AN AUTUMN PICTURE.

The beautiful love days are over,
The weeping of summer rain,
And Natures altar is harvest-heaped
With golden fruit and grain.
The leaves in the forest are colored
With the blush of the wooing breeze,
And the suns last glow is softer red
AS it sinks between the trees.
Then twilight pink and amber,
And a passing promise of snow,
Is whispered through the velvet woods
When the autumn moon is low.

New Sources of Electric Power.

The enormous power that can be
drawn upon for transmission purposes
from the Niagara Falls will be under
stood when it is known that the weight
of water which passes over these falls
is equivalent to the production of
100000 horse power per hour, so that
by electrical transmission a great part
of this power required for the indus
tries of North America could be sup
piled from the falls One of the most
interesting examples of electrical trans
mission of power is that of Tivoli, near
Rome; here the antique and modern
engineers join hands The water deliv-
cred from the old Roman aqueducts at
Tivoli drives very powerful turbines
and an electric generating plant and
the energy generated is transmitted by
four copper cables to the City of Rome,
some nineteen miles away, where it is
distributed for lighting and power pur-
poses-the water brought by those tri-
umphs of Roman engineering thus
serving as means of lighting the SUI

MYSTERY OF a LOST SHIP. :

Tt Is Believed that She Has Beers
Found, but Her Crew Is Missing. i
Local shipping men are deeply inter-
ested in a search that is now being
made for information regarding
the Philadelphia bark, Mary p Kitch-
en-, which sailed from Penarth roads,
England, jan l. 1889, for Montevideo,
and has long been given up as lost,
says the Philadelphia Record. The in
vestigation is being made by the French
government through the Department
OF State and at the instance of Bern
hard Aarons, a wealthy merchant of
Paris, whose son shipped on the bark
for the purpose of studying navigation
and Seamanship- So confident We're
all interested parties that the vessel
had been lost that insurance on the
bark and the lives of some of her crew
was paid several years ago.
No question as to the loss of the
Kitchen was ever raised until yester-
day, when a letter was received from
Lloyds at London stating that bark
which was believed to be the Kitchen,
had arrived at Montevideo May 2,
1889, and was still a1oat under the
name of Kisson. Nothing had been
learned, however, of the whereabouts
of the officers or crew that sailed orfgi-
nally on the Kitchen. There has, how
ever, been received a suggestion that
Capt. James Ryan, who commanded
the bark, together with young AaronS,
had been murdered by the crew, who
afterwards sold the boat in the Argen-
tine Republic after changing her name.
e. ~
commanded the old cape ship Tona-
wanda, has not been heard from since
the Kitchen was reported missing
The Kitchen was purchased for him
by John Diehl, cooper, doing business
at 119 Water street. this city, and had
visited this port several times. Will
lam Diehl believes that the vessel was
lost in 1889 in the North Atlantic
Ocean. Capt. Ryan changed the bark's
name to the Lottie Diehl but on her
visit to Penarth the British Board of
Trade ordered her name changed back
to the Kitchen, and it so remained when
she left Penarth. Her cargo consisted
of coal. Capt. Ryans life was insured
in the Equitable Insurance Company.
and the claim was paid soon after the
vessel was given up for lost.
Mr.. Aaron's letter was sent to the
French Consul at this port, and in it
he inquired what had become of his
son, whose term of five years sea SER
vice had expired and who was daily
expected at his fathers home in Paris.
This letter, with other information, was
transmitted to Secretary Sherwood OF
the marine exchange for an investiga-
ton, which is now being carefully
made.

need of, and demand for, barbless
fence.
The proprictors of this company
having spent more than II years in the
manufacture of wire fencing, recoS-
nized this fact. and have produced the
best lines of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now in use. The success or
this company is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle OF
making good what they make. putting
enough material in their lines to make
them both strong and serviceable. in
stead Of producing a cheap f1imsy ar
t!cle only to meet the price Of fence
that has never given satisfaction. This
is what has made their fence so popular
and in such great demand and to-day
they have over 10 special machines.
with a capacity Of over % miles OF
fence per day, and their fencing is used

most used is their Cable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing, Cable Poultry
Fence, Steel Web Picket Fence. and

chic little front or gilet was in accor-

there were two half vests resting OF

black chiffon bodices, trimmed with
narrow trimmings of white lace. One
very stylish example had a bodice of
black chiffon covered with rows of
horizontally set white lace and the eff
feet was at once unique and charming.
A tiny and faint figure Of color in
white goods generally adds daintiness
to it, fact that seems to have i'm
pressed itself on manufacturers this
season, for such fabrics are very abun-
dant. They make up very prettily and
are especially attractive when made to
display some new feature of cut or ac-
cessory. A dress is shown herewith
made from white batiSte figured with
pale blue. It's skirt may be lined with
white satin, or lining and batiSte can
form two skirts, the former being a
little shorter than the latter. The bod
ice has fitted lining and hooks in back,
the batiste being draped in rich folds
in front and forming a bow near the
shoulders at the corners Of the cut-out.
The 1880 sleeves are tucked at the top
and the garniture consists of pale blue
satin ribbon. Though simply made Of
inexpensive stuffs, this dress is very at
tractive, being at once cool and stylish,
the low neck and tightly fitted shoul,

It was publicly talked all over Glare
