SUGAR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Pictures Made from Sunlight Stored Up
in Brown Sugar.

Pictures Made from Sunlight Stored Up
in Brown Sugar.
There are many substances which
emit light when placed in darkness.
Chief among them is common brown
sugar, Any boy or girl may make
photographs without a camera and
with the light that is emitted from
brown sugar. First, you must store
your sugar full Of sunlight. You must
make a storage battery for sunlight
This is easily done. Merely place your
sugar on a board or In a basin and lay
it where the sun can shine on it all
day long. Ten hours Of exposure will
fill it full Of sunlight Next procure
sensitive plate, being careful not to
allow any light to touch it, Carry it
into a dark room; in fact, the expert
ment ought to be performed at night
to insure the room being dark. A key,
coin or some other small, flat object
should be photographed.
Place your object on the sensitive
plate and sprinkle the sugar over
them until they are buried from
sight. Leave the arrangement until
morning, when photograph Of the
object will appear on the plate.
This is quite wonderful, but you
may make it still more so by doing
what Prof. McKissick did. Prof. Nc
Kissiek, Of Auburn, (Ala.) poIytech-
mic school, placed his sensitive plate
in plate holder. This he laid on
table in a dark room. On the plate
holder he laid key, dime and
piece of broken glass. On these he
placed block of wood four inches
thick. Then he sprinkled brown sugar
on top of the block. Over all he
spread a black tabiecloth and left the
arrangement in darkness over night.
In the morning he found the key, the
dime and the bit of broken glass per-
fectly photographed on the sensitive
plate. Now you will observe that the
stored rays of light from the sugar,
in order to photograph the objects on
the plate, were compelled first TO pass
through the four-inch block of wood.
1t will therefore be seen that the
light Of the sugar was X-ray in its
quality. All of the retransmitted
light seems to possess this quality, and
at least the experiment seems very
wonderful to the uninitiated. 1t
would lead one to think that there is
no such thing as absolute darkness.
Since many subjects emit stored
light, it must follow that what we or
dinarily know as darkness must be
pierced by shafts of invisible light,
Perhaps cats are thus able to see in
the dark.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

the front costs more than the jacket
itself. but on the other hand, it is much
more conspicuous and effective.

Easter. that arbiter of women's fash
ions, came stepping along so early this
year that the winter coat was called in
before it had finished its duty. Already
we have had two OF three brisk evenings
when the sealskin and the boucle would
not have been too warm.
Many of the spring coats are made
with open or fly fronts to be worn over
a chiffon neck piece and with no other
vest than the silk waist To guard
against pneumonia, that foe of spring
fashions, there are some very pretty
vests displayed. -
The warmest and, at the same time,
the most decorative is the. white cha
MICS vest This is seen this year EN-
briodered in silver and gold and trimmed
with lace. Its effect is wonderfully like
white velvet. When embroidered with
out the lace it looks very much like a
suede vest which inded it is, the chamois
being one variety of unglaced or I'M
dressed kid.
The vest is nicely fitted to one side of
the coat so that it can be removed in
the house with the coat.
SPRING JACKETS.
The smartest spring jackets are cut
away long in front and rounding on the
sides. In the back they are the same
length as the Sides This means a re-
turn to the long. tightz6tting coat which
was 1aSn1OudDIc seven years ago. Il dSu-
ions repeat themselves once in seven
years; and the writer actually saw a
long coat of ladies' cloth brought out of
camphor trunk where it had reposed
for seven years and put on and worn.
1t only needed pressing to be in the ex-
IRENE style.
There is another variety of fashionable
coat which is called the beetle back
1t has very, long coat-tails which are
broad at the waist. line tapering down
to narrow. They extend half way down
the skirt These coats are very becom-
ing to a rather stout figure, as they have
the undeniable effect of making the skirt
look longer and the waist smaller.
An old coat can be fitted with coat
tails, which can be put on with many rows
of stitching, thus making a fashionable
feature out of a necessity. The spring
coat is seen in every color, and it is
made out of many thin stuffs. such as
cashmere, camers hair and etamine. 1t
is also fashioned out of the lighter quail
tiles of ladies' Goth.
Stitching is by far the newest trim
ming, and rows and rows of it are used
OF a very fine narrow braid is stitched
on in arabesques.
Elton jackets are coming in again too,
but they are usually seen in what is
called two-piece suits or the jacket and
skirt. Box coats are Away used with
notifications. This year they are short
-er.

