Fashion Notes.

In new stationery pale lilac, with
address or monogram in darker tone, Is
shown. Light and dark green are also
shown and dark blue, with white let
tering, is also a novelty. Yet there
are many who never use anything but
the white Irish linen with the address
in silver or gold. Unpunctuated let
tiers are also growing to be fashion
able fad
Chiffon jabots in variety of pretty
colorings are very dainty accessories
and make an otherwise plain gown
dressy and effective.
Smart jackets and topcoats have
fringes of leather. The comfortable
garments known as Dolgoroukis have
belts of leather studded with barbaric-
looking nail heads as large as silver
quarter of dollar, and tassels OF
leather. Hoods are invariably shown
on these garments.
A very handsome cape fashioned of
sealskin is trimmed with the tails of
Russian sable. A top cape is in close
plaits and the bow is an entire sable
skin. The cape is lined with rich silk
and is extra long and elegant.
The turban is fairly fashionable.
The most approved style fits rather
closely to the head, and recalls the old
days when saucer-shaped headgear
without trimming was looked upon as
quite the thing.

Goss.mer Clothing.

The manufacture Of gossamer cloth
ing. and also of rubber goods in gen.
eral, is, 1t appears, to be carried on by
means of new and improved process.
The method proposed is for the COM
pounding of rubber and the reproduc-
ton of colors in figures, checks, plaids,
by printing these on the rubber sur
face on gossamer garments, giving to
the latter the appearance OF the most
popular patterns of ''mackintoshes."
and at very reasonable cost An
important advantage possessed by this
method is that it does away with the
use Of cloth cemented to the rubber on
the inside, and furnishes light, elas-
tic. durable, and water proof garment
The rubber is on the outside and will
not gum or crack.

single Surface planners

Recent improvements have been
made in single surface planers which,
it is asserted Immensely increase the
power of that wonderful machine. One
of these, and the most notable. con-
sists in the inch sectional rolls, SO
designed as to take different thick
nesses of stock-that is, one OF these
sections will rise ree-eights of an inch
above another, allowing this extent Of
variation in the stock. The bar is also
made in sections to correspond to the
roll, thus securing equal pressure
throughout--thisl idea of sectional rolls
allowing the feeding of several pieces
of stock of varying thicknesses stimuli
taneously. The feed is operated by a
lever at the front end, and by means
of friction clutches the speed is altered
without leaving any mark in the board.
The back pressure is operated by q
screw, which, once set, Is clamped in
position. and the front roll pressure is
given by weights and the back spiral
spring. The speed of the cylinder is
1000 revolutions per minute; the bed
IL raised on inclines regulated by
screws on each side of the machine,
and are operated by handle at the
front. All the shafts are carried in
self-oiling boxes, and all oil holes are
accessible while the machine is in mo.
ton.

Lithocarbonic Properties.


The extensive introduction of the
peculiar mineral known as lithocarbon
is said to be probable. 1t is claimed
that it makes a perfect insul&tor,
that as paint it will resist heat or
gases Of any kind, that it is capable Of
being rolled into tissue free from odor
and that it is practically indestructible
when employed in the production of
mackintoshes, canvas betting, water
proof tents, etc. Further, it possesses
peculiar powers, such as enable it to
enter and fill the pores of iron and
steel, rendering those metals imper-
vious to acids; common leather is rem.
dered waterproof by it; by application
to wood pulp, a transformation of that
material is effected into a substance
that looks or acts like ebony or horn;
and the saturation of ships plates
with hot lithocarbon is declared to
Illustrate the attack of barnacles, and
the plate will neither rust nor foul;
and piece Of sheet iron covered with
lithocarbon japan is stated to have
been subject to an actual heat of AIS
degrees F. without crack or blister, re-
naming SO tenacious that the iron
could be bent at any angle without
disturbing the glossy surface. Again,
for vanishing railway and private
carriages, painting iron bridges. roofs,
steamships, houses, etc, this material
is an iusulator, and is said not to crack
or blister under any known atmos.
pheric temperature.

Now that Paderewssi is again among
us anecdotes of the adulation towhich
he is forced to submit are in order.
The London Times gives us this--the
latest: ''At one of his last recitals a
woman so debased herself as to fall
literally upon her face at his feet--a
proceeding (which was certainly as un-
comfortable for the pianist as 1t was
lowering for the woman. The Incl
dent, however, had the happy effect OF
bringing the other women in the audi
ence to their seoses."

Aluminium Bicycles.

