FASHION NOTES.
ToM HooI,

The new spring goods show revival Of
the heliotropc shades so fashionable eight
cen months ago.
The fashion of thick bedices with skirts
and draperies of tulle, gauze, yelling or
muslin is steadily gaining ground.
For travelling, wear soft striped woolens
or homespuns in tints Of gray Suede or
gobelin blue are chosen by ladies whose
taste is unimpeachable.
A shoulder cape, with long scarf-ends
that are knotted in front and fall below
the knee, is new spring wrap both grace
full and stylish if sufficiently worn.
The latest fancy for the finishing OF all
the smooth heavy cloths is to pink the
edges, and in some cases these pinked
edges are linked with another color.
A fashion of last summer and autumn is
likely to be revived this season-that of
wearing tailor-made skirts of English
cheviot, figured in small, neat plaids, with
bodice of plain color.
Pink fiounces begin to rage, and the cor
rect width is from five to eight inches.
The lowest one should go all around. as a
finish to the shirt, whether or no the drap-
cry allows it to be seen.
Pale-pink cloth is made up in tailor
suits for the half season, and has hat and
coat to match--the latter with a very full
vest OF pink-china Grape, " shocked or

is long redingote of long wool, falling
straight and plain over plated skirt OF
gray silk, and with wide wooden revers,
rolled back from plated chemisette OF
the gray silk.
Cloth jackets in copper. the new greens,
blue-green, suede, tobacco-brown, gray or
bright red are among the most serviceable
purchases one can make, as the present
fashion allows them to be worn with any
costume that does not make contrast pos
itively murderous

THE MISTAKE OF HIS Lrrs

Der urred in 1872, when he left the Repub-
liz an party, and though the Democrats
+ 3lected him Leutenant-G Governor and to
Congress, he was never appreciated by his
new associates as he had been by his old
ones He was an admirable conversation
alist, slow to make enemies, and to the few
who knew him well boon companion.
He had marked faults, but they already
are forgotten in remembrance of his pleas
ant virtues. He was gradually making
the New York Star taking and paying
paper, and had he lived another year it
would have become the leading accredited
organ Of his party. Pulitzer hated him
with a cordial hatred, and the World never
let an opportunity pass without saturating
him with its venom. But he made light
of their attacks, and by dignifed and
manly course found his influence constantly
on the increase. The Press Club ranked
him among its best men, and was promi-
nent in attendance at the last rites. His
body was borne to Erie county to rest
with his fathers by the great Lake, and
that his rest may be sweet is the loving

WET AND DRY WINDS.
Why Rain Does Not Fall Equally In All
Places.


We have learned that rain is caused by
the cooling and condensation of the moist
IRE in the air. Bearing this in mind, let
us study the surface of our country and
see why the rain does not fall equally on
all parts of it; instead of falling very
abundantly in some places, as in New Eng
land and some of the Gulf States, and very
sparlngly in many parts of the West. as in
New Mexico and Arizona.
The winds which blow TO this country
from the south and the east, being warm
tropical winds, can hold moisture. and are
full Of this invisible vapor of water which
they have taken up from the Gulf of
Mexico and the ocean. Coming to the
cooler land they gradually become cooled.
Their moisture, therefore falls as rain
while they pass over the land, till, by the
time they reach Western Kansas and Col
orado, the moisture being gone, no more
rain can fall. But the winds which come
to this country from the north and west
are colder than the land, and, as they
sweep over it, toward the south and east,
they gradually become warmer; so that
instead of giving up their moisture in the
form Of rain, they are constantly taking up
moisture from the earth. 1t is for this
reason that our north and west winds are
dry winds, and mean fair weather; while
the south and east winds bring rain. For
this reason, also, the Eastern and Southern
States have an abundance of rain; while
the Central and Western States are often
very dry.
And there is still another point to be
considered. We already have noted the
fact that at great nights the air is cooler
Hence, when warm wind full of moist
ure comes blowing across the country and
strikes mountain range, it bends upward
and rises high in the air to pass over. In
SO doing it becomes cooled, giving up its
moisture, and passes over TO the other side
a dry wind. 1t is for this reason that some
islands, like the Hawaiian Islands in the
Pacific Ocean, where the winds blow al
most always from the same direction, are
subject TO almost continuous rain or one
side while on the other rain is exceedingly
rare. This also shows why California,
west Of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, re-
ceives sufficient rain to make the soil fit
for cultivation; while Nevada, on the east,
is nearly rainless and barren. The moist
ure coming from the south and east is all
condensed by the Allegheny, the Rocky
and the Wahsatch ranges; while that from
the west is cut off by the Sierras. Hence,
the great extent of country known to ge-
ologists as the Great Basin-which reaches
from Oregon on the north to Mexico on
the south, and from Colorado on the east
to the Sierras on the west, comprising an
area of not less than 200,500 square miles,
which is nearly equal to the whole of
France-receiveS over great part of its
surface an annual rainfall of not over four
inches, and is therefore dessrt.-S.

Source of Diamonds.

Professor II. Carvill Lewis, from an in
vestigation of various diamond-bearing
strata, comes to the conclusion that the
mother-rock or matrix of this gem
is serpentine in the form of decom-
posed eruptive peridotite. Thus, in
Borneo, rivers which drain serpentine
district supply diamonds and platinum. In
New South Wales, where serpentine oc-
ours, diamonds are also found, and SO
is platinum. In the Ural diamonds
and serpentine appear to go together.
North Carolina is distinguished for its
serpentine, and diamonds have been
found there. South California, where
diamonds and platinum are found, shows
outbursts of post-carboniferous eruptive
serpentine. At all of these localities
chronic and titanic iron ore occur in the
demonstrating sand and these minerals
are constituents of serpentine.
