Wells for Summer Wenr.

A veil protects the face from dust,
gives a stylish finish to the headgear,
and improves the looks of the wearer
if the right kind is worn. A dotted.
veil is usually more becoming than a
plain one, but the dots should be far
apart so as mo- to come within the line
of the eyes. Black wells are the first
choice, then black with white figures
and border. A bordered veil must be
worn with the border below the chin.
A double-width veil, having loose, easy
folds under the chin, is the most be-
coming to a slender face. Black wells
are worn with any color Of hat, but
brown and blue ones only look well
with hat OIL trimming of the same
color. Gray is worn with any hat, and
gray chiffon yelling is very stylish this
season for travelling wear. Cream
white wells are becoming to young
fresh faces even up to middle life, but
clear white nets are trying to any
woman over twenty-five. Wells are not
properly worn to evening entertain
ments.-Ladies' Home Journal.

TERRIBLE RIDE.
From the Times. Buffalo.

From the Times, Buffalo, N. Y.
Along one of the dismal roads in
Western New York, a man and wife
were driving as rapidly as the darkness
and inclement weather would permit.
n rain beat down upon the rubber
covering and found its way into every
crack and opening. The occupants of
the buggy were Dear Jones n his
wife, of S~pringville, N. Y. Everybody
is familiar with the name. He is the
ell-know starting Judge. who has be-
come famous for his impartial and fair
treatment of Jockeys at the post.
1t vas about ten years ago when
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones took that fateful
ride that came near costing her her
life. Mrs. Jones' clothes were thorough
ly soaked before town was reached.
There was no fire in their hotel room
and she became chilled to the bone be-

Nlnle on Mrs. Jones was an i'll woman.
Her trouble-well, it was about every
thing with which human flesh can be
afflicted. She had a strange. queer
feeling In her head, that felt as If sew
eral shot were rolling around loose on
her brain. Pen cannot describe the
torture she suffered. Local doctors told
her she had water on the brain. A
Times reporter called upon Mrs. Jones,
who said:
Ever since that terrible wetting I
,received, up to a yea ago, I was an
invalid. I had terrible neuralgia pains
in the head which often went to my
feet and limbs. / wac often in UGH a

At the Electrical Exposition.

1t is interesting to turn from the
commercial and industrial develop
ments to the long rows of cases in
which Mr.. Colt, on behalf of the United
States patent office, has brought to-
cether a collection of no fewer than
800 models of electrical apparatus,
filed with the department at Washing
ton. Here one strikes deep at the root
of things, and an hour spent over
these cases eQuips the intelligent OBJ
server for a ready comprehension OF
all the brilliant moving apparatus seen
elsewhere around the halls. For in
stance, in one case is Edison's first in
candescent lamp, so recent and so ia
miliar that one is startled to learn
that 10000, 900 such incandescent
lamps are now burning around the
world. Near by is a model of the first
patent upon a system of distribution
which is the basis of all modern work
of any bulk in cities. Not far away
lie all the early models of the tele-
phone. over which Prof. Bell spent
several minutes in pleased surprise
when visiting the show last week. a
bare twenty years has elapsed since,
as a pool struggling teacher, Bell
placed his models with the patent
office, but to-day. thanks to his efforts
ard these of other men who's work is
included here, 7J0,GO0,O0O telephone
conversations are exchanged in this
country every year, or more than ten
times as many as there are on the tel
egraph.-New York Post.

Seeing Into Gold Quartz.

Some very unique c~athode-ray eX-
periments of extraordinary success
have recently been made in Oregon
City by DR.. ]. c. Perry, a well known
physician of this city, and w. g.
Cheney, superintendent Of the Port
land General Electric company. The
experiments were made with gold
bearing rock, in which the rays defined
the free gold as plainly as if it lay on
the surface of the quartz. so far as
known, this is the first successful eX-
pertinent of the kind with quartz, and
the results obtained justify the asSer-
ton that the new ray will prove OF
immense value in mining operations.
Besides their successful experiments
with quartz DR.. Perry and Mr.. Cheney
have succeeded in cutting down the
time of exposure to IA quarter OF an
hour. The Importance of his decrease
in time is significant, when it is re-
uuired to retain one position without
moving throughout the exposure. Both
DR.. Perry and Mr.. Cheney explain
this decrease by the effectiveness of
Mr.. Cheney's induction coil, which was
used in all the experiments, II which
it's owner considers the most powerful
coil west of Chicago.-San Francisco
Examiner.

Making Sailing Ships Go Faster.

