A Transparent Mirror.

Mr. Richard Wilson, New York, has
recently invented a mirror which re-
fleets images or is transparent accord
ing tnthe amount of light in the back
ground, that is. when the background
is darkeneo the glass is perfect mir
ror rejecting objects in front of it,
but when the background is lighted
one can readily see objects through
the glass. The inventor proposes to
use the mirror for Elusive stage eff
fects or in show windows as an adver-
Using medium. The darkened back
ground of the show window win be
Illuminated at intervals by automatic
means acting upon an electric lamp,
so that shoppers who stop at the win
dow to gaze at their reflection in the
mirror Will be surprised to have their
images suddenly disappear, and see in
their stead the latest thing in Paris
fashions or the like.

pleasing impartiality, seldom il ever
sees or hears of the thousand and
one peculiarities and ODDITIES of GUS
toms that are in vogue in the various
towns and villages through which he
has made his gaping way. 1t is only
after long residence and a familiarity
with the languages that these are
brought to ones attention, while even
then many may be missed, for the
Swiss are too phlegmatic a people to
draw attention to their own little lido
syncrasies.
Take, for instance. the custom of
annexing the wifes maiden name to
that of her husband by means of a
hyphen. Then signs over the shops
are generally lettered in that way, and
one may read over the door of a con-
fectioner, Arnold Wiesendanger-