According to recent statements some
of the most extensive manufactures.
of bicycles in Europe have for some
time past, been using aluminium in the
construction of that instrument, and
it would appear with considerable ad
vantage. For this purpose tie alumni
mum is allowed with small percent
age of titanium, a substance which IL
said to increase the strength of the
aluminium very considerably. The fol.
lowing are given as the results of the
tests of the alloy and metal employed
in this case: Tensile strength OF
aluminium, 90, 300 pounds per square
inch; titanium alloy, rs, 500 pou DIS.
These statements. IL correct, show
that the alloy possesses very great
degree of strength; it is greater, In
fact, than that OF wrought iron and
steel--4s, 0''o to o., 0o0 pounds-though
not SO great as steel wire. which has
a strength Of. nearly two hundred
thousand pounds per square inch.

As.s.,,l.lng T...,l. Fabrics.


Two interesting announcements~are
made in the French papers, one Of
these being the discovery of process
for metallizing textile fabrics by
which, as is claimed, the latter are
rendered. proof against the attacks Of
insects. The materials, such as wool,
flannel. calico. ETC., are for this pnS-
pose Immersed about an hour In a, boil
ing bath composed of two and one-haf
pounds OF s0lphate Of "copper" one
pound of sulphnric acid, and sixty-two
gallons OF water, the fabric being
calendered and dried after its removal
from the ffuid. The finish obtained
by this process will, 1t is said, bear
two or three washings before 1t is
again necessary to subject the cloth to
. repetition of the operation. Another
process deserving of mention, as Of
similar righteousness and utility, Is a
practical application of the well-known
fact that thin layer of magnetic oxide
Of iron will protect articles made of
wrought or cast iron, the method, as
now proposed, being to coat the sur
face Of the iron or steel by electro-de-
position with some metal or alloy
which is capable of being volatized at
about 1000 degrees; the article is then
placed in the furnace heated to this
temperature, the iron becomes oxidized
but only to the magnetic oxide stage
the metallic coating in the meantime
volatilizing, and the whole operation
requiring but few minutes.

To Prevent JoIts and jar.


BY means Of simple arrangement,
lately brought forward, it is found
practicable to prevent the jolts and
jars and vibrations common to vehicles
that are driven over rough roads or
upon street pavements when ordinary
wheels of rigid construction are en-
ployed. Surrounding the outside of
the periphery Of the wheel, and In
close contact with the tire, are series
of independent springs, which form
the outer tread of the wheel; these
springs are so arranged as to work in
with each other, and, when
moving under heavy load. their free
ends are sprung in toward the rim,
coinciding with the true or working
periphery OF the wheel, the springs

THE sPRINTINe PROPELLER.


with its aid, recently lowered the 100
yard record from 10 seconds to tx, a
feat that was simply astounding to
athletes the world over.
Thompson's device consists of a
hinged board fitted to a handle. The
sprinter uses one of these with each
hand. AS he pushes it forward the
two sections fold back against the
handle and offer no resistance to the
air, but when his arm is fully extended
and he begins to pull it back the flaps
open and offer a good deal of resistance
to the air. Thus as he pulls his arm
back he pulls his body forward, hav-
ing anchored his fists in the air, 30 to
speak. This scheme allows man, as
It were. to run with hands and feet al
the same time, and is quite worthy of
Australia.

FOR Preventing collisions.


A novel arrangement for preventing
collisions between their cars at rail-
way crossings with passing locomo-
tives has been adopted for the electric
street railway in Rochester, Pa. On
each side of the crossing, which con-
sists of four tracks, derailing switch
is placed, the normal position of this
switch being open, that is, a car pass
ing over it will be derailed; connected
with this switch is a series of levers
extending to the other side of the
crossing, at which point is located q
hand lever, by the use of which the
switch can be closed and the car al
lowed to proceed without being de-
rallied. The operator in handling the
switch retains his hold upon the lever
until the car has passed the point,
as Immediately upon his releas.
ing it the switch opens auto
matically. The point here relied
upon is that as car approaches the
crossing the conductor shall get off,
cross the tracks and, by the use of the
lever, hold the derailing switch closed
until the car has passed. One derail-
ing switch and hand lever are located
on each side of the track, but, in COM
ing from either direction, the tracks
must be crossed in order to operate
the hand lever which controls the
switch on the side Of the track from
which the approach is made. A regu-
lar block signal system is also main
tanned, thus reducing tue delays at
sidings to a minimum.
