She went to Springfield and proposed to get the divorce there, Every now and then she would send me marked copies of papers containing items regarding the progress of her case.

ARTISTIC NECK CHAINS.

looms of which there are number of kinds. AS to the things that, may be made the Delinea tor enumerates, among others, the following.
 Neck chains are very popular. They are made for carrying fans, watches and ornaments of all descriptions and sometimes with pendants of fancy dec orative beads, when their object is solely ornamental. The beads are ef- fectiye when strung upon threads and then twisted or braided into chains. The usual length of these. chains is fifty inches, and frequently they are finished on the ends with gold or silver mountings, or s strip Of chamois is seweds firmly on the beads, making a good hold for any suspended article
 At Fig. striking example is given, very effective if two coIors of beads are selected. Take, for instance, gold and dead white beads. Begin with one white, one gold, one white, two gold, one white and one gold.
 Daisies are the prominent feature in both designs illustrated at Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 7 may be used for belt as we'll as a neck chain. Turquoise blue and silver beads produce a charming combination for this pattern. The slides are made, on the loom and are ar ranged in position according to the weaver's fancy. The square design in the center as well as the outer edge is made of blue beads, while the remain ing space is filled with silver beads. If amethyst and gold beads are selected for Fig. 5, an effective arrangement will be acquired.
 Two belts are pictured at Figs. 4 and 5. White crystal beads form the

A LAKE OF SOLID SODA.
Strange Discovery of Major Burn- ham. the Anaerican. In. Africa.

Strange Discovery of Major Burn
 j.. ham, .the American, In Africa.
 Major F. E. Burnhan, the American scout, recently returned to London from another difficult expedition to Africa protectorate and Uganda to. the borders of the Kongo Free State, pene- trating about a thousand niles and ex- ploring much territory that had never before seen a white man. says the Kan sas City Star. The major was accom- panied by several hundred blacks and twenty white men, three of whom died of fever and six were invalided home.
 The most interesting result of the ex- petition was the discovery of a lake of about forty-nine square miles composed almost entirely of pure carbonate of soda, forming a snowlike crust so thick that the party walked across on it. In some places tue chemical is solid clear through to the ground. It is the largest deposit of the kind that has ever been found The lake is fed by mineral springs carrying soda in solu- ton, and the deposit is formed by the evaporation of the water under the burning equatorial sun. In years to come. when the inevitable railroads run through Uganda, this chemical lake will doubtless be of enormous value, but at present it is one of natures in- violable reserve funds
 An active volcano was found at Lake Rudolph, and several others which were busily spouting mud and steam were seen

A NOVEL PHENOMENON.
Dr. w. J. Hammer Has an Ray
 Tube That Sings.

Dr. w. J. Hammer Has an T Ray
 Tube That Sings.
 pr. ". J. Hammer, an electrical en- gineer of New York city, whose stud ies of the phenomena exhibited by vac uum tubes have attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic and who is the author of q book on radium, recent ly made novel observation which may possibly prove significant, says the New York Tribune He noticed that one of these tubes after being ex- cited and then being removed from the influence of any recognized force emit ted faint continuous musical sound for several minutes. 1t might be sug- gested that the effect was purely ther- mai and came from two tiny disks of metal close to each other and constitut- ing one of the terminals inside the tube. This terminal, the S1anticathode," had been, slightly damaged by oyer heating, and small hole had been burned through it.
 Text books on physics describe phe- nomenon similar to that here men toned. It is observed with apparatus known as the Trevelyan rocker Dr. Hammer is convinced, however. that the sound from his tube is not produced in this manner His own theory is that the tube is acted upon by g class of ether waves emitted from some distant source akin to those which have been suggested as possible cause of the radiations of radium. Whatever Dr. Hammers riper judgment in the mat ter or the opinions of other experts, the incident is noteworthy.
