ROCK OIL AS FUEL.
There Has Been Il Great Increase n It's Utilization in Eng
 Innd of Late.

During the last year the enormous increase in the use in England of roel oil as fuel has about silenced the alarm ist who for many years past ha prophesied d time, not so very distant when the coal mines in that country would be exhausted. It is not claimed that the heavy draw on the coal suppl, is greatly lessened, but it is argued that it will be before very long. Las month the matter was under discussion before the Society of Arts in Londo1 and one of the papers read on the oc casion gave an account of the presen position of liquid fuel, as the phrase il over there, in England and other coun tries. In England oil as fuel is in ust on the Great Eastern railway, and it il said the results have proved satisfae tory It has also found more or les use in the Russian, German and Italian nayies and on one or two foreign rail ways. When the oil fields of Dutcl Borneo were first opened up the oi was not allowed to be carried in bull through the Suez canal and there wal not a single port at which obstacles were not placed in the way of its intro duction. Now vessels carrying 6.50l tons and capable of diseharging over 800 tons of oil per hour pass through tn, canal regularly. The impedimentl placed in the way of it's discharge hay, been done away with, as experience hal shown that there is no real danger Several advantages are claimed for tho use of oil as fuel to replace coal, tht chief being the convenience of storage the reduction of labor in storing an6 rapidity of discharge. The alternat. contraction and expansion of the fir, bars and steam tubes. unavoidable when coal is used as fuel, is said to bt altogether stopped, but against this has to be placed risk of overheating.-Chi caoo Chronicle

THE JAUNTY EToN JACKET.
Dainty silk Coats Are in Great Demand for the Coming
 Season.

The iauntiest of Junetime wraps will be little Eton jackets of daintily-col- pred tafTeta silks. They will be tailor built, with stitchings and strapped seams and coat sleeves, the reVers of corded satin sprinkled with pompadour embroideries in delicate fade colors. Some will have jeweled buttons and lace iabots, others will be kept tailerish in the extreme. with collar faced with white satin, revers of the taffeta and white satin olive-shaped or tiny crystal buttons. The sleeves will have narrow turned-up cuffs of the white satin. Whether elaborate or severe, in dainty rose or blue. or in black or white, they will be equally appropriate to throw on over any possible summer gown, from a handsomely built pique to white lace or a sprigged muslin.
 A pretty skirt and jacket suit for the summer is of white cloth, the skirt be ing made in the most glovelike fashion and fastening invisibly. The jacket is g bolero, cut with tabs in front, and re. yers which are broad on the shoulder and roll away to nothing at the bottom of the jacket. These are faced with blue linen in which guipure lace figures are inserted. The waistcoat is of linen trimmed in the same elaborate way, and fastened with crystal buttons.
 A novelty in capes is broad scarf oi crepe de chine draped around the shoul. ders. In some instances it is shaped 8 little by yoke, but the simple straight scarf, three-quarters of yard wide and long enough to fall to the knees after il is knotted, is quite as good style.
 The popularity of gray for evening gowns seems to continue. A gray tulle lightly dotted with silver is made with long tunic, heavy about the bottom. with incrustations of point de Nenise. which is beautifully embroidered with silver. Short puffed sleeves, ending half way to the elbows with a fall ot lace, and the upper part of the corsage are of tulle; the lower part being GOV, cred with a drapery of embroidered lace. At one corner of the decolletagt Is wired noeud of orange velvet
 A favorite material for fancy blouse or a tea gown is ribbed silk with g tiny ruching of ribbon sewed to every third cord in the silk. Or if preferred the ruching may be of mousseline de soie, as seen on tea gown of white ot toman silk, covered in this way with tiny ruchings of pale blue. The entire overgoWn was edged with lace iabots finished with several rows of larger r1cbiDpS The pn1erd resS ,H.ac o xyb;ta figured crepe, held by q sash of blue silk with long fringed cnds..-C Chicago Chronicle.
