The latest fashionable fad is the con-
versation luncheon, which is not to be
despised as an up-to-date mode of en-
tertaining. Small tables are used, and
at each guests plate besides the name
card is placed the menu, with topic
Of conversation written beside each
course. All conversation except that
pertaining to the special subject is for
hidden, and in many cases this restric-
tion itself makes the luncheon very
jolly affair. At recent conversation
luncheon held at Newport the subjects
chosen for conversation were as fol
lows: With the iced bouillon the guests
discussed the question: is the mascu-
line idea of humor sort of horse
play?" The conversation with the fish
treated entirely of 1.-THE new woman
and the way in which she will clothe
herself" The entree was eaten while
bicycle tales were being told. With the
salad was discussed the college-bred
girl. Frozen fruits were eaten while
the conversation turned toward the
weather, and the coffee was slipped
during the intervals of heated dis
cussion for and against woman suf-
frage.

NATURES FREAKS.
The Devils Pump In California and Me-
Sweeney's Gun In Ireland.

Ehe Devff6 Pump In California ana Me-
sweeney's Gun in Ireland.
One of the greatest combinations of
natural and artificial curiosities on the
coast of California is called the DEVILS
Pump. The pholas, or shell miners,
species of mollusk which eXcavate inn
mense caverns in the very hardest
stone, have tunneled the entire coast
in the vicinity of the pump. Water
rushes into these caverns with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this partic-
ular case finds vent through a cylindrl-
cal opening some distance from the
waters edge. 1t is estimated that this
hole, which connects with the sea cav
ern, is seventy-five to one hundred feet
in depth. Every time the tide rushes
INTO the cavern beneath, the pump
throws water to the height OF a full one
hundred feet above the mouth of the
opening. The Indians formerly called
it by name which signifed fairy
water gun" but the irrevereut white
men have given it the title of the "Dey-
us Pump and by that name 1t win be
probably known to future generations.
There is similar curiosity near Horn
Head, county Donegal, Ireland, where
hole in the rocks is called "McSween-
ey's Gun" Like the California Oddly,
1t Is on the seacoast, and has connec-
tions with submarine cavern. When
the north wind blows and the sea is at
''half flood F." the wind and waves enter
the cavern and send up immense col
umns NJ winter thrO,lfrh tha s.srt,n .
Travellers who have visited Horn Head
and vicinity say that each charge OF
| water sent from the gun is accompa.
MED by an explosion that can be heard

MARBLE GAINS FAVOR.
scniptursd Busts Take the Place OF Paint
ings.


ings.
Busts are taking the place of oil
portraits in the family art galleries pre-
pared for posterity. In them are shown
better the figure, features, pose, ex-
preston. size and style than in the can
vas. They lack color only, but in look
ing at a bust the absence of color is not
noticed If the bust be artistically
planned; and for posterity the sculp-
tored marble is in greater favor than
the framed picture. 1t will bear more
ill-usage, and, like the Venus de Milo,
will live for hundreds of years, going
through fire and water and lying buried
in the earth without serious impair
ment.
Men and women artists both are do
ing the marble sculpture work. Their
favorite patrons consent to sit for them
at first for casts because urged to do SO.
When they see the plaster cast. chaste,
refined and clear in all its outlines, a
presentment of themselves, they readi-
ly give commission for marble bust.
The artists who do sculpturing are
many. Several have achieved national
regulations. Kuehne Beveridge did
Cleveland and Corbett. Mrs. Hunelser
has done Mrs. James Brown Potter, the
actress, and many Washington women.
One New York artist has made marble
busts of all the leading Wall street men.
casting them at leisure from mud i'm
pressions made while they were work
ing at their desks. His tools are
batch of clay, broad, fiat knife, a
handful of sharp modelers and bundle
of wet rags for keeping the clay moist.
He works while the Wall street man
Is debating his letters, getting side
view then. Later he molds rapidly
when conversing with the man face to
face. The back of the head is done at
luncheon time, when the head is NOV
ing. to get all the life-lines. and for the
last touches the busy magnate of the
streets consents to walk around the
room for few minutes. stopping to
view himself and criticise the work of
the modeler's hands.
Modelling a bust is easy work for the
| first Is minutes. In that time the head
takes shape with quick pats of the
hands. A sweep of the clay hollows
out the eyes. lump of clay nodded
long, like lady finger, stands for his
nose, and a sharp stroke leaves the chin
free. The throat is done by strang-
ling process of the fingers and the
shoulders spatted like pat-a-cake into
broad, round shape. That is what it
all looks like 10 the spectator. And the
bust bears a quick resemblance in out
lines to the person. Here, when the
first resemblance is gained, the work of
the pat-a-cake man stops and the
touches of the real artist begin.
In a certain library there is bust of
Peter Cooper that was nodded for the
Goth time before it suited the artist.
After it suited him it was nodded again
to suit the family. An extra stroke
upon the cheeks fattened them too
much, and the lack of stroke had lett
too much hair on top of the head. The

Corset First Worn by Men.

The much-maligned corset was in
vented and first worn by men. The
earliest mention in history of this arti-
Gle is by Aristophanes. who lived in the
fifth century B. c. In one of his
comedies he ridicules brother poet
who, Unfortunately vain of his personal
beauty, was dissatisfied with the shape
of his figure, which was far removed
from ideal symmetry, being much too
thin for his height. He therefore hit
upon the plan of improving his ply
sique by encasing his body in an under
cuirass made of little pieces of wood.
The idea was>imitated later on by an
other man, the Emperor Antoninus
Plus, who found great difficulty in per-
