in The Industrial World, such as a paneled
fado in oak or other wood; or if the hall had

a glow of rich color could be had by paint

red sealing wax, and the ceiling bright

tainly no more expensive than the usual
method adopted. may here mention that
no ceilings should be of a cold white color

but to check the entrance of the cold, damp
air. and consequently adding much to the
warmth and comfort of the house A cur
tain in the hall also helps to make the
house less drafty and adds to the general
effect, Lay the hall floor with tile or with
parquet flooring, which is certainly the
most preferable plan, or stain and varniSh
the wood floor Then "a rug or strip of car
pet, which can be easily lifted and cleaned,
will add to the feeling of comfort. If you
use parquet flooring, either in the hall or
in the rooms, do not have the designs com
posed of different woods, such as the light
and dark woods so often used Use one
kind of wood only, oak in preference, the
different grain of which will give quite
variety of tone. AS regards furniture, you
require little, but let that little be simple
in design and thoroughly good in work
manship. All you require is a small table
and racks for hats and coats and umbrellas,
and a bench or chair. If you are fortunate
enough to possess a few pieces of old armor

effectively here; failing that, few char

beginning was noted by craze for imita-
ton jewellery and meretricious ornament,
which now, happily, is on the decline. The
full, high sleeve and Medici collar remain
with u.s.
AT the present moment the actual make
is simple, but the materials are extremely
rich and costly, also the trimmings and
accessories. The close clinging skirts still
hold their own, especially for young women
with good figures; few add some ribbon
streamers some flowers, or beaded waist
bands with falling fringe of the same on
the hips. They are still made with the
crossway seam at the back, and thus form
the few plaits gathered close together at
the top; the skirt widens in descending
into the fanlike form. If basques are worn,
they are att. ched to the corsage; but round
waists are also much in vogue, and in this
case the skirt is sewed on to a slightly
pointed satin ribbon or rich gallon, and this
is worn over the bodice. The skirts are
generally lined, and rarely made over a
foundation. Trimmings are placed around
the lower part of the skirts, and consist of
deep embroidery or rows of gallons, or
bands of feathers or fur
There are some pretty blouses in oriental
material or cashmere embroidery, with
gold or silver thread intermiXed. These
are confined with wide black velvet waist
bands, studded with jet or imitation jewels.
These blouses and bands are often worn
with plain dark cloth skirt. Bodices for
evening wear are cut low, some round,
some pointed, or square, and are trimmed
around with gallons set with jewelry, mara
bout or sable. If the sleeves are short they
are represented by bunch of flowers, or
tuft of feathers, or band of fur, according
to the rest of the dress trimming; if long,
they are moderately pulled, and not too
high on the shoulders.
The ball dress shown in the, first cut is
made with gored skirt of ivory colored
MORE with narrow satin stripes of tur-
quose, interspersed with small pink rose
buds. The skirt is finished with garland
of pink button roses on each side of a band
of turquoise satin at the hem. The bodice
has deep folded band around the waist,
which meets in a point between the shout
ders, and is finished off with a satin bow
and edged with button roses. The re-
mainder of the bodice is of turquoise
chiffon, gathered very full over turquoise
satin, the sleeves being half MORE and half
chiffon.

ton A, the pressure on the air in the bulb
equals the outside atmospheric pressure,

outer atmosphere remains unchanged. But
If the atmospheric pressure increases there
will be an inward pressure upon the outer
sides of the vessel IT, on the contrary,
the atmospheric pressure dimnishes, the
pressure on the vessel is from within out
ward
A simple way of making these changes
of pressure visible isshown in curious old
barometer which, with others noted here
after was originally illustrated in La
Nature. 1t consists of an ornamental glass
flask with single opening in the side, to
which is attached glass tube bent up
ward at right angle The flask is filled
with water to point above the opening,
thus making it air tight, and the varying
pressure between the outer and inner air liz
Indicated by the rise and fall of the level
of the water i'm the tube.
Popular Science News also describes the
apparatus shown at the left hand of the
second illustration. 1t is made from an
ordinary bottle, provided with we'll fit
ting stopper preferably of rubber, though
cork will answer if previously soaked in
melted paraffine. The stopper is perfor-
ated, and glass tube about yard in
length and open at both ends, is passed
through ii to the bottom of the bottle
Before putting the apparatus together the
bottle is filled about one-quarter full of
water and the tube almost entirely full.
If the upper end of the tube is kept closed
by the finger the water will not run out,
even when it is inverted, and when ar
ranged as shown in the illustration, the
column of water should stand few
inches below the top of the tube, and will
rise and fall according us the pressure of
the atmosphere diminishes or increases.
That is when the ordinary mercurial ba-
-ren,eter rises this water barometer win
fall and vice versa
An objection to these barometers is that
they are more sensitive to changes of tenn
perature than of pressure, and on warm
day the column of water will rise in the
tube, Notwithstanding increased atmos-
pheric pressure.

form of air barometer 1t consists of a
