esting fact that the human body emits
rays which act on a sensitive photo
graphic plate. There is distinct diff
ference in the property of these rays
certain opaque substances, while to 9TH
ers they impart their vibration, and
these substances in this condition then
act on the Photographic plate. Before
giving description of my experiments
/ will mention that it seems that not all
persons emit rays Of the same chemical
energy. Some persons whom tried pro-
duced a strong while others only faint
impression on the film and others even
none at all. But 1t may be that, had 1
tried these same persons the next day,
the result would have been an entirely
different one, because 1 made the obser-
walton on myself that at different times
there was much difference in the chemi-
cal energy of the rays emitted by my
fingers. What causes these differences
do not know, but these rays being pro-
duced by the functions Of our organic
system, it is not improbable that these
differences occur in connection with the
regularity and irregularity of these
functions. However, my experience in
this direction is too limited to justify
the expression of positive opinion.

FASHION NOTES.


Such lot of pretty hats are shown
now that the native milliners are giving
reign to their fancy. Wash goods are
being used lot, and a dainty, cool
looking hat is made by wrapping the
soft folds of an Indian silk scarf in tur-
ban fashion over a wire frame. The
fringed ends of the scarf are knotted
at one side of the front, and the fringe
of one end falls onto the hair. A pair
of lightly set black mercury wings rests
on the top Of the hat at the front. The
effect is charming, as is the appearance
it should be said, of a large majority of
hats that are black or black trimmed
All that one can say or imagine about
black looking hot in summer is set at
naught by sight of this headgear

If the trusts don't like New Jersey it
isn't New Jerseys fault She does we'll
| by them. Not long ago, it will be re-
| membered, the New Jersey Supreme
court upheld as legal and enforceable at
law an agreement of quarry owners to
do all their selling through a common
agent as a means of exercising effective
control over prices. Now the Court Of
Errors and Appeals of that State has
rendered a decision even better calcu-
lated to favor the growth and mainte-
nance of trusts The Trenton potteres,
known as the sanitary ware trust,
sought to have Richard c. Oliphant and
others restrained from operating an OPP
position plant. The ELEPHANTS had sold
their original plant to the Trenton Pot
teries company and had entered into an
agreement not to engage again In the
pottery business for long term of years
Of Arizona and Nevada. According to
court precedents for several hundred
years, such a contract is not enforceable
at law. The case was so decided by
Vice-C Chancellor Grey, who held that the
agreement was in restraint of trade and
against public policy, and therefore IL
legal. Upon appeal, however, the de-
cision of the lower court was reversed.
The higher court sought to defend it's &C.
ton by citing a law of the State author
izing one corporation to purchase and
hold stock of other corporations "Un-
der such powers" says the court, sit is
obvious that a corporation may pur-
chase the plant and business of Compel |
ing individuals and concerns And |
contracts reasonably required to make
such purchases effective by protecting |
the purchaser in the use and enjoyment |
of the thing purchased cannot be de- |
clared by the courts to be repugnant to
public policy

when planned tasteful1y, for it is quite
as pretty as anything current.
| Another typical employment of wash
goods in millinery was in a pique hat
made after the sailor model 1t was
| trimmed with double pleating Of white
| lawn edged with embroidery This
pleating extended well above the crown
of the hat and out over the brim; in
deed the foundation Of pique hardly
showed A scarf of daintily fresh lawn
was bound about the hat at the join
ing of the two frils. The scarf ends
drew down the brim at the back and
were tied under the chin These scarfs
are worn a great deal by young women
and frame fresh faces in the prettiest
possible way.
One noticeable characteristic of this
years nat that is planned ~ match
some one gown is that it doesn't match
so closely that it cannot be used safely
with other dresses This is speaking
generally, for, of course, there are ex
travagant dressers who indulge this
summer, as usual, in hats that lie in
their boxes except when the especial
dresses are worn The hat shown here
is a type of the more general and SEN
sible sort 1t was blue straw trimmed
with red roses foliage and narrow
black velvet loops. The dress for which
it was made was blue grenadine over
red silk, with trimming of red silk,
black cord and white lace medallions
While the hat matched it as closely as
was at all necessary, it still could be
worn with other gowns so was not to
be classed as extravagant planning.

IN INDICATION.