Making Sailing Ships Go Faster.
The statement of an Italian sea cap
tain that he had proved by experience
are perforated with a number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was
at first looked upon as too ridiculous
for consideration. Unbelievers, how
ever, now find that the Italian has
gone a long way toward proving his
case. His theory is that the force of
the wind can not fairly take effect on
an inflated sail. because of the cush-
ior of immovable air that fills up the
hollow. To prevent this cushion col.
lecting he bored a number of holes in
the sail, which let part of the wind
blow right through it and allowed the
| remainder to strike against the can
| vas and exercise its full effect. Sew
eral trials have been made, and it
looks as if this is another of those
| paradoXical truths which appear so
impossible on the surface. The expert
| merits were made in all WeatherS. In
a light wind a boat with ordinary sails
made four knots, While with the per-
forated sails she covered five and Il
| quarter knots; in a fresh breeze size
did seven knots with ordinary sails.
and eight and three-quarters knots
with the improved sails; in a strong
wind she did eight knots and ten
knots respectively. If this augmented
speed were sustained throughout a
long voyage it would increase the
value of the ship one-tifth, as she
would make the same trip in four
weeks that she did before in five
weeks,

Choosing Graduation Finery.

"A winsome personality is that Of the
young graduate. Her attire, ideally
simple, is suited to her girlhood and to
h demands of the occasion. The
wearing of all white is as much a mat
ter of sentiment as of fashion. Often,
however. the necessity for a touch of
color, usually in seme delicate shade,
is imposed by the Wearer's complex
lonal characteristics.
The material may be silk, wool or
cotton, according to taste, there being
an embarrassment of riches in fab
RIGS adaptable for this purpose. Fig
ured white China crepes, gauzeS
among which mousseline de sole and
chiffon reign, have not only beautiful
luStrouS surfaces, but in texture are
soft, flexible and comfortable to pres
ent modes. Among the woolens are
plain and figured mohairs, satin-striped
canvas, finely figured etamine, crepon
and fayetta. Silkwarp crepon is much
admired, and so is a new linen-and-silk
mixed dotted gazine, a fabric not easily
distinguished from silk. Silk is also
worn, but it really gives no better sat
isfaction than French organdy, nain-
sock, dotted Swiss or India null, the
favorite cotton textiles. Ribbon, lace,
embroidery, some simple gimp, and, of
course, flowers, are the decorations
most generally employed.
The hosiery is white Isle thread or
silk embroidered or in openwork. The
slippers or Oxford ties are of white
glace kid. White Suede gloves are in
order-mousquetaires when the sleeves
are short and buttoned when they eX
tend to the wrist. The couture gen
orally worn is by all means that which
should be chosen for graduation

Electrical Equipment of Long TrunK

listing steam lines, says it is a mistake
to suppose that electric traction is till

able to electricity, so far as it has been
tried. The experimental intraInural
roa gave results so far beyond the
most sanguine expectations. that with
in a few months one of the longest ele-
waited systems in Chicago was similarly
equipped. The latest striking success
in electric traction has been achieved
in the operation of the special locomO-
tives made for hauling trains through
the Baltimore tunnel. The locomotive
proved so powerful that no known
method of testing is sufficient in its
scope TO determine their efficiency. DR..
Dunca believes these locomotives will
pull any train that will hold itself to-
gether. The only obstacle existing to-
day in the equipment of long trunk
lines economically is the transmission
OF power. The fact that power gener-
ated at Niagara Falls is now being de.
llvered in New York. $50 miles off,
with a loss of only half it's efficiency, is
OF the utmost significance, and it has
probably done more than any recent
even to strengthen the belief that the
problem of cheap transmission of pow
er will soon be worked out. DR.. Dun
can is confident that the next few years
will see trains run from Buffalo east
ward to New York, and westward tc
Chicago, by electricity, and that the
vast culm piles of Pennsylvania used
as tile source of power for the Pennsyl
vania Railway system between Pitts
burg and New York.

KILLED ny AN ANTS BITE.


&eOrgfan Dies In Agony From the
Sting of an Insect.
News of a remarkable death, near
Pond Springs, Ga, a few miles from
this city, was received here this after
noon. Ben Harris, the eighteen-year-
old son of a farmer. was hoeing cot
ton in a large field. A laborer work.
ing near him heard the boy give a
wild scream. The young man then
ran a few feet and sunk to the ground
writing and screaming in agony. In
ten minutes the boy was dead. Ex-
animation showed that Harris had
been stung by a ''bull-ant,' as the in
sect is called in that country. The ant
was found clinging to the swollen, pur-
pie ankle of the unfortunate lad. and
was secured and preserved by David
Hall. a Chattanooga. who was in the
vicinity. Mr.. Hall said that bullants
are numerous in the Pigeon noun
tains, the scene of the occurrence.
They are about an inch in length, and
nave a singer which is fully half an
inch long. One other case is on record
where the bite of the insect proved
fatal.-St. Louis Constitution.
