he could turn a ferret or weasel into a
glorious creation! Indeed, the in
significant mole is still to the fore, and
the squirrel is treated in variety of
novel ways. The latter is beautiful
fur, and it is extraordinary how well it
can look in skilful hands.
1t will be good news to the possessors
of sealskin that once more this fur will
be very fashionable, especially in the
shape of boleros with pelerine collars,
and of carriage wraps, mixed with sable.
Sealskin always has its price, whether
1t is in the fashion or not, but good
furs, good lace, and good jewels are
never really out of fashion. They may
vary little in the setting, but they are
always pleasing to the eye, and the sem
sible woman will never part with such
glorious possessions. 1t is, after all, a
foolish individual who prefers an in
different novelty, which may at any mo-
ment become vulgarized, to a genuinely
good article
1t is never the fault of the leaders
and designers of fashion that we some
times discard the genuine for the indif-
ferent imitation, and to-day the old
masters are more faithfully copied than
ever. From the crown of our head to
the sole of our foot we show much rev.
erence for the glorious workmanship of
bygone days,
Then in furs and lace we want every
thing Of the best. Ermine and sable,
jewels and old point constitute the ele-
ments of really wonderful carriage
or opera cloak. The shape of these gar
ments seems a compromise between the
Japanese sleeve and the 1880 pelerine.
The most beautiful are those of full
length.

NOVEL Photograph.
Registers Distance Walked, But
Also the Direction Taken.

The Photograph is newly devised
instrument which not only makes
record of the distance Travelled by
pedestrian, but of the direction taken,
SO that at the end Of tour map
can be shown giving the distance COW
cred and direction taken in black and
white. 1t is the invention of a man
named Ferguson, who gave descrip-
ton of the machine before the Engin-
GERS society, of Shanghai.
The Photograph, according to the Bal
that the person walking bears before
him suspended from the shoulder by
strap. This box contains small
board, on which is fixed a sheet of
paper which is to receive the tracing,
parallel to the board and at little
distance from it being plate of I'M
polished glass. The active portion of
the instrument-called the recorder
is composed of small metallic frame
bearing wheel with pointed teeth
which rests on the paper and traces by
punching holes. The recorder is sup
ported on the paper and on the glass
by small wheels. The board is
maintained vertically under the action
of its own weight, the descent being
regulated by the shake given each time
by the steps of the bearer.
Here are the essential portions Of the
recorder. A small moving body-ar-
ranged as an equilibrated pendulum
long spring acting on a very small
lever, which, at each oscillation, makes
advance to the extent of a tooth, and
ratchet wheel, the axis of which car
ries an endless screw geared to the
printing wheel. If the ratchet wheel
has SO teeth, so oscillations will make
one round of it's axis and the printing
wheel has made mark for so oscil-
lations or steps. If the interval of the
teeth of the printing wheel is 1.20 Of
an inch corresponding to SO steps.
1000 steps will correspond to one inch
or one-half mile, 1000 steps to two
inches or one mile, etc.
The board is always vertical and is
fixed in the middle of horizontal axis
connected with the box or envelope,
and consequently the board may turn
around this axis. At the upper part
of the box-which spirit level always
keeps evenly held-is piece carrying
magnetized needle forming a COM
pass. A button, which is turned by
the hand, makes the piece in question
always coincide with the needle, if a
turn in the direction causes the walker
to deviate from the original direction
A little transmitter composed of two
pulleys of the same diameter and an
endless cord connects the piece carry
ing the needle to the axis of the board.
SO that If the bearer changes his direc-
ton to right or left the board inclines
from one side to the other of it's orig
inal direction, while always remaining
the same as the glass in a vertical
plane. 1t will be found that the re-
corder thus not only traces the dis
lance, but also the direction in which
the bearer is going.

A Peculiar Bird.

There is a peculiar bird commonly
known as the "kiwi," it's scien-
tific name being apteryx mantelli. 1t
is the lowest form of bird which ex-
lists, but is so scarce that scientists are
happy to get a specimen in any condi-
ton. 1t is absolutely without wings or
tail; it's legs are short, stubby, but
very strong, ana are used by this bird
for digging. The body covering is
cross between hair and feathers
material which is very coarse They
can develop great speed, and make
desperate fight when attacked. Breed
ing them in captivity has utterly
failed, and only few museums can
boast of specimen. They are now
very rarely found in the forests and
swamps in the north of New Zealand.

SOOthed Artists Injured Feelings.
Once. when the late President
Faure was being escorted through the
Paris salon by an artist of note, on
the opening day, he caught sight of
picture that struck him as safe to crit
icise. To his dismay he found that
the author of the "machin" which had
excited his amusement was his worthy
guide. Turning to the mortified paint
err he said: "You know how it is;
the buyer always runs down the thing
he has set his heart on. The fact is,
want that picture for the Palais de
l'Elysee!" And, as good as his word,
the president bought the picture next
day.

Position in the Contract for Naphtha
 Lights.
 Attorney Clifford l. stoddard, counsel for the American Lighting company, of Baltimore. who were awarded the con- tract for naphtha lights in New Haven for three years. said yesterday after noon that his clients would not accept the contract unless the city would agree to use at least 227 lights at all times for three years. This must be the minimum number to be paid for.
 This proposition will be submitted to the lighting committee at their meeting tonight. There is some question about it's acceptance on the part of the city, as the city in recent years has been substituting gas lights for naphtha lights whenever the substitution was feasibIy, and probably will continue to do so. as the gas lamps are cheaper than the naphtha lamps. And while there may be 227 naphtha lights now in use, the tendency is to lessen this num- Der from time to time.
