Fewer Locomotives Built.

One fourisning American industry
which the pressure of hard times has
deeply injured is locomotive building.
There are five cities in the United
States in which locomotive building is
carrie on SO extensively as to be an
important local industry. These are
Philadelphia, Paterson. Schenectady,
Pittsburg and Troy. In each of these
cities there is at least one large loco
motive works, the total number in he
United State being thirteen. In 1893,
which was good year in the business
on account Of the extra traffic caused
by the Worlds Fair, 2,011 locomo-
tives were built in the United States
In 1894 the total number fell to 695,
of which eighty three were built for
use in other countries. Three big
concerns filed no orders Whatever in
1894. In 1890 the total number
built was 1900; in 1891, 2, 165; in
1892, 2,0l2.
The railroad companies of the
United States have now a greatly dim
inished volume of business, and some
of the large systems are sailing so
close to the financial wind that they
are buying no new equipment. With
practical cessation of railroad build
ing has come the decrease in the
orders for locomotives, though the
foreign trade keeps up fairly we'll, the
United States exporting locomotives
to several of the South and Central
American countries. New York Sun.

International Signal Code.

On July 2, 1856, a committee was
appointed by the British Board of
Trade "to inquire into and report up
on the subject of a code of signals to
be used at sea-" In September of the
following year this committee pre-
sented a code made up of eighteen
flags and penants representing the
eighteen consonant letters of the al
phabet, out of which 1852 combina-
tions could be made for words and
sentences. A signal-book of combina-
tions, with the words, sentences,
names OF places, and ships with these
combinations represented, was pre-
pared, adopted and afterward trans
lated by many foreign nations. This
code has now become established all
over the world, and is known as the
International Signal Code. Now when
n ship meets another ship at sea, her
captain looks in his signal book for
the combination of flags which repre-
sents this ships name, and hoists
them. The captain OF the other ship
looks at that combination in his book
and reads opposite to it the same
name. Then he tells his ships name
in the same way. Then ho may ask
questions to tell anything by looking
in the signal book for the sentences
or parts of sentences he wants, and
hosting the combination of flags
which makes them. In his own lam
guage, the other captain will find the
same sentences opposite the same COM
binatons of flag letters in his own
signal st. Nicholas.

delicately scented with violet sachet.
Another new floral parssol, although
more severe in style, is even moro
chic. 1t is trimmed with orchids, one
huge cluster hanging from the bow at
the top and smaller one ct the
handle. The sunshade itself is OF
heavy cream-tinted silk, with mother
of-pearl handle. All the parasols this
year are noticeable for their elegance
and showiness. Every detail is most
costly, and. IN many instances, most
perishable, as the fluffy and Aowery
effects so greatly in vogue are not
meant for wear and tear. The good
old-fashioned plain parasol, lasting q
whole season through, is completely
oblitersted by this crowd Of fragile
and efflorescent novelties.

PLAIN SKIRTS CONTINUE IN FAVOR.

The plain skirt continues in favor,
both for street and evening gowns. In
deed there is little likelihood that very
elaborate skirts will be worn until the
excessive trimming of bodices and the
enormous sleeves now in style cease to
be fashionable, for it is general rule
that when the bodice is simple the
skirt is elaborate, and vice versa. The
bell shaped skirt, just touching the
ground all around, IS still the prevail
ing style for all costumes, trains be-
ing worn only on occasions Of excep-
tional ceremony.
