Tulips. Japan lilies and Jaequeminot roses
have alike had their day of fashion and fabu-
lous prices. We import our styles in flowers,
as in manner and tailor costumes, from Eng
land. The London craze Is now for the cul-
ture OF the marvellous orchid family OF
plants. Both flowers and plants bring enor-
nous prices. There was an auction Of or
chids in London not long since. One plant
alone of a very rare variety, snow white,
with seven flower spikes, wa sold TO a Mr..
Bull, OF Chelsea, for $3.50. This Is equal TO
the tulip craze OF a century ago. Baron de
Rothschild gave a dinner last week at which
the table was wholly decorated with orchid
flowers. They were in one solid bank, and
covered all the table except the edge which
was required for the pilates. They cost thou
sands Of dollars. Baron Ferdinand de Roths
child has the finest collection OF these plants
In Great Britain. In the present orchido-
manu- which Is raging, a single root Of a rare
kind frequently brings as much as 500 "a
800. Florists nave searched the equatorial
regions over for new varieties. Orchid cul-
ture is a fancy which may well absorb the at
tention. The rarest specimens need a moist
hot-house atmosphere. Some are air-plants,
and grow without a particle Of earth. There
are one or two hardy ones growing native IN
this country. There are not more than tW,
or three fine general collections in America.
An orchid house would be- a fascinating Mt

A movement in favor Of the public training
OF boys and girls TO self supporting trades is
ON foot. 1t is growing in favor continually.
II the United States paid the attention she
should 10 teaching her-young people 10 be
come skilled artisans we would not long need
a tariff to protect American manufactures
The fact Is, We are behind the rest Of the
world in the encouragement of skilled labor.
In France and Austria there are government
industrial schools. From france, in conse
quence, comes the Sevres porcelain, unrivaled
in the world. Austria has training schools
in which girls are taught gold and silver
filAgree work, and boys designing and wood
working.
To women, especially, such schools are BEN
eficial. In France, lately, the Gobelin tapestry
factory and the national printing Office have
been opened to women worklnen. So well
had these been raine that they took their
places at once among the highest without
difficulty.
In Paris II Is estimated that 10 per cent. OF
the artisans in watch making. in the mann
fncture of flutes, pianos, harps. and Of surgical
instrument and ~bandages are women. There
are still other schools in Paris where women
are instructed in the manufacture of metals,
the repairing Of clocks and watches, and the
designing and manufacture OF jewelry. All OF
these women find immediate employment, the
demand for them being greater than the
upply.

One Is pleased to note that gymnastic exer-
cises and gymnasiumE for ladies and children
are quite the fashion in New York. Both
young and married women are regular ut
PENDANTS, and derive great benefit therefrom
Tn right kind Of calisthenics strengthens
weak and crooked spines and limbs, gives
plump, pretty chests, strong muscles, bright
eyes and dancing, red blood. It drives away
dyspepsia. But in practicing the exercises
the limbs must be absolutely unencumbered
by dress. The Season presents some pretty
and convenient gymnastic costumes, both for
ladies and children, as follows: ''Gymnastic
costumes for children are mostly composed of
short trousers and a blouse of gray linen,
either ornamental with rows of stitching or
embroidered tastefully with border of bright
colored cotton, and drawn in at the waist
with a broad belt and buckle or clasps; for
young and married ladies flannel robes are
particularly recommended, although dainty
arrangements are made up in soft wooden
materials, and above all dark jersey stuffs
the pantaloons, going down TO the middle Of
the leg, are buttoned below, and the blouse,
which is high and closed before, completed
by a short plated skirt, trimmed with col
ored braid; a colored plated FIRM goes
around the neck opening and encircles the
wrists; aband, with sash bow behind, makes
the costume fit well to the figure, yet With

The miles Of tubes pass underground, as all
wires and lines ought to. The pneumatic
tubes are of brass, in 20 feet lengths. They
are laid in trenches Of solid masonry. The
force is 50 great that it was difficult to get
boxes or carriers strong enough TO stand the
wear and tear. They are now made Of vul-
canized rubber, witt "A felt pad at the end to
break the blow when the carrier reaches its
journeys end. The Illustration shows the
operator handling these boxes.
The pneumatic carrying has long been in
use in tall manufacturing buildings, and for
very short distances. In the London Post
Office it is made use of extensively for mail
carrying purposes. But there they have relays
OF way stations at short-distance intervals,
nothing like the long miles now operated in
New York. Dur s~low-going British brethren
even prefer the pneumatic system 10 the
telephone.
The little rubber carrier holding the mes
sages shoots under the streets at the rate Of a
mile a minute. The machinery is very ex-
pensive. After it is in working order, now
ever, there is a saving. A number of mes
sengers to carry city dispatches, and of tele-
graph operators to repeat them, can thus be
dore away with.

