Electric lights are out of date at
Paris social functions; and gas, candles
and lamps have likewise been super
seeded. Phosphorescent furniture is the
latest fad, and formed an interesting
feature Of a unique "5 o'clock tea,"
which took place the other day in tile

rays. Nor were these fascinating
CLEANS limited to the room and it's fur
nishings; but the gowns Of the women
were also brilliantly phosphorescent,
while their compilations cleaned like
pearls flooded with m%oorshine.
AS this idea threatens to become n
fad of no small proportions. it should
be known by ONE who long to emit
this spooklike radiance, that there is q
luminous face powder which is said to
fulfill it's mission admirably. There is
also in the market a luminous starch,
With which the clever laundress can
give lace, lnuslins and all the dainty

RIDING DOWN
THE CONNECTS.

When the news arrived that -four
hundred convicts had broken out from
the stockade at the Clarkson, mine and
were marching toward the academy to
seize it's n hundred and fifty Spring
held rifles, rot one Of the faculty was
on the grounds and the responsibility
of the necessary immediate action fell
upon the senior cadet captain. All but
three Of the stockade guards had been
killed or wounded and one of these
had ridden on to the academy parade
ground just as the sergeant Of the
guard was dismissing the punishment

In q moment the drummers were
beating the long roll and the bugles
sounded ito arms" a call which the
battalion had never heard before and
did not understand, save that it's fran
tic blares could be nothing else than
notes of dire alarm, and from every
part of the school domain cadets came
running at the top Of their speed and
in five minutes all Of the hundred
were in line and the exciting roar Of
the drums was still. They must take
the school ARM and march across
country to the country town, seven
teen miles away. There was no town
large enough for safety any nearer
than that. They could not go by rail,
for the nearest station was three miles
away in the direction from which the
convicts were coming. The wires had
been cut by the convicts, so there was
no hope Of troops arriving by special
train. With the academy arms added
to the forty rifles they had taken from
the guards, the convicts would be able
to repulse any force that could be
raised and sent against them IN the
time it would take them to reach the
mountains. Once In the mountains
they would separate and make good
their escape.
Within fifteen minutes from the ar
rival of the messenger the cannon had
been spiked and the battalion bear

school delivery wagon loaded with

ten others, upon the horses that con-
stituted the mounts Of the cavalry
squad of the school, were to serve as
a rear guard. They were to ride a
mile or so beyond the column, ready to
give warning Of the approach of the
convicts. The cadets started out quite

Tough story About n Diamond.


1t is alleged that Il few days ago q
New Yorker purchased a large uncut
diamond from a friend who had just
returned from South Africa, because
of Il peculiar mark resembling Il glob-
ule which it contained. He had it cut
and mounted as Il scarf pin and was
very happy. Wednesday he heard an
explosion and felt a stinsing pain un-
der his chin. He raised his hand and
found his neck covered with blood.
Then removing his collar ana tie lie
found that lis diamond had disap-
poared and only the setting remained.
\ surgeon cut the pieces of the gem
out of his chin. Experts say that the
globule PROBABLY contained carbonic
acid gas and that such explosions are
quite comnlo in South Africa.-New
