The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-10-04

Many OF the collets are more in the
form Of ruffies and double ruffies than
anything. One pretty one is of corinth
red silk and Is cut on the straight, the
lower ruffie Being ten inches from the
neck line and the upper two inches
shorter. At the top there is a triple box
plated ruffie Of the same that makes a
becoming frill about the neck. With
two loops and ends of gros grain ribbon
this is very dainty collet for a young
lady Black silk, satin or velvet would
be even handsomer than red, which is
rather too voyante TO be in the best
taste.
/ have noticed among the early fall
goods some that are called painted silks.
The silk is generally pongee in dark or
light shades or black. with little clusters
OF dots OF a highly contrasting color
apparently stenciled upon them. A
black pongee had emerald green dots,
three in a cluster. and another had
scarlet dots of seven-one I'm the center
a little larger than the others, and the
six around it. It may be that this is
clever device Of printed silk, but it
looks like painted silk.

Fanny Davenport, and there were

"stop, Look and Listen"

Not long ago the widow of a western
sheriff brought suit against a railroad
company for damages resulting from the
death of her husband. II appeared in
evidence that he was standing on the
station platform waiting for the cup
train" to pass. and as soon as the rear
car had passed he attempted to cross,
but was run over by the down train"
which he had not seen approaching The
case was decided in favor OF the rail-
road company because the Judge ruled
that the accident was the result of the
deceased's own negligence.
1T is a maxim of law" said the Judge.
that when a man approaches a railroad
he must stop. look and listen. The de-
ceased stopped. but did not look nor
listen" Golden Days points the moral
OF this little story by saying that II Is q
pity such an eminently sensible rule Is
not more generally followed. Ii might
be called a rule for universal applica-
tion-not only when approaching a rail
road. bridge, ferry or any dangerous
locality. but on nearing any point In life
where an oversight may be fatal TO flu
ture success IL is wise to stop, look and
listen.

bilities and also the door of hope for the
young artist whose forte lies in paint
ing flowers.
Lillian Russell has new pale blue
satin gown for home. and on this Is
painted a bewildering maze of tall grass
es. from which peep scarlet peoples
The different greens in the grasses and
the leaves of the peoples are most
artistically treated, and the flowers look
as IL they grew there. The painted pat
tern extends all around the skirt. The
sleeves are puire. which fall back leav-
ing the round white arms exposed, ex-
cept for an undersleeve of spangled blue
tulle. A wide scarf Of that is tied across
the bust and falls TO the feet. With this
are a tiny teacap, a bunch of spangled
tulle as big as an ordinary rosette and
on top OF II one of open poppy and one
half open bud. This contrasts we'll with
the abundant tresses of the fair singer.
And let me say here that this hair all
belongs on that lady's head Many per-
sons assert that she wears a wig, but II
Is not so. All the daughters in the
Leonard family have magnificent hair
Lillian RussellS real name was Helen
Leonard until she married Braham. and
later Solomon. She knows how to dress
we'll and does It, So. though she makes
no pretense to lead the fashion, II shows
that painted silks will certainly find
favor with those who can paint and
those who can afford to pay an artist
Some OF the new plaids are frightful
the pattern is so large and striking, but
others again are very handsome. saw
one that was very ladylike, and at the
same time 1t was I'm the hight of style.
IL was Of gray twilled cheviot, with bias
diamond shaped plaids formed by white
lines, three one way and two the other
There was something very refined and
delicate about this plaid. II Is a pity
all arc not as neat and refined. The
dress OF which IL was made was cut
surplice waist over V of white lace
over pale blue silk. The sleeves were I'm
soft double puff, the forearm piece being
also OF plaid. The bottom Of the skirt
was perfectly plain. save for three lines
OF white castle braid.
The hat to go with this dress was OF
lustrous gray straw turned up 10 trl-
corne. with three turquoise velvet ro-
settles and two fancy plumes OF gray
chicken feathers. The saw tooth straws,
i think. will be worn quite far into the
autumn. They did not make their APP
pearance until summer was we'll adj
vanced, and they became 80 popular at
once that the fancy for them will be
long dying out. Some are trimmed
quite plainly. and others have perfect

The collet is now the fashionable fad
10 the way of trimming of ordinary
dresses. and it is also designed for the
purpose of affording something that is
next to nothing TO wear around the neck
end shoulders. There are many varie-
ties, some Of them more remarkable than
beautiful and others so pretty and so
stylish that one forgets what collets are.
They are really only make believe, but
as they are charming let admire
them and get one If we can, each OF us.
II We carGnot buy one already made, per-
haps we can make one ourselves We
can IL we know how and are willing to
try.
Let me tell you all how TO make three
or four styles. One-and perhaps two
of the most striking Of them all has

OF corded black silk. and had no orna-
ment save a Brandeburg TO fasten 1t.

NEW FORM OF BATTERY.
In the practical operation the metal
Is melted in any convenient furnace and
turned into shallow cupel, composed
Of ireclay or other suitable substance.
While cooling u is stirred with bar OF
iron shaped like a spatula. As soon AZ
the first crystals appear on the sides Of
the cupel they, must be- detached and
brought 20 the center AS they grad
ually collect together mass OF small
crystals Is formed, with the still liquid
metal filling the interstlceE. When tho
greater part OF the metal r. soldlned,
the remainder IL poured away. and the
mass Of crystals, which iR now I'm what
the inventors call the SANDY" condi-
ton, is struck several blows with tho
bar IT this IN done ~ the right moment.
~ falls apart into crystalline powder.
which IL placed on plate OF iron TO
cool, after which II Is only necessary 90
separate the different sized crystals by
sitting.
Among tho various applications OF
this process the manufacture Of cleo
trodes for gnlvRnlc batteries IL import
ant II 90 pulvcrized zinc mercury IN
added, and the mass heated with water
aciduated with sulphuric acid, pasty
mass is formed, having the consistency
OF soft soap. This Is a true amalgam Of
zinc. which can be compressed and
nodded into any desirable shape and
soon becomes very hard,
A new form of battery on the prln-
ciple OF the gravity cell has been de-
vised by NJ. Michel in connection with
this process. The negative pole consists
OF a porcelain cylinder, 10 the bottom Of
which is attached a basket OF amalga-
mated copper wire netting. This Is
filed with pellets composed Of the
amalgam Of pulveriZed zine and mer-
curry compressed into the proper shape.
The positive pole consists OF the usual
strip Of copper, and the cell is said TO be
remarkably efficient.

