Some Beautiful Stones Worn by Famous
French Actresses.
(From Modern Society. }

Parisians are at present gathering
round theatrical psyblllls where to their
interise amusement, they read the follow
ing notice "Mlle. Aimee will appear
at tho Scala, wearingran her diamonds I"
These announcements are not quite a
new invention tho ugh. for Mile. Mars,
the great tragedienne, never forgot to
placard the same sentence on the walls
of tie provincial towns when she was
touring. Her diamonds. s.however, were
not to be compared with those OF the
modern actresses and gopera singers, at
the head of whom is Nine. Patti, who,
as everyone knows, lately wore, in the
third act of the tTraviata," dress
covered with precious stones Of the value
OF 200, 600 pounds. These stones are now
In Paris to be reset in the shape of tu-
lip-like corseIet formed of seven leaves,
from which the mousseline de sole bodice
will emerge all in tufts and puffs. The
rubies have been spared to compose big
rose mount for long hairpin, and

After Mime. Patti and, perhaps Mile.
Aimee, whom nobody has yet seen, and
now that the belle Otero dazzles the
boyards. the most beautiful stones TO be
seen on the Partisan stage are the emer-
aids of Mile. Tholer of the Comedie
Franchise, a vaporous blonde, whose
favorite color is sky blue; the belt which
enoircles her waist is studded with them;
one end of it falls straight in front and
ends with fringe Of tiny diamonds.
This belt is particularly celebrated. The
value of Mile. Tholer's emeralds is SO
great that she has a policeman specially

GREAT RAILROAD SPEED.
Pointed Trains So as to Reduce the Air
Resistance.
(From the Llterary DIGEST. !


Have we reached the limit of express
speed on railroads. Many think we
are near it, not b ecause we cannot get
higher power than that now at orr dis
posal, but because tho resistance of the
air increases SO much faster than our
speed that presently We shall not be able
to force our locomotives against it. Hi
ram S. Maxim, however, is not of this
opinion, provided we make our trains of
the proper shape. The resistance. he
says, is due to the irregular form of our
trains; if we MAKE a locomotives with
smooth fine lines, as we make yacht. it
will glide through the air az the boat
does through the water. Some progress
has already been made in France along
these lines by fitting locomotives with
pointed prows or air shields. Mr.. Max
inns idea appears in the following para
graphs, which we quote from his article
in the electrical number" of Casters
Magazine:
81 see no reason why we might not ex-
pect to double the speed Of steam-Criven
railroad trains. Ordinary electric trains
should travel at the rate of 80 to 100 miles
an hour and express trains at, say, 1870;
but in order to do this it would be neces-
sary SO to construct the carr iages as to
enable them to pass through the air
without any great resistance. The train
should be pointed at both ends, and have
the appearance of being all in one piece;
even the wheels and axletrees would have
TO be boxed in. / find in my experiments
hot aHrr,< ,I-.1..s - ex.S-
smooth surface is SO very small that it
need not be considered rs factor at all
but the power required to drive rough
or irregular body through the air Is very
great.
Electricity could Of course, be ad-
vantageously employed on existing
roads, but it special roads were to be con-
struCted comparatively cheap line could
be employed, and as the electrical train
would be vastly lighter than the steam
tarin, extensive grading and tunneling
would not be necessary. The line might
follow, approximately, the contour of the
country.
"In the steam driven train great power
is required to enable it to mount even a
slight gradient, and all this energy is
wasted in heat and friction on the brakes
in descending the next grade. The ex-
ira amount of energy consumed by an
electrically driven train in mounting
gradient could again be utilized in
descending the next gradient, because
the descending train, moving at high
velocity, instead Of having it's speed
checked by tho use of BRAKES, could turn
a switch in such direction as to con-
vert the motors themselves into generat-
ors, which would actually send a our
rent into the line which would be avail
able for the use of other trains. The
storing Of energy developed by descend
ing train has always been a desideratu1n;
it is quite impracticable to use it with
steam driven trains, while it is simple
matter in trains driven by cable or by
electricity"
