Not Many New Things in Dress Goods.

Special Correspondents Of the Globe.
NEW YORK; May 29.-There are not
very many new things to mention in
dress goods this week, the principal
novelties being In the styles of made
up garments. = These seem to vary
with each succeeding week until the
variety Is overwhelming when one sets
out to describeit all. There are plain
little frocks where the chief beauty
consists in their simplicity These have
the gathered waist and plain gathered
or shirreds skirt, sometimes with a foot
trimming Of ruffles, but quite as often
hemmed. These are the prints, ging-
hams, organdiee, lawns and other cot
tom goods. There is, after all, nothing
pTettier than these for summer wear.
They look so clean and cool.
One very lovely and dainty dress was
OF white linen lawn with founces Of
cream colored lerre lace from top to
bottom. The waist had a bertha Of the
lace, and there was wide pale blue
mOire sash and stock of the same,
with a lace ruff1e at the neck. | can
not tell how light and pretty this dress
was. Lierre lace is comparatively
cheap and always light and yet rich.
Where the cream color is laid over
pure white the effect is exquisitely
beautiful. 1t is no wonder that the
poets rave over the summer girls when
arrayed in gowns like that. Big white
hats dented in and pushed out, turned
up and turned down, covered with 1ot-
Ing plumes or nodding flowers, make
the wearers pictures of beauty and
grace.
There is one pretty new summer stuff
called Russian Grape. This is very
light and yet made of cords, but 1t is
of silk and wool mingled. 1t is quite
open meshed, and all the cords have
craped up surface. It is shown in all
the seasons colors. 1t is, like all the
open meshed goods, to be made up over
a lining Of a contrasting color. Moire
canvas is another of the new open ma
terials, and this is made of all wool,
the threads being firmly twisted, so
that it is as firm as iron frame grena-
dine. The lining of contrasting color
shows the moire design beautifully.
Nuns yelling is offered now as new
summer fabric. 1t is of all wool and
finer than chaalie and in solid tones.
Some of it is beautifully embroidered
in deep pattern. Some has very
rich and heavy embroidery, with double
lace applique, the yelling being cut out
in deep scallops and the design carried
ON over the lace between. This is very
rich when done all in black and made

From this point the road runs In
nearly straight line toward the SUI
preme summit. When opposite the SEQ
ond great peak, Monch, the third sta
ton is reached. This is called Monch,
and is 1898 metres above sea level
Here will be built another hotel. This
station will be general stopping place
for climbers, and the great Moncn,
with its 4,105 metres Of altitude, cam be
readily reached with the aid OF proper
appliances and good guides.
From this point there Is gradual
descent to the Guggtgletscher Galerie.

cars will pass along the top of one Of
the steepest walls Of the mountain. q

From there tunnel carries the road

And yet, at the terminus Of the road,
the actual summit is not yet reached.
The real apex is a ledge of rock that
shoots up siXty-siX metres higher, but
with crown 80 narrow that the rail-
rc2d cannot reach it. SO the passenger
will dismount and enter a tower
through whose interior an elevator
quickly lifts him to the supreme point.
The elevator will be worked by
dynamo whose power comes from
hydraulic motor utilizing the waters of
Lake Luchinen in the Lauterbrunnen.
Within the tube is winding staircase
so that travellers not caring to use the
elevator may reach the summit afoot
All the tunnels and stations are to be
lighted by electricity and connected
with the world below by telephone and
telegraph. Near the top a magnificent
road Is to be built, extending for miles,
upon which visitors may enjoy sleigh
rides.
The cost Of a round trip will be only

and a carrier for the two days neces-
sary to make the ascent afoot.

holy of holes, while a thousand voices
burst into grateful song as they well
coined the new year.
1t may be here observed that nearly all
ancient temples, and indeed nearly all
CHRISTIAN churches until quite modern
times, were orentated to the east. IN
deed, this practice has given us the word
orlentate, which means to set to the ris
ing sun or star, that is to the east. The
Grecian Parthenon was orientated to the
Pleiades or seven stars, Solomon's tenn
pie and the Egyptian pyramids were ORR
entated to the equinoctial sun, as is also

churches. \ church dedicated to st. John
should be orientated to the sun as Il rises
on the day of the year dedicated to that
saint, while one dedicated to St. Peter. in
accordance with the same practice would
be differently orientated. The columns in
front of all ancient temples and most
modern churches are even In number and
never odd, thus leaving an unobstructed
passage way for the light of the rising
sun or star to penetrate to the sacred al
tar In the rear, which Is always closed.
Now comes the strangest part of the
story Of these Egyptian temples, and one
which is full of scientific interest. A tenn
pie dedicated to Sirius and carefully ORR
entated to that star would serve TO catch
Its rising rays through the long narrow
walled aisle for several hundred years,
but by very slow change in the direction
of the earth's axis, due to the procession
of equinoxes the star In time would cease
to rise In the same place and its rising
rays could be no longer observed by the
priest at the altar as he looked down the
narrow aisle OF the temple. Astronomers
now understand this change, but the
Egyptians knew nothing of Il until it be-
came manifest in the actual change in the
position of the star itself on the horizon
rendering their temples in time useless
for the purposes for which they were
built. Nothing was left them except 10

or so 70 change the direction OF the aisle
as TO adapt Il once more TO the changed
position of the star. This they did. only
for future generations to repeat as the
stars position would slowly change its
rising place on the horizon. Although
these temples were marvels OF human

their ruins TO show that this tearing down
