A French scientist. N. Walther, has made soma observations in the Msditer. ranean sea of the manner In which chalk is formed by sea weeds He par ticuiariy studied the lifhotarnnia of the Bay of Naples, which grow at depths of from 100 .fo 300 feet, 6 class of alsn re,narkabIy poor in organic matter. but rich in mineral constitu- ents, among which carbonate of lime is preponderant. They grow to be about as large as the hand. and then die without suffering change of form by decomposition Living plants attach themselves to dead ones. and thus ex- tensive deposits are formed. Beds of pure. uDcrystalired chalk remain after the gradual disappearance of the or ganic matter. the vacancies left by which are gradually filled with cal. careois substance. Beds of chalk thus formed may. under some conditions, attain great thickness = Journal of Health.

Engineer Officers Dinner.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is The engineer
officers of the navy give dinner at
Delmonic0's tonight, for which invi-
tations have been issued to all the
officers now in active service and all
of those who at any period did hon.
orable service in the regular or volun.
teer branch of the engineer corps of
the navy. 1t is expected that Com
modore George w. Melville, chief of
the bureau of steam engineering, will
preside. The idea of tie proposed
gathering is to foster a closer touch
between the present and past officers
of the engineer corps. Many Of the
latter are now influential men in
civil life, and not q few are
of national reputation. All these
former naval engineers retain
their close sympathy with the en-
gineer corps, and almost to a man
are ready to lend their efforts and in
fluence in enhancing the standing of
the present members or the protes~
sion in active service. 80 far as re-
cent Developments in the navy as
brought out by the blow Inflicted by
Secretary Tracy In the findings of the
Danforth courtmsrtial are concerned,
the coming dinner cannot pe con-
sidered an outcome OF this affair
Nevertheless, If. engineer officers of
the navy ever before failed to appre.
ciate the value of standing by
one another they have at least
learned lesson from the result of the
Danfortb affair.
The engineering profession is
deemed by its members just now too
important q branch of the public
service to be turned down by stroke
OF the pen by the Secretary
of the Navy, and q large number of
line officers who have hoped that the
decision in the Dsnforth case would
serve to forever settle the authority OF
line officers, are apt to find that the
engineers are not yet prepared to be
su bordinated when it comes to ques
ton of usefulness. 1t Is doubtful II
the people, generally, ever under
stood bt tier the merits. of a naval
case fiji ding than the one which Ste.
rotary Tracy has iuss turned down.

HOUSEHOLD.

Entertainment has been made easy by the
prevalent custom of teas and receptions.
Even in home of most modest appoint
difficult. In these, as in other things, ex-
travagance may be exhibited by profusion
of flowers and by elaborate refreshments,
yet simple affair may be made quite as
pleasant.
The hours for tea or reception are
usually from to Z. The hostess and re-
ceiving friends are beautifully dressed, and
the visitors are expected to be in their
handsomest calling costume. 'If the tea is
formal one, the invitations are sent out at
least ten days in advance, and if the invited
guest is unable to attend, she should send
her card on the day of the reception.
When, however, the tea is informal, it is
in good form to send penciled invitation
on the lady's visiting card. All that is
necessary is slight repast, bouillon, choco-
late, sandwiches, cake and bon-bons being
considered quite enough. OF course there
is no embargo laid upon more elaborate
table if the hostess so desires.
Unless the reception is given on the lady's
day at home, 4 call is expected; if on recep-
ton day, the attendance is considered a
call
The custom of introduction on these occa-
sions is embarrassing, and is really unneces-
sary, for 1t would be reflection on the
hostess to suppose it possible to meet unde-
sirable people at her house. Hence it fol-
lows that no lady should hesitate to engage
in conversation with her neighbors simply
because Mrs. A. hiss not been told by Mrs.
B. tiat the lady on her right IS Mrs. G. 1t
is really simple courtesy TO exchange civil
remarks with the friend of your hostess.
Is it necessary to say that on such occa-
sions all personal animcsities should be for
gotten, and ladies meeting in the home of
a mutual friend should in no way make
their unpleasant relation to one another
manifest The old sore need not be healed,
if it is the wish to keep it open, by this
temporary plaster true politeness puts
upon it.
The duties Of hostess at a tea or recep-
ton are light. She is expected to stand in
some convenient place to receive her guests
and in taking leave of them; when she can
do so she win pass through the company
and see that there is no formality or stiff-
ness in the circle tits also her duty to see
that from time to time different ladies pass
into the tea room where her assistants are
presiding. The arrangements there are
usually large center table decorated with
flowers, upon it the refreshments and the
tea kettle. chocolate pitcher or cofes urn

ton to relinquish those effects by which
greater breadth of shoulders is attained,
only there is an apparent inclination TO sub
sritute the shoulder frill, which gives an
aspect of breadth without making it seem
so like a trick or device. To this end re-
course is had to yoke, from which hangs
a loose but not over-full frill of the material
In tea gowns and house dresses use is made
of some cobwebby material like chiffon,
with sprigs of embroidery and button-holed
at the edges. Lace, too, is very modish for
shoulder frills-Chantilly, Brussels, Span
ish or guipure. 1t is not necessary to en-
circle the bust entirely, but stop at the
shoulders in epauIette style, and in this case
carry it down in cascades to the point of
the corsage in diminishing width. Guipure
in faint yellowish tinge is much worn,
spreading itself in wide pelerine style over
the shoulders.
Among the present accessories to dress
is the corselet. This is worn with all styles
of dresses. 1t is made of satin, velvet,
pearl or jet passementerie, or crepe covered
with black or white lace.

an easy way to clean handsome blankets
