There has been watch making at
Coventry as long as there has been a
watch trade in England. which is for
the last 200 years or Whereabouts. There
used TO be three centers of the English
trade, these being Liverpool, Coventry
and London. Now there are practically
but two, Coventry and Birmingham.
An American named FLOYD claims to
have accidentally discovered a sub
stance which, when once ignifed, can
not be extinguished by water or other
means. but will burn itself out. It is
easily and cheaply made, but the discov-
erer, afraid of the misuse 10 which it
might be put, refuses to disclose the
secret of the ingredients.
That not only animals but plants
also will have some of their juices or
liquids freeze in the winter time is
well known. Twigs VIII snap easily

and ice crystals can be readily discerned
by the microscope. But the question,
asks Meehan's Monthly, is do they
freeze solid? The contention is that the
active living cells cannot do this, ard
still live.

MATERIALS FOR SPRING,
Fashionable Coiors and Correct
Styles of Trimming

In one or two of the large establish
ments in New York there is always a
prominent counter devoted TO what are
to be the new fabrics and color-a place
fhonneur, as ii were. Sometimes a very
curious observer will discern that the
goods thus displayed are withdrawn
within a very short time, as though
there had been tentative feeling of the
public pulse and the temperature was
not what it might be. This season, so
far, the piece d'honneur has been given
TO smooth, light cloths, such as were
the fashion in Paris last summer, ard
most exquisite are the shades in cash
mere, drap d'ete, etc, while a fne-cord
Light weight blue serge is shown, to be
made up most deliberately and with ex-
pensive ribbons. By the way, let no
woman delude herself into the belief
il will cost little 70 dress well this year.
Materials may seem extraordinarily
cheap, but there is every indication that
much trimming is TO be used on waists
and skirts alike, and yards and yards
Will be necessary to make the velvet
bands or the tiny ruffles that look so
smart and fresh.
Gray in all the different shades is to
be greatly the rage, and the favorite
trimming, particularly on the cash
Ineres, will be the graduated trimming
rowsof black velvetribbon sewed on only
Mt one edge, which gives more a ruffle
look. The putting on of these bands is a
difficult task. and it must be remem-
bered that it is fashion much moro
becoming to slender than 1t is 10 stout
women.
On serges silk braid will be put on in
the same way as the velvet ribbon, and
as the skirt. Three rows of either
velvet or braid arc sometimes put
around the front and side breadths.
and then turned and so arranged as TO
go up the back of the skirt to the waist
1t is claimed that this il more becom-
ing, and gives nore graceful lines. but
unless very cleverly done, it looks ex-
ceedingly ungraceful. A much more
becoming style, though not so new an
idea ia to trim the seams from waist
TO hem with braid or velvet Sewed on
fat. Fortunately. it is at last consid-
cred possible 70 modify fashions and
make them becoming. In this age of
the world, when dress is so marked. both
in color and design, and although the
fat has gone forth for trimmed skirts,
the trimming may, as has been said, be
put on in many different ways.-Har-
