The Flight of Birds.

Mr.. F. w. Brearey read the Other
day before the London Aeronautica
Society paper on the action of the
pectoral muscle in the flight of bird.
Experimenters in artificial flight, he
said, should reduce their theories to
demonstrable form. 1t had often been
stated, for instance, that the power
exerted by bird in its flight had been
greatly exaggerated, but no one bad
hitherto proved his assertion. It was
capable, however, of satisfactory proof
by demonstrating artiicially the ac-
ton of the pectoral muscle, by the aid
OF which weight became an accessory
to power. When the bird committed
| itself to the air the upward pressure
in the wings stretched the elastic liga-
ment, which formed part of the mus
Gle, to such an extent as to allow the
birds gliding upon the air without
any exertion. The weight of the bird
was the measure of this elasticity. 1t
was said by some that at least the bird
must possess the power by the down
ward stroke of the wing to raise its
own weight. But Mr.. Brearey said
that this was not an absolute necessity,
because the reaction of this elastic liga-
msnt aided the force of the down
stroke.
He proceeded to verify his assertion
by the action of a model, with wings OF
four feet spread, under which he had
attached an elastic cord passing under
the body ofthe model. Upon committal
to the air this just allowed of the wings
being expanded, so that the model
would glide downward. He then de
tached the cord and wound up his
power, calling attention to the fact
that he had wound the india-rubber
strands thirty two times. He showed,
however, that although this was sEffi.
Gent to create vigorous tapping o.
the wing when held in the hand, yet
when committed to the air it had not
the power to give one downward
stroke, and therefore it could only
glide as before. Holding it again
with the cord attached and the power
wound up the same number of times,
he showed that it was unable to flap
the wing, because the two forces were
exactly held in equilibrium. There
was third factor wanted before it could
fy-and that was weight. The model
being liberated, flight was well sus-
tanned, and upon being set free sew
eral times without being wound up
any further, it appeared able TO fly
with very weak power. the same
thing was observable with another
model, composed entirely of a loose
surface thrown into a wave action
his own invention. Mr.. Brearey re-
marked that this economy in flight
can only be obtained by something of
the nature of wing action, and must
be wholly wanting In any apparatus
actuated by the screw.

A New Bleaching Process.

AT the last meeting of the British
Chemical Society an interesting paper
was read on new process of bleach
ing. The basis of the new process
consists III generating the chlorine
which is the bleaching agent by the
electrolysis of dilute hvdrochloric acid
or chlorine salt solution. A low bat
terry power gave the most satisfactory
results in the experiments. The
method adopted consists in passing
the cloth to be bleached, for example
Turkey red cloth, through sea water
between two rows of carbon rollers,
the upper row being connected to one
pole, and the under row to the other
pole of the battery. The rollers are
caused to rotate slowly, and thus pass
the fabric from one end to the other.
Hypochlorite is formed, and on subse.
quent immersion in dilute hydroehlo-
ric or hydro-fluoric acid the cloth is
effectually bleached.

Hubbards are extremely elegant.
They are made of outlined Spanish

air of distinction to the summer dress
of q middle-aged Lady which it very
seldom possesses. These cloaks are
quite the novelty of the season, and

In the Dolman Country.

The Breton men look like overgrown
boys, with their short walstcoats and
shorter Jackets ornamental with nu-
merous rows of pearl buttons. The
cloth trousers are full, and the univer-
sal sabots complete one end of the COS
tune. At the other end is wide
brimmed low felt or straw hat, on
which it is Indispensable to wear black
velvet trimming, with two long black
velvet tails hanging behind. Leather
boots are kept for Sundays and fetes;
and the smartness on those occasions
appear to run mostly into the waistcoat,
| the colOred braiding on which Is al
most Eastern in its gorgeousness. Tine
skirts of the women's dresses are
| gathered into q broad band at the
waist, kerchief or shawl being worn
over the shoulders. The hair is plated
into broad band, which is doubled
on itself; and the muslin cap has two
long lappets, or ears, which are folded
back on the head, forming large loops
AS for the peasants themselves, the
majority of whom farm their own
small domains, they bear toil-worn
stamp very markedly, especially the
women. The barelegged women and
| girls seem to take their share, or rather
more than their share, in the hardest
| field labor; and their lot is very far
removed from what an English eye
would like to see. Many features of
the country life remind one of Ireland;
but the ingrained idea of the French
peasant to put by francs seems to carry
them bravely through the sternest cir
cumstances. Sill, with all their moil-
ing, they must be very poor. The
houses in the out-of-the-way villages
are little better than novels, in which
the cows frequently get the lions
share of the accommodation, with
floors of beaten earth, and old open
hearths, picturesque, perhaps, but
very smoky. The one article of furni.
ture in which luxury is displayed is
the bedstead, which is generally
piece of ornamental woodwork, reach
ing from floor to ceiling, with the bed
five feet from the floor, inclosed by
curtains or sliding shutters. As the
family grows richer substantial ward
robe cupboard is added to match tie
bed.

Rabbits in New Zealand.

