The Bang Called In.

One of the most noticeable changes in
fashion this season Is that which affects
the dressing of the hair. The .''fringe'
has been gradually giving place to softly
waved bandeaux. and the bandeaux are
creeping gradually lower down until the
return seems imminent TO the puffed and
waved bsndeaux to be seen in the por.
traits of Jennie Lind taken along In the
fifties. To young and delicate faces the
style has an agreeable piquancy and
quaintness, but to women past their first
youth or with strong, coarse features ths
bang has softening effect much to be
desired.
Another style now gaining favor and
one becoming to round faces with low
foreheads is that Of turning the hair
back from the forehead loosely in a twist
that Is lost in the light coils and puffs ar.
ranged in the middle of the forehead.
In this style Of coiffure the front hair Il
parted off on either side and twisted in
the old fashioned way into tvo rolls

pa Swan. slna Rsfer. rh.r p,.f


The story that tells of swsns singing
before death is very old. and of course ie
founded npou fancy. The idea has been
brought down from ancient myths. The
voice of the swan is extremely harsh
and disagreeable, without a single mu-
sical note in it. and no good reason eau
be found for likening some Of the world s
sweetest poets to this unmelodious voiced
fowl.
The only approach to a veriication
we have ever seen is the following,
clipped some years ago from virginiS
newspaper;
"a sporting friend. rocently returned
from foray upon the Potomac river,
below Mount Vernon, was the guest of 8
venerable and highly intelligent lady,
who has always lived ON the Potomac.
Speaking Of the swan, she gave 1t as her
decided opinion that this bird was in the
habit of singing or making plsintive
noise when dying. The reason she gave
for entertaining this belief was that on
very many occasions in the last 30 years
she had been awakened at night by a
sweet and exceedingly sad noise, some
thing like the tones Of afageolet coming
over the water, and that on every sub
sequent morning dead swan was found
to be floating on the water or to have
been washed ashore. ."-Pittsburg Dis

In the old days great fortunes were
made out of shipping and shipbuilding
IN Bath, and the fortunes of the town arc
still bound up in the same industries, of
which there has been revival during
late years. The names of Houghton,
Sewal, Patten, Goss, Sawyer, Rogers,
Hawley and Donnell, shipbuilders fa-
nous in the annals of Bath, are insepa-
rable from the history of marine con-
struction in the United States.
Bath was made city in 1850 In 1856
her population was 8,076; in 1870, 1871;
in 1880, 1874 and in 1890, 8,723. These
fluctuations corresponded exactly with
the condition of American shipbuilding
and are in themselves significant. Time
was when the majority of the craft
launched from, the yards of Bath were
square rugged, but for some years fore
and aft schooners of three and four
masts have largely predominated.
Among the largest vessels burned out
there are the Susquehanna of 2,729 tons
burden and the Roanoke of 3,362. The
Roanoke is, in fact, the largest wooden
ship afioat, and there is but one larger
sailing craft on the ocean-the five
mas,t.,i,ai steel built France. The Roanoke
is also the larges. American ship evec
built but one, the Great fepubilc, which
was launched in 1858.
Notwithstanding the superior size Of
the Roanoke, she has not SO good record
for fast sailing as the Susquehanna,
which beat her in a recent trip from
New York to San Francisco around the
Horn" the Susquehanna's time being
122 days, while the Roanoke's was 1875.
Though both are wooden vessels, they
are fine specimens of the shipbuilder's
art, all the latest ideas being embodied
In their construction.
1t was but few days after these ships
anchored in San Francisco bay that the
Camparia, the Cunard lines handsome

Some idea of her size may be gained
from the fact that she is as long as three

AN AUTOMATIC LIGHTHOUSE.
There IL No Keeper. but the Bright Ligh
Blazes Perpetuaiiy.

rhsre Is No Keeper. but the Bright Light
Biazes Perpetuaiiy.
A remarkable lighthouse is the one
which sheds its warning rays from an es-
tuary of the Gironde, in France, where it
stands upon an isolated rock in the midst
of a treacherous reef. The popularity OF
this lighthouse is that it Is unoccupied,
and yet its lamp is burning perpetually.
The famous Eddystone light on the coast
Of England, rising rom a rock that Is
only large enough to afford a foundation
for the structure, is remarkable because
the men having it in charge are able to
leave their confined quarters only once
in three months. when "A vessel comes to
them with supplies, letters, papers and q
new detachment of watchers.
II was to do away with this exacting
and lonesome life that the French engl-
neers set themselves about the task of
devising a method 10y which the useful
ness of the lighthouse could be main
tanned without so much personal atten-
ton. 1t thus happened that a lamp was
invented that would burn continuously
for two months without being trimmed
or replenished.
The burning fluid used in this lamp is
an ordinary mineral oil. The tube in the
interior of the lamp is furnished with a
wick having a thickness three times as
great as those employed generally in
lighthouses. Around the burning sur
face of the wick is a cake made of a pat
ented preparation consisting largely OF
~carbonized tar. This protection assures
the duration and the uniformity of the
flame. \ chimney made of mica is
placed around the fame, and this in
sures an increase in the power of the
light. The supply of oil is assured by
means of a reservoir containing 100
quarts, the lamp consuming 30 grams
each hour. To provide always for the
reservoir being furnished with sufficient
fuel a gauge i fixed at its side that gov
erns the supply flowing in from another
reservoir at "a distance, and this gauge
permits just 50 grams per hour to perco-
late through the little supply pipe into
the supply reservoir.
The diameter Of the lanterns So inches
and il cost 81 400. The intensity Of the
light keeps eguable until the expiration
of two months, when it is necessary tc
visit the lighthouse and replenish the
wick. The Light can be seen more than
l2 miles at sea. The wick Is cleansed
and drawn up gradually by the action
of the tar cake at its mouth. The French
government is arranging 10 put upother'
of these houses aud it is also perfecting
an invention by which a perV ual cleo

From time immemorial the market

anger and determination plainly written

In response to inquiries they informed
the ushers on duty that they were a
