la connection with the Pacific cable
a very interesting question arises, saiys
the Engineering Magazine. From
where Is the gutta-percha for this Ki
gantic cable to comet Every whisper
t the construction of a transpacific!
line sends the gutta-percha market 1 at
Singapore bj by leaps and bounds. The
ruling price of the gum Is the highest
that has ever obtained. It Is stated,
on -what authority It Is hard to aay,
that the visible supply of gutta-percha
Is Insufficient for the task, and that If
Uils cable Is laid It will be the last the
last -with gutta-percha Insulation at
least
While this pessimism on the part of
the gutta-percha producers savors
somewhat 'of a desire to stiffen the
market, there Is yet a sufficiently rea
sonable foundation for It In the wanton
destruction .of the gutta-percha forests.
It win be interesting to see the out
come of the situation. If the United
States acquires an island in the Caro
lines the building of the cable line
seems possible, though expensive. It
they do not find a landing place the
operation of the cable seems to require
a prohibitively costly plant And
meanwhile there is the question of the
disappearing gutta-percha tree.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE3.
Kst-ltth Workman Have Many Objection!
to Their Introilnctloa.
English workmen do not view with
complacency tho Introduction of the
American locomotives on the Midland
railway. They are not only an af
front to their national pride, but they
ee In them a positive menace to the
engineers' trades union, which has
been one. of the most powerful In all
Europe. The American locomotive Is
placed on tho rails In Great Britain
at a coat of from 20 to 30 per cent lesi
than the Uritlah makers con produce
the same sort of machine. So the
working of the American locomotives
Is watched with much more than ordi
nary interest by men on both sides of
the ocean. It the machines can ba
made thoroughly adapted to British
requirements at such a saving of cost
to the British railway companies, it
means that the British maker must
produce them at a like cost or else
be thrown out of the market That
means lower wages to the British
workman, and aguinst that he will
fight with all his characteristic ob
stinacy, as he has to the Introduction
of labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn out and disastrous strike
which made possible the Introduction'
of the American locomotive, has not
taught them the whole of their lesson.
There Is even now a proposition on
foot that the union of locomotive
drivers shall adopt a rule prohibiting
members from handling an American
made locomotive, when the engineers'
union shall reach the conclusion It It
does, that the Introduction of the
American machine threatens seriously
the wages of their trade.

out linings. The frouts are hold eas

the top, and gathers give a slight
blouse effect at the waist line, the back
being drawn snngly by gnthers at
the waist. A narrow band finishes
the neck and holds the studs with
which the slsnding collar of white
linen is adjusted.
The stylish one-seam ileeves have
the slight fulness now approved by
fashion, gathered at the top and
wrists, the straight link end's being
shaped with rounded corners. Laps

The wrists are completed with
pretty, flaring end's, and the nook has
a collar that flares to match. The skirt
is especially desigued for thin or wash
fabrics, having smooth front and side
gores that flare stylishly, while the
straight hack breadth is gathered
closely at the top and falls in graceful
folds to the foot. Narrower frills or

HOW TO WASH FLANNELS.
Dissolve fine shavings of Ivory Soap In boiling water,
and when cool enough to bear your hand in it, immerse
one piece of flannel. Don't rub it with soap, but knead
It with the hands. Don't rinse In plain water or in cold
water, but make a second solution, warm and well blued,
for this purpose. Use a clothes-wringer ; hand-wringing
Is Insufficient. Dry quickly In a warm place. If left to
stand wet, flannel shrinks.
Cut out these directions and tell the laundress to follow
them with Ivory Soap. It keeps the flannels very soft.

Some Missouri lawyer has Invented
a brand-new basis for a claim for dam
ages against a railway compny. He
has a client who was a member ot the
non-commissioned staff of one ot the
volunteer regiments enlisted for the
war with Spain. While the army was
being concentrated In Florida the sol
dier, by reason of alleged negligence
ot the Fort Scott and Memphis Rail
way, fell from a car at Jacksonville,
sustaining Injuries that necessitated
bis discharge from the army. Through
his attorney he has now brought salt
against the railway company (or S25.
000 damages. The peculiarity ot the
case lies In the fact that plaintiff sets
forth In his complaint, as one ot the
principal damages for which he seeks
recompense, "that by reason ot defend
ent's negligence, plaintiff was deprived
of bis opportunity to win glory and
honor as a soldier In the war with
Spain, to his loss and damage."