Rabbits are playing hob with New
Zealand. They begin breeding at the
age of 8 months, and produce twelve
large families year. This prolific in
crease has overrun the country with
the pests introduced by patriotic
Englishmen and Scotchmen, and mil
lions of dollars worth of property ere
being destroyed annually. Crops are
tested upon, streams are INSTRUCTED,
and in some places the devastation has
been so great that farmers have been
driven FROM their farms. From So
100000 to 60,000,0 900 of the risky limo.
cents are killed every year, but, with
their reproductive capacity, the living
rabbits do not mind little thing like
that, which only amounts to a decima-
ton. The ferret has been introduced
as an antidote, but that unreasoning
bit of condensed agility has no less a
nose Tor chicken than for rabbit. and
utterly refuses to make distinctions in
behalf of the farmer. And so bunny
goes on multiplying, with fair pros
pect ahead that the short-tailed inya-
ders will have the island entirely at
their own disposal before an act of
Parliament Is discharged upon them.

Fashion,.

Outside garments, If worn at all,
seem necessarily expensive this season
because they are of lace, and real lace
is and must be costly. Light imita-
tons are not now considered good
style even by those who do not pretend
to the "real." Spanish laces are the
rage of the hour, and if these are not
good they show their poverty SO
plainly that few have the courage to
display them in large way. In rich
lace the large NANTES are beautiful
and SO daintily gathered up in grace
full folds and ruched and ribboned that
it is difficult to tell what the precise
form is until they are arranged upon
the person, and then it is seen that
they have the mantle shape, and that
the folds fall naturally over and in to
the arm, and that the fronts are fire.
quently shirred and finished with
more ribbons at the waist line revi-
val, in fact, of the mantle finish of
many years ago, Smaller conceptions
are the most exquisite things
imaginable. Yet they are SO
enriched by ruched lace and
trimmings, and the fabric of
which they are composed is SO costly,
that small garment represents
high figure.
One thing is to be observed, that all
garments (outside) that are successful
of late years outline the form more or
less by being cut TO fit it or gathered
in to its shape. Attempts have been
made to revive the long scarf, straight
upon the back and hanging straight
Down in front; but they have been
comparative failures. Shape, outline,
is demanded, and the draped costume
with more or less of modification will
probably last out this generation and
constitute the underlying principle in
whatever changes are introduced.
Summer Cloaks.
ClOaks in summer seem misnOmer,
and excepting as dust protectors,
useless. Yet they are not so. Oddly
enough, the caprice of the season in
outside garments Is for the two ex-
tremes-very large, in fact, Mother
Hubbard cloaks, and capes or fichus SO
small that they do not reach the line
sof the waist. These summer Mother

Charles Reade's True Woman

Charles Reade's True Woman.
Reade, in fact, invented the True
Womsn. That is to say, he was the
first who found her. There have been
plenty of sweet and charming women
in stories-the patient, Loving Amelia;
the bouncing country girl, Sephy
Western; the graceful and grdcie,lses
ladies ofScott the pretty dummies of
Dickens the insipid sweetnesses OF
Thackeray; the proper middle-class
Tor upper-class) girl of Trollope; the
conventional girl of the better lady
novelists. There have also been disa-
greeable girls, especially the badstyle,
detestable girl of the "worser" lady
novelists bat Reade-the trouUere-
has found the real woman. You will
meet her on every page of all his
novels. What is she? My friends,
Columbus's egg was not simpler. She
is just exactly ike man, like our
selves but with certain womanly ten
denotes. Like ourselves, she ardently
desires love. She knows that it is the
best-tbe absolutely best-thing the
world has to give: that we are all born
for love-man and woman alike; that
to lack this consummate and supreme
blessing is to lose the best part of life.
Since she desires above all things to
be wooed, and is forbidden to WOO on
her own account, she conceals her own
thoughts, yet, from her own expert
ence in hiding, she is quick at reading
the thoughts of Others. She is salts
fed with nothing less than what she
herself gives, which is all herself. Her
reserve leads her, in the lower natures,
to deceit and falsehood. Her devotion,
which is part of her nature, leads her
also in the lower natures to suspi-
cion and jealousy. She is always in
the house, and therefore her mind is
apt to run in narrow grooves. The
prodigality and wastefulness of men
are things beyond her understanding
or patience. She is IMMERSED in affairs,
and therefore comprehenis nothing of
compromise. She is generally ilI-edu-
Gated, and therefore is incapable of
forming a judgment hence she is
carried away by every wind of doc
trine; as, for instance, in matters &c
clesiastical, knowing nothing of the
Early Church or its history, she be
lieves the poor little Rituallst curate,
who knows, indeed, no more than her
self or in Art, where, for want of a
standard, she is led astray by every
fad and fashion of the day, and wor-
ships sad. faced fiatn esses with rapture;
or in dress, where, her taste being un-
cultivated, she puts on whatever is
most hideous and unbecoming, provid-
ed it is worn by everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles
Reade presents to us; she is not, at all
events, insipid no real women are if
she is artificial, she hows the reaf
woman beneath. What he loves most
is the woman whom fashion has not
spoiled; the true, genuine woman,
with her natural passion, her jealousy,
her devotion, her love of admiration
her fidelity, her righteou US wrath, her
maternal ferocity, her narrow faith,
her shrewdness. even her audacity of
falsehood when that Can serve her per-
pose, and her perfect abnegation of
self.
