Chignon means really the nape of the
neck. And the new mode requires the
back hair be punched and covered with
net of some description at the nape of the
neck.
Matinee girls, some actresses, and wax
figures are the only ones who yet have
adopted the fashion, but they are kind
enough to accustom US to the sight of it so
that later VIC. may all wear chignons with
out being conspicuous. Sniff if we choose,

The White Whale Was Drowned.

The white whale at the aquarium,
New York, died the other night from q
curious cause. Superintendent Bean
found long piece Of large eel pro-
truding from the whales blowhole, the
valve of which was so wedged by the
eel that the hole could not be closed.
DR.. Bean thinks that the whale had
overloaded its stomach with the live
eels, which were kept in the tank with
it for 1t to eat, and vomited, part Of the
contents Of the stomach being forced
through the nasal passage into the blow
hole. As the latter could not be closed,
water must have been drawn through it
into the lungs every time the whale
sounded DR.. Bean is confident that
the lungs are full Of water, and that the
whale was literally drowned. The body
was taken to the American Museum Of
Natural History, where it will be
mounted after an autopsy is performed.

OF Professor Bemis from the faculty OF the
Chicago University because his teachings
were antagonistio to the business Interests
Of the great monopolist who founded and
supports tho institution, and the deposit
tion OF President Andrews because Of HE
free silver views, have been taken by many
to mean that the colleges are hopelessly In
the grasp of the money power. The frank
ness with which the faculty of Brown pro-
nounced the contributions of the rich
more necessary to the university than the
best services OF the eminent educator who
built 1t up goes far to justify this belief.
Not improbably the new institution will
profit greatly by the fact that tho man
who was SO summarily ousted at Brown Is
to be Its president.
1t Is true that no correspondence uni
versity can in all respects take the place
of study and residence at an established
college. Yet it may exert a wide influence
for greater proportion of those who seek
It's aid do so with sincere purpose. An
eminent American said once of colleges
that they were places where bricks were
polished and diamonds dimmed. 1t is prob
able that If in home study the polishing
process should be little more slow and
its results less brilliant, the danger Of
destroying the lustre OF character would
be vastly less.
The scope CT Dr., Andrewss influence will
be widened rather than narrowed by his
new occupation. II his overthrow at
Providence was indeed the result of the
sinister Vaccinations of the plutocracy,
the ''plutes" have been hoisted with their
own petard.

Tho Horses Run Not Side by Side, but In
Opposite Directions.
II is q racing day in Moscow. The
course is swept free from snow and fol-
lows the wooded shores with red paint
cd ratings on each side On one side
is p stand. with seating room for sev-
sral thousand people, and special box.
with tent hangings, for the governor
general. surmounted by the imperial
eagle in gold. In front Of this box, low
or down. you see the prizes, consisting
Of gold and silver cups, vases and orna-
mental pieces, all in Russian style and
taste.
A bell rings, the course is cleared by
mounted gendarmes and the competitors
In due order take their places in front
of the stand, but not side by side, as
they always start from opposite sides Of
the course, with heads also turned in
opposite directions The usual race
course hum and noise Of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are off And the fascination of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting Is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia. You cannot recognize people
just yet-the great fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear never missing cigarettes The
ladies' heads are almost entirely Gov
cred by woolen wraps, 20 here again
you can only guess who is who. To
stranger not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
game might seem monotonous enough,
as the horses do not finish side by side,
but in the way they started. Yet the
Russians think differently, and. besides,
are there not plenty of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing light little sleighs, in
which the driver il seated very low
down and far away from the horse, ow-
ing to the long shafts intended to give
the horse perfect freedom Of action. A
whip Is not used, but on the reins are
metal buckles over the quarters, which
are employed instead, and almost all
horses run without blinkers.
Sometimes horse is attached to tho
sleigh ON one side of the trotter, who Is
between the shafts He is the pacemak-
er and gallops the whole course,
whereas, 1t need not be said, the trotter
must not break. Then follow pair
horses, harnessed, and lastly troikas
with three horses, sometimes four
abreast. Troikas are very barbarously
gaudy and clumsy things TO look at, but
exceedingly comfortable all the same

Drill with Magnetic Clamping.

The use of magnets for lifting pur-
poses and as substitute for clamps is
rapidly extending. With the old process
holes have to be bored in masses of
metal in all sorts of odd and incon-
venient places and at angles, so that
very often it is necessary to rig clamps
for holding tho drilling machine to it's
work. The application Of the portable
electric motor for this purpose was q
long step in advance, and this method
has been Of great service in dealing
with the armor Of the new cruisers.
When portable drill, however. is
coupled with magnetic clamping de-
vice, the ideal conditions are realized.
DR.. Louis Bell recently described q
drill Of this pattern. It consists of q
motor and it's worm driven drill, togeth-
or with q universal mounting Of four
adjustable feet. When placed fairly
upon . ships plate or other mass Of
iron, these drills have an adhesive force
Of nearly half ton each. The drill oan
then be adjusted and clamped by the
simple turning Of key, and IL will
then bore holes up to an inch in diam
eter as fast as it can be safely worked.
