older orthodox party being opposed to it. The Madras government had sub- mitted bill drafted by six Hindu gentlemen. The supreme government, however. replied that the measure was open to serious objection. as 1t would involve executive interference by the government officers with the religious beauests of the people and would thus be n departure from the policy delib- erateiy adopted thirty years ago. This decision win probably meet with the approval not only of the vast majority of the people of the country. but also of most men who know India, and it may be hoped that the government will take a similar course in regard to an- other question now under oonsldera- tion-namely. legislation on the subject of tho restitution of conjugai rights.

MORE GOLD,

The silver problem may yet be solved by gold. The production of gold is in- crcasing at a rapid rate. The work this year in tine west will give an output far exceeding anything of recent years. Colorado, turning her attention from sill yer to gold production, is one of the wealth' producing states of the world. Tn 1892 her gold output was s4,743,0OO, which in 1893 was increased slXty-five per cent, or about S,350,OO0. This year she will give California hard race for first position as gold producing state. Montana Is doing more than double the gold mining of 1893. Australia is increas- ing its output, and the estimate is that South Africa, which few years ago did not count as a source of supply, will this year add sS,OOOOOO to the visible gold of the world.
 What will be the effect of the increas- ed supply of gold? The Argonaut sees the situation as follows: The increased production of 1S5O-1S6O resulted in decline in the purchasing power of gold, or, expressed differently, prices general ly rose. The same result should be seen at this time were it not for certain other factors that are at work. The increased supply is in response to an increased demand, and tLat dems nd will absorb the surplus as it is produced. Again, the worlds stock of gold is far greater now than it was forty years ago, and additions that would materially affect the mass then would not be felt now. It is therefore probable that, unless continued for a number of years, the in- creased production will not affect the business of the world. The effect in Cal ifornia will, however, be different. The annual addition of fifteen or twenty mill lions to the wealth of this State is bound to affect all business beneficially.
 This strikes us as a sensible view of the matter.

sists of cream chiffon over light green silk. The short fronts are ornament ed with green silk revers, and the same Is used for sash, girdle and the small cuffs of the velvet sleeves.
 The latest skirts are not wider than four yards and are generally quite plain. In one thing, however, Fash ion is peremptory, and that is the silk lining. One may do as one likes about lace frills or silk ruffles on the inside, which are a nuisance unless there is a maid to brush the skirt every time its wearer turns around, but the lining must be of silk or satin, according to the nature of the gown. Satin liberty is much favored for elegant house and reception dresses, and so are brocaded stuffs, bengaline. and silk crepons Sleeves are growing more fantastic in shape, ancient styles being copied from old paintings and put into modern gowns.
 The girl of fifteen is allowed g. tea gown, for the younger girl there is none. The fifteen year old's tea gown is really only a little belted wrapper, with soft lace falling over the belt in front. It is made of wash silk if it is very elaborate, or of pretty f1anneAette if it is more sensible. She is allowed to don it for her own afternoon teas, for little maids now give their own teas, and there's great to-do in copying the behavior of their elders. s.

THE ELECTfO-M4GNET.

The electro-magnet is an interesting and an influential thing. Some experi- ments recently made with it at Will let's Point, Long Island, indicate that it may yet be useful in war. A huge one has been invented there and 1t has such power that it is believed it would derange ships compass at distance of six miles from the fort. Steel rails were placed near this great magnet, and when the electricity was turned on the rails flew to the gun. Colonel King then had one end of a. large chain fastened around the pieces of iron to ascertain the amount of power neces- sary to pull them away from the mag net. The other end of the chain was attached to capstan that was held firmly in place by long stakes driven into the ground. When everything was in readiness for the test the capstan bars were manned by eight stalwart engineers, and they endeavored to pull the railroad iron away from the mag netized gun. After straining for some time the stakes holding the capstan in place gave way and it toppled over. The railroad iron had not even moved on the face of the magnet. The dyna- mometer which had been attached to indicate the amount of strain the mag net would stand showed that 1t had resisted 22,5oO pounds. It was found impossible to disturb the pieces of rail- road iron until the electricity had been shut off.
 During a recent series of experiments an iron tray, heaped up with old torse- shoes, big iron spikes, nuts, bolts and other articles made of iron, was siven to a soldier. and he was directed to hold the tray in front of him and walk toward the magnet. When the soldier arrived at d point about fifteen feet from the gun the contents of the tray departed with a rush and lodged on and about the r1uzzle of the big gun. The soldier had all he could do to keep the tray from following the scrap iron.
 This test has suggested the possibil- ity of big electro-magnets being used to defend forts and earthworks from land attacks. A row ot them of suffi. cient power would draw the smaller arms out Of the hands of the infantry, while the advancing column was still
