LACK ORIGINALITY.
A Frenchman Claims That All Amer
lean Women Dress alike


4 Frenchman of sharp perception
who was recently in this country SAID
In speaking of American women thai
they were the most beautiful women h.
had ever seen in any country, far, fa1
more handsome as a type than his owl
eountrywomen, says L'Art de Ia Mode
But for their toilets, BAH" he said
contemptuously Any considerable
number of American women together
look as if they had come out of al
orphan asylum for adults, where the
inmates were all dressed alike with "A
few variations thrown in. thanks tC
the gifts of sympathizing outsiders
who presented some elegant garments.
none Of which, however, reached the
women to whom they were suited"
Allowing for the eXaggeration of this
remark. there is yet so much of we'll
founded excuse for it it behooyes
American dressmakers to sift out the
grains of truth from the chatf of BIZ
ased opinions and profit by these grains.
Dressmakers are not to blame for the
orphan asylum appearance produced by
the wholesale use OF ready-made dresses,
but they are responsi BILE for their short
sighted adherence to the fictitious
value of shapes and their lack Of com
prehenson of the value of variety in
dress goods, the obligation upon all the
artistic dress1nakers to suit styles of
making to the goods in hand, and OF
understanding the values of colOrs and
their possible and desira bic combina-
tons for given wearer and occasion.
Dressmakers in this country have
made wonderful strides, but good
many of them have not fully got their
bearings yet. When they do get them
they will be second to no dressmakers
il the world.

PLATINUM IN RUSSIA.
The Rare Metal Found Chiefly In the
IrnI Mountains

The steady and rapid increase in the
demand for platinum has resulted in a
sharp advance in price, and consequent
ly in a somewhat corresponding in
crease in production, although the
metal is so rare that the production by
no means keeps even pace with the
growing demand. At present the
price of crude platinum at the mines
in Russia is 900 marks-about e As or
nearly s225-a kilogram, kilogram
being two and twO-tenths POUNDS, says
the Philadelphia Press.
The Russian ministry of finances has
recently issued a report on the produc-
ton of platinum in Russia. 1t has long
been known that Russia led all other
countries in the production of this
metal, although it was first discovered
in America, and the report shows that
Russia at present furnishes 40 times
that produced in all other countries
taken together. 1t is not vast amount
either. In the year 1880 the quantity
produced in Russia amounted to 2946
Kilograms: in 1895 it reached 4.413 kilo-
grams. This rare metal is found in
Russia only in the southern Ural. where
in mining for the metal the still rarer
metal iridium is found, but only in
small quantities. Last year the guam
tity of iridium obtained did not
amount to more than four and one
tenth Kilograms, or about nine pounds.
Platinum is a refractory metal, and the
methods of working it are not known
in Russia. so that the ore is exported to
Germany and to England. and Russia
reimports so much of the worked-up
platinum as it requires.

Of burning pottery or bricks is a recent
discovery. The success of the experi-
ment, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. is
likely TO reduce the cost Of brick max
ing in a considerable degree. Forced
draught is an important factor in the
system, and by it the heat from the
burner can be directed at a uniform
temperature toward any part of the
arch of the kiln. The oil runs in pipes
around the base of the kiln end feeds
directly from the burner in the arch in
the interior The forced draught feeds
in" with the oil, and by the turning Of
valve the heat can be regulated al any
point within the arch.
II is claimed that the use of oil is
much cheaper than that of either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost of
burning LOCO bricks with wood at five
dollars cord is so cents; the cost where
coal is used is 50 cents: with oil the cost
is 3S cents. In burning bricks with wood
y men are required every d hours: if
oil is used two men can DO the work.
The new method is quicker, completing
the burning of the Kiln in six DAYS. in
stead Of seven or eight. as formerly. and
the bricks are better, because with the

While strolling along the shores of
the Delaware bay near Fishing creek
i've years ago, says the Philadelphia
Record, Miss Beulah Bate and three
young women companions wrote their
names and addresses on four slips of
paper, sealed them in as many bottles
and cast them far out into the bay. For
days and weeks they watched and
waited for tidings of the bottles, but
none came, and they had almost forgot
ten the incident. \ day or two ago Miss
Bate received long letter from the cap
tain of an English man-of-war stating
that while cOasting along the coast of
England one Of the seameu fell over
board and narrowly escaped being de-
voured by a huge shark. After haul
ing the man aboard the sailors secured
the shark and found in its stomach the
bottle containing Miss Bates message.
Miss Bate is now student al the state
normal school at Trenton and has be
come quite a heroine among the more
romantic of her classmates.
