NF.W YORK CITY (Special).—Some
very simple but yet effective gowns
for bridemaids are now being made
for a wedding which is to take place
JIUR.L AND SWAN'S-DOWN HAT.
later in the season. They are to be of
that beautiful shade of pinkish lilac
called ashes-of-roses. The material
s Liberty satin. The skirts, which
will have short trains, have three
niflles of white mull around the bot
tom. The waists have yokes of the
white mull, finely tucked, and elbow
sleeves of the Liberty satin. The col
lars are of white mull, tucked, and j
ibe bridemaids are to wear large white
'null lichus tied iu front, with ruffled
inds hanging well down on the skirts. !
The large hats the young girls will ]
wear promise to be very effective. They
will be of white mull, with a band of
swan's-down around the crown, and
>ue very full white mull rosette at the
:eft side. Under the brim, resting on
•lie hair, are pink roses of a very
lelicate shade. In their hands they
ivill carry what are the latest novelty
>f the seasou—Liberty-satin muffs,
)f the same shade as the gowns, with
ong bows and ends of white mull.
FIGURED LIGHT CtBAY CLOTH.
These mull's are to be imported
from Paris, auil when seen here at
this wedding, which will take place at
one of the most fashionable churches
in town, will undoubtedly set a fashion
for weddings to come. At another re
cent wedding the bridemaids carried
parasols of cream-ruffled tulle, which
were the gift of the bride to her chosen
attendauts.
Three Striking Coal tunes.
Three stylish new costumes are
shown in the large illustration, takeu
from Harper's Bazar. This publica
tion seetus to be more and more the
true mirror of fashion.
No. 1 is a figured silk gown, with
waist cut square and trimmed with a
broad collar of guipure lace and
rosettes of black chiffon.
No. 2 is of light gray cloth with
over-skirt cut in Vandyke points, and
trimmed with narrow silk fringe of
the same shade. There is an ac
cordion-pleated ruffle on the under
skirt. Lace revers are edged with
fringe, and the rosettes are mude
of black velvet with rhinestone buckles.
No. 3 is a gown of pastel-blue cloth,
tucked from the waist to the heiu of
the skirt, and trimmed with deep
flounce of heavy white lace. The
bolero jacket is of lace and there is a
chiffon rosette at the left side.
T.one Sklrtu Are Fashionable.
Long skirts in the street, longer
skirts in the bouse, and it pleases
every one but the woman of economi
cal mind. There is a sweep to the
train of extra length whiali gives a
pleasant sensation to u woman of
presence; she likes the feeling of the
swing of the skirts. 'the dressmaker
can get better effects with tho long
skirt; it shows np the material to bet
ter advantage, and as it takes more of
it, that is a satisfaction to manufac
turers and merchants. But that is
not BO agreeable to the woman who
has to count the dollars. A long
train requires less trimming, if any
thing, than a shorter one, for it has a
certain dignity of its own in a rich
material, and is apt to lose by being
trimmed.
Latent Style in Collars.
Collars are growing higher and
higher. One of the new stocks is of
white silk, tacked and hemstitched,
and has two wide elephants' ears'
ends standing up at the back. Others
are cut with points which almost cut
off the unhappy wearer's ears. A
new feature of the silk stock is the
tab-like ends that hung on either side.
These are bead-embroidered, or edged
| with lace to match the stock, and they
are not very pretty. Still, they aro
the latest. #
Klbow Protector* For Lace Sleeve*.
Up-to-date lace sleeves may have
elbow protectors. They may not be
iutended for that, but they will serve
the purpose. A light cloth gown has
long sleeves of lace, a piece of the
cloth set in at wrist and shoulder, and
another, broad at the outside seam,
with points on either edge, the piece
growing narrower inside the arm. It
may not be to hide a sharp elbow, but
it might be.
One of the Season** Novelties.
Floral mulls are one of the season's
novelties. An enormous and very
lovely one is composed entirely of vio
lets, and finished with great Hopping
frills of shaded mauve chiffon.
Light Gray* For Spring Wear.
Possibly the place of most impor
tance as a spring tone may be given to
gray, the lighter the better. Perle,
argent, nickel and platine are the
four foremost tints.
A Hamtaoine Combination.
Russian lace in heavy quality and
fine Venetian laces are very much em
ployed for trimming handsome cloth
gowns in the pastel colors.
lii Beautiful Broadcloth.
Here is an illustration of one of the
cleverest dresses in that, delightful
new shade, which is a softly pinkish
chocolate. Broadcloth is the material,
and the skirt is stitched down to be
low the knees in double tucks. The
extra fulness is very becoming at the
foot. The trimming which finishes
the edge so effectively consists of a
stitched miroir velvet band a shada
deeper enriched along the centre with
floral appliques—each and every petal
being cut out of the cloth and skill
fully applied.
The bodice blouse, sleeves and all,
is tucked to correspond with the skirt,
and it is topped off by one of the new
cape-like yokes with which nearly
everybody has fallen in love. It is of
renaissance and the cloth applique*
on velvet, and the chio turn-up edge
is of the velvet plainly stitched. Ap
parently it is caught together in front
by a creamy chiffon jabot edged with
tiuy ruches, aud held by beantiful

