New Fad in Sealing Letters.

My lady has a new fad about her
papeterie which this time has nothing
to do with the size or shape of the en-
velope or the tint of the paper. When
she seals her letters now the up-to-
date girl no longer puts the seal in the
apex of the triangle made by the flap
of the envelope, but carefully sets it
about two inches to the left as the en-
velope lies addressed side down on her
writing table. Just what the reason
for this is or what the origin of it is
none of the fair ones who are following
the fad seems to be exactly sure. Its
SO novel, though" one of them ex-
planned, land the seal really looks much
more artistic Off to one side than plant
ed right in the center. Chicago Times

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Odd Items of Interest for Ladies Who
Follow the Latest
Fashions.

All bodices show lace or some light
decoration at the neck, the finest kind
of Alencon being as much in evidence
as Irish and guipure lace.
Jet plays an important part on all
evening gowns. 1t is immensely be-
coming and decorative and particular
ly effective when combined with white
tulle.
All costumes worn in the daytime are
of the strictest tailor-made order, fash
toned in the lightest colored cloths, and
stitched in straight line or scalloped
edge.
Little neck ruches and shoulder capes
are much in demand for evening use.
Some are made of chiffon in lavender
and rose pink, with accordion-plaited
double-neck ruff quite high at the neck.
Hats are more elaborate than ever,
either entirely made of flowers or tulle.
Those of embroidered mousseline, with
huge blossoms made of mousseline with
velvet petals, are pretty and much in
vogue.
A great run is predicted for corded
silks and poplins. In Paris they are
preparing dotted and chenille silks, the
groundwork in many instances darker
than the pattern covering it. There are
many silks mixed with velvet also.
There is a new canvas which is like
ly to find warm approval, being mix
ture of silk and wool, the former pre-
dominating. A dark navy blue had
been made up into a skirt and open bod
ice, which was filled in with an under
vest formed of fully gathered black
and white striped ribbon in marked
ice was of the jacket order, with tabs
at the waist. The sleeves were made
short to the elbow, with full sleeves
below of the striped silk ending in a
red cuff. The skirt was cut, as SO many
are, on the cross, with seam up the
center of the back.
The pompadour element is great
feature in spring fashions, and it re-
peated itself in the sleeves at the wrist.
There was jacket bodice, and great
deal of stitching figured on the seams,
and these close-set rows of stitching
will be marked novelty in coming
modes. 1t was exemplified in dress
of quite q new color, vivid turquoise
with a performance Of green in it, the
material tine-faced cloth. The tunic
here crossed at the side, and was edged
all round with three stitched bands of
lighter tone, each band being covered
with stitchings about half an inch
apart, while the petticoat was of the
lighter shade, entirely covered with
bands of the darker color, in close
set rows, also stitched all over. The
bodice was full, with white satin trim
mings covered with lace; it buttoned
over at one side with three square paste
buttons, and had epaulettes and cuff
trimmings of white satin, with silver
embroidery mingled.-N. Y. Times.

The suit against the stockholders of
the Minneapolis Exposition will go
down to court history as remarkable for
one feature. 1t is the first case in which
daily copy has been made in Henne-
pin county by the use Of the grapha-
phone. Other cases have been taken
partially, but since tine case has been on,
a daily copy has been ordered, and it
has been secured by the use OF the
grapllaphone. AS soon as the stenogra-
pher gets through taking his minutes
he talks them into the machine, and the
typewriter operator takes the words
from the machine, after the stenogra-
phcr has gone back to his court room
work. 1t requires very rapid type
writer operator to work the grapha-
phone, and secure what it gives. but
there is no trouble with those at the
court house. The copy made is said to
be as perfect as that taken in the old
way, by dctation.

DEWEY'S MISSING DISH.

When a warship goes out for target
practice it is the custom to place all
glass, chinaware and other fragile
articles in the hold of the ship-as
close down to the keel as possible-in
order to prevent breakage by the con-
cussion that follows the firing of the
guns. This led to an amusing incident
at Manila after the destruction of the
Spanish fleet. Life on board the Olym-
pia was gradually settling down to its
accustomed routine and dullness. when
one day at luncheon Commodore
Dewey asked his colored boy, Jim.
where some dish that he missed from
the table had gone. "I amt had no
chance to git it yit," was Jim's answer.
since l put in de hol' just befo' dat
target practice you had de udder day

! moved and each coin was touched sue
cessively with the wire from a positive
pole, the other wire being connected
with the tinfoil on the lower side. Per-
feet reproductions were obtained.
But this method, of course, differs al
together from that of producing dust
images. When the German scientist
Professor Reiss began experimenting
for the production of photographs he
laid coin upon a plate of glass and
charged it electrically for half an hour.
Upon removing the coin and sprinkling
the plate with dust an accurate engrav-
ing of coin was visible on the glass.
Professor McKays experiments of
producing magnetographs are also in
teresting in this connection. He OBJ
tanned photographs of different objects
in the dark by means of radiations
from the poles of an electro-magnet af-
ter two hours exposure but it need not
have been so long, as he obtained clear
images in five minutes in one expert
ment with frequent variations of a
current by means of a rheostat, and by
approach and recession OF the arma-
ture.
The elements involved in the expert
ment were arranged in the following
order: First, large inverted magnet
for supporting 100 pounds, the poles
hanging downward. Next in order was
a wooden board pressing fatwise
against the ends of the poles of the
magnet. Next, the objects and the
sensitive plates backed thereby and all
inclosed in a completely Opaque wrap
ping extending over the sides, face
back, ETC., of these two elements. Next
in order was an armature about as
heavy as the magnet would support.
Very accurate photographs of the diff
ferent objects were produced. The
photographs were not due to light, for
he tried the experiments in different
ways and with various precautions.
OF course the greater part of Profess
sor Thompson's work is devoted to the
X ray, but to the lay mind the above
phenomena give a curious insight into
the experimental work of the electrical
scientists of today.
