1t Is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear of some no.
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent, says E. w. Maunder in
Knowledge. Among those desert wan
derers, keen to observe their surround
ings, 1t would not be n difficult thing to
notice that the shadow shortened as
the sun rose higher in the sky and that
the shortened shadow always pointed
In the same direction-north The rec
ognition would have followed very
soon that this MONDAY shadow chang
ed In its length from day to day. A six
foot spear would give a shadow at
MONDAY in latitude 40 degrees of 12
feet at one time of the year, of less
than two feet ut another This instru-
ment, so simple, so easily carried, so
easily set up, may well have begun the
scientific study Of astronomy, for it
lent itself to measurement, and science
Is measurement, and probably we see it
expressed In permanent form in the
obelisks of Egyptian solar temples,
though these no doubt were retained
merely as solar emblems ages after
their use as actual instruments of OBJ
servation had ceased. An upright stick
carefully plumbed standing on some
level surface may therefore well make
the first advance upon the natural hori-
zon. A knob at the top of the stick will
be found to render the shadow more
easily observed.

SEEDlESS ORANGES.
Their Introduction In America Due
to a Woman.

The Introduction into the United
States Of the seedless orange, the cul-
ture of which has assumed such large
proportions on the Pacific coast, was
primarily due to an American woman.
Travelling in the province of Bahia,
Brazil, in 1866, she incidentally men
toned in letter to a friend in the
United States, Horace Capron, then
commissioner of agriculture, that the
oranges of Bahia were of superior
quality to those raised in the United
States. No chance expression of taste
probably ever was fraught with more
magnificent results. Mr.. William Saun-
ders, then as now in charge of the
gardens and grounds of the depart
ment of agriculture, had already de-
voted some attention to the improve
ment of orange culture in the United
States and had introduced a few new
varieties from foreign countries. This
letter, being brought to his attention,
suggested the possibility Of new find
in the field of orange culture. A re-
quest was sent for specimens for prop
agating purposes. A box of cuttings
from trees was returned, which unfor-
tunately proved worthless. A specific
order was then forwarded for plants,
and in 1870 n small shipment of -
young trees. all of the same variety
and well packed in wet moss and clay,
arrived in Washington in fairly good
condition. This was the original stock
from which have sprung all the far
famed orange groves producing what is
commercially known as the Riverside
navel Tor seedless) orange" of southern
California. All of the IL plants were
planted in the department grounds and
thrived. AT the proper time buds from
these II trees We're grated upon small
orange plants then under cultivation at
the department and the process of
propagation repeated at proper inter
walls. AS the supply increased hundreds
of the young plants were distributed
through Florida and California, at first
under the name of the Bahia orange"
afterward as the washington navel"
For some undiscovered reason condi-
tions in Florida proved unfavorable to
the productiveness of the trees, but the
development and success of their cul-
ture in California constitute subject
of unusual interest.

THE WRITER'S.

George Moore, the English novelist,
dramatist and art critic, is to visit this
country about next Christmas time for
the purpose of studying art conditions in
America.
Mr.. Richard Whiteing's new novel will
deal with the life of the British farm la
borer. The author is again at work,
though slowly, as he is not entirely re-
covered from his recent severe illness.
Beatrice Harraden, it is said, wields a
saw and plane with as much skill as her
pen. While living on ranch in Califor-
mia for her healths sake she became
quite expert as carpenter, helping upon
occasions to build fence. She set out
with her own hands a small orchard and
attended to the grating and pruning.
NJ Sardou frankly admits that there is
nothing but plcbeian blood in his veins.
For three generations his ancestors lived
in very modest circumstances at Cannes.
Before that they were Sandman fisher
men. His great-grandfather, he says,
may have been wrecked on the south of
France and settled there; hence the
family name Sardou, signifying an in
habitant of Sardinia.

