FASHION AND FABRIC.

Black and white gowns for demidress
wea- are extremely popular.
Ths most popular of the new bustles are
light, pIiable and diminutive.
Gray gowns are greatly in evidence this
season, many wholly gray, but formed Of
a combination of two handsome fabrics
like repped silk and drap d'ete.
Changeable effects still appear among
silks, satins, velyets and fancy dress goods
in silk and wool mixtures, notwithstand-
ing their greatly extended lease of favor.
The novelty goods and French and Eng
lish suitings for women s wear this season
are in soft medium weights in pretty
blended colors, the result being very un-
certain shade.
The shepherdess hat is one of the new
shapes for the coming summer. 1t appears
In fine chips in various pretty colorings
and in fancy lace and zephyr braids and
milans in black.
Some very graceful and exceedingly
smart basque bodices are added to the new
spring costumes, many with open fronts
and white satin plastrons and revers trim
med with lines OF dne gold braid.
The skirts of all tailor gowns are plain
with exceptions now and then like stitched
straps trimmed with tailor buttons or
with deep hems turned up on the outside
and covered with rows of braid or silk
stitching.
The popular checked cheviots reappear
in very light, delicate shades of mignon
ette, green, blue, marye, old rose or fawn
in fifth of an inch squares, alternating
with white, and will be used for travel
ing, walking and cycling dresses.
Some of the more expensive woolen dress
fabrics just brought to view are SO woven
that an effect is given Of surface alter
nately plain and corded, the heavy reps
looking like tiny tuck taken in the cloth
as narrow as it could be stitched, although
no stitching is shown.
Natty little eton jackets still appear as
portions of the gown on newly imported
models, those in velvet, cloth, drap q cite,
repped silk, etc, to be worn with skirt
to MATCH and a shirt waist of roman
striped taffetas, silk dotted liberty satin,
tartans of brilliant coloring in grosgrain
and satin weaves or of plain shot surah.-

Color Photography.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Photographic society in London Profess
or Gabriel Lippman described his sys-
tenn of color photography, whereby
photograph showing the colors of nature
is obtained by direct process and with
one exposure of the plate The film,
which might be of any sensitive sub
stance. he explained, was exposed, de-
veloped and fixed in the usual way.
Two conditions, however, must be OBJ
served-the film must in the first place
be transparent and grainless and in the
second it must be in contact with me-
tallic mirror during exposure. The ef-
feet of the mirror, which was formed
by running a layer of mercury in be-
hind the plate, was to reflect back the
incident colored rays and thus make the
incident light waves stationary. These
stationary vibrations, falling in the in
terror of the sensitive film, impressed
their own structure upon it, and by vir-
tue of the structure thus impaired to it
the brown deposit of silver, when viewed
by reflected white light, appeared clothed
with the same colors as were possessed
by the image in the camera. The colors
were produced by interference" in the
same way as those Of the soap bubble
or mother Of pearl. That this was their
cause, M. Lippman said, was proved
by the fact that the tints of a negative
changed if 1T were damped in conse-
Quence of the gelatin swelling slightly
and thus altering the structure of the
silver deposit. The colors produced by
this process were true and bright pro-
vided that exposure and development
had been properly conducted. They
were. moreover, completely fixed and
resisted the action of light and time.
He had not yet succeeded in taking
prints from his negatives but was con-
vineed that to do SO would be found
| possible.

ias principally obtained from divers,
did not enable the court to form def
mite conclusion as to the condition of
the wreck, although it was established
that the after part of the ship was
practically intact and sank in that
condition a very few minutes after the
destruction of the forward part.
The following facts in regard to the
forward part of the ship are, however,
established by the testimony.
That portion of the port side of the
protective deck which extends from
about frame 30 to about frame Al was
blown up aft, and over to port. The
main deck from about frame 30 to
about frame Al was blown up aft. and
slightly over to starboard, folding the
forward part of the middle superstruc-
ture over and on top of the after part.
This was, in the opinion of the court.
caused by the partial explosion of two
or more of the forward magazines of
the Maine.
s. At frame II the outer shell Of the
ship from a point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line of the ship
and six feet above the keel when in it's
normal position has been forced up so
as to be now about four feet above the
surface of the water; therefore, about
"a feet above where it would be had the
ship sank uninjured. The outside bot
tom plating is bent into a reversed v
shape. the after wing of which. about
15 feet broad and 80 feet in length
(from frame II to frame 25), is doubled
back upon itself against the continual
ton of the same plating extending for
ward.
At frame Is the vertical keel is
broken in two, and the fiat keel bent
into an angle similar to the angle
formed by the outside bottom plating
This break is now about six feet be-
low the surface of the water, and
about 80 feet above its normal posi-
tion.
In the opinion of the court this eff
feet could have been produced only by
the explosion of mine situated under
the bottom of the ship at about frame
18, and somewhat on the port side of
the ship.
6. The court finds that the loss Of the
Maine, on the occasion named. was
not in any respect due to fault or
negligence on the part of any of the
officers or members of the crew of said
vessel.
Z. In the opinion of the court the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion
of submarine mine, which caused the
partial explosion of two of her forward
magazines.
8. The court has been unable to OBJ
tain evidence fixing the responsibility
for the destruction of the Maine upon
any person or persons.

gave out. The physicians told us 1t was
paralysis, which sometimes follows an at
tack of diphtheria. We did everything
for him, but he grew worse until he was in
a pitiful condition. He suffered terribly
at night and complained continually OF
his head, and in what little sleep he was
able to get, moaned increasingly. He lost
all control of the muscles of his body and
limbs. He had no appetite and complained
of feeling sick at his stomach all the time.
After we had tried many different reme-
dies and had about given up all hope,
we commenced giving him Hoods Sarsa-

plain, his appetite improved and at the
end of three months he was able to attend
school part of the time. Now he is well
and quite strong and rugged boy. You
