ART STORE
ITS RECENT PURCHASE BY l.. S.
AYRES AND co.
Of Great Interest to the Home Makers
of indianapolis. The sale of It's
Wealth of Art Goods Will
Probably he Delayed Sew
eral Days Yet. III

The purchase of this store by L. s.
Ayres 81 Co., which was recently men
toned in these columns, has put the la
dies Of Indianapolis on the qui vive.
Wards has long been recognized as a
store that only carried high-class goods,
and the probability of getting the many
choice bits of bric-a-brac and statuary
and the fine pictures, mirrors, holdings.
ETC., at the low prices promised has en-
listed their interest to the extreme. The
stock and fixtures have all been removed
to the third floor of L. s. 'Ayres & Co.'S
remodeled building, and a force working
both night and day is busy arranging and
remarking the wilderness of art novelties
which will be ready in a few days.

How They Are Designated

The Gainsborough is among the hand
soonest. Quite number in this style have
the popular Bayadere tucks. The Ameri-
can beauty is most elaborate of all.
Many are a mass of ruff1ed mousseline
in dainty colors. The Driveway and the
Tailor Maid are attractive in their SIM
plicity of design. The braided effect in
troduced in the Tailor Maid is quite new.
Other styles are numerous, and the manu-
facturers of the Princess of Wales UNI
brella have used it's popular handle in the
development of a new parasol by the
same name. Considering the elegance,
prices are very modest, 81 to $15 being
the limits.
Quite lot of tiny parasols for tiny
maids are shown at $1.0O, So and
80 so. They are beauties, too.

ChalIies and Jaxanaise

Considerable doubt was felt early in the
season as to the desirability of these
much talked-of fabrics. European fash
ion makers predicted an extensive use of
them, but their popularity in America
was not assured until the introduction of
ruffies, the Spanish fiounce and the Pac-
quin skirt. Now, dress goods counters
everywhere are strewn with them in all
the richness of many-shaded color COM
binations. Almost fifty new pieces were
added last week to Ayres's already large
collection. Prices remain the same, soc
a yard for French Chaln and SSc yard
for the Javanaise Judging by the pres
ent demand however, either the present
choice variety will soon be depleted or
customers will be asked to pay advanced
prices for later appropriations.

1T GENERATES HEAT.

The Incandescent Electric Lamp Not as
Safe Supposed.
The incandescent electric lamp Is essen
TALLY device which transforms electricity
partly into light, but mostly into heat.
As is well known, the carbon filament of
the lamp is "a substance offering great re-
sistance to the passage of the current, and
the product of this resistance is light and
heat. 1t is an instance of the translation
of one form of energy into another. 1t
may not, however, generally be known
that the light produced is but after all
only a small percentage of the energy
thus manifested-some or 8 per cent only
at the most.
This fact is very important, bearing in
mind very common notion that the cleo
trio incandescent lamp is free from the
heat rays. 1t is true that the lamp, when
working, is not comparable with fame
or naked light but at the same time the
heat evolved is such as may lead to igni-
ton We are disposed to emphasize this
point, because the incandescent electric
lamp is used for purposes Of illumination
and decoration in shops without any re-
gard to the possbility-nay, probability
of fancy goods being fired which happen
to be contiguous.
Indeed SO firm is the idea that the In
candescent electric lamp is free from heat
that it is frequently to be found buried in
mass of easily ignited and highly infiam-
mable material This is mistake, and
care should be exercised with the electric
lamp in its application in this connection.
But the risk of course is not so great as
where naked lights are employed. We
have found by experiment that on miners
ing a 16 candle power lamp Goo volts
pressure) in half a pint of water the water
boils within an hour and in proportionate-
ly less time when 80 candle power lamp
is substituted.
If, again, the lamp be buried in cotton
wool the wool soon begins to scorch and
ultimately to burst into fame. In one ex-
pertinent which we tried the bursting into
flame of the wool was accompanied by a
loud report, due to the explosion OF the
lamp. 1t clearly appears from this that
the incandcscent electric lamp cannot be
regarded as an unlikely means of starting
a serious fire, and shopkeepers, especially
those who exhibit highly indammable
fabrics, should know that there is risk in
placing such goods too close to lamp.
The lamp in contact with celluloid fires it
in less than five minutes, and therefore
the danger is particularly obvious in the
case of toyshops where electric incandes
cent lamps are often suspended in the
midst of toy celluloid balls.-London Lam

Artichokes do best in rich, loose SOIL

Tomatoes raised from seed vary from

perpetuate it with certainty is by cut

rramIin's system.

G. j. Hamlin has long believed in the
wisdom of placing his best bred and
most promising FLIES to breeding, and
he has yearly consigned some of his
greatest young mares to the breeding
ranks. Some of those mares have been
placed in training after raising a couple
of foals, and have raced very success
fully, Emily, 2:11, being an example.
From now on it is quite likely that
nearly all the FLIES raised at Village
Farm will, after being broken and par
TALLY developed in a speed way, be bred
before they are fitted for racing One
of the fastest young mares Geers had in
his stable last winter was The Abbess,
sister to The Abbot, 2:111a, but in ac-
cordance with his policy in this respect
Mr.. Hanlin had her sent back to the
farm this spring to be mated with Rex
Americas. After raising foal The Abb
bess will be placed in training, and will
then be raced to her limit before being
returned to the brood mare ranks. This
manner Of treating young mares GER
tainly insures their reaching their full
powers without sustaining any of the
injuries which baby campaigners are SO
liable to receive, and it is quite likely
to be adopted by other breeders when
they come to look for the reasons of the

breeds, and the intermediate downlands
have their types, as represented in the
Southdown, the Oxford Down and the
Hampshire Down. These types are
largely the result of environment. The
natural conditions of the country have
produced type Of sheep that are adapt

type of sheep would be mistake. So
will it be on the ranges some day. Mon

to uniformity would be mistake, and
the sooner that those types are fixed the

The Scotch black faced sheep is at
tracing considerable attention among
American 4ockmen in the mountain
districts. The character of the breed Ia
shown in the accompanying illustration
of ram owned by Charles Howatson
of Glenbuck, Scotland, which was
awarded the championship prize at the
recent exhibition of the Highland and
Agricultural society at Glasgow. This
breed of sheep is remarkably rugged
and able to endure the exposure and pri-
vations incident to mountain life. The
natural qualities of these sheep are such
as fit them for places where no other
sheep would thrive.
