SOME CURIOUS AUTOMATIC.

Of all the inventors of mechanical
curiosities, Jacques Vaucanson was
certainly the king. In the ingenuity of
his mind he equalled If he did not
surpass, the most skilful of men. In
the first book of the Odes of Horace
we read that Arckytas manufactured
wooden pigeon, which, actuated by a
mechanical movement, few from place
to place This, however, was nothing
as compared with the automatic fly
manufactured by John Muller, and
which flew around the table during a
dinner, and alghted upon the hand of
its owner and manufacturer, to the
great astonishment of his guests.
Philippe Camus describes an extraor-
binary automatic group which was spe-
cially constructed for the amusement of
Louis XIV. 1t was minute coach, to
which were harnessed several horses,
and which rolled over the table. Upon
starting the coachman cracked his
whip, and the horses began to prance
and then became quiet and started off
on a trot The coachman stopped in
front of the king, and the lacley jump
ed from his seat and, opening the door,
handed out handsomely dressed lady,
who walked toward His Majesty, sa-
luted him tremendously, presented a
petition to him. and then re-entered the
coach. The lackey closed the door and
jumped upon his box, the whip snapped
and the horses galoped off.
Vaucanson did better still His auto
matte duck was, to connoisseurs an OBJ
ject of admiration. The bird waddled
off in search of food, and picked up
and swallowed the seeds that it met
with. These seeds. says an article in
the "Biographzic Universelle,' passed
through series of triturations that ia
cilitated the introduction of them into
the intestines and caused them to ac-
complish all the phases of digestion. 1t
was impossible to distinguish this duck
from living one. 1t splashed about in
the water and quacked at pleasure.
Vaucanson's mechanical flute player
also was a marvel. 1t was a life-size
figure. clothed in the fashion of the
period, and standing alongside of a
broken column, upon which it slightly
leaned. 1t was capable of playing a
dozen different airs with remarkable
ease To effect this result, there was a
system of weights that actuated a bel

in the usual way upon the stopple of

One charm OF the linen gown as a substitute

nicely TO the tailor cut and finish. Strappings
and stitchings are brought out IN their happiest
guise. and the dainty little lingerie skirts which
are worn with these tailor-made costumes make
a charming contrast. A linen gown with old
brocaded silk revers Is one Of the capridous
whims Of fashion and suggests a prophecy that
old brocade and Eastern embroidery will be a
feature Of the tailor gown In the com ng autumn.