The TeIegraphoue

A special kind of phonograph called
the telegraphone has been invented by
V. Poulsen of Copenhagen.
AS described by The Electrical Re
view, the invention consists largely In
substituting a steel ribbon for the wax
cylinder used in the ordinary phono-
graph and in magnetizing points in this
ribbon instead of marking it with a
pointed rod, as is done in the case of
the wax cylinder. The oscillations of a
magnet near the ribbon when one talks
into the instrument produce a perma-
nent magnetic record in the ribbon
which is given out as words when the
ribbon is afterward moved near a simi-
lar magnet suitably mounted.
An additional feature is found in the
fact that the words spoken into the re-
celver can be recorded at distance, at
the end of telephone or telegram
wire, a message arriving in ones alb
sence will be impressed on the ribbon
and can be read off when one returns
home. By arranging the ribbon as n
continuous band, like @ band sack, n
message can be sent to large number
of subscribers Mt the same time, each
having o small vibrating magnet to
take the message from the telephone
wire. The steel ribbon used is about
one hve-hundredth of an inch thick.

THE Dominic.

St. Pauls cathedral was completed
within 30 years, while the building of st.
Peters, Rome, was extended over 176
years.
A novel building removal recently took
place in Chicago when the Woodlawn
Presbyterian church was moved across
the Illinois Central tracks. The tracks
are elevated, and the church was hoisted
about 15 feet high and lowered on the
other side.
The Rev. John Contant, pastor OF the
Reformed church of Lodi, n. j., was
forced to preach in blue overalls. and a
boys coat on a recent Sunday morning,
because burglar had stolen his clothes
during the previous night. The minister
prayed for the burglar in the course of
the morning prayer.
The Rev. l.. j. Coppin, colored, of
Philadelphia, who was recently elected
bishop of the African Methodist Epsco-

the Transvaal there win be a reorganiza-
ton of the conference, and work on the
college will be commenced.

The BIOuse In Autumn.

When the autumn begins to create q
change in the momentous affairs of
dress, the blouse waists will appear
under the gulse of black and white
silk muslin or chiffon webs, richly en-
broidered and laid over tinted silk lin
ings. They can be worn with any sort
of silk, satin or fine cloth skirt, and
those women who invariably force ev-
cry season have been appearing in
beautiful hand worked bodices at
smart country house morning enter
tainments.
In heavier and more durable goods
the novelty blouses are already max
ing show, and new silk, called peau
de suede, is what they are built of. A
peau de suede surface, tinted in pale
tan, displays interviewer spots of
brown velvet of graduated sizes, tech
nically termed the mushroom pattern
and to find blouse of more interest
ing and modish goods than this a wo-
man will be obliged to search far and
wide.
1t seems almost essential to mention
here in connection with blouScS that
any maid or matron who is obliged to
conduct at once with skill and economy
the destines of her wardrobe for the
approaching fall will do herself Il good
turn by investing in a white satin skirt.
1t Is to be. the basis-in fact, 1t has
been the basis all summer-of every
variety of blouse No woman who
knows the laws of clothcsland mounts
her blouses, be they grave or gay of
aspect, on black satin skirt. She
buys instead the richest ivory white
satin she can find, gives it to n good
dressmaker who will cut it on hand
some lines, but decorates it with moth
ing more than a narrow, thick fold of
satin at the foot or with three inch
wide tucks.
1t is amazing what rough, steady
usage such a skirt can endure and how
with a few blouses it will answer as
the Very backbone and cornerstone of
theater toilets, dinner dresses. at home
costumes and at pinch for ball
gown. Now, important as it is to dwell
on the merits of the white satin skirt,
just so important is it to caution every
woman against its black satin fellow.
That garment is an old soldier on I'M
limited furlough, some day undoubted-
ly to be recalled to active duty.-Mil-

TRUST THE HELMSMAN.

II It seems but a stubborn old world
That won't be reformed in day,
Don't fall to lamenting that all things are wrops
And refuse to be righted your way;
Just guide your course by the truth,
As the truth seems apparent to you,
And when in snug harbor you anchor at last
You may find all the others there too.
There's many ship on the sea,
And all by the tempests blown,
But one ship can't steer by another ships helm;
1t has to be steered by it's own.
They'll answer call of distress
And help till the danger is past,
But on its own compass each ship must rely
To reach the home haven at last.
