The Companion Calendar

1t is said that the expense of making
the Companion Art Calendar for 1897 was
so great that had it been published in the
usual quantity 1t could not be sold for less
than one dollar. Four beautiful female
figures are reproduced on four folding
pages. Each figure is Autographed in IL
colors, being true reproduction of the
original water color painting, which was
selected because of its excellence of design
and charm of color and tone. The size of
each of the four folding pages is 101 by
inches 1t is given free to all new subscrlb-
ers sending $1.75 to the Companion for the
year 1897, who receive also the paper free
from the time the subscription is received
till Jan. 1, 1897.
Celebrating in 1897 its seventy6 first BIRTH
day the paper offers its readers many ex-
ceptionally brilliant features. Fully two
hundred of the most famous men and wom-
en- of both continents have contributed to
the next years volume of the paper. For

Robarts ample opportunity for his tests.
The doctor considers that he made the
most extensive and thorough test that
has ever been made In this line. He Is
highly gratifed with the result of the ex-
periments and said after finishing the tests
that they had been a success beyond his
expectations
Persons who had no recollection of ever
seeing light or anything else were able
TO distinguish shadows and trace the out
lines OF objects held before them. Even
persons whose eyeballs were missing were
able to distinguish objects with a clear
ness that surprised the experimenter. In
some cases. however, no impression was
made on the senses of the patients.
The apparatus used was the Nicola Tesla
compound apparatus. machine Weighing
about five hundred pounds. This is at
tached to the wire Of an ordinary incan-
descent house electric light, the current
being multiplied by the apparatus.
The tube through which the rays are
presented to the senses OF the afflicted per-
son is known as the Horoscope. 1t is held
70 the head Of the sightless person either
In front, before the useless eyeballs or
socket; In the case OF persons whose eye
balls are gone, at the side OF the head, and
then at the back of the head Some of
those enabled to see found the results best
when held at the back Of the head
In many cases the experience Of the sub
ject was similar to that OF child taking
bis first object lesson. and DR.. Robarts says
that II the apparatus Is made available 70
such persons they VIII have to be taught
as children.
One interesting case was that OF Walter
Kelley, twenty-six years old. whose sight
had been destroyed through I've being

nation, resulting in the lids uniting firmly
with the globes. and he had not seen light
for ten years The apparatus was applied,
and letters made Of lead about an inch
long, were held before him. He was able
70 distinguish the object, but could not
name the letter

one of the simple tailor COWS is made
OF military blue ladies' cloth. The skirt
is full, plain godet, with strapped seams.
The short Jacket fits closely to the figure
IN the back, and the basQues stand out
IN stiff ripples so that facing of white
surah is visible. At the front the Jacket
opens in blazer fashion to show a great
expanse of silk blouse. The revers are

very perpendicular tucks that form a

bow and are mounted by rather large bal
looms. A band of passementerie in blue
and red follows the bust line and is contin-
ued over the puffs of both sleeves. The
tall crush collar is of dull red taffeta.

ordinary round belt, a piece of ribbon two
yards long and two and half inches
wide was tackled at the back of the waist
This was to be tied around the waist
twice and knotted with one long loop and
two ends at the side. With little trouble
a stout girl can arrange this kind of girdle
so that it will be most becoming by draw
ing the ribbon down into slight point at
the front and pinning 1t there.
The other blouse that was simpler, was
made of dark brown taffeta, shot with
green The back of the bodice fitted close
ly and two box plaits came from the shoul-
der seams to the g1rdle. The front was
dartless and bloused a trifie over the girdle.
There were three OF the box plaits at the
front, all Of them piped with citron green
satin ribbon. The sleeves were rather
close fitting for quite a distance above the
elbow and they were mounted by full bal
looms that were draped up to the armhole
seams.
A dressing gown for afternoons was
made of sage green light weight camel
hair The skirt was an ordinary width
godet with a bias band of Tartan taffeta
around the bottom that was three inches
wide. The back Of the bodice was plain,
with a Zouave effect Of the silk wrought
by bringing two pieces Of draped silk
from the short back seams, crossing them
at the back and gathering them into the
under arm seams.
AT the front the bodice was dartless
and boused over the girdle. The Zouave
effect was carried out by bringing pieces
of the draped silk from the under arm
seams and knotting them just at the bust
line. The high straight collar was Of the
plaid silk, and the pointed cuffs and mar
row girdle were OF the same, There were
ordinary coat sleeves on this gown that
were just a trihe fuller than the usual
run of this seasons coat sleeves.
For slender, growing girls, who are al
ways in the majority, / notice, there
were no end OF pretty model gowns. In
the skirts Of their gowns a difference was

