TAN AND SUNBURN.
The Light Not the Heat of the Sun Re-
spOnsible for Them.

The Light Not the Heat of the Sun Re-
sponsible for Them.
While it was formerly believed that
the suns heat was responsible for tan
and sunburn, it has now been proven
that it is the light of the sun which
colors the skin. Persons exposed to
sunlight on mountain tops, at low tenn
perature, are burned as if they had
undergone heat as we'll. Painful burns
often result from light reflected from
snow and water. Persons exposed to
severe heat in mines, frerooms of steam
ers and rolling mills do not become
tanned in the same manner as those
W orking in the sun. The present the
DRY is that the actinic rays of sunlight
produce tan or sunburn. These rays
affect chemically certain substances
upon which they fall. Blue or violet
rays have much greater effect upon a
sensitive plate than red rays, and
this is also true of the human skin.
Red glass allows red light rays to pass
through it freely and rejects the COM
Elementary blue rays. Blue glass adj
mits blue or violet rays and excludes
red. A red fabric would be the most
effective protection against sunburn.
Blue is a most undesirable color for
wells. A woman, member of q party
Of tourists, wore striped red and white
waist during long exposure to suns
rays. She found herself burned in
stripes, the white affording no protec-
ton, as all rays pass through it. The
pigment or coloring matter of the skin
is the portion which receives the chem
zeal action of the sunlight. It is not
definitely known why some people
burn red, while others freckle or tam
The darkening of the skin is an effort of
nature to protect the sensitive parts
beneath. The darker the surface upon
which sunlight falls, the more difficult
it is for it to penetrate. Wind and
heat by irritating the skin sometimes
produce congestion which predisposes
to the effect of the suns rays.-Chicago

Cloth Dyed on Both Sides.

In England new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth a different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for lining. At first it
is dyed through in the usual manner.
It is then taken to a printing machine
provided with roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over it's surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up to the cloth. It is so
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
is finished in the ordinary way.-Chi-

Cut from the silk four circular ruffles
and sew upon the ribbon, beginning an

If the hair is worn high very pref

the circular ruffles upon the ribbon,
leaving plain space in front instead of
