Screens In Fashion,

Screens, so long out of fashion, are again
III high vogue, and Frenchwomen am,lse
themselves with hunting from old chests
and drawers odd pieces of old silk and hav-
ing frames made to fit them, from which
results new forms in screens, by which hap
hazard means, however, arc likely to be dis
covered no new form of beauty. 1t is the
latest amusement. japanese lacquered
ana embroidered screens are in much favor
here, but the japanese gildcd leather
screens, to which the English are partial,
seem to be not to French taste. Cheap Jap
aIlese screens are not, as a rule, desirable,
as they arc apt to be so raw in color that
they d~isorganize the whole color scheme of
Il room. More desirable are bamboo screens,
with panels Of Zanzibar matting.-New

AT the meeting Of the Trenton Boar,
OF Trade, held on Thursday evening Q
last week, Mr.. C. c. vermeule, of New
York, who is the topc grapher of the New
Jersey Geological Survey, spoke on th,
subject OF damming the Delaware. HI
sail:
The soundings which have made fol
the Geological Survey, indicate clearly
that the natural flow OF the Delaware in
the Summer season Is 5000 cubic feet per
second, and in 1879 9, $50 cubic feet was
gauged at Stockton. The drainage area
at Trenton Is 6,790. estimate, there
fore, that practically at ell times we may
depend on S22 horsepower per foot Of
fall, butwsssssesmount quantity equal
80. 4 horse power Is diverted by the Della
ware and Rarltan Canal, and 676 horse
power by the Trenton Water Power Com.
pany, leaving the amount running to
waste 191 horsepower for each foot OF
fall at Stockton. We may say 200 horse
power for each foot OF fall. About ten
feet Of fall is available, and consequently
1000 horsepower could be developed
right here at Trenton with about 1000
more surplus power, which could be rent
ed 10 mills with supplemental steam pow
er.
From Trenton to Bulls Island is twen-
ty miles 10 straight line. The fall of the
river is seventy feet, sixty feet OF which
could be utilized and would afford 10000
continuous more power or, with little
poundage, $4,000 horse power which
could be transmitted to this city. Four
teen feet fall aud 1880 horse power could
be developed at Wells Falls. Five hun
dred and fifty horse power could be util-
lied on Crosswicks creek at Yardvllle.
The power on which have figured
Is the very low water OF the Delaware.
A more practical matter Is contained 10
the fact that during six months OF each
year the power is about 2, 00G horse power
for each foot of fall. II part Of this
power could be stored for use during dry
weather 1t would be q distinct gain.
The simplest method of so storing pow.
er Is by means Of great reservoirs en- the
branches of the stream. The practicable.
ity of this depends upon the fall upon
which the water can be used. As one Gu.
bic foot per second continuous on one
foot fall gives 1l.36 horsepower at rem
tai Of $75 per month, 1t is worth 1918 annu.
al for each foot OF fall One cubic foot per
second equals 10, 76S, 900 cubic feet 10 six
months. To stere this water at Croton
will cost 500. 6l9, which seems to indicate
that 100 feet effective fall is needed to
profitably store water at these rates. Or
dinarily the cost will be much less and
probably 1t 10 safe to say that with 100
feet effective fall water can be profitably
stored for six months run or, on f1fty-feet
fall, for three months.

A gentleman arrived 10 this place on
Tuesday evening from Maryland, who
from what we learn was 10 meet New
York sharper. The sharper also put In
an appearance, but the Marylander had
been cautioned by one Of our prominent
men, and saved the $4,000 he had brought
with him by refusing to make the contem-
plated deal. l. seems that the New York
green goods men must have moved their
headquarters from a tewn in Warren
county TO this place. Look out for them.
Since the above was put 10 type we
learn that the Maryland gentleman arrlv-
ed 10 town on the 2:07 p. m. train and
stopped at the National Hotel, where he
was given room by the clerk, II. |.
Srope. Before going TO his room MIR.
Srope became suspicious from his actions
that he was the dupe OF some sharper, and
