The Up-to-Dato Smart Wedding.

Inc modern u%p-tO-date thoroughly
fashionable wedding is as unlike a re.
llgious ceremony as can be imagined
The on-lookeTs regard it as n theatri-
cal entertainment arranged for their
personal edification; they apparently
forget that they are in a sacred edi-
ice, and it is no unusual sight to wifi
ness a jostling mob of women doing
their best to stand upon the backs of
The peWs in order to get a good view
OF the parties before the altar.
To. the credit of the men it sborld
be said that they never make such ex-
hiDitions of themselves, perhans for
the reason that they are not possessed
OF that form of curiosity that causes =
oma to look upon a wedding as
something to be noted in every detaiI

order of an amphitheater then the
great difficulty would be obviated and
perhaps there could be maintained =

the stole-like pieces Of fur have a
fringe of sable tails. The toque. of
brown velvet and white lace, is faced
with sable. A sable muff completes the
costume.
A novelty in the cape line is of cloth
and ~caraeule. The caracule forms the
front of the garment, being so ar
ranged as to give a waistcoat effect,
while the cloth appears to be an over
cape. The edge of the fur is deeply
s~calloped, the fronts tapping over each
other, and the whole fitting UP snugIy
at the figure. The cloth is draped over
the shoulders in three broad, fiat
plaits, thanks to which the fur in the
back has the effect of a guimpe. The
cloth is bright green in color. At the
waist, in front, the cloth is confined
by a huge buckle. At the hem the
cloth is deliberately embroidered in
black. The high collar, scalloped at
the edge and of the caracule, is faced
with ermine.

Autotrucks for New York City To
Garry Eight Tons at the Rate of Eight
Miles Per Hour-The Latest Idea in
Flying Machines.


Autotrucks will soon be seen in the
streets of New York, says the New
York Herald. Platform trucks for car
rying heavy machinery and trucks
with high boxes for coal, ice or other
commodities will be first used. Com
pressed air will furnish the motive
power.
Motormen who operate these trucks
will have a high seat forward, with a
double wheel similar to the arrange
ment on a cable car for controlling the
power. One wheel will be for steering
purposes and the other will open or
close a valve between the air cham
bers and the motor. Although these
trucks will have a carrying capacity Of
eight tons and al be run on smooth
pavements as fast as eight miles an
hour, it is asserted that they can be
stopped in their own length.
BY shutting off the air the wheels
are locked and the truck comes to a
sudden standstill. The trucks are

The long coat is one of the features
of the season. 1t appears in a variety
OF designs, but in all it has an econ
omlc as well as an aesthetic value, for
no known garment is so successful a
shield to old clothes. Like charity, it
covers a multitude of sins, and under
your smart long coat you may wear a
frock of almost any degree of shabbi-
ness, provided, of course, that you are
careful to keep your smart long coat
well fastened all the time. One seen
lately was sufficiently pretty to excuse
Its being worn very often, indeed. OF

A German inventor has just brought
out a paperhanging machine. 1t con-
sists of a rod, upon which the roll of
paper is placed, and a paste receptacle
with a brushing convenience is at
tached in such a manner that the
paste is applied automatically on the
back of the paper. The end of the wall
paper is fixed at the bottom of the
wall, and the implement rises on the
wall in such a manner as only to re-
quire that it be set by one workman.
The paper, as it unrolls, is. held fiat
against the wall and an elastic roller
follows on the outside, which presses
it firmly and with exact smoothness
to the wall. The final operation is
when the wall paper reaches the top,
the workman now pulling a cord,
whereby the paper is cut off from the
roll.

From Russia comes a new flying ma
chine. DR.. K. |. Danilewsky of Char
kOv is the inventor.
This balloon flying machine is based
on the hypothesis that if a mans
strength, in proportion to his weight,
is not sufficient to raise him in the
air, he can raise himself if part Of his
weight is su~btracted, says the Scienti-
f1c American. By the use. of a balloon
filled with hydrogen the weight of the
man is eliminated from the problem
and he can use all his efforts to propel
and steer the balloon which supports
him. The pictures show the relative
size and form of the great wings,
which are sixteen feet long. In order
to utilize the whole power of the wings
for progressive movement it is neces-
sary to rise high in the air and then
the wings can be placed at 80 degrees
without any risk of descending. In
the latter case, to keep the machine
from descending, it is better to open
the parachute. On Oct. 8, 1897, some
twenty-five ascents were made in an
hour and a half. Other ascents were
made in the spring and summer of
1898 with good success, the balloon
being turned round and round repeat
edly. The size of the wings was de-
creased to II 2-3 feet and the working

To Give Wood the Luster Of Metal.
A translation from the Paris An
males Forestieres in the Scientific
American gives an account OF a Pc
cullarly valuable process for impart-
ing the lustre of metal to ordinary
wood, without injuring its natural
qualities. For this purpose, the wood
is laid, according to it's weight, for
three or four days, in a caustic alkaline
solution, such as calcined soda, at a
temperature of seventy-five to ninety
degrees, CELSIUS; then it is at once
placed in a bath of calcium hydrosul-
ph1te, to which, after twenty-four to
thirty-siX hours, a saturated solution
OF sulphur in caustic potash is added,
in this mixture the wood being allowed
to remain for forty-eight hours at
thlrty-fve to fifty degrees, CELSIUS.
When the wood thus prepared, and
after having been dried at q moderate
temperature, is polished by means of a
smoothing iron, the surface assumes a
most attractive metallic lustre, the er-
tect of the gloss being rendered addi-
tionally pleasing by rubbing the wood
with a piece of lead, zinc, or tin. 1t is
subsequently polished with a burnisher
of glass or porcelain, if desired, the
wood in this way actually gaining the
brilliancy Of a metallic mirror, so that,
of course, handsome effects in wood
ware can thus be obtained.

