Wichita, Saturday. Oct. 81. Chas.
Hoyt has written more successful CON-

universally adjudged his browning eff

which was not intended to hold up to

comedy he is seen at his best. Dia-
logue brilliant in the extreme. filed
with bits of satire that are not whit

of their sting: characters that grow
while you watch the development OF
the story. and situations so natural and
ably conceived that they seem the only

some of the qualities that have made
"a Texas Steer so famous. When it is
added that the presenting company is

success of it's present season can easily

LAcEs AND THEIR HISTORY.
Beautiful and Everlasting valeoeaoa-

Point lace Is so-called from itsi
gauzelike battle-ground, composed Of
very fine, round meshes, with needle
made flowers, made simultaneously
with the ground, by means of the
same thread as in the old Brussels,
says the Home Needlework Magazine.
1t was made in small pieces. the join
ing concealed by sprigs or leaves like
the old point, the same lace-worker
making the whole strip from begin
ming to end. Point gauze is now
brought to the highest perfection. and
is remarkable for the precision of the
work, the variety and richness of the
jours, and the clearness of the ground.
1t somewhat resembles Point d'Alen-
con, but the work is less elaborate and
less solid Alencon lace, it is said,
could not compete with Brussels in its
designs, which are not copied from
nature, while the roses and honey
suckles of the Brussels lace are worthy
Of Dutch painter. Lacemaking was
at one time the chief source of ma
tional wealth in Belgium. It formed
a part Of female education, and In
1876 one-fortieth of the entire popu-
lation of 10000 women were said to
be engaged upon it. But some of the
pillow laces, as well as those of the
needle, have had immense popular,
ity. This kind of lace was first made,
in the city of Valenciennes, and the
manufacture reached its height in that
town about 1880. when there were
some 1000 lacemakers employed upon
it; but fashion changed, lighter lacesj
came into vogue. and in 1870 the
lace-workers had diminished to $50.
Napoleon made an unsuccessful at-i
tempt to revive the manufacture, and
in 1851 only two lacemakers remained, !!
and they were over 80 years old. At.
one time this manufacture was so Pc
culiar to the place that it was said:
If a piece of lace were begun at Va
lenciennes and finished outside the;
walls, the part not made at Valenci-.
ennes would be visibly less beautiful
and less perfect than the other, though
done by the same lacemaker with the
same thread and pillow" The city.
made lace was remarkable for its
richness of design, evenness and solid
ity. 1t was known as the beautiful.
and everlasting Valenciennes," and
was beQueathed from mothers to
daughters like jewels and furs. 1t was
made by young girls in underground
rooms, and many of these workers
are said to have become almost blind
before they were 80 years of age. When .
the whole piece was done by the same
hand the lace was thought much more
valuable. Valenciennes lace was made
in other towns of the province, but
''vraie Valenciennes" only at Valen- !
ciennes. The Lille makers, for in

while those of Valenciennes would !
make not more than an inch and one

lace. Modern Valenriennes is far in :
ferior in quality to that made in 1880. !

Wide currency having been given to
the statement that liquid air promises
to do the work of coal at next to no
cost. because an experimenter claims
to have produced "ten gallons of liquid
air by the use of three gallons in an

Stevens Institute has pointed out the
fallacy of the claim. He shows that it
really takes twelve times as much pow

that gallon could develop in an ideally
