for the stretching of the cable back

Spread OF ELECTRICITY.

1t is said that electricity is to re-
place oil for lighting in Balize, Brit
ish Honduras. A bill is now before
the colonial councils and is likely to
pass, authorizing the district board Of
Balize to contract for the establish
ment of an electric light plant in that
town, and granting the contractor the
privilege of lighting public and pri-
vate houses. The plant will probably
be ordered in the United States.

Effective Trim ming.

A very effective trimming for light
weight flannel blouses is a band ef
embroidered linen, which has replaced
the coarse lace or taffeta bands so long
popular. Pretty striped wash fannels
are made in shirt waists, trimmed with
a few tucks or left plain. The latest
shirt waist model shows the yoke back
more like the waist worn several sea-
sons ago.

Wood Pr. scrvation by Electricity.

Wood Pr. reservation by Electricity.
A method of preserving wood by
electricity is described in a recent
number Of Praktischer Maschinencon-
structeur, which is said to be applicable
to woods for all purposes, from that
for railroad ties to that for fine furni-
ture. The apparatus used, according g
to the account, is simple. 1t consists
Of wooden box upon the bottom of
which lead plate is placed and con.
nected with the positive pole of
the electrical source. Upon this
plate the wood to be treated
is then put and over it an
other plate connected with the negative
pole. The box is then filled with a
solution OF borax, resin and sodium
carbonate. Tie effect of the current
being to drive the sap out Of the wood
and replace it with the preserving So
luton. The wood is kept under treat
ment for from five to eight hours,
when it is taken out and dried either
IN the air or in drying oven.