In Richmond Miss Langhorne was

belledom. In the society play which was

4 TALK WITH
MARIE CORELLI.
How the Gifted AutlOFSSS Appears
at Home, What She Says and
What She Wears.
Her FANCY FOR TURQUOISE BLUE.
She Laughs Whel You Tell Her That You
Supp SGd Italians Wee Dark aid Re-
m ndS You Sic Is Purely Venetian.
ELL SHE COME TO THIS COUNTRY?

Marie Coreli is the most interesting
figure in the literary world. Marvellous
stories are told of her birth and parent
age; but, as matter of fact, she is all
Italian of the Venetian type. She was
adopted, when very young, by DR..
Charles Mackay, the author, and at his
death she was left in the guardianship
of Dr. Mackay's stepson, Eric Mackay,
the poet.
In such congenial surroundings Marie
Corelli grew up to womanhood with a
strong instinct for music. She was given
thorough musical education, and she
intended to devote her life to it, but all
of a sudden she had a desire to write;
and so started out upon "A Romance of
Two Worlds" She completed the book
before she was 20 years old.
Its instantaneous success gave her Il
position in the literary world; and she
has since devoted herself to literary
work She, keeps house on .Longbridge
Road, London, and is the mistress of
very nice brownstone mansion with a
typical small backyard upon which the
windows of her study look.
Marie Corelli is small slight and very
delicate. Her hair is gold, her eyes blue,
and her complexion the purest pink and
white When you tell her that you
supposed all Italians were dark. She viii
remind you that the Venetian type is fair.
Her coloring is so delicate, yet so high.
that she might be a China figure painted
for shop window. Her hands are speci-'
ally beautiful. They are small and per
feet in shape and in talking she uses
them constantly. Her teeth are described
by an interviewer as "a delicate row of
snow-white pearls" and her smile is just
the loveliest thing ever witnessed.
Marie Coreli is a woman of intense
nervous force and marvellous Imagination
The warm Southern blood is in her veins.
giving her that peculiar creative power
which can only belong to the tropics. She
is a painter, a writer and a musician
putting the art of all three in her literary
work.
When at home, which is nearly all the
year. the authoress is always eXquisitely
dressed. her favorite colofs being pale
blue and white. She dresses frequently
in a Vatican gown of turquoise blue
satin, profusely trimmed with beautiful
lace. She works constantly, and is never
happier than when at her desk
Although a great lion in London's liter
airy world, Marie Corelli goes out but
little and then only to visit the opera OF
an exhibition of paintings She is de.
voted to the work of her step brother
and finds no greater joy than in Draisinp
his celebrated work, The Love Letters
of Violinist,'' for Eric Mackay is a noet
of no mean worth.
1t is marvellous thing about Marie
COreili that she has never visited The
countries of which she writes. She had
never seen the Land of the Midnight Sun
when she wrote "Thelma," nor had she
any worldly experience when she penped

To fry a roe, dip it in cold water,
then dip it in flour the same as for the

Boiled shad is a favorite dish with
New England people and is delicious.
Roll the shad in piece of cheese

full of vinegar. Have just enough
water to cover the fish, and boil it
gently a half hour. Serve it on a hot
platter, being careful to roll it gently
out OF the cloth on the platter, so as
not to break the flesh Cover it with
a butter sauce, and after it is on the
table take hold Of the head of the fish
with napkin, draw it toward you, and
in this way remove entire backbone to
the tail; then serve the fish.
