The Force OF n Cannon Ball.

Some of the tremendous power of
our largest guns can be gathered from
this clear illustration, given by The
American Machinist
Think of locomotive engine weigh
ing one hundred thousand mounds
This is fifty tons. Now. if the loco
motive were moving at the rate of 40
miles an hour its energy would be
scarcely more than one thirteenth that
of the cannon ball.
In other words. if thirteen locomo-
tiyes were to smash up against stone
wall all at once, the blow which they
would deliver would be no more severe
than that Of one shot from the thir-
teen.inch gun, assuming that the muz-
zle of the latter was placed only few
inches from the same wall.
Inasmuch as the projcctilc would
be small it would concentrate its ac-
ton an one spot, and &c moro harm,
apparently, than the thirteen engines.
But the amount Of energy would be
the same.

BETRAYED by tho Telephone.

Young Prosser was unsophisticated
md childlike, and had come from the
country to take clerkship in a city
office.
Not long after his arrival a tele-
phone was fitted at the place, and this
be was expected to work. Els first
experience with it was very un-
pleasant. On hearing the call of the
bell, he put up the receiver to his
ear, and distinctly heard his en-
ployer's voice ask for certain informa-
tion.
Now, Prosser in his simplicity
though that, as his employer was two
miles away, it would be necessary to
shout with all his might, SO he thun-
dered his message back. But to his
chagrin, back came the answer:
81 don't understand you at ALL"
Prosser yelled again and again, but
with no better result. Then a solu-
ton of the difficulty occurred to him,
and he softly soliloquized:
'I wonder if the old idiot is deaf. "
His blood ran cold as he heard the
sound of his governors voice in re-
sponse:
"No, Prosser, the old idiot is not
deaf, and gives you. amonth'snotice. "

An Effective Ne:ligee Garment.

The dainty morning jacket of pink
figured diality, shown in the large
engraving, by May Manton, is prettily
trimmed with valenciennes lace and
insertion, the girdle of pink satin
ribbon confning the fulness at the
waist being gracefully tied in front.
The use of the body lining is op-
tional and the closing may be made at
the centre front OF at the left under
the lapels of the collar, as preferred.
The seamless back fits smoothly
across the shoulders, the fulness ut
the waist line being shirred in double
rows. Under-arm cores join the
back and fronts, which give smooth
adjustment over the hips.
The fronts are shaped with slightly
low square neck, pretty fulness being
laid in five small forward turning
plaits each side of center. A band of
insertion with frill of narrow edging
finishes the neck.
An effective feature is the sailor
collar that forms pointed lapels on the
fronts. The collar is edged with Il
deep frill of lace headed by band of
insertion. the wrists of the one

some trimming, the crush belt OF
satin ribbon closing with clasp in
centre back.
The waist is arranged over fitted
Innings that close in centre back. The
fronts are faced with the silk to form
the yoke and plastron to the waist, the
backs being faced at the top in square
yoke outline. The over-fronts and
backs are shaped in stylish points at
the top, forming a continuous curved
line with the shaping on the upper
edge of sleeves, all of which is out
lined with embroidered applique in
sertion.
Pretty pufs stand out from the
tops of sleeves, the wrists being neatly
banded with the trimming.
The skirt has o narrow front gore
which extends around the lower edge
in a circular founce, measuring four
yards at the lower edge. The founce

in the present instance is joined to the
near-silk lining that is shaped exactly
the same as the upper or circular por-
tion of skirt. The circular portion Of
the cloth is unlined and has full
inch allowed for hem on the edge,
which is turned under, stitched and
pressed before the trimming is ap-
piled.
After the edges are completed, it is
draped over the skirt in tunic style
and included in the belt, the front
edges being tackled atintervals to hold
them in place.
The placket may be finished in CEN
tre back or at the seam under the left
side front.
Topaz buttons are applied on the
plaits that adjust the fulness and
meet over the seam in centre back,
the top of the skirt displaying the
close adjustment now fashionable.
Handsome combinations of contrast
ing materials are suggested by the
mode, which affords just those oppor-
tunities in remodeliha that are so
necessary this season.
To make this waist for O miss of
fourteen years will require one yard
of material forty-four inches wide, and
one yard twenty-five inches wide. To
make circular portion of the skirt for
q miss of fourteen years will require
one and three-fourth yards of forty-four
inch material and four yards of twen-
ty-two-inch material for hounce.
