists still admit their de
feat. Their latest estimate credits
her with "not above 70,000,000 years,
Dr below cn.OOO.OOO years." This esti
mate, given official sanction through
publication by tho Smithsonian insti
tution In Washington, is the result of
studies by Frank Wigglesworth
Clarke and George F. Pecker of tho
United States geological survey, who
have followed the subject with consid
erable interest.
Prof. Clarke, in a paper entitled "A
Preliminary Study of Chemical De
nudation," presents a review of all the
available data not only for the United
States, but for the world of tho propo
sition from a chemical point of view.
W. Becker, on the other hand, dis
cusses the question In a paper on "The
General Wood May
THE army Is on the anxious seat
With a new boss on tho Job it Is
expected Major Gen. Leonard Wood,
chief of staff, will make things hum
until his own ideas are put into oper
ation. Although he was appointed to
succeed Major Gen. Franklin J. Bell
last October, since that time he has
been on a trip to Argentine to rep
resent, the United States at the cen
tennial celebration, and has only late
ly returned to Washington.
In the meantime many Important
questions have been piling up await
ing his decision. Just what effect the
personality of the new chief of staff
will have on the army is a matter of
much moment to the officer who

roots of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to It from the nlr.
The result of all this is that scien
tists claim that tho peanut, which In
tho past was not very highly regard
ed, Is the only food utaplo that will
at once nourish man, beast, bird and
fields. It Is the most nutritious of the
entire nut family, rich In tissue build
ing properties, containing glucose and
carbohydrates and Is the cheapest.
Heyond the shadow of a doubt It is
first from both a dietary and econom
ic standpoint.
Tho fact of the mutter Is tho pea
nut In about every way Is In a class
by Itself as regards price, average
number in pound, edible part, waste
iiml fat. They average about ,",50 to
a pound at a cost of ten cents, tho
edible portion is 73.0, waste L't;.4, and
the amount of fat Is placed at SO per
cent. These are remarkable figures
win n one slops to consider them, and
brought out more clearly when com
pared with the small Texas pecan, Its
nearest competitor, which sills for
over a third more, averages but 21 C
to a pound, has a waste of CI .8 per
cent., edible part of 38.2, nnd contains
CS per cent, of fat.
The farming of peanuts during the
past five years not longer than this
has become an established Industry
of this country. At present about five
sixths of the crop comes from Vir
ginia and most of the balance from
Tennessee, Giwgla, West Virginia
and the Carollnas, although most of
the southern states contribute some.
As the peanut Industry has Increased ;
so has the use of all nulB grown
mightily as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
ily now forms a most Important part
of the diet of the physical culturlst
and vegetarian.
Now the Bug Man
Insect might be repelled or destroyed,
they did not see how they could pre
vent an Insect or mitigate him.
The law is specific In declaring
against misbranding Insecticides. If a
well-meaning citizen of the United
States puts up a compound that he
says will rid a house of, say, bugs,
within a specified length, of time,
there seems no way to determine
whether the compound Is misbrand
ed, unless the secretary of agriculture
goes to the premises and holds a
stop-watch on the roaches, to see
whether they mitigate or vacate with
in the time limit.
The biological survey has Issued an
informal statement already, saying that j
the law Is remiss in that It does not
include rats among the Insects to ;
be prevented. An effort is being made
to see whether the law officers are
willing to consider rats as insects. j
Dr. Henshaw of tho biological sur
vey and Prof. Crittenden of the bu-1
reau of entomology are going to call
to their aid the legal advice of Judge
Pugh of the police court. Judge Pugh,
while assistant district attorney some
years ago, established a reputation In
the police court by arguing that, le
gally, a lop-eared rabbit was a chicken
within the meaning of the act. If any
body can prove a sewer rat to bo a
centipede Judge Pugh is the man, It
is believed.
When congress passed the law it
omltt! ono rather essential point. It
did not make any appropriation for
enforcing it. This hampers the en
forcement of any law somewhat.
. e of the Earth" from a more philo
sophical point of view.
Tho age of the earth always has
been a subject for discussion among
men of science nnd largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account of the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the moro recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in estimated the
earth's age at 20,000,000 to 40,000.000
and perhaps 98,000,000 years.
Clarence King and Carl liarus. In
18.J3, placed the age at 24,000,000
years.
Lord Kelvin In 1S97 revised his fig
ures from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000
years.
De Lapparent, in 1890, said it was
07,000,000 to 90,000,000 years.
Charier. D. Walcott, secretary pf the
Smithsonian Institution, in 1893, placed
tho maximum age at 70,000,000 years.
J. Joly, in 1899, estimated tho age
of the ocean at 80,000,000 to 90,000,000
years.
W. J. Soilas, in 1909, placed the
age of the ocean at 80,000,000 to 150,
000,000 years.
Stir Up the Army
reer. it is expected ne win unuor
take most actively a number of re
forms which might not meet with the
approval of the army at large.
One of tho questions which will be
taken up by General Wood Is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi
dent Roosevelt Inaugurated this sys
tem, many officers have been hoping
that It would be modified. General
Wood Is one of the foremost of phys
ical culture enthusiasts.
Instead of being made milder. It Is
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever. The detail
of troops to the Philippines is an
other matter that will bo disposed of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also a number of ideas regarding co
operation between tho regular army
and the militia which be will prob
ably attempt to put Into practise.

ing chief of staff, will take his place

Keen, alert ami purposeful. Miss
Adams took the helm and, directed
smoothly the routine of tho busiest
police department in the world. Tho
observations she has mado in the
months since her appointment as
Chief Steward's "confidential man''
have prepared Miss Adams to step
Into the chief's official shoes. Those
of the "pavement pounders" who had
not been advised of the chief's vaca
tion plans never suspected tho king
was gone and a queen was reigning.
Miss Adams stepped In as acting
chief at a time when the police de
partment was grappling with one of
the most puzzling death mysteries In
its annals, therefore it hasn't been an
easy matter to see her.
Miss Adams has a way of not an
swering questions, but It is such a
charming way that the baffled Inter
viewer only smiles back at her and
asks another. One question which.
Miss Adams dodged was the one:
"How does It feel to be chief of po
lice?" It was a direct question. Hut
the answer came like this: "Why,
how should I know?" That didn't
sound at all direct, but Miss Adams
asserted that she was not able to an
swer it more directly, even after it
was put In number of different forms.
FOREMOST YACHTW0MAN
Mrs. Goelet, Who Lately Excited

has excited tho jealousy of German
court circles because Kaiser Wilhebn
snubbed his own courtiers in order to
dine with the noted American woman i
on her yacht, the Nahma, at the Kiel
regatta. Is perhaps the foremost
yachtswoman of tiie world and has
long heen a favorite of the German !
emperor. When her husband died 11
years ago, Mrs. Goelet was left a for
tune, and the Nahma lias flown her
colors in many seas since that time.
The kaiser has been a frequent visitor
at Mrs. (ioelet's yacht during her at
tendance at the Kiel regattas since
1901, and even exchanged visits with
the charming American when they
were In Italian waters in 1904. Mrs.
Goelet Is a social leader in New York
and Newport. She is one of the very
few feminine members of the New
York Yacht club. The Nahma Is espe
cially well known at Kiel, Cannes, San
Sebastian and Monte Carlo. She was
held up by Turkey as a suspicious
craft in 1903, but the sultan made
