Novel Lamp shades.

An English electrical firm Is intro
ducing some 8 -riklng novelties in cleo
trio lamp shades. These shades +
made OF q specially selected descrip-
ton Of natural feathers, dyed in choice
tints, and arranged In artistic shapes
and combinations OF color. Among
other beautiful designs OF shades for
floor and table lamps are the represen-
tatiOns Of various kinds OF flowers
made separately and grouped together
on skeleton frames. The result Is an
.ntire departure from the hackneyed
style OF. silk and lace shades now IN
vogue. The general construction Of
the shades Is protected by a patena,
and eyery design is registered. It is

TOURING LAWYERS IN NEW
YORK.

Forced into Unusual Methods OF
Gettins Case by Dull Times.
The struggle for life In New York
City Is fierce In all professions; not
the least 50 III the legal. "a lawyer
cannot advertise his ability and de
sire for business In the newspapers
as am erchant does his wares. Il he
does he is expelled from the ranks in
disgrace. Neither Is he supposed to
seek business in any way. He must
sit In his Office and wait for it to seek
him. Doubtless the great majority Of
lawyers do not seek business except
through family, or club or political In
~fiuence. but not SO all Of them. There
IRE many lawyers who make it a regu-
lar business to seek accident cases, and
it is safe to say that every man who II
sufficiently injured to be taken In
charge by a policeman and conveyed
to q hospital is bewildered by the ar
ray Of legal talent placed at his service
for the purpose Of recovering dam
ages" from somebody. The son OF a
man recently killed by the street car
informed the writer for the Advertiser
that he vas besieged by no less than
100 lawyers who were anxious to be-
gin an action against the railroad be-
fore the breath had left his fathers
body. They came to him personally,
they wrote him letters-stereotyped
letters-of sympathy and coincidence
and offering to relieve same by bring
ing action at once on q basis Of 50 per
cent or 33 ID per cent Of amount re-
covered. Several followed him to the
funeral and tried to claim the deceas-
ed as an old friend.
Some lawyers actually employ
shrewd solicitors who do nothing but
follow up all sorts Of accidents and
propose to the victims to pay all ad-
vances In court costs, etc. Two or
three firms have organized themselves
into ~so-called benevolent associa-
tions," and woe betide the wight who
retains their services. The majority
Of these lawyers are miserable fellows
who would not hesitate to sell out their
clients for a few dollars, though there
are many-young men of good parts
who are faithful to their trust. OF
course obtaining clients in this manner
is nothing more OF less than barratry
and champerty, but it is difficult to
prove the charge; consequently the
number of barrators and champertors
increases yearly. 1t is said that the
pioneer lawyer of this class in the city
is now a millionaire and a member Of
one of the SWEETEST law firms on VIII
liam street.

Making Dead Men Breathe.

Many methods Of restoring the ap-
parently dead have lately been advo-
Gated, but the most original plan is
that inauguratedE by DR.. De Baum. DR..
De Baum took it upon himself to state
that If a mar died simply for want Of
breath there is no good reason why he
should not live, and the medico pro-
ceeded to prove his assertion. He pass
ed q small rubber tube through the
nose Of an apparently dead infant and
down into the throat. Closing the
mouth, he forced air through the tube
from a rubber bag. initiating the lungs.
He then released the pressure from the
mouth and found, as he expected, that
the elasticity of the muscles Of the
chest caused immediate contraction Of
the lungs, forming a complete respira-
ton. This is said to have been kept
up for forty-five minutes, at the end
of which time natural respiration was
restored and the life of the child was
saved, The success of this experiment
induced DIR. De Baum to make further
tests, and he is reported to have dis
covered that animation may often be
restored by this means within fifteen
minutes.

Dyeins BY Mean. Of Electricity.

