WAIT UNTIL NEXT SPRING
Ana we may Show Something New in
the Way of an Electric Looomo-
tive.

A German engineer commissioned by
MS government to look into the meth
eds adopted in this country for the
propulsion of cars by electricity is
quoted as saying that in the applica-
tlon of electrical science to this and
other purposes we are the leader of the
world
This is an admission which German
electricians have been slow to make.
They have not forgotten, among other
things, that theirs was the first electri-
cal railway, and very few of them have
realized how rapid has been the recent
development in the United States of
this and other departments of electrical
construction. The visitor in question
is described as a civil engineer, and
may have more open mind than his
brethren in the electrical field He evil
IDENTIFY expects greater things than ha
has yet seen, for he has applied for an
extension of his term of absence so
that he may see the developments OF
the next six months, which he believes
will include some of the greatest ex-
periments with electricity the world
has known. He says that the principal
treat will be in the use of electric mo-
tors ON steam roads, and he feels sure
that the results will be surprising.
While there is every reason to be-
lieve that this inquiring German is
right, one might wish that he had been
a little more specific. 1t is difficult to
imagine any very surprising results
from the use of the present type OF
electric motors ON steam railroads.
Their capacity has been pretty well
'discounted," both in the matter of
speed and of economy, and their i'm
prcvement lies along the line of me-
chanical rather than of electrical
achievement. Given a central power
station for the production of electric
force by the agency of steam or water,
and the conditions under which this
energy can be best conducted and ap-
piled to the moving of a train have
been pretty we'll thought out, if not per-
fected. But when it comes to the
transformation of the energy of steam
into electricity on the locomotive it
self, the possibility of surprising results
is, practically indefinite.
The Heilmann engine, the first real
electric locomotive, is already two years
old, though it is still regarded in
France as the most advanced product
of electrical invention. 1t is simply
combination of steam engine and dyna-
mo on a platform on wheels-a rolling
poWer-hOuse at the head of train.
Even more than that of the stationary
power-house, the combination involves
great deal of waste of power, and it
is in saving this that there is a pos
sibility of startling results.
1t is in the direction of simpler mech
anism for the production of electrical
vibration, and the use Of steam at pres
sures much higher than those avail
able under existing conditions, that
the progress of the immediate future
will be achieved. If our German visl-
tor waits till next spring he will doubt
less be able to see some very promising
experiments directed to this end.

HINTS FOR DEBUTANTES.
If You Don't Need Them Some Other
Girl Does.

Always take it for granted that every
one means well by you unless you have
proof to the contrary. The average
person in society has a good natured, or
at least a cynical sort of tolerance and
liking for you. Very few actually hate
you or want to spite you. When you
find out that there is some one who
does, don't discuss it or quarrel about
it if il can be avoided. Just drop The
person from your life as completely as
possible, and above all, never descend
to abuse him or her. 1t will hurt you
worse than it will your enemy. Never
treasure up a grievance; it will grow
out of all proportion with nursing.
Don't snub other women and girls
just because there is a man around.
This is the most fragrant fault of a
girl who has not learned relative
values. The man will not like you any
better for ignoring a girl friend and
earnestly deyoting yourself to him. 4
great many debutantes think their
success depends upon the men. 1t is a
sad mistake. 1t is the married women
and your girl comrades who can give
you a good time, or not, in the end:
Very few women dislike you because
of your successes, il is because of your
Haunting them.
Never ignore older and married men
They will not forgive it, and they
WELD a mighty power.
Don't wonder what construction will
be put on everything you Say, the way
you hold your head, and the way yor
laugh.
Don't wonder what people are think
ing of your nose and your gown anC
your hands, and the position Of you
feet. Ten to one they don't even set
you, and if they do they are not both
ering their heads about you. This il
not kind, but it IS eminently true. 4
very young girls worst fault is he
self-consciousness. 1t may be the con
seriousness of her shortcomings, bu
that is even more vexing than an ap
probation of her virtues.

CLUBS OF FAT WOMEN.
Their Object Is to Learn How to Dress
Effectively.

"Stouter than | used to be- is the
regretful exclamation Of many a
woman, but it is not every one who
would have the courage to enroll
themselves members of the newest
fad" society of New York, which sets
forth as its raison d'etre the study of
gowns and other wearing apparel
suited to women who weigh more than
40 pounds, or are too stout for their
height.
1t rejoices in the not inapt title of
the "Rubens club" Anyone the least
familiar with this painters work must
know how strongly feminine embon-
point appealed to him.
It's members, now some twenty in
number feel that fashion has sighted
them, and they have set to work to
work to make the best of themselves
without her aid.
They are wealthy, for they have en-
gagged a well-known artist to design
six gowns a season for each member,
and from his opinions on the matter
perhaps something is to be CLEANED,
although it apparently flies in the face
of all preconceived notions on the sub
ject.
For instance, he insists that white is
a diminishing color, and that cream
enlarges, and that satin, from the
amount of its uncertainty arising from
it's various lights and shades, is pref
oh1o to sill 1vo1Unt
He bestows an almost human aspect
on jet trimming, describing it as "a
wicked little ornament that winks IN
expectedly and disappears.
These ladies spend whole afternoons
in selecting colors, first in a blaze Of
sunshine, next in almost darkness, Their

THE BRAIN.
Bears Resemblance to a Photographic
Cylinder.

The brain of mankind has been de-
fined as kind of photographic cylin-
der. which retains impressions made
upon it through the medium of the
senses, particularly through the eyes
and ears. If this be true, memory
must depend for it's intensity or re-
tentive qualities upon the degree of OBJ
servation with which the record is
made.
Nor is this ALL If memory's record
is kept in the shape of indentations
upon the folds of the brain matter, are
they ever entirely effaced? In other
words, do we really ever forget amy
thing? May it not be the brain mem
DRY have stored up recollections Of
things which are never again purpose
ly turned to, perhaps, but which in
stantly spring into being and flash
through the mind whenever we hear
or see something which recalls them?
There are several well known mental
phenomena which strengthen this the
Dry We know that memory often
brightens during the last moments OF
life, and there are cases on record
where Germans, French, Spaniards and
others, who, falling ill in this country
years after having entirely forgotten
their native languages, recovered and
used them upon their death beds.
There is a theory that in ali such
cases the brain folds have relaxed, just
as do the muscles and cords of the
limbs and body, and that by so doing
they expose the minds monitor linden
tations (recollections), which were
long since folded up and put away as
material that could not be Of any par
