that 1t cannot move in a gale. A hat just turned out as a protest of slumpi- ness is a panama straw in big mesh and of sailor shape. A scarf of rose taffeta is drawn tight about it in folds and tied in front in a great spreading bow that is all pointy ends and that ishable. It is wired immovably The close drawn scarf seems to push up a fold of black silk velvet well above the crown, over which it bulges carelessly, higher at the neck and narrowing be- hind the bow. The back of the hat is lifted to give the proper tilt by two punches of white violets with plenty of the finest natural leaves. Such hat can be worn with q tailor shirt waist or dress, is all right for an organdie, it will serve for driving or walking, for city or country and will be as pretty in the fall as now. It makes a hat all squashy with rolls of tulle look doWdy.
 Another worthy substitute for the roll hat is presented by the artist, It was in fancy white straw It's straight bflm was turned up in back and held by punches of small purple flowers. A large spray of the same flowers lay across the front of the brim, and heighth was gained in back by a fluffy arrangement of white silk null On the right side several loops of violet ribbon held three curled coque plumes in place.
 At the children's counter sunbonnets are shown for grown folk. These are not so big as the newer fanctful sorts of shade hats and they are more con- ventional in design, but they are very pretty, Of course your tan will come more slowly if you tuck yourself away into a sunbonnet, but, on the other hand, the protection is certainly good for the eyes; for his eyes, too.

4 UTOM0BILE YEHTCLEs.

The Automobile club of France is do- ing useful work. Its recent trial of self -propelling vehicles was thorough one and extended over several days. On the first day the carriages were given preliminary tests to determine their brake power, speed, facility for reversing and their ability to climb hills. A test of the brakes was made while the vehicles were running at full and it was found that they could be brought to a stop in about fourteen yards. Subsequently the cars were sent out on three routes of thirty-seven miles each, in which was included every possible variety of road. On the first day of these road tests some trouble was caused by the inexperience of the drivers and the exhaustion of the accu- mulators, but after this all ran without accident and with great regularity, with an average speed of from thirteen to fifteen kilometres per hour (eight to ten miles approximately. The petro- leum motor seems to answer for private vehicles for use in the rural districts, but it's odor is thought to work against it's general use in large cities. It is interesting to note that the carriage with this motor finished the distance in less time than any of it's competitors. Another point noticed at these tests was that in descending hills the motor of the electric vehicles served to re- charge the accumulators, and while the gain was small, nevertheless it became an item worthy of consideration. The trials up to their present state appar- ently indicate that the deficiencies in this form of carriages are for the most part in their mechanical design, which additional experiments and ingenuity will surely remedy, but that enough has

SiHOKELESS POWDER.

Spain is a very belated country, but it will do no harm now to admit that ill at least one matter she is far ahead of this Wide-awake, progressive, up-to- date Yankee nation. She has been us- ing smokeless powder in the fight around Santiago, and her use of it has made the Yankees @ lot of trouble. It is very galling to be shot at and per- haps hit without being able to see where the shot comes from. In one of their intrenchments the ingenious Spaniards put their hats on sticks for the Yankees to shoot at, and then shot at the Yankees from another spot, and it took some time to locate them be- cause no smoke could be seen. The Yankees managed to hit many Span iards, but there is no doubt that the smokeless powder was a great protec- ton to the swarthy little men.
 It is probably too late for the United States to do much with smokeless pow der in this war, but in the next time of peace one of the preparations for the next war should be an adequate sup ply of smokeless powder.

OUR GREAT NAVY.

If there breathes in this country man with soul so dead that he hasn't said to himself and others that we have a great navy he is a curiosity. Our navy is indeed great in spirit and eff ciency, and it is greater than some realize in actual material. The present war has worked wonders in the con- struction of all kinds of fighting craft The latest official register put the num- Der of ships at 295. We have Il ships of the first class, IS of the second class 43 of the third class and of the fourth class. We have under construction 35 torpedo boats, F tugs, sailing vessels, and 43 vessels of various kinds build ing and authorized. In the auxiliary navy there are 36e cruisers and yachts, 32 steamers and colliers, 25 tugs and va- rious other ships. Some of these ships will, of course, be returned to commer- cia1 uses when the present war shall have ended, but the permanent addi,. tions to the navy are so great as to in, sure very different standing in the future.
 It may be that this country will not ambitiously aspire to rule the wave in the future, but it will aspire to be able to take care of itself on the wave. It seems to be doing fairly we'll in that direction now.

4 GRAND SURPRISE.

This is world of surprises. The rather lotting upon celebrating the fall of Santiago yesterday, but they went to bed night before last somewhat de- pressed in spirits and quite uncertain about the Santiago affair. They walked up yesterday morning and with aston ished eyes read that Admiral Cerveras s squadron had been destroyed and that General Shafter and his helpers on land felt better. Such a change from grave to gay in the affairs of nations doesn't often happen over night. The Fourth had it's extra reason for noise, and though Santiago hasn't yet fallen, it will fall to-day or soon thereafter.
 What grand achievements! One Spanish squadron destroyed without the loss of man by the United States and another destroyed with only one man killed! Was there ever anything like it, or will there ever again be any thing like it? It is almost paralyzing in it's magnitude and completeness, and must be quite paralyzing to Spain. And incidentally it may be remarked that even if it is wrong to remember the Maine, the Maine has been very thor oughly avenged by the brave compan- ions in arms of those who went to treacherous death with her.
