THE INTERsTELLAR ETHER.
e'hereal Waves Which Affect the Eye and
the PHOTOGRAPHIC Plate

|
Our eye does not act by detecting heat;
IN other words, it is not affected by the
whole range of ethereal quiverings, but
Only by a very. minute and apparently
insignificant portion. 1t wholly ignores
the ether waves whose frequency is COM
parable with that of sound, and for 30 or
40 octaves above this nothing about us
responds; but high up in range of vi
Iratlon of the inconceivably high pitch
'f four to seven hundred million per
second-a range which extremely few
accessible bodies are able to emit. and
winch 1t requires some knowledge and
skill artificially to produce-to those
waves the eye is acutely, surprisingly
and most intelligently sensitive.
This little fragment of total radiation
is In itself trivial and negligible. Were it
not for men and glowworms and a few
other forms of life, hardly any of it
would ever occur on such a moderate
sized lump of matter as the earth. Ex.
cept for an occasional volcano or a flash
of lightning, only gigantic bodies like
the sun and stars have energy enough to
produce these higher futelike notes, and
they do it by sheer main force and yio-
lence-the violence OF their gravitative
energy-producing not only these, but
every other kind of radiation also. Glow
worms, so far as know, alone have
learned the secret of emitting the phys
iologically useful waves, and none other.
Why these waves are physiologically
useful, why they are what is called
eight" while other kinds of radiation
are dark" are questions to be asked
but at present only tentatively answered.
The answer must ultimately be given by
the Psychologist, for the distinction be-
tween light and nonlight can only be
stated in terms of the eye and its pecul-
lar specialized sensitiveness, but a hint
may be given him by the physicist.
The ethereal waves which affect the
eye and the Photographic plate are of a
size not wholly incompatible with that
of atoms of matter When a physical
is concerned with the ulti-
mate atoms OF matter, 1t Is relegated at
present to the wagner group of knowl-
edge summarized under the head of
chemistry. Sight is probably chemical

by the incident light vibrations, and

Easy Tests For Proving "a Diamond.

1t is an easy matter to detect the diff
ference between II genuine diamond and
an imitation. Take tube of filtered
water and drop the stone therein. If it
is paste, it can be seen as it passes through
the water, but if pure the eye is unable
to see it at all. Another test is to place
the stone upon pencil dot made on a
piece of white paper. If the dot is du-
plicated upon the facets you can rest as
sured that the stone is fraud, but if
not it is a good stone. The common be,
lief that stone can be tested by filing is
erroneous, for the best diamond ever cut
will splinter and break when rasped with
this instrument. st. LLu.g Globe Dem.

In the official ceremony the Chinese
diplomats are strict observers of the very
letter of etiquette in private life they
are simple and unaffected, with the joy
Gus disposition of a lot of schoolboys.
A young lady was walking in the Zoo
logical Park a few days ago when the
Chinese minister passed her going out.
He was followed by a lot of boys. The
young lady was worried lest the boys
were about to do something rude to the
minister. and she called one of them to
her.
"Do you know who that isl" she
asked.
"Yep; Chinaman," was the laconic
reply.
''He is the Chinese minister" said
she, impressively, land you must be very
careful not to be rude to him."
''0h, we amt going to hurt him"
answered Young America. HE is all
right. He has been playing football

a 2-guinea prize for the best definition of
a kiss. Seven thousand answers were
received. The prize was awarded to
Benjamin J. Greenwood, of Tulse Hill,
London, whose definition is herewith
given: San insipid and tasteless morsel,
which becomes delicious and delectable
in proportion as it is favored with love-"
The following is selection from some of
the best definitions submitted What
the chimney-sweeper imprinted on the
rosy lips of the scullery maid when she
told him she favored his SCOT. The
sweetest fruit on the tree of love. The
oftener plucked the more abundant it
grows. A thing of use to no one, but
much priced by two. The baby's right,
the lovers privilege. the parents benson

divided between two. A rock in the sea
of life on which the good ship Bachelor

the pug dogs right. Contraction of the

A QUEENS HOBBIES.

The Dowager Queen of Portugal,
Maria Pia, has a good many seemingly
conflicting tastes. She has n passionate
fondness for flowers, especially for deli
cate maidenhair fern and lilies-of- the
valley, and she is also devoted to manly
sports. She hunts admirably, and at
her country place On the seaboard at
Caldas she used To amuse herself by
shooting from IA high window at bottles
floating in the water She very seldom
missed her unstable marks.
Philanthropy is another of her hobbies.
She is at the head OF all beneticent in
stitutions in Portugal, and is known
aff%ectionately as the ''Angel of Charity. -
When her husband was alive whenever
she left the cathedral after morning
service the poor people knelt and kissed
the hem Of her dress. Those who had
petitions to present gave them into her
own hand, and on her return home she
caused them to be thoroughly %investi-
gated.
In addition to these titles for distinc-
ton, the Downgcr Queen of Portugal
has a fondncsS for looking extremely
well, and, in consequence, is considered
one of the best dressed women in Europe.

The skirt o. the day is no longer lined
with stiff stuff, but is waddcd up to the
waist with very thin wadding, and, of
course, covered with silk or satin, the
softer the better, for it is no longer good
form to have the gown rustic.
Artificial flowers are worn on evening
dresses, placed as If they were growing
at the side of the skirt, but nearly
always mixed with ribbons. Large
punches and large trails are used, and
only the most natural looking flowers are
worn.
A new visiting costume is of otter
colored velvet. The corsage has the
favoritc basque of the period. The vel
vet sleeve is draped over a lining of the
ordinary shape, and is |surmounted by
capes round at the back aud full in
front.
For young ladies the evening gown is
usually of light, transparent stuff over a
silk or satin skirt, but matrons are more
inclined to employ the light aud rich
brocades, as admitting of a greater ele
gance in decoration and more recherche
richness in effect.

the little maid of two wears the longest
