is the invention OF a light by which pic

advantages of daylight. Electric lights
have heretofore thrown either too bril-

The Grand Duchess Maria Paulowna of
Russia, who il now seriously i'll i'm St.
Petersburg. is perhaps the clcverest and
most beautiful of all the imperial family.
Owing to these qualities of mind and body
II has always been one of the greatest
favorites i'm society. When the present
empress was crown princess h was
madly jealous of the Grand Duchess
Marie, because of the homage thrust upon
her from every side. Their strained rela-
tions were an open secret i'm the capital,
where the demands of society constantly
brought them together. After the murder
of Alexander H., whose favorite the
princess was, and who aided her i'm curb
ing her husband, Grand Duke Vladimir,
their relations grew moro intimate. Prior
to her illness the grand duchess was often
tn he seen driving with her imperial sister
in-law.