The rehabilitation of the Baltimore
and Ohio South Western railway win
begin as soon us the frost is out of tile
ground in the spring. Each mile of
track will be carefully reballasted and
placed in first-cass condition. 1t will
take 100000 pairs Of continuous rail
joints for the forty thousand tons of
rail. The two thousand standard box
cars and five hundred steel coal cars
recently ordered will be delivered in
March.
Additional motive power, in the
shape of forty compound freight en-
gines, weighing 10000 pounds. and
1Ve ten-Wheel compound passenger en-
SineS, weighing .135,0QO pounds, is
now being built by the Baldwin Loco
motive works.
1t is expected that by the time the
property is r%eorganized and becomes
the southwestern division of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road. that it will
be III a physical condition. fully equal

The main plaza of San Juan, Puerto
Rico, or tho morning of Dec. 9, saw a
strangely unwonted sight-the pre-
sentation Of American flags to the va
rious schools of the city. Principals,
teachers, scholars-even the small lads
of the orphan asylum-all were there.
Marching at the head Of each school
was q youthful and-who can Doubt
supremely proud bearer of the stand
ard-the emblem of new hopes, aspira-
tions and wider possibilities. There
are, it is stated, 600 schools-public
and private-on the island, and to
each a flag is to be given. Is it too
much to hope that, in due season,
childish voices will make its signifl-
cance vocal in mind and heart?

Alfalfa is recommended for railroad
planting as a fire preventive as it ap.
pears to be a fire proof plant owing tt
its tendency to remain green during
the season when fires are most fire..
quent, and it has quite successfully
demonstrated its value as a fire guard
The absence of the plowed strip for fire
protection where the Union Pacific
railroad passes through the great al,
falfa fields of 1000 acres lining the
track on the Watson ranch, west Of
Kearney, Neb., has proven. it is said
the value of alfalfa as used for fire
protection.

by a fantastic design in black braiding.
This edges the double cape, the high
pointed collar and the jabot-like re-
vers. 1t also forms a finish to the coat
where it fastens at one side of the
front and it appears at the hem. The
bell cuffs make use of it. A narrow
waistcoat and stock revealed by the
revers, are OF the velvet, unrelieved by
any braiding. One big ornamental
button is placed at the waist where the
garment fastens. The hat is of blue
velvet, with black plumes and green

result is brought about by the use Of
interrupted currents. Each transmit
ter receives its current though a tun-
ing-fork having a special note, its
variations being electrically m~aintain-
ed. These vibrations furnish a current
of the proper period to cause resonance
at each application in the proper re-
ceiving circuit, which has its capacity
adjusted for this result. This receiver
is a telephone Ga monotelephone, as it
is called by Mr.. Merridier), so con-
structed and arranged that the aoous-
tic qualities also help to
damp out from the signals received
everything not intended for it. These
signals are read in the ordinary way
by ear, aided by rubber tubes like those
used on monographs.

Property for the site of a power
house has been purchased and a plant
costing $250,000 is to be erected for the

Mr.. Joseph Letter is largely interested,
is being organized. Mr.. Letter will not
be president. He will probably be one
of the directors. This company will
be incorporated in New Jersey. An ex-
listing plant has ben bought by Mr..
Letter for $4,000, 900, and it will be in
operation within sixty days. Mr.. Lei

mac cyolometer Aaaptea to the CANOE.

The Cyclometer Adapted to the Canoe,
A clever adaptation of the cyclone
ter to the canoe was made by Lieut..
Hugh l.. Willoughby in a trip through
the Florida Everglades, and described
by him in a book. All ordinary means
OF marine measurement are useless in
the everglades, and as it was neces-
sary to keep a record of the distance
involved, Lieutenant Willoughby de-
vlsed a scheme whereby he used a
cyclometer for the purpose successful
ly. He attached the front fork of an
old bicycle to the stern of his canoe.
In the jaws of this was swung a 28-
Inc bicycle wheel, the tire being
equipped with a series of small pad
dies, so fastened that they regulated
the speed of the wheel to that of the
boat. h cyclometer was attached
in the usual manner. Repeated ex-
periments with the device demonstrate
ed to Lieutenant Willoughby that the
slip of the wheel was constant. and
that its trailing behind the boat re-
corded reliable measurements on the
cyclometer even when going at a slow
gait. He says that the wheel and cy-
clometer gave excellent results as a
log of the trip. Canoeists and oarsmen
might take a hint from this for their
next tours on the water. An old bicy-
Gle wheel is easy to get, and it must
add to the pleasure of the trip to keep
an accurate record of the distances COW
