modern capacity as "a piquant accessory
which conceals imperfections and displays
beauty" Her advice is characterized by
good taste and is worth remembering:
1.-The veil par excellence Is the white
one, with black dots. 1t gives look of
freshness to the complexion and adds to
the effect of the eyes. The all white veil is
only suitable for brunette with clear
skin. A plain black veil Is not becoming
to any one, but q black one, with black
dots, is becoming to everybody. Never
wear red, violet or blue veil, as it gives
sickly and unnatural tint to the most
beautiful complexion in the world"
Tho pretty alpine and crush crowned
straw hats with wido curled brims arc
coming into great popularity. They arc
relief from the ubiquitous rigidity of tho
sailor hat and thereby fill long felt
want. The sailor hat Is really only suit
able for children and young girls, but it
has been the only sort of outing headwear,
short of caps, provided for women for
years past. These new shapes are more
dignified and more generally becoming,
and it Is to be hoped that they have come
to stay They may be trimmed with the
severe band and dunlap bow or may be
softenod in effect by the addition of a
chou of ribbon, bunch of violets or q
tuft of black or white cocks feathers.

Height of the Anrnrn.

Interesting particulars concerning at
tempts to measure the height of the aurora
have been given the Royal Danish acad-
emy by Mr.. Adam Paulsen. At Godthabb,
with two theodolites four miles apart, the
height Of different aurora was found to
range from one-third of mile to nearly
forty miles in height Near Cape Farewell,
with base line of about three-fourths of a
mile, the results showed them to range in
height from one to ten miles; and at Spitz.
bergen, with base line Of about one.third
of mile they were shown to be from 300
yards to eighteen miles high, according to
brilliancy. In earlier observations, Flogel
estimated the height Of several aurora at
from ninety to $40 miles. Reimann found
height Of at least 500 miles for one aurora

observed by him, while Nordenskjold
placed the mean height of all aurora at 100
miles.
Lemstrom claims to have observed the
aurora when it was not above 1000 feet
high, and Hilderbrandson has seen them
below the clouds. From the great variety
of facts and figures produced by different
observers, and the wide difference Of opin-
ion which exists among scientific men as
to their exact height, Mr.. Paulsen infers
that the aurora only appears at consider
able height in the temperate zone, while in
the auroral zone proper the phenomenon is
generally produced in the lower atmos.

do this all that is wanted is bottle, ripe

bottle. When the air in the bottle is well
heated set the banana on end on top and
let it do the rest itself; as the air on the In
side cools off and contracts the outsid,
pressure pushes the banana down int