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
Tba conversion of the flintiest,
roughest limestone into soft, white
wool is one of the wonders of the cen
tury which will shortly appear ins
practical way to the manufacturer.
Apropos of the nse of the Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy in the
war iu South Africa, it is interesting
to note that it has been proved that
canuonadinp; does not interfere with
the transmission of messages. The
apparatus has been worked success
fully and messages sent while the
largest guns in the British navy were
being fired.
The latest calculation of the veloo
itv aud direction of the sun's motion
in space is by Professor Simon New
comb. He estimates that the solnt
system is being carried in a northerly
direction at the rate of 1G 1-2 kilo
metres—a little over 10 miles—per
second. The point toward which we
are moving is within a very few de
grees of the extraordinarily bright
star Vega in the constellation of Lyra.
One hospital in New York City has
adopted a camera to record minutely
the action of patients iu epileptic fits
aud similar afflictions, and many mov
ing pictures have been taken showing
the movements in walking of persous
afflicted with locomotor ataxia. They
are produced slowly on the screen, sc
that physicians are enabled to study
the symptoms carefully. Moving pic
tures have been taken in Vienna show
ing operations being performed bv
great surgeons.
The most destructive insects are the
locusts and the white ants or termites.
Reporting the work of these in India,
Mr. E. P. Stebbing stated that the
locusts iuvade the fertile districts
from their home in the sandy deserts
and in their course leave not a green
leaf or shoot in forest or field. For
est and moisture being their greatest
enemies, conversion of arid sandy
areas into plantations would tend to
check this pest. The white ants work
disaster to any building, yet render
service toman by rapidly converting
decaying wood into mud, doing no
damage to healthy trees. So marvel
ous is their instinct that they discover
aud attack a dead bruuch on any pari
of a tree trunk.
Sir John Murray recently summed
up the latest discoveries concerning
the ocean. The deep sea, he says, is
a region of darkness, as well as of
low temperature, because the rays of
the sun are wholly absorbed by tlie
superficial layers of water. Plant life
is absent, but animal life is abundant
in those night-haunted depths. 'J he
majority of the deep-sea animals live
by eating mud, aud by catching the
minute particles of organic matter
which descend from above. Many of
the mnd-eatiug animals are of gigantic
■size compared with their allies in shal
lower waters, but they nre the prey
of rapacious enemies armed with pecu
liar prehensile orgaus. Some deep
sea fishes are bliud, while others have
very large eyes.
ELECTRICITY FROM WIND.

"That's auotlitr of them ijjit yarns,"
said the British skipper to the mate,
as his privateering fork made a prize
of the last piece of bread ou the plute.
"These Yankee papers stretch out
stuff of that kind like the ship chau
dler does his bill. The'y miss stuys
half the time, and do no know what
they are talking a'jout." And he
threw the paper to one side.
"What blood- aud thunder yarn is
it this time?" nsked the mate, glanc
ing knowingly at the empty platter.
"It's no penny dreadful at all," an
swered the captain between mouthfuls.
"It's nothing less than a red hot
whopper. It's about them Dutchmen
who are fitting out an Arctic trip to be
gone four years. After telling how
the hull is to be strengthened in aud
out to fight the ice, it says that the
tub is to be lighted by electricity
throughout. Now, what I waut to
know is how they can make electric
ity without coal. They can't carry
enough coal in her to do the lighting
For four years. That's why it is a gal
ley yarn."
"Not at all," said the mate,although
lie felt a bit "slntky" in saving 'it.
"They dou't need coal to make elec
tricity. When I was up north in the
I'hoenix four or five years ago I saw
a boat called the Fram, which was j
twned by a chap named Nansen. Sh« :
was at Beigen at the time, and Ire- j
neinber that the mate took me aboard
ind showed me an electric lighting j
olnut that bent, old mischief. C'oal for :
;he dvnanos? Not a piuchful. They
worked their machines with powei
supplied from a windmill, and 1 tell
you it opened my eyes. No, lam '
not turning presstm.n, Captain, 1 am
telling you the honest truth. I hud
my doubts about it. though, until last
year, when I was in Boston. In the
Assyrian I met a very c lever young
Yankee who hailed from Wnlpole,
Mass., aud he claimed that he hnd the
first and only really successful wind
mill electric lighting plant in the
world. I told him that I could get to
windward of that claim, Imt he
wouldn't believe me. I afterward
learned that he lighted not only his
house nt AValpole with this windmill
plant, but his stables and grounds as
well. I don't believe ha ] 112 that I read
iu these Americau papers, but this
doing without coal for electricity is all
right. I'm very sorry to offend you,
but it's as true as the 'act that you
have taken my piece of bread."

KlnimlriVi Krratic Flight.
Herbert Kinnaird, one of tbe clev
erest young fellows in town, is chief
cook and bottle washer in J. A. Beaz
ley's furniture store. He is a first
class clerk, but there are many tricks
of the trade he has yet to learn. On
Saturday Mr. Beazley received a
dozen wire mattresses, which were
mashed down to a thickness of about
eighteen inches and tied with ro^k
Not knowing of the great force of
the springs, Herbert got upon the
bundle on his hands and knees and
begau cutting the ropes. All went
well until the knife severed the last
rope, when Herbert quickly left the
earth and started on a sudden jour
ney to what he supposed was the bet
ter land. After reaching a height ten
or twelve feet his course changed, and
the downward flight was begun. In
the latter be cut a dash through a
maple shade tree, knocking the back
off a dresser, broke three chairs sit
ting ou the sidewalk, and finally
reached terra firma bearing some dozen
cuts and scratches. The mattresses,
when released, flew in all directions,
and it is said one landed on the court
house portico.—Lancaster (Ivy.) Rec
