sign. She is much cut away and allows of very little driving space, and ai- though she looks to be very big boat she has little, comparatively speaking, below the water line. Her measure ments are said to be: Length, 130 feet 6 inches; length on water line, Sg feet inches; beam, 24 feet; draught, 19 feet 8 inches, and she has q sail spread of over 13.000 square feet. The Colum- bia is six inches longer than Shamrock, over all, if the unofficial figures can be relied upon. In building the new de- fender yacht the Herreshofs had to solve the problem of saving all weight compatible with safety. The frame work, therefore, had to be of nickel steel, with d tensile strength of 10000 pounds. To compensate for the great weight below steel had to be used for the mast and spars. The mast is over TOT feet high and the boom, two feet longer, sweeps through m arc of more than 300 feet. The mainsaH, which is said to be the largest ever raised on q yacht, covers 7.475 square feet.
 Even since the British boat has been in salt water frantic efforts have been made by the curious to get close enough to gather some idea CT her striking pc euIiarities. But the skipper, assisted by his crew. together with the police that Sir Thomas pays for, have done their work welt. Shamrock will remain largely a metallic mystery until she hoists her sails on the yacht course to meet Columbia
 Those who care to go into the pre- dieting business might well say that it looks like another American victory. if the deep sea work of the new yachts is any criterion. Shamrock took her maiden spin in a light northwest breeze with the sea rather calm. She carried mainsaiI, small topsail, tip topsail, jib and staysail, and the conditions were supposed to be just what Fife would have desired for true test of the ere ation of his mind. Shamrock was quick enough in stays. but she stirred up plenty of "smoke" forward and ap-

American defender and the British ehal- lenger. Expenses of building, tttingout and maintaining these boats, the great expenditures by the thousands of en- thusiasts who have at this early date leased every steamer available for fol- lowing the yachts, and the many items such as railroad fares, hotel expenses and newspaper expenses in getting news and imparting it to the public, all help to swell the cost of the race to the big figures.
 Race day, affairs of state, business and household matters and almost every ordinary transaction will be sub ordinated to the query: Who wins? So fixed and honored by precedent is the international struggle that the insular enthusiast actually thinks the pretty thing that skins the water be- meath snowy cloud of white canvas is the embodiment of all there is in the prowess of John Bull. The same senti- ment actuates the citizen of the United States. He pins his faith to the boat at whose peak floats the stars and stripes, sustained by the fact that i'll all these years British designers have not succeeded in getting speed lines that could beat the American. Millions will be eager to hear details of the con test, but few of that great number will have technical knowledge of yacht ing. 1t is to the layman who scarcely knows the difference between mast step and a spinnaker, that the forth coming race will be of deepest interest. Seeing farther than mere details of construction he will accept a twenty fourth victory by an American boat as a tribute to Yankee building and Amer ican seamanship.
 No one man could to-day make comparison between Columbia and Shamrock that would be within strill- ing distance of the figures that the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club will have to carefully com pile before the scientific allowances that will govern the contests can be made for the guidance of the yachts sailing masters So many details will enter into the compilations that the landsman's brain would get befogged were he to attempt the task of theoret- ically handicapping the English and the American boat so that under simi-

the grating at Al we will consider that the round black spot on the region of the green is a hole in the card and only green light will, of course, pass through it, and should we place our eye at the back and observe the grat- ing through the opening thus provided, we should see it's entire surface flooded with green light. Now let us substitute for the diffraetion grating one with finer ruling (which will defect the spectrum further away from the orig inal central flame imagel and there the blue will fall upon the hole-and sim ilarly if we substitute one in which the ruling is still eoarser than the original then the spectrum will be defected still less from the central image and consequently the red would now fall upon tine opening, so that if we were to use a grating on which the lines were not regular but arranged in three bars of different widths we should have red, green and blue light falling upon the opening at the same time, and bearing in mind the eClerk-Maxwell theory of the three primary or foundation colors, we can begin to understand now how we may produce a picture in colors by a correct distribution of three differ ent rulings; for instance, if we should have two sets of lines which send each q different color to the eye-say one red and the other green, then when we superpose them each set will send it's own color and the result will be Q mix ture of the colors of red and green, viz; yellow.

This now generally accepted theory was first practically ex- hibited by Clerk Maxwell in London in 1861, by means of three lanterns the discs of which were filtered through various solutions of red, green and blue dyes upon the screen and their edges made to superpose. thus showing the effect upon the eye when the different color sensation nerves were excited.

 When light passes through a glass prism it undergoes decomposition and is broken up into a colored band which Is known as a spectrum, the order of the colors of which is as follows, viz: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, and these seven coIors are now positively known to compose white light when again reeombined by a lens. Now a prism is not the only object which thus acts upon the light, for the same effect can be obtained by the use of "diffraction grating"

peared to drag aft, The wind was never strong enough to make her heel any. So much for the maiden spin. Since then she has had other spins off South ampton, but the public has not been en- frightened as to her sailing qualities.
 As for Columbia, she has proved her self a better boat than the Defender, and under Sailing Master Barr has car ried her wealth of billowy sails like a thing of beauty and life. Some of her little peeuliarities are that the club topsail is carried unusually high, the yard extending above the topmast head almost 26 feet. The club projects be- yond gaff about 14 feet. and between the tip of the club and the end of the gaff there is distance of about 19 feet. Columbia has shown weakest only in the run before a light wind. But even in this sailing she appears to be beeer than Defender. F. c. wEsTLAKE.

Fads in Hungary.

At town in Hungary certain ladies not long ago adopted the habit of talk ing to the theater huge plush bags of loud eolors. in which they carried all their miscellaneous belongings, such as opere glasses, gloves, handkerchiefs, smell, bottles and sweetmeats. These bags they were accustomed to hang over the ledge of the dress circle, with a picturesque and not wholly unpleas- ing effect. The fashion spread among the lower classes, and soon every serv- ant girl in the street appeared with a plush bag in her hand. X short time ago the officers of a regiment quartered in the town for several successive nights bought up ali the front seats in the dress circle and turned up at the per formance carrying on their arms an ordinary forage bag, which they slung over the ledge in imitation of the la dies. The joke created no little amuse- ment. and roars of laughter shook the house when the officers produced from their bags opera glasses. sweets, hand- kerchiefs. and here and there q tobacco pouch ora snuff box. Since then the plush bags have disappeared from the horizon. \. Y. Journal.

A difficulty between DR.. l.. G. Goneke,

journment of the board Monday, caused
considerable excitement about the court
house. Several blows were passed, but
the be'ligerents were separated before any
serious damage was done. The fight
grew out of some remarks the commits

have not been renewed, and it is hoped
by the friends of the two gentlemen that
the affair is at an end.
The board during it's session transact
ed some important business. The public
school term was fixed at five months,
and will begin on the first Monday in
October. No change in the location of
any of the schools was made. Commits

WATER WORKS,
CASE REOPENED.
JUDGE PAROEE ALLOWS ATTOR.
NEYS TO FILE AMENDMENT.
1t Is Alleged That United States Con.

The waterworks case has been reopen
ed by Judge Pardee of the United States
court, and the victory which was won by

ment to their original petition, and this
will necessitate rehearing of the case
The amendment which has been per
mltted by Judge Pardee alleges that the
ordinance which was adopted by the city
council repudiating the contract with
the waterworks company was a
violation of the constitution of the
United States, and forms an issue
which comes within the jurisdiction of
the federal court.

that the money due the waterworks COM
pany by the city be held and used in i'm

the provisions of the contract.
