Hints for Home Dressma kers.

Harper's Bazaar gives these hints to anna
teur dressmakers: Economists who make
their own evening dresses are most success
full when following the simplest models
They can also purchase pretty materials at
small cost. The fashionable shot moires
are already copied in light evening colors,
stylishly striped with black in mixed fab
RIGS with silken surface that are sold for
seventy cents yard These are very
effective when used under net or chiffon,
either white, black or colored, and trimmed
with bows of satin ribbon. Soft satin surahs
make charming gowns for young girls when
cut with rather full skirt and baby waist,
with deep chiffon frill around the neck and
black velvet belt with long sash ends
Striped gauzes with a flet or thread of
black in each stripe are pretty transparents
for freshening faded or soled silk dress of
last winter The gauze may be of the color
of the silk or in contrast to it, the latter
giving the newer shot effect.
"The becoming black dresses that are seen
on every occasion may be made at small ex-
pense when a black MORE, satin or brocade
of previous season is utilized as founda-
tion for black point d'esprit net, or jetted
net, or the pretty black chiffon Colored
silks or satins are also used for these foun-
dations-in pearl tints, pink, green or vel
low. The satin bell skirt is covered plainly
with the black transparent and bordered
with black ruche thickly spangled with
jet. A full, low, round corsage has black
velvet bretelles, belt and sash that are also
spangled Pulled sleeves of the spangled
fabric are made of becoming length or to
meet the tops of the gloves"

THE SIMPLEST FORM OF RAIN GAUGE.
falls on this area is collected in the bottle,
and the quantity which has fallen during
the period of observation is measured by
means of graduated glass Thus if in
twenty-fo hours the quantity collected
measures 23 fluid ounces, this is equal to
four cubic inches, and if the area of the
funnel is twelve inches, this represents a
rainfall of one-third of an inch in twenty
four hours. The funnel and bottle are
usually inclosed in a metal cylinder which
is taller than the funnel. so as to retain
any snow which may fall
Many local circumstances may affect the
quantity of rain which falls in different
countries but, other things being equal,
most rain falls in hot climates, for there
the vaporization is most abundant. The
rainfall decreases. in fact, from the equator
to the poles. The quantity varies with the
seasons In Paris, in winter, it is 40 inches;
in spring go in summer 6.3, and in
autumn, 4.S inches The heaviest annual
rainfall at any place on the globe is on the
Khasi hills, in Bengal, where it is 600
inches, of which 500 inches fall in seven
months.
Under similar circumsla nces the guam
tity of rain diminshes with the distance
from the sea- Thus, if the annual rainfall
is in the center of Germany. it is LIZ in the
center of England and |. ~ on the English
coast. An inch of rain on II square yard of
surface represents fall of A "a pounds, or
All gallons

Long Jackets and Other Wraps.

Long jackets are more prevalent than
any other style of wrap, but the cold
weather has brought out the long cloaks,
some of which seem to be all collars and
fur trimming. The fashionable length of
jacket cannot be said to be becoming,
and it is neither one thing nor another.
Those for smart wear are in black velvet
or seal plush, with jet pockets and cuffs,
or with a rich trimming OF jet and no
pockets or cuffs. There is an attempt to
introduce nonfitting jackets in rough
cloth, Astrakhan or sealslxin, but at present
there is not much inclination for them.
They only look well on tall, slight figures,
and those figures, as a rule, like to show
themselves in well fitting jackets. The
hooded cloaks which look as If they were
cut from a large checked Angola shawl,
fringe and all, are becoming popular for
driving and travelling.

How Coast Tribes of New Guinea Live

Many of the coast tribes of New Guinea
live in pile dwellings in the sea, Upon a
strong platform raised on piles driven into
the sand they build rainproof houses of
laths of split cane and thatch the roofs
with palm leaves, The rooms are lofty, and
the better class of dwellings are provided
with veranda in front, from which a lad
der runs down to the water
Communication with the shore is OF
course had by means of boats, one of which
is always kept moored to the ladder. But
why do the natives live in houses like these,
which, in spite of their healthiness, are not
very convenient? Partly because it is ter
ribly hot on shore, but mainly because the
fierce folk that live in the bush in the inte-
rior of the great island are fond of making
sudden attacks on the settlements along
the coast Therefore, to avoid these sur
prises, the possible victims hit upon the
device of erecting their houses on piles in
the water, where, if not positively safe, they
cannot be raided unawares.

EFFECT OF IRRADIATIoN of the image. 1t
bears the same relation to the space occu-
pied by the image that the duration of the
impression does to the time during which
the image is seen.
The effect of irradiation is very percepti-
BILE in the apparent magnitude of stars,
which may thus appear much larger than
they really are; also in the appearance of
the moon when two or three days old, the
brightly illuminated crescent seeming to
extend beyond the darker portion of the
disk and to hold it in its grasp.
Plateau who investigated this subject,
found that irradiation differs very much in
different people and even in the same per
son it differs on different days. He also
found that irradiation increases with the
luster of the object and the length of time
during which it is viewed. 1t manifests
itself at all distances; diverging lenses in
crease it, condensing lenses diminish it.
