any particular style predominated. The
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 attached to the corsage; but round
waists are also much in vogue, and in this
case the skirt is sewed on to e 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 a
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-
quoise, 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 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.
In the second cut is illustrated an even
ing gown with high neck and long sleeves.

1t is said that the great light from an

The vitrified clay tile conduit seems to

Owing to the fact that horse feed is ex-

An electric device for clearing track Of
distractions is among the newest ideas. 1t
consists of a triangular steel folding frame,
over which net is stretched. This is

ton upon it. An additional arrangement
is a scoop to drop on the track. The recent
tests were very satisfactory.

~ and noiselessly poured into the cylinder,
on reaching certain height the previously
faint sound is far louder Any other tun-
ing fork which yields different note if
held over the cylinder will not have its
note strengthened Reverting now to the
original tuning fork, if while it is still
sounding and its sound is being strength
ened by its nearness to the cylinder we
continue to pour in water, the sound be-
comes as faint as it was originally.
If now the excess of water be again re-
moved until the tone of the fork is once
more strengthened, and if, removing the
fork, we sound the column again by blow
ing into it, we find that the column of air
emits the same note as the tuning fork.
Hence then the tuning fork could set a col
umn of air of a particular length in vibra-
ton SO as to produce the same note, and
this adding itself to the original note
strengthened it.
The rushing sound heard when certain
large shells are held near the ear is caused
by the fact that the mass of air in the shell
responds to certain sounds and strengthens
them.

A Singular Pendulum.

If you fill claret glass to the brim with
water and cover it with card or piece Of
stout paper so as to exclude every particle
OF air, the paper will adhere, as everybody
knows, by reason of the pressure of the at
nlosphere, to the edge of the glass, and this
80 closely that the glass may be turned up
side down and the liquid will not escape.
Here is another application of the same
principle.
Attach piece of thread to the center of
the card by passing it through a pinhole

Cleaning Cars with Compressed Air.

One of those simple inventions which
makes every body wonder why it had not
been thought of before is the new device
for cleaning railway cars adopted by the
Union Pacific railroad at its shops at Port
land. Or, says the Industrial World.
Compressed air, at a pressure of fifty
pounds to the square inch. is carried to the
cars by means of flexible rubber hose
with small nozzle. The apparatus is used
in precisely the same way that Il water hose
is used, the only difference being that a
compact stream of air instead of water
does the cleaning work. The results
achieved by this device are said to be ex
traordinary. Not only is the work more
thoroughly done than by beating with a
stick and by the use Of brushes, but the
car is cleaned in an exceedingly short time.
The effect on the plush cushions is said to
be particularly good, the compressed air
being, in fact, not only a heater but brush
as well. There is not crack or a Granny
IN the car that is safe from the searching
current of the compressed air.

smartly, according to a writer on scientific
amusement, without any fear of the glass
falling. But the neophyte must bear in
mind to grease the lip of the glass with
suet that it may adhere the more closely
TO the cardboard, and TAT any rate in his
earlier attempts) he will do well to use
toughened glass for the experiment.

"In God We Trust"

ed by an old farmer living in MARYLAND.
This conscientious Christian gentleman
thought that our currency should indi-
cate in some way the Christian charac-
ter of our nation. which, he argued,
could be best done by putting a motto
upon our coins expressing n national re-
lance on divine support in govern
mental affairs. 1t was in 1861. when $.
P. Chase was secretary of the treasury,
that this man wrote to Washington re-
specting his pet idea His letter was re-
ferred to Mint Director Pollock, who
discussed the question in his report of
1862.
Pollock and Chase were in favor of
introducing the motto at once, but con-
gress gave the suggestion no attention
whatever. :, In his next annual report
Director Pollock again referred to the
matter, this time in firm theological ar
gument, saying, THE motto suggested,
