Cerise. pink. white blue liberty silk
and cherry taffeta are among the materials
most popular for theater and dinner waists,
but this is only beginning of the enumer-
alton of the materials of which they are
made. One can only advise, trim them
deliberately, have them of as gay colors
as one can wear with a becoming effect
and then keep them in their place. Do not
have the whole wardrobe of separate
waists with one or two skirts. This has
actually been done within the last few
years and should be avoioe1, especially by
women of ample proportions.
With the shirt waists a well-made skirt
of check or plaid is most fashionable. and
with the elaborate waists black MORE

Miles and Knots,
From Harper's Round Table.

From Harper's Round Table
A statute mile is $3.50 feet long. It ia
our standard of itinerary measure adopted
from the English, who in turn adopted it
from the Romans. A Roman military mace
by which distances were measured was the
length of the step taken by the Roman SOL
diers, and was approximately five feet
long; thousand of these PAGES were calico
in Latin a mile. The English mile is there
fore, a purely arbitrary measure. enacted
into legal measure by a statute passed
during the reign Of Queen Elizabeth; 1t has
no connection with any scale in nature
A nautical mile, on the other hand, is
equal to one-sixtieth part of the length OF
q degree Of a great circle of earth Rul
the circumference of the earth is nowhere
a true circle; its radius of curvature is va
riable; hence the nautical mile, as matter
OF TACT, depends upon the shape as we'll as
the size of the globe sailed over: and hence
strictly speaking. the length of the nauti-
cal mile should vary with the latitude from
6,046 feet at the equator to 6, 100 feet at the
pole. Such extreme accuracy is NOT neces-
sary In navigating, and cannot be well at
tained without undue labor. The Enelish
admiralty, therefore, have adopted 60SO
feet as the length Of a nautical mile, which
corresponds with the length of one-sixtieth
of a degree-or one minute of arc--of a
great circle in latitude 4S degrees The
United States coast survey has adopted the
value of the nautical mile las equal to one
sixtieth part Of the length of degree On
the great circle Of sphere whose surface
Is equal to the surface of the earth. This
gives the length Of one nautical mile as
equal to 6.0S0I7 feet. which is very nearly
the value Of the admiralty mile adopted in
the English navy. Practically the nautical
mile is 500 feet longer than the statute
mile. In other WORDS, one nautical mile is
equal to 115lb statute miles; or one statute
mile is equal to 0.S69 nautical mile. Null
tiply nautical miles by 1.15l5 and the pro-
duct will be statute miles: or multiply stat
ute miles by 0.869, and the product viii be
nautical miles.

LIGHTING NIAGARA.
VA Dascoli. Vienna ,

scheme to illuminate the FamOus
Gorge.
FROM the Rochester Post and Express
An experiment in lighting the gorge of
the Niagara river, which was tried this
week In connection with the convention of
electricians. is likely to bear important re-
suits, and has furnished a spectacle of ex-
traordinary magnificence. The illumina-
ton was arranged under the personal di-
lection of Luther Stieringer, the man who
designed ard operated the Examinations
and electric fountains at the worlds fair
On the platform car, between two open
cars. he took six monster electric search
lights and number of colored gelatine
screens. At 10 o'clock in the evening the
start was made down the Gorge road The
search lights took their electricity from
the trolley wire, and when they were d.
rected upon the shores and tumbling river
ard the lights in the open cars were turned
on. the scene was rarely beautiful 1t
looked as though such (moon) light as
never was, on land or sea-" had trans
formed the scene. But as the cars moved
On. and Mr.. Stieringer changed the screens
Tar more magical, wonderful and startling
enects were secured. Now 1t looked as
though one were seeing with Dante-eyes
so red and fierce was the scene, and so
darkiy red the shadowy banks between
which the river tossed waves of blood
Further down, beneath the new steel arch
bridge, where the furious rapids were toss

red and green lights were used. Then
the plain lights were shown again, and
then. where the rapids are strongest and
widest, the red screens were used with
an effect whose wierdness the contrast
vastly heightened. So impressive was the
spectacle that for several minutes there
was absolute silence in the cars and then
cheer of admiration broke out From
that point to the end of the road the colors
were changed rapidly. with beautiful eff
fect. and at midnight the party returned
10 the falls. 1t is said that the success
OF the experiment insures the illumination
OF the gorge by search lights next season,
and that means the addition to the at
fractions of Niagara of wonderfully thrill
seen. will not be forgotten. Former visit
ors to Niagara will recall that when the
state reservation was private property,
there was for the last season two q
successful illumination of the upper rapids
and of the falls themselves. and a height
ening of their wildness and wierdness and
beauty by similar use of colored screens.
The scene was one to remember and Nj
aeara visitors have reason to congratulate
themselves that private enterprise again
proposes thus to enhance the night wonder
please about natural beauty. nature is
too prone to veil her beauty at night; and
If esthetes be shocked at an artificial color
ing Of the water, and find no compensa-
lion for loss of naturalness in such be-
w!ldering riotousness of color and gro
tesqueness as one can hardly dream Of,
even they must approve the lights which
make visible the natural beauty when
darkness would otherwise veil the scene.

There iG a woman in Braddock who can

Sanscrit to hog Latin. The faculty came
to her as naturally swimming does to
duck. Her knowledge is not the result
of teaching. but Of association with people
of every tongue. She speaks eleven Ian
guages fluenty, yet she struggles over
the washtub in order that her six children
can go to school.
Mrs. Julia Antonishin was born at Aros-
laInos, Hungary, thirty-two years ago. Her
parents were German. When she was six
years old they moved to Aninina, Germany.

Mrs. Antonishin was ironing. Her hands

to ner labors. Her youngest child is six

ceived a call from one of the species. The
man was dirty, unkempt and Enthusiastically

the picture. as he came up with genial
smile and a good deal of manner. a

Whether. in the long run, electricity has