SCIENCE zPRORESS


The Western Union Telegraph company
have just ndded to their New York Office an
attachment which marks a step forward In
mechanical appliances. This con
stitutes the longest pneumatic tube system
in the world. A word will make clear the
principle employed. Suppose the air to b
pumped out On "a tight tube till a vacuum Is
left. Then the air, suddenly let in, will rush
with such force as to carry small objects
along with 1t through the tube, from one end
to the other. That is the exhaust, or pneu-
matte vacuum method. Another way Is TO
drive n current OF air by machinery through
a tube with such pressure that in this case,
too, small packages will be carried along.
This is the air pressure method Both are in
use ut the main New York Office Of the w.
u. T. c. To get the force necessary tire
mendous pumping engines are used, a plant
OF four at each end Of the pneumatic line.

According TO DIR. Hyades, who has lately
returned from Terra del Fuego, whittier he
was dispatched ON "A mission by the French
government, the Fuegians are the lowest hu
man beings Ia the scale OF existence. Their
language contains no word for any number
above three; they are unable TO distinguish
one color from another; they have no re
ligion and no funeral rites, and they possess
neither chiefs nor slaves. Their only wea-
pons are bone pointed spears, and, as they
grow neither fruits nor vegetables and their
country is naturally barren, they are Obliged
to live entirely ON animal food. Even these
sayages possess, however, some social vir-
tues. They are not cannibals, they ~ill-treat
neither women nor the old, and they are
homogeneous.

A novelty for summer use, which will be OF
great service both to dressmakers and aides
who make their own dresses, is the introduc-
linn Of white skirting and dress fabrics al
ready tucked, the tucking ranging in width
from the mercst hair lines suitable for lingerie
and undertaking to the very broad styles
adapted to the formation of the full house
maid skirt and blouse waist. There is also
cluster tucking. with handsome insertion be
tween, in ''all-over7 goods, pretty for dressing
sacques, wrappers, night dresses and the like.
Some Of these materials are exquisitely fine in
texture, and the price by the yard Is not as
expensive as one might imagine. Thu less
elaborate styles are within the reach Of a very
moderate purse.

These engines arc among the largest IN
America.
The line operated is four miles long, from
the Western Union Office to T~wenty-third
street and Fifth avenue. Besides this, another
short line extends from the main office to
Wall street. From the exhaust pumps IN the
basemen Of the Western Union building a
line Of brass tubes ascends TO the fifth floor.
There the mouths of the tubes and the doors
opening TO them are. An ordinary message,
or fifty OF them, perhaps, are put into a box
shaped like a hollow cylinder. The box is
capped over with a tight cover. 1t is put
into the mouth of the brass tube, mounts to
the ceiling, follows the downward curve OF
the lube and descends to the ground, and
shoots along beneath the street till it reaches
Twenty-third street. There 1t falls into the
receptacle at that end Of the tube, sometimes
with a CHATTER as though the world was com
ing to an end. Or the programme may be
reversed, and the box sent from Twenty third
street 10 the main office.

The subject has come up again by Gov.
Hill, Of New York, asking II "science OF the
present day cannot provide a means Of taking
the life OF such as are condemned to die in n
less harbarous manneri' To which The
Electric Review replies: What more scieh-
tidc method can be devised than the applica-
ton Of electricity as an executionerl Persons
who have read the series of interviews with
electrical experts which have recently APP
peared in this journal CThe Review must have
observed that an electrical current Of 1000
volts Is considered the maximum which the
human system can receive without fatal re-
suits. whereas the wires which feed the lamps
with which our streets are lighted carry a
current OF 800 volts. How simple a process
IL would be TO connect the place of execution
in the Tomhs with the system of electrical
street illumination, so that electricity couti
be made the executioner of murderersl The
criminal would be placed in a chair, with his
head bound back against a bulb at the end Of
the wire through which the fatal shock would
be communicated, and it would be possible to
furnish the death seat with an automatic
attachment, 50 that the execution could be
effected at a given moment by the action of a
