eager is the devotee OF fashion to have

of good appearance.
1t is rumored that late autumn will
show decided change in the size OF
sleeves, but the latest importations do
not confirm it. There is tendency,
however, to lessen the broad effect at
the shoulder which is accomplished by
having the f,lllness placed nearer the
elbow and laid in fine plaits.

Spotting the Carriers.

The spotter system has now been ap-
piled to 151 out of Cos free-delivery Of
fees, and Mr.. Jones thinks 1t has proved
successful in bringing the carriers up to
a higher grade of efficiency, and in pro-
noting the economical management Of
the service. In one city, for example,
where the postmaster had begged for
twelve additional carriers, the applica-
tion of the spOtter antidote demonstrated
that those already on duty had been
shirking and to such degree that when
they were reorganized and put on bus
iness basis the superintendent was able
to reduce their number fifteen and still
give better service than that city had
enjoyed before. The only large cities
in which the spotter system has been
applied are Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land and Boston. and Mr.. Jones thinks
that It has proved very efficient In all Of
them.

The Use of Naptha-

The greatest care should be observed
IN the use Of naptha. which. while a
most valuable agent to clean delicate
laces, light silks and ribbons. is very
dangerous liquid. 1t is SO extremely
volatile that ignition VIII take place
even when 1t is removed by the dis
tance across a room from a light, and
it never should be used except in the
day time. Articles cleansed by this
means should be promptly and thor
oughly aired. 1t is a good plan, the
Commercial bulletin suggests. when the
weather permits, to do the cleaning out
of doors, leaving even the thing cleansed
outside for onger airing. The need
of this was recently emphasized to an
uptown woman. who washed num-
ber of gloves, some laces and ribbons.
and fearing to leave them around the
room, as she was calleo away before
they were aired. bundled them into a
box. which she shut up in trunk in Il
closet. Later, she sent maid to get
them out, who took lighted candle to
the closet for the search. When the
trunk was opened slight explosion
followed almost Immediately. Enough
of the gas from the naptha had been
generated and held in the confined
space to ignite as the candle flame ap-
preached. No serious results followed.

A Difficult Undertaking.

! The engineer corps of the army Is
about to undertake one of the most dar-
Ing and difficult projects that has ever
been attempted. Congress has author
lied the construction of great light
house in the open ocean on the Diamond
shoals, which are off Cape Hattelus,
and have been the cemetery of many
brave seamen and costly ships. 1t Is the
most dangerous place for navigators on
the whole Atlantic coast. The tides and
currents are always treacherous and
somehow or another, as is the case at
most of the places in the world where
navigation is difficult. storms are a great
deal more frequent than along the
coasts that offer plain sailing. At or
dinary high tide there is thirty feet of
water on the Diamond shoals, put the
currents and the winds often leave but
three or four feet. To lay the founda-
ton of this great light house million
dollars will have to be literally sunk
in the sa. The foundations will be
skeleton of steel placed upon screw piles
driven fifty feet into the earth below
the water by hydraulic pressure. The
steel skeleton will be filled with stone
and cement. and anchored as firmly as
possible. Upon this the lighthouse
proper will be placed forty seven feet
above the water. and will rise to the
height of 100 feet where there will be
a great lens which will throw its rays
for twenty-five or thirty miles. To
build this structure some new and novel
IDEAS in mechanics will have to be ap-
piled. 1t is said To be as difficult work
as that General Casey accomplished
when he removed the old foundations
from under the Washington Monument
