HEART PULSATlONS.
Combining of kaleidoscope with x

possibility being made to mankind if
the experiments now being made by
DR.. NJ. K. kassabian. of PHILADELPHIA
are successful.
The result is to be reached by the
combination Of powerful Roentgen
ray and specially contrived photo
raphic apparatus operated on the
principle Of the kaleidoscope. This ma
chine. if constructed would be so
timed as to correspond with the pulsa-
tons of the normal human heart
The proposal to thus lay bare the
innermost secrets of anatomy was sug-
gested by DR.. Kassabian in paper
read before the convention of the
American Roentgen Ray society in
Houston hall, University of Pennsyl-
varia. 1t aroused instant attention
and has been the subject of widespread
comment.
DR.. kassabian was disinclined to pre-
diCtiOns when interviewed, but he is
earnest in his opinion of its feasibility
Thus far his experiments have con-
vinccd him the only problem lies in the
construction of Photographic ma
chine adapted to the work.
The advance in X-ray appliances,
said DR.. kassabian. together with the
skill now being shown in the operation
of the machines, makes the moving
picture of the hearts action entirely
practical Formerly single X-ray
photograph took from two to four min
utes. Now it can be secured in a Sec
ond or less. The pulsation of the nor
NAL heart is - strokes to the minute.
A Photographic machine on the kinet-
oscope principle would show the dila-
ton and contraction of the heart and
the action of the diaphragm with

heart am quite convinced of the
feasibility of such photographs.
LAS it stands now we have only a
single view Of the heart. and as the
photograph might be taken during
either contraction or distention we can

size. consider the idea entirely feast

A further possibility of the machine
is the recording by the watch how va.

Then there is the question of using
lace. The lace cOatee is permissible on
ever so many occasions, but with sale
remnants it is question of cutting your
coat according to your cloth. Therefore.
according to the amount OF lace at your
disposal, you can have short coatee. a
three-quarter length coat, and, for even
ing wear, long overcoat of lace and
chiffon, fully as long as the train of
your trock. The latter will probably
not be made out Of sale remnant.
Net is a good substitute for lace, but it
requires a chiffon lining. Then there are
pretty grenadines which always seem to
be offered at such extremely moderate
prices. These are charming for the
loose empire teagoWn which is always
in vogue, with it's wide knotted sash Of

Accomplishments Of Mrs, Arthur

Neutrality-suspicious. of the cleverest
women in Washington is Mrs. Arthur

throughout the maritime world. In
this short sketch, l can only tell of a
few things she has done. For 16 years
she has calculated the ephemeris of
the sun for nautical almanac published
every year by the United States gov

genius makes, and she has never made
an error in them! She secured the

Trapping the Andean Condor.

Anyone who has ever watched heavy
bird rise from the ground has doubt
less noticed that it runs along the ground
for few feet before it rises; the bird
must acquire some momentum before
its wings can lift its heavy body into the
air. The natives in certain parts OF the
Andes understand this fact very we'll and
by means Of it catch the great Andean
vultures, the condors. A small space is
shut in with high fence and left open
at the top. Then lamb or piece OF
carrion is placed on the ground inside.
Presently a vulture sees the bait and
swoops down upon it, but when once he
finds he has alighted on the ground in
side he cannot get out, for he has no rum
ming space in which to acquire the mo-
mentum that is necessary before his
wings can lift him.

but it remains to be seen how the buyers
; take them up.
The lace drapery veil, or piece lace
put on a hat so as to simulate this idea
is prominent and novel in the French
millinery. 1t is this graceful drapery
idea which will be much seen at Nice
and Monte Carlo during the next few
weeks. and it is at those watering places
that the typical new fashions for spring
are first worn.
One material laid on another by way
of trimming is a marked feature of the
fashion OF the day. Cloth bands or APP
pliQue designs of cloth on velvet gowns,
or the precise reverse, velvet cut out in
points or patterns laid upon cloth, or
silk used for edging CLOTH or bands OF
cloth, looking a little out of place in
themselves, but Individually up to date,
on silk skirts-here is fancy of the mo-
ment which is likely to maintain its
popularity. Such decoration is seen on
the capes or collars or pelerines of the
bodices, as we'll as in the shape of bands
round or down the skirts. In the last
mentioned situation, too, scallops of the.
material of the gown, bound round with
the trimming fabric, as. for instance,
cloth edged with silk, are adopted. Rib
bon makes good strappings or bands,
and can be had in such variety that there
is no difficulty in meeting the require
ments in the way of color or relief of the,
dress material.
The average woman will certainly
want blue serge for the morning, and a
black cloth frock of some sort for the
afternoons at this time of year. Brown,
OF course, is some women's color, and
then it may we'll take the place of black;
but dress of dark hue is necessity, at
any rate for those who live in London.
1t is good news to the woman who has
to make the question of utility her frs:
consideration, that Parisians will be
wearing a great deal Of black, and
touches of black on almost everything.

the leading characteristics OF trimmings
for hats. In flowers, crushed roses and
the smaller varieties of pompadour roses
will be much used. Wreaths promise
we'll.
The style idea regarding flowers will
be the combination of two colors and
two kinds of blossoms. This new idea
will be serious rival to that of the
shaded effects in flowers. The new
French wreaths show this shaded eff

cherry to dark cardinal, pink roses
from white 70 pale pink, and so through
the gamut of shades and colors.
The prospects for ribbons as mil
linery trimming are more encouraging
than they have been for some seasons.
So far, it is always flat-ribbon trim
ming, which is generally used in con-
junction with flowers. Soft ribbons and
delicate soft colors are the chief ideas
Shaded ribbons are used to some extent.

Washington the most beautiful

is INTELLECTUALLY in keeping with the
standing of the nation among the
world powers, is the dream of Frank

note, and man Of sufficient means to
make his calling a pleasure rather than
a commercial occupation
He has been figuring on an ideal
Washington for several years, and
though his plans meet with but slow
recognition from congress, he is not
discouraged and feels that he can af-
ford to wait for results. He has two
schemes on foot which, if he is able
to work out, will make Washington
the most beautiful capital on the globe.
He has already spent at least 100000
in bringing these plans to perfection.
Congress has already appropriated
money to buy land on which to build

modelled hall of records somewhat
after the style of the tabularium of
Julius Caesar at Rome.
The other plan is the outgroWth of
the halls of the ancients erected in this
city by Mr.. Smith and another public
spirited citizen. 1t is to erect on the
old naval observatory site a reproduce
ton of the most famous temples of an
tiquity, beginning with the Partheuon.
The group will show Assyrian, Egyp-
tan, Moorish and all the distinctive
styles of ancient and modern architec-
ture. 1t will be an important educa-
tional factor in the growth of the ma
tons capital and if Mr.. Smiths plan,
which has received the endorsement of
Senator Hoar and other leading sena-
tors, is carried out the tourists of the
old world will come here to see a most

Crowds throng both buildings during
the entire afternoon of Sunday and
they are not all foreigners by any
means! In fact, it is about the only
time the government clerks have for
enjoying the advantages offered by
both institutions and they make the
most of it. The librarian of congress
had to put an extra force Of clerks on
Sunday afternoon, and it is sometimes
almost impossible to elbow your way
through the crowds in the main gall

theaters, too, are frequently opened
here on Sunday evenings for the rem