Dycing by Means of Electricity.
For a long time the work Of indigo
dyers was much hampered by the silt
ing up of sediment in the dyeing watts,
and when it was first demonstrated
that indigo could be reduced by cleo
trolysis they hailed the improved
method as a great achievement. It
was presently found. however, that the
prolonged electrolytic treatment Of in
digo, caused a change In the dye stun,
which eventually leads to its total des-
truction. Further researches establish
ed the fact that although the reduction
Of indigo can not be satisfactorily ef-
fected In the cold, the operation a be
most successfully accomplished ut the
boiling temperature. GOppelsroeder,
who was the first advocate Of the cleo
trOlytic treatment of indigo, has dis
covered q means whereby the objec-
tons to its use are entirely overcome,
and it's maximum efficiency is attained.
The cloth to be dyed is impregnated
with the indigo in a finely powdered
condition; 1t is then immersed in a So
luton Of caustic soda or lime and
passed In contact between two copper
plates causes the reduction of the in
digo in the cloth, and on subsequent
exposure to the air )the cloth becomes
dyed a fine blue.

Detectang Electric sOscall&tion.
Much interest has been aroused in
electrical circles by the appearance OF
the 'coherer," a beautiful instrument
for detecting the presence OF electric
oscillation, devised by DIR. oliver
Lodge. and Prof. Elihu Thomson re-
aates an incident which suggests the
use OF this ingenious device In the study
of the waves which are prOpagated
during thunderstor1ns, of which waves
we have practically little or nc infor-
NATION. Prof. Thomson, while in
Philadelphia, Was told, as a curious
akhencmenon, that the silver plating
~operatiofs Of a certain e~lectroplater
were always discontinued during a
thunderstorm, and If by chance his
plating was Left yer night and an elee-
trio storm came up the work was III
variably ruined. The professor was
very skeptical, and expressed himself
accordingly. The statement, however,
was repeated, and so circumstantia1ly
that he at last paid a visit to the
silyer-plater's shop. which was a small
| one, and had a talk with it's owner
He was evidently q man whose knOwl-
edge Of electricity was Of the crudest
| order but he maintained earnestly that
what had been reported was actually
| true, and that IL a thunderstorm came
on while he was e~lectroplating his bat
teries acted as though they were short
! circuited and the deposit Of metal
was made at too rapid a rate. Prof.
Thomson then asked to see his con-
nections, and the anomaly was ex-
planned. The connections of the bat
teries to the electroplating baths were
made through a number Of bad con-
tracts, while even under ordinary con-
ditions. could not fail to be Of high re-
sistance. The result Of this abnormal
ly high resistance was that the man
had to use q battery power greatly In
excess Of what was really required
for his work. When a fash of light
ming came all his badly contracting sur
faces would cohere, and the enYrent,
no longer impeded, would rush through
in ar excessive flow, and give too rap

is q curious illustration Of the prinei-
pie on which the .coherer' is based.

tity in the grinding OF the glass stop

introduced In the form Of small wheels,

and it's success in this field is shown
by the fact that in the first year of

wheels were sold. These wheels and
points for dentists use are found to

Not Ambitious Women.

-. -H.e ENwHE-[2
The italian woman has not yet taken
her true working place in society. She
is generally handsome; rarely bad in
the strictest sense of the word, though
by no means q very strict m0ralist.
At home she rules; outside she exerts
no influence whatever. The political
woman is as yet unknown. A few lit
erary women exist, but among them
are only one or two who rise above the
average. The Italian woman is nearly
always a good mother; even when q
bad wife she follows impulse rather
than reason in her actions, and this
to a greater degree than her sisters in
any other European country.
During the national uprising she was
hopeful, but she remained humble and
never became ambitious. Nine. Rat
azzi, who tried to NEEDLE in politics,
had to desist. Outside the domestic
circle the Italian woman does not
work. except in the lower classes, and
then she uses rather her physical than
her intellectual strength. The bust
ness woman, like in France, is not met
with except in Piedmont and Milan.
The state has not been able to find
women other official employment than
that of schoolmistress.
