WHAT SHALL WE WEAR ?
MANS House Coat.

Gentlemen's clothing is becoming more and
more luxurious. They say at the watering
places this summer the real "la-de-dah"
changed his garments four times day with
the regularity of girl
A man need not be dude, however, to en-
joy the pretty and comfortable Longing coat
in the illustration 1t in a measure takes the
place of the old-fashicned, long skirted, big
Powered dressing gown, which dangled down
to mems heels, and looked like distress.

UNDERGROUND CABLES.

At the bottom of the picture is seen the
style of cable used for electric lighting. The
others show various ways of grouping tele-
graph and telephone wires.
The insulating substance coating the War
ing wires is the one subject about which
the inventor maintains mysterious silence.
He claims that it is much superior to gutta
percha, it's insulation in short, being upwards
of 200 mcgohms per mile. What in the name
of sense is megohm! the reader will ask.
Well, the 'ohm' without the 'meg" is the
standard unit which measures the force with
which substance resists the passage Of cleo
tricity through it, The single ohm is about
equal to TIC resistance offered by piece of
pure copper wire $50 feet long and 1-20 of an
inch thick Megohm is a great ohm or a mil
lion ohms. Now you know. In New Yorl,
city there are so many wires over head that
the resulting electric currents are said to in
terfere seriously with the correct running of
watches. The air is full Of electricity.

But the oldest thing about amber is shown
in the picture. When it flowed out from the
tree first it was soft and sticky, and fell in
drops. If gnats or other insects were in its
way, of course it caught them and held them
Then more drops fell and the insect was at
length covered all over and buried for ever
Then the gum hardened and the insect was
shut up within amber walls, to remain for
ages, till some men of new, strange race
found it and treasured it as great curiosity.

Amber is found on the coasts of the Balt;c
sea, also in Siberia Greenland and on the
shores of Sicily. 1t has been obtained in
pieces as large as ten to twelve pounds. But
it is not so very plentiful any more.

An Amber Prison.

Amber is very beautiful clear yellow sub
stance. The ladies are fond of it to make
beads, bracelets, combs and breastpins. It
looks something like the hardened, transparent
gum of a peach tree, although it is much
prettier. Indeed, amber is supposed to be
really the gum of a cone-bearing tree. But
it was tree that went out of existence long
before the present race of man came into ex-
istence and so nobody knows much about it
for certain. Amber is very electric. If you
rub piece of it briskly with silk handker-
chief it will drive bit of down before it all
