cc.amn engraving, and designed by
May Manton. The edges are finished
plainly with machine stitching. The
fronts and back have fullness collected
in gathers at the upper edge. The
back and front yokes are made double,
the under yoke being straight on its
lower edge. The gathers are Joined to
the straight lower edge of under yoke
or lining. and the pointed yoke is
stitched down on its lower edges, thus
insuring neat and strong finish. The
right front is finished with box plat
stitched on, through which button
holes are worked for the studs or but
tons used in closing. A narrow cas-
ing is applied at the waist line in
back, through which tapes are drawn
and tied over the fronts to adjust the
fullness under the belt that encircles
the waist. The rundown collar is
mounted on high standing band,
which can be joined to the shirt waist
or made separately, as preferred, the
neck being finished with fitted band
to which it can be buttoned. Large
gigot sleeves are gathered top and
bottom, straight cuffs completing the
wrists that are closed with link studs.
Cuff openings are made at the back of
sleeves, which are finished with under
and over laps, pointed at the ends.
The handsome new designs shown in
summer wash fabrics intended for shirt

larity through the coming season.

LATEST DEVICE FOR LIFE SAVING.

of life-have prompted the invention
of many more or less ingenious life
saving devices. One of the simplest,
and yet most valuable, is that lately
introduced by William Brandt, a sail
maker, OF Lubbock, Germany.
Substantially it is reproduction on
a very large scale, of the life saving
belts or rings commonly found aboard
ships. But, besides its greater carry
ing capacity, it presents some novel
and sensible features, which enhance
its value.
Numerous partitions divide the belt
into watertight, compartments, SO that
damage to any part does not material
ly affect the efficiency of the whole.
The great elasticity OF the belt reduces
the danger of damage to q minimum.
Despite its great size it is very
light. One man can easily roll it along
the deck and fling it overheard. 1t
does not matter how it strikes the
water-it invariably turns right side
up. The middle space is taken up by
a strong network.
An important addition is that of
ropes msde fast to the periphery of
the belt, and kept afoat by corks, Sc
that persons several yards away from
the buoy can draw themselves to it.
Seven large men standing on it don't
sppreciably sink the device, and when
it is considered how small the weight
of a person partially supported by the
water is it will be seen that one belt
can save large number of people.

aqueous humor in the eye.
The downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
Many eyes supposed to be black are

Eyes in rapid and constant motion
betoken anxiety, fear or care.
People of melancholic temperament

Edible Snails.

As the German yearns for his san
sage ard the Englishman for his beef
steak, 30 the Frenchman, in whatever
cline he may be, looks forward to the
season for snalls. For some senti-
mental reason the land snail never has
been so widely popular with English
speaking people as tho sea snail, and
this is the more noticeable in Eng
land, where the sea snals known as
whelks or wrinkles are eaten largely by
the lower Glasses. 1t now appears,
however, in this country as if the land
snail were coming into favor, as the
importations are said to be increasing
every year. and snails, served in
various ways, are growing popular for
late suppels.
As so IN as the first January thaw is
reported in Paris, the. Frenchmeu OF
New York and other large cities IN
this country begin to look out tor the
first consignment of snails. When the
steamer containing the first shipment
sails, special private dinners are ar
ranged, principally in the neighhor'
hood of University place, to take place
as soon as the spails are received.
Last year curious thing happened.
These snails are not common garden
snails, but carefully selected fellows,
we'll fed and cared for, which in the
fall are packed in barrels, layer
being placed at the bottom so that
they quickly seize on the wood, then
another layer, who seize on the shell
beneath them, and 30 on until the
barrel is filed. Then they are placed
in cold storage of a modified type,
and kept alternating until January.
When shipped they are marked as
snails, and greut care is taken to have
them slowed in cool part of the hold,
30 that they arrive in o normal state.
Last year o consignment for o con-
spicuous downtown restaurant was
reported of Sandy Hook. The regu-
lar guests were notified that at Ger.
tain hour the snails would be ready,
and all preparations were made. When
the caeks arrived it was found that
they had been slowed too near the
boiler room, and that oil the snails
were awake and out of their shells, and
could not be coaxed back into them.
Those put near ice did not 60 back
into their shells, but just died. So
no Escargots a Ia Bourguignonne
could be had, and the snails had to be
eaten in other ways.-New York Sun.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

To the average eye not more than
five thousand stars are visible.
Some persons having extraordinarily
st,ong eyes can see about eight thou
sand stars.
There are believed to be stars in
existence beyond the reach OF any
telescope yet constructed.
Through the Lick telescope and
other powerful instruments about
fifty million stars are visible.
Observations and calculations have
led A. Malack to conclude that in
sects do not see we'll, especially at o

The balloon sent up in Berlin with

Electric cranes, operated from the
circuits supplying power and light,
are used at the Sandycraft foundry, in
England. A novel feature is the ad-
dition Of electromagnetic to such
cranes, for readily lifting pieces of
iron and steel, one magnet, excited
by 81 amperes at ITO volts, being CO.
pable of supporting any weight up to
two tons. So greata labor.saving is
this magnetic crane, it is stated, that
three men now do in fifteen minutes
work what formerly kept six mon busy
for on hour and half.
The oft.mooted idea Of using the
earth's internal heat for power and
domestic purposes is assuming practi.
cal shape in Hungary. 1t Itappears that
for many years the artesian wells there
existing have supplied hot water,
which has been used for public baths
and buildings, and for warming green
houses and winter gardens. The plan
is now being seriously considered, it
is stated, Of sinking such wells to
$4,000 or $4,000 feet. 1t is thought
that the water from such a depth
would have q temperature of about
200 degrees c., and should, therefore,
yield steam for power as we'll as the
heat required in buildings.

and the uppers there is a piping of

A Unique Experience.

A unique experience, even in the an
nails Of the sea, was that OF the bark
Alice which reached Portland, Me-, a
few DAYS ago after stormy voyage OF
nineteen days from Turks Island, in
the Caribbean. The bark carried
cargo of salt, and she had been out
but DAY when it vas found that the
salt had struck through into the water
butts, aud every drop of fresh water
aboard was ruined. The captain
b''is.ed signals of distress, and made
provisions for condensing as much
water as possible. Enough water was
condensed to provide half a cupful for
every man aboard. 1t was five days
before vessel was sighted. The suf
fering had been great and the situation
was growing desperate. The vessel
gave the Alice as much water rs could
be spared, and the voyage was COM
pleted with better, but still short
supply Of water. The Alice had only
fourteen hours of good weather during
the trim.