anything for thirty years. His eyeballs had
been totally destroyed. A plate OF lead was
moved back and forth over the duoroseupe,
when he exclaimed. II see" The object APP
peared TO him as a mere shadow, but he
was able to tell its form.
stu another case was that of Miss Kit
tie Helmke, teacher in the Missouri
school for the blind "a years old, a pupil
OF the blind asylum, who had no recollec-
ton OF ever having seen anything. She
was able to distinguish shadows, but
could not describe the form Of objects
placed before her
DR.. Robarts thinks that the apparatus
may be developed to degree that Will
enable blind persons to see objects with a
considerable degree of clearness; also that
II may be simplified so as to be more
readily adapted to their use
From the experiment he adduced that
the retina of the eye is not the actual
point of contact at which an object is pre-
scented to the senses Of the beholder, but
that 1t Is a mirror which might be re-
placed by an artificial one in case other
portions OF the eyeball remain intact. He
contends that by the use of X-rays the
object, light or shadow Is presented di-
rectly to the corpora qudra germina, or
germ of sight, located between the cere-
Drum and cerebellum, on line with the
eyes, but nearer to the posterior wall of
the skull than to the face.
This conclusion that the retina is simply
a mirror Is directly at variance with all
works on physiology. he says, even the
latest of which teach that the retina re-
ceives the impression of the object, as
does the prepared plate of a camera
Further experiments are to be made by
DR.. Robarts.

cleverness with which she decks her head.
The three school girls were all dressed in
tweeds, with the exception of one in hairy
cloth. One of the girls was slender and
she wore a grown-up godet skirt and belt
ed jacket. Her waist was quite tapering
and she could wear the styles of her elders.
Her dress was a plaid in green and buff,
with belt of black suede stitched in buff
Her hat was pointed crown in braided
felt, tiny spirals of the braid extending
from crown to brim, and at the back there
stood tall tips and a bow of buff ribbon
The little, short, dumpy girl Of the three
wore a blouse and her waist was intimated
by plaid of scarlet and green silk An
immense bow covered the front of her
waist. The little tweed dress was in the
scarlet and green hues, and her hat was
of dark scarlet felt with a bow of light
green taffeta.
The dress with furry surface was the
smartest Of the three. Its color was beet
red, with an applique in white cloth stitch
ed upon it. In the center of each circle of
the applique was tiny button Of garnet
paste. The same trimming edged the
basque and the foot of the skirt
The waist of this dress had what is call
ed box belt. 1t consisted Of a broad
band of striped material put on with the
stripes running up and down. The colors
were beet red upon white. The box belt
does not confne the figure closely. but is
used to give shape to the waist The col
lar matched the belt.

A handsome afternoon gown was made
Of rough goods with a background of
burnt orange that was almost covered
with a rough brown check. The bodice
had a plain seamless back, with tiny
plats holding the fullness at the waist
line. The front was plated at the Shout
der seams and was brought down loosely
into the tail girdle. 1t opened to show
a vest Of yellow satin that was covered
full with pierced ecru batiste. The small
pointed revers, the crush girdle and col
/ lar were all of burnt orange velvet.
A dressy gown of fawn ladies cloth had
full godet skirt that was scalloped
around the bottom to show a ruffie of
sapphire blue velvet The bodice of white
satin was almost hidden by narrow bias
folds Of sapphire velvet that were edged
with deep cream Valenciennes lace These
were tackled in perpendicular stripes from
the shoulder seams TO the girdle. The
girdle was of sapphire velvet, round be-
hind and made in front like a corselet. IT
was draped and fastened at the side with
a double head. The close-htung sleeves
were OF sapphire velvet mounted by puffs
of the fawn cloth. There were beautiful
party and house gowns for young girls,
but / had to promise to come again and
look more closely at them, for ! could de-
vote a whole letter to describing their
charms.
Enough cannot be SAID In praise OF these

st. Louis, No. Nov. 24.-Dr. Heber
Robarts conducted a series of interesting
experiments with X rays this afternoon
at his office, No. 3,s14 Morgan street, with
view to ascertaining whether the blind
may be able to see by the aid of X rays.
The fact that DR.. Robarts intended to
conduct experiments of this sort had been
publicly announced, and there were about
forty sightless persons at his office.
Among them were several pupils from the
State Blind Asylum. These, and the vari-
Gus forms OF disease or accident which
caused the loss of sight, afforded DIR.
