READING SEALED LETTERS

A German Scientist Shows How This May
BE Accomplished.
1t is not generally known that sealed
letters may in many cases be read with
out opening the envelopes or doing them
the least injury. 1t was discovered by a
German Psychologist by the use Of an
embryoscope, or egg glass, that the
shells of eggs were Of very unequal
thickness.
It occurred to him to make expert
ments in order to ascertain how many
leaves Of ordinary letter or official pa
per must be laid above and below a
written leaf in order to make it illegible
to a highly sensitive eye in the direct
sunlight. He found that after he had
rested his eye in a dark room for 10 or
10 minutes he cold read piece of writ
ing over the mirror of the embryoscope
that had been covered with eight layers
Of paper.
He called in other observers to con-
firm this The letters, however, that
could thus be deciphered were written
in dark ink ON one side Of the paper
Ouly. IL lOuI WIlttcu slucS WoI0 4O1ucO
together, and especially if there had
been crossing, 1t was hard to make out
the drift of the. writing. and there are
some kinds of writing which, when
folded twice or thrice, admit too little
light for the purpose Of decipherment.
In this way possibly many of the per-
formances Of "clairvoyants" may be ex-
planned. By means of the egg glass it
is, as a rule, easier to make out the con-
tents of letter or telegram without the
slightest tampering with the envelope
than it is to detect the movements Of
the embryo in the egg.
Suppose the writer Of q billet, the
contents of which are known only to
himself, let's it out of his hand and loses
sight of it for five minutes. It may be
readily carried either into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
light and be read by the aid Of the egg
glass The placing Of piece Of car
fridge paper in the envelope or the col
oring of it black is means Of defense
at hand.

GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.
Not In Richmond. but In Charlotte,
Where He Lived.

Not In Richmond. but In Charlotte,
Where He Lived.
Every now and then we SEQ in some
newspaper the query, Where is Pat
rick Henry buried?" and tourists in
Richmond constantly ask to be shown
his grave, with the mistaken idea that
it is i'll that city, where much of his
public career was passed. Few people
comparatively know that the man who
acquired the title of 1.-The Tongue Of
the Revolution" lies in quiet grave
ON the estate in Charlotte county where
he formerly lived. Over it is marble
slab inscribed with one line, His fame
his best epitaph.
The estate lies on Staunton river, 3S
miles from the town of Lynchburg, near
the border line which separates Char
lotte and Campbell counties 1t derived
its name Of Red Hill from the peculiar
color of the soil in that vicinity. When
Patrick Henry bought the place, it COM
prised about 3, 800 acres. The land is
rich-there was a saying In the neigh
borhood that poor land and Henry could
never be mentioned together-corn
grows there as high as a man on horse
back; there is general air Of smiling
fields and abundant prosperity. It's sit
uation in early times was very remote.
Neighbors were few, one of the nearest
being the celebrated John Randolph Of
Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soli-
tude | 8 miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, William Writ Henry, q
clever, cultivated gentleman of the
"old school" He has in his possession
some most interesting relics of his cele-
brated grandfather, including the desk
he always used, which still contains his
letters from Lafayette. Washington,
Madison and other great men of early
days; the large, round backed chair in
which Patrick Henry died and portrait
of him by the elder Sully, under which
hangs yellowed slip of paper, signed
by Chief Justice John Marshall and
several others of his friends, testifying
to the faithfulness of the likeness. -

White stockings, it is said. are the
really correct thing not only with the
"all white costume. but with light
summer dresses of every description,
and black stockings must be relegated
to wear with tailor made gowns and
sporting dress
1t is not the white shoe, which was
one of last season fads, that accom-
panies this summers white gown. On
the contrary, neat patent leather or
bronze kid tie is found to give just the
effective little finishing touch that pre-
vents monotony in the costume.
The ginghams of the present when
made up with lace and ribbon garniture
hardly respond to the idea which "a
gingham Dress would call up not many

The Tragedies of Peace.

