ported for trimming summer toilets,
wraps and robes. Cream lace Jokes
and epaulets will be used on dresses of
black satin, brocade, mOire n lace;
and lace in every width and pattern
will be lavishly employed OF both skirt
and bodice. Skirts do not change
greatly in style or shape, remaining
close about the hips and fiaring from
the knee down. Many, when made of
single width goods, are of half-circle
shape, with the single seam up the
back, while others of narrow-width
silk, and other materials, have gored
breadths and deep plaits in the back.
Overskirts have come slowly but surely
TO the fore, but as yet there is no par
ticular enthusiasm over this revived
fashion in any Of its guises Sashes OF
every width are lin once again, and
are worn at the side in directoire style
or tied In long loops and ends in the
back.
Embroidery done by intricate ma
chine processes, but having all the fine
dainty effect of handwork. will be the
rage next season. The shops are al
ready aglow with an exhibit of ex-
auisite productions in embroidered
crepon. c~lairette, China silk, fayetta
and other ene wool fabrics, besides q
host of embroidered textiles OF
diaphanous nature. These will rival
the lace and ribbon-trinmed gowns, Us
the embroidered portions will be
utilized on skirts, cOrsages, capes and
made into b~retelles, blouse fronts, col
larettes, sleeve puffs, etc
The blouse waist will flourish as
pever before. 1t comes from over the
sea in scores of charming styles, and
made of every fabric, from tinted linen
and crepon to lace and brocade.
Hats remain of good size. Bonnets
are still mere toy headcoverings, and
velvet ribbon loops are layished upon
each with stunning effect

An Italian organ grinder recently
escaped a fine by his wit. He had been
p.aying before the house Of an irasc:ble
old gentleman, who furiouslv and amid
wild gesticulatlons ordered him to
move on. The Italian stolidly stood
his ground and played on, and at last
was arrested for causing a disturbance.
At the court the magistrate asked him
why he did not leave when he was re-
ouested. Me no understan' moOch
Inglese," was the reply. well, but You
Inust have understood by his motions
that he wanted you to 60" said the

appearance. The cuat has full skirts
aud deep full collarette with sleeves
larger If possible than ever. In length,
It measures, as a rule, from twenty-six
to twenty-eight inches, with n prefer
ence for the shorter styles, especially
on youthful women. Another thing,
the three-quart.r length cannot be
worn with the new overskirts. Close
fitting models appear with large re-
veres in directOire fashion. Cape col
lars and c~ollarettes of black MORE will
be immensely popular, also large costly
buttons and plenty of them. Capes
come up for decided favor also, as just
as long as the huge sleeves remain in
fashion capes will prevail. Everything
shows that the expanded sleeve will be
retained for months tn Gomez; there
fore capes can be counted In among the
seasons favored styles. Moire, corded
silk, cloth and satin duchess are the
materials used for spring capes, and
although this is a rather limited range,
the colorings and varied patterns with
their choice of elegant trimmings MAKE
the variety.

Tidal Forces.

In all parts of the seaboard theworld over
where the tides rise high the conversion Of
tidal force into electrical power will some
day be realized on a scale which may make
manufactures to great extent independ-
ent of coal, affirms a San Francisco ex-
change, which further says: The solar heat
gives us the rainfall which forms the great
lakes and renders Niagara an embarrassed
giant of power Niagara has partially been
utilized and will be to a much greater ex-
tent Solar and lunao gravitation, quite
independent of heat, give us the tides, and
these rise in places to 20, 40 and even 20 feet
To make this tremendous force available
for turbines and conversion into electricity.
all that is necessary is to form huge reser
voirs of thousands of acres. The tide
would fil these at high water, and at low
water the reservoirs could be run off al
strong pressure and made to operate tur
bincs Power thus obtained could be
transmitted great distances. The advan-
tage of this power would lie in cheapncss
and constancy.

Aerial Sounds at Yellowstone Park.

An interesting phenomenon has been OBJ
served in the lake region of the Yellowstone
park, of which Professor S. A. Forbes, in a
description of Shoshone lake, makes the
following mention:
Here we first heard, while out on the lake
in the bright still morning, the mysterious