This is The Art Amateurs list of colors

and the same authority advises that hav-
ing found a suitable subject it should be
carefully sketched i'm with a rather hard
pencil-an II is the best. Care should be
taken not to have TO correct the draw
ing too much with the india rubber, as
il destroys the surface of the paper and
causes the color TO flow i'm blots and
spots. But having made the drawing the
next thing is 10 lay in the color If the
sketch is intended 10 be worked up TO
any finish it is best TO pass a wash of
yellow ocher over the paper so as to
destroy its opacity, but If the sketch is

necessary, for often very dainty effect
may be gained on the plain white paper
The sky should first be washed In with
a large brush fully charged with LIQUID
color. Cobalt is generally used for the
sky. According TO the journal already
mentioned, this blue possesses the quality
of expressing distances and should form
part of all washes in the far background
Mixed with light in different proportions
It will form warm or cool grays and with
yellow, green's. For the sky, in the
bright blues, pure cobalt is used but as
IL nears the horizon or in the shadows
of white clouds little light red is in
troduced
The deep green's of trees can be made
with Hooker No. 2, lampblack, yellow
ocher and a little crimson lake. These
must be used in various proportions, in

trees and fields and gamboge and indigo
in the foreground. For grass in the Inn
mediate foreground little brown pink
mixed with Hooker No. 1 is very useful.
All of the warm browns and often a
little Indian red can be worked into these
colors on the paper itself, not mixed Oh

TIsIaI Forces.

In all parts OF the seaboard the world
over where the tides rise high the con-
version of tidal force into electrical
power will some day be realized on a
scale which may make manufactures to
a great extent Independent of coal
affirms a San Francisco exchange, which
further says: The solar heat gives us
the rainfall which forms the great lakes
and renders Niagara an Embarrassed
giant of power. Niagara has partially
been utilized and will be to a much
greater extent. Solar and lunar gray
itation, quite independent of heat, give
us the tides, and these rise in places to
twenty, forty and even seventy feet
To make this tremendous force avail
able for turbines and conversion into
electricity, all that is necessary is to
form huge reservoirs of thousands of
acres. The tide would fill these at high
water, and at low water the reservoirs
could be run off at strong pressure and
made to operate turbines. Power thus
obtained could be transmitted great dis
tances. The advantage of this power
would lie in cheapness and constancy.

color. The edge at the top Is simply

half way down the bust II seems 10 give
n V shaped effect 20 the waist OF the
gown. The outside aud Innings are cut
just alike and the edges stitched. The
seam is then turned where the neck
part Is hemmed, the edges are slightly
pressed with not very warm iron and
the fastenings sewn on. II need nat
take over an hours work. and the style
Is very good
Another collet Is arranged I'm two
plated ruffies, one deeper than the other.
and the ends pointed and reaching the
waist. where they hang naturally cross
cd. This need not be lined IL made Of
middling thick goods. and the edges are
bound with ribbon of as happily contrast
ing shade. Cashmere black or dark
brown, with green ribbon Is very pretty.
OF course IL is understood that the green
is 10 be of soft and artistic shade.
though, TO be sure almost all shades are
used now. But we are supposing that
the lady is a woman Of genuine taste.
The collar is lined with silk. the color of
the ribbon and box plated SO that it
stands up as a pierrot ruffle.
Another very ornate collet has eight
cen pieces of black silk cut in shapes
something like A base ball bat. The two
front ones are the longest, and the others
graduate in length, Each is finished
separately. and then they are tackled to-
gether from the under side and fared a
very little at the neck. so that the col
lar may be formed with scallops at the
top. The different pieces are all round
ed. top and bottom, and lined with thin
silk and interlined with crinoline to give
tham shape. Each one OF these pieces
IS beaded with a few fine jet beads set
on irregularly, and one the shoulders.
where the scallops are but nine inches
long. there is a black lace frill, which
sets up high. so as TO give place to
sleeve. The front scallops are fourteen
inches long. and to the four center front
ones are four rich tassels Of jet with
fancy headings. This is a very rich lit
tie collet and can be made of black or
dark colored velvet, and II would be
handy for ladies who wear low evening
dresses to slip on 10 protect the chest

Plant. and Changes of the weather.

The actions of several common plants
when the barometer indicates a change
OF weather have been noted by a French
observer. He found that III heads of
clover and other leguninous plants
stand upright there will be rain. If the
leaves of sorrel turn up, IL was sure
sign of storm, which is also foretold by
the leaves of willow grass slowly turn
ing up. The closing OF the flowers of
convolvulus indicates rain, which, as is
so generally believed, may be said Of the
flowers OF the pimpernel and also the
hibiscus flowers. When the flowers of
sorrel open, IL is said to be a sure sign
of fine weather. but If they close IL will
rain. If the flowers of the carline thistle
close. there will be a storm. The ex-
banding flowers of cinquefoil suggest
rain, but their closing means fine
weather. The African marigold flowers
close before rain, while the scales of the
teasei pressing close together pretty
surely mean rain.