There are indications that it isn't go
ing to be quite as respectable to be d.
vorced and remarked as it has been. One
of the indications has appeared in Ann
Arbor, Michigan. Last Friday evening
two persons applied to Methodist min
lister there to be married. On looking
over the license he ascertained that the
woman was a divorce. Thereupon he
refused to perform the ceremony. The
disappointed couple then applied to a
Baptist minister, and he also refused to
make them one. This led to an inquiry,
which disclosed that the Methodist, Bap-
fist, Congrega tional, Presbyterian,
Church of Christ and Trinity Lutheran
clergymen of Ann Arbor had held pri-
vate meeting and decided not to per-
form the marriage ceremony where
either of the parties had been granted a
divorce for any other than scriptural
reasons. In the case of strangers who
are divorces they will fatty refuse to
them.
There is likely to be more such &C

has been much speculated upon. Some
color has been given to the theory that
it represented st. Neot by the fact that
spiritual adviser and to be much vener-
ated by him, and that he continually
looked to him for guidance and protec-
ton. Some have thought that it was
intended to represent st. Cuthbert, and
others our Saviour, though there seems
no warrant for this latter suggestion In

Looked at in the light of Captain
watkins statement, published yester-
day, what peculiarly dsquieting "ac-
cident' the accident to the Paris is.
Said Captain Watkins: Il regret to say
that the casualty was owing to an un-
accountable error on my part. 1t is
about 131 miles from Cape La Hogue to
the Lizard, and the run between these
points would, l calculated, occupy six
hours and fifty-four minutes. Unfortu-.
nately I reckoned the time on this basis
for coming up with the Lizard from 1885
D. M when abeam of the Casquets in
stead of 6:3S p. m. when abeam Of Cape
La Hogue, and the vessel was thus real
ly eighteen miles ahead of the position
was acting upon Unaccountable
error indeed. unless the Captain was
insane or drunk, and nobody has said
he was either. Such errors should be
made impossible hereafter. If the cap
tain of an ocean steamer can unac-
countably drop from or add an hour to
his reckoning some other officer ought
to be in a position to notice it and at
least argue the matter with him. Such
tricks of the mind are toe dangerous.

In an address before the women's law
class of the New York university, Miss
Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr, adj
yocated the study of law for women,
not so much as preparation for pro-
fession as for learning the important
art of thinking. For Miss Thomas con-
fessed, the high schools and academies
of the country fail most lamentably in
this direction. The students "have
some facility of working out original
geometrical and algebraical problems
a facility which ought to show reason
ing power, but which, by some strange
fatality, that pursues our secondary ed
ucation, seems to remain in an inside
pocket of the mind, quite unavailable
for daily use; they have read a few
great English masterpieces, unwilingly
1t would seem, because with such su-
preme inarticuate result that they can
scarcely put pencil to paper to repro
duce even in the faintest day the i'm

might have been expected to move
them profoundly"

Five tons of dynamite were exploded
on the summit Of Big Bull mountain, a
mile from Victoria, Colorado, and 10000
feet above the sea, on the Fourth, with
the idea of furnishing good imitation

sulting disturbance was very like the
real thing. No one was hurt, but the
town was pretty well shaken up and the
shock was felt as far away as eighty
miles.

That curious instrument, the eophone,
designed to prevent collision at sea, has
been adopted by the United States gov
eminent and is likely to be introduced
generally. The instrument consists of a
vane, shaped like a block of steel rail,
on the pilot house of a vessel, which is
connected with dial wheel in the cabin
by brass rod. The operator places re-
ceivers not unlike those used on tele-
phone to the ears. When, during fog,
a ship whistle is heard or a reef whs-
tie, the vane catches the sound on the
side upon which it occurs, transmits it
through the tunnels to the receivers, and
the operators, by turning the dial until
the maximum sound is reached, can de-
termine to the fraction of point where
the ship or reef is. The instrument
never fails in accuracy.

A new convict lease system in Geor-
gia which some months ago supplanted
the Anticipated method of disposing of
convicts, seems to be operating success
fully The first quarterly report of the
new prison commission has just been
filed and show that $4,000 gross
profits come to the State. This makes
a total of 100000 per annum, as against
$685. 900 formerly gained from the irregu-
lar lease of the convicts. Under the
old regime complaints were frequent,
and more than one scandal arose out of
the inhun1an treatment of the convicts.
The new system of State supervision
has worked wonders and gained the
appreciation Of those who at first oppos-
ed it as unwise and expensive.
