Waste steam May He Used to Run an
Auxiliary Engine.
For many years 1t has been known
that the steam engine did not utilize
all its energies. The ordinary high
pressure engine, which discharged its
exhaust steam into the air, used hardly
more than per cent Of the value OF
the fuel burned under its boiler. The
compound engine. which condensed the
steam and returned the warm water to
the boilers, used only IL to 13 per cent
Of the fuel energy. Here ingenuity
seemed to stop until a device was In
vented for using the heat of the ex-
haust steam to evaporate another
liquid. which. having lower boiling
point than water. required less heat
for the process than does water. This
process is the joint discovery Of g.
Behrend. Hamburg engineer, and DR..
Zimmermann Of Ludwigshafen, and 1t
gains as high as Sc per cent additional
motive power without increasing the
expenditure Of fuel. The liquid they
chose for evaporation is sulphurous
acid, which ia cheap. easily obtained,
and ID SO oily that it lubricates the in
ner working surfaces of the machinery
without corroding them. The steam
passes Into the surface condenser or
syaporizer. in which the cooling me-

Danrerou. British Oysters.

Americans who have eaten oysters in
England wonder at the fondness of the
British for the leathery native" that
tastes like a copper cent. but which they
prefer to the luscious bivalve that we
eat in America. The average English
man does not care for Blue Points OF
Saddle Rocks, and prefers to pay a
larger price for his coppery morsels Of
shell fish. His clinging to his idols is
responsible for several cases of typhoid
fever. Nor is it strange that typhoid
should thus be spread. The medical
officer of Marylebone say 5 that most of
the oysters come from waters tainted
with sewage, and they retain in their
soft tissues fair quantity of the wa
ter from which they have been taken.
He advises people never to eat British
oysters raw-adSice which few Ameri-
cans win disregard more than once

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS
C0lers and Trimmings That VIII .se
Popular In the Winter
Costumes.

Two or three beautiful shades in
green and blue, the tawny browns
called Siam, and the richer russell tints,
with a CLEAN of gold in them. known as
Cleopatra, are among the most attract
i've colors in broadcloth, ladies' cloth.
and similar elegant wool fabrics used
for handsome tailor costumes The
Roman and Russian and the deep Dew
ey blues are all notably becoming dyes,
and they make up into distinetively
smart costumes when fur-trimmed.
Damson again appears. the purple
slightly deeper than that of Parma vio-
let. and much like the amethyst are
the Ophelia and pansy dyes that will
be so popular in costume cloths and
millinery this winter.
A very handsome and at the same
time economical costume in poionaise
style can be made by using for the
foundation skirt a gown that is partly
worn or one that one has tired of.
When taken apart and thoroughly
cleaned, this can be used for the I'M
aerskirt, adding a silk, velvet, or cloth
,uffle at the. bottom. This ruffie need
aot be very deep, as the polonaise viii
cover nearly the whole of the under
iress at the back. revealing only a few
inches on the front and sides. The
revers, cuffs, and collar of the overdress
match the ruffie on the underskirt in
fabric, or, if the po1onaise is turned
down in revers to the shoulders, the
gimp introduced also corresponds
with the ruff1e in kind.
Fur will not only be much used as
garniture for street costumes, red
ngotes, capes, jackets, etc., but il will
be more than ever patronized as dec
oration for choice evening toilets, err
mine still receiving a considerable share
of patronage. Cream-white satin gowns
have a tiny roll of rich dark fur at the
skirt edge, with fur and lace on the
bodice. Sable, seal, otter and mink are
seen on waist models of milk-white chif-
fon, pink satin, primrose matelasse,
ETC., and odd-looking fur gimps,
draped revers, collarettes, with ends
en- jabot, peplums, girdle pieces, vests
and bretelles appear on costly velvet
polonaises, cloth redingotes, and sur
touts and cloak dresses made in Rus
sian style. On some of the less expen-
sive long wraps of camers hair or
broadcloth a very fine quantity of la
dies cloth is in some instances used
instead of velvet for the revers, turn
down collar, and vest in some bright,
contrasting color, and covered with a
rich decoration of silk cord, chenille,
or passementerie en- applique. The
same plan is carried out in redingotes
cut down to the shoulders, the gimp
and turn-down revers being similarly
made of the decorated cloth.-N. Y

The Name of Ladx,m,th.

Ladysmith got its name from WON
an. This woman was the wife of Gen.
Sir Harry Smith, whose marriage, by
the way, was one OF the romances of
the peninsular war. At that time two
young British officers in a Spanish
town. which had just been occupied by
an English force, were surprised by a
visit from two very young and beauti-
full Spanish girls OF the better class.
These fair callers begged protection
in the alarming circumstances in which
they had been placed by the occupation
OF the rougher soldiery. Their request
was of course gallantly granted, and in
a short time one Of the officers, Capt
Smith. found himself desperately in
love. In due time he married the WON
an whom he had protected. The mar
rage proved happy one.-Philadel-
