The cunbersomeness of the baby
coach has brought the jaunty little
English go-cart into prominence and
favor with mothers and nurses. 1t is
not available for the infant, but for
the small child able to walk about
the house, and, yet, soon fatigued on
the street. it serves an excellent pur-
pose. With handle on the back, its
occupant is kept constantly in view,
and, when snugly tucked in with fur
robes, it may even be used on bright
days in winter as vehicle of con-
Venience.
The liberty velvets in plain colors and
in printed patterns are used for cloaks,
or camers hair lined with satin or fur
They are built for little girls in a
scant long redingote shape, double
breasted and edged down the front and
hem with broad bands OF fur or grebe,
the sleeves being large coat sleeves,
with no puffS, and with broad collars
and big muffs of cloth and fur in the
Kate Greenaway fashion. For older
girls a cloak for daytime dancing
school is built, perhaps, in the redin-
cote fashion, but with a fitted back
instead of straight one, and with a
reach the ground and are more
voluminous as 10 skirt and collar than
the children's. The wide, straight, old
fashioned coat sleeve holds almost any
party sleeve that is now built, and it
is especially swagger They are blilt
of cloth and are faced with moire silk
in the color of the cloth, with broad
cuffs to match.
For evening dancing classes the
cloak is three-quarter
length casaque. fastened with frogs,
with wide angel sleeves, and with
hood slung from the shoulders of lace
and null. Sometimes the back is
and scant; sometimes fitted
loosely. Again, it has a double box
plat, over which is tied a soft silk
sash, knotting with short ends in
front. Such wraps are built of silk
or liberty velvet or wool, trimmed with
fur or feathers.
The three-quarter length circular
cape, too, is new, and is of silk, edged
with deep double fiounce of null,
headed with a quilting, or is of wool
with fiounce of fur.
Graceful open work holders or re-
pousse silver stands may now be
bought to hide from view the un-

Protecting an Atlantic Cable.

tMcClure's Magazine for January: The
core" is now finished. But as it now
stands It is in no wise fitted to meet
the shocks that await it at the bottom
as the sea. 1t must be protected
against the chatting of sands and rocks
and the possible wrenches of anchors
This protection lies in a sheath of steel
wires. separated from the soft gutta-
percha of the core by a packing OF Jute-
The lutte is spun about the core exactly
as the II copper wires of the conductor
are spun about a central wire; and
about all, finally, is spun the steel
sheathing in the same fashion
AS one goes about among the spin
ming machines, he notices that the Sec
tions of steel sheathing vary much in
thickness Here is one woven of "A
wires, one of Is, and one of Il. And the
wires also vary: so that the section of
the fewest wires is the largest in diam
eter Here is d section made, not of
single wires at all. but of strands of
three wires m fact, one sees seven
such diversity is this: In the middle
of the Atlantic a cable is dropped to
a depth of two or hree statute miles,
and as it is paved out to such depth
it must have a great burden to sus-
tain it's own weight. To make the
weight as little as possible, consistent
with needful quality and strength, be-
comes therefore important. The deeper.
a cable is laid the less its liability to
disturbance. and the deeD water sec
lions. therefore, may be made much
lighter than the shallow water sec
tons AS the cable draws nearer the
shore, where the dangers grow greater.
a heavier and heavier sheathing is
adopted, until, in what is known as the
shore end" comes the heaviest OF ali.