Peace hath her tragedies no less than war.
Grim war is but the normal state of men
In this rude world, where he who cannot fight
Must yield to him who can. The elements,
The passions and the lust of victory
Ger barren fields, Ger treach'rous waves
and all
That bar mans road to better things impel
To conflict. He who fights must lay aside
The tender luxuries of life that sap
Virility. With manhood's strength begirt
He conquers first himself and then delights
In lesser strife that overcomes the foe.
The tragedies of war in bloody death
May end, but not in shame. The tragedies
OF peace in degradation worse than death
Find contamination. Decadence comes
When peace effeminate laps all her sons
In wantonness of wealth. So fell great Rome,
Once mistress of the world, when circuses
And boundless luxury filled every heart
And warlike spirit fled. And so hath Spain
Forgot her Cid and in her brutal fights
With harmless bulls and in her lust for gold
Become more cruel than the grave and lost
Her manhood. Not nation of the earth
Hath sunk SO far beneath contempt.
0 war, we hail thy horror and thy woe
II they shall breed again the sturdy strength
or simple manliness that made the world
In homage bow to Washington and them
Who. spite Of po verify and raging kings,
To mankind gave the first true liberty

Beyond the purple. hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries,
Beyond the sands. beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies a land long lost to me,
The land of Used to Bel
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody
Oh, such land, with such a sea
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used to Be-
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even in the low of herds
meaning lives so sweet to me
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed over with the glee
OF rare old Used to Be-
Lost laughter and the whistled tunes
or boyhood's mouth of crescent runes,
That rounded through long afternoons
To serenading plenilunes,
When starlight fell SO mistily
That, peering up from Bonded knee,
dreamed twas bridal drapery
Showed over Used to Bel
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts
And shining fields and shady spots
or coolest, greenest grassy plots,
Embossed with wild forgetmenots,
And all ye blooms that longingly
Lift your fair faces up to me
Out Of the past, kiss in ye
The lips Of Used to Bel

Thought.

Thought is deeper than all speech.
Feeling deeper than all thought.
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught,
We are spirits clad in wells.
Man by man was never seen.
All our deep communing fails
To remove the shadowy screen.
Heart to heart was never known.
Mind to mind did never meet.
We are columns left alone
OF a temple once complete.
Like the stars that gem the sky,
Far apart, though seeming near,
In our light we scattered lie.
All is thus but starlight here.
What is social company
But babbling summer stream2
What our wise philosophy
But the glancing Of a dream2
Only when the sun of love
Melts the scattered stars of thought,
Only when we live above
What the dim eyed world hath taught,
Only when our souls are fed
By the font that gave them birth
And by inspiration led
Which they never drew from earth,
We, like parted drops of rain,
Swelling till they meet and run,
Shall be all absorbed again,
Melting. flowing, into one.

FASHIONABLE BATHING SUIT.
ally matches the broad collar, which IL
often a contrast. For example, ON a
blue gown it may be white or red; on
white, blue or red, trimmed with white
braid. Very elegant bathing suits are
made Of black satin, with corded tucks
running up, apron fashion, on the skirt,
after the prevailing mode in street
dress, and corded around the bodice to
form yoke.
Some of the most fetching costumes
are cut moderately low in the neck and
made with the simple blouse. finished
around the edge with braid. Flannel
and mohair suits are also made in this
way, which many women with pretty
shoulders prefer, as it does away with
the extra thickness of the collar. In ad-
dition to the foregoing illustration and
descriptions of bathing dress, the New
York Sun affords the interesting infor-
nation that pliable corsets of flannel
stiffened with featherbone are part of
the outfit, which improves the figure
very much. and these are usually at
tached to the knickerbockers.
Bathing tights also in all colors are
the welcome substitute for stockings,
and if you want to be very elegant you
should wear long Isle thread gloves
which are made exclusively for bathers.
Stockings or tights in very bright col
ors are to be worn with black and white
suits If rumor is correct
