HOMEMADE MIRoIR VELVET.
old Mate rails and Glazing ColoPl
J. May De Quickly and Easily
q Transformed.

"Miroir velvet is as popular as ever"
remarked fashionable milliner, who
is as noted for her amiability as for the
style of her hats and bonnets. And it
is not always easy to get good assort-
ment of colors, even in large shops
It is as well, then, for one to know how
to make it herself.
1.-THE velvet is laid on smooth press
ing board, which is not too thickIy
padded. A large hot iron should be
passed quickly over it. The iron must
be slid rather than pressed, but using
full weight all the time. Never remove
the iron until it has passed from edge
to edge of the velvet, and always start
at the edge, even If it causes you to 60
over the same part twice; and always
press the right way of the velvet. Ev-
cry woman understands the up and
down of cloth and velvet, and you
must press down the direction of the
pile, and always follow the straight
thread of the velvet. When pressing a
bias piece. the iron must always &c
slanting edge to edge, whereas if it i.
straight you press in straight line.
I'm the factories where miroir velvet
is made they use large rollers the width
OF the velvet, which prevents iron
marks. When doing it at home you have
the disadvantage of the small iron to
guard against. but by practicing on
scraps you will soon become expert, and
find 1t is great addition to your posi-
bilities OF using old materials and
shades that are too glaring. Take a
sample ct velvet that is apparently not
a match or seems too harsh in color: it
will be completely transformed by
mirroring. 1t viii change faded color.

TO STUDY ARCTIC CURRENTS
gfrOn3 Oaken Casks to he Employed
by Enxlish SciaAtists for
That PafI6se.

A British geographical society Is
hbout to make departure in investi-
eating the poles. Some years ago Capt.
George Melnoote, the lannon's ,explor-
er, was wrecked on an.ice foe some
where in the Arctic sea. His ship fell
to pieces under the pounding Of the bils
lows, but he and the crew escaped in a
boat. The fragments of his craft were
never found, yet on pulling away a
strong current toward the pole was
encountered. This set the explorer to
thinking. If the pieces of his ship
were carried off into the unknown seas,
why might human agencies be not?
So far the only reason for sending
out expeditions northward has been
mainly for the purpose of observing a
daily record of events, such as latitude,
longitude, soundings, daily drift, find
ing the Arctic oceans bottom where
possible, and so forth, with the posi-
bility of discovering the north pole
A far-seeing geographer asks: why
undergo this human risk when it can
be obviated with the use of oak casks? %
It is never too late to adopt good idea,
and SO, acting on the suggestion, the So
ciety in question is about to set afioat
100 specially made casks i on, arctic
waters. These casks are to be made
on the principle Of . spindle, conical
shaped at each end, Of 20 gallons ca
pacity and iron hoped. They are to
be set afioat in Behring strait, and It is
thought that at the end of four or five
years they may be expected to turn up
at Spitzburgen and Greenland, during
which period they will have travelled
round the pole. Should present geo.
graphical deductions be correct, these
casks may demonstrate, the existence
of current far enough to. the north
and west to meet the polardrifts which
run southwark along the east coast of
Greenland. whence it turns to thelwest-
ward! thence to the southwark, where,
as part of the Labrador pack, it eventu-
ally finds its way into the Atlantic
ocean. You can trace this route in the
arctic regions on any good map of the
world.
So far as regards the stability of the
casks to stand the great strain they are
sure to be subjected to on their novel
voyage, they will be made of heavy oak
slaves ~ inches thick, bound round
with heavy iron hoops, three-sixteenths
of an inch thick and two inches wide.
Coated with solution of pitch and
resin,. the casks will be almost corro-
sive proof. They are to be placed on
the heavy foe pieces that they may
drift with the ice. Each cask is to con-
tain a number of records printed in the
principal languages of the world, these
requesting the finder of any one cask
to preserve the latter, but to send the
records to the photographic Office of
his own country, such Office in turn to
send to all other important countries
the other records found within the
cask, stating the latitude and longitude
where found.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
