AMERICAN WOMEN GOLFERS
Welcomed on Their Merits Among the
Best Players of Their Sex
in the World.

The American woman has made her
way in golf as in everything else she
has undertaken. 1t was very short
time ago that she began to play the
royal and ancient game. At first she
was given toy links of her own. Then
she was admitted to the regulation
courses on sufferance, Now she is well
coined on her merits as golfer. In fact,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the best
OF the women players can give sound
beating to all but the best of the men
players.
Not only that, but the woman golfer
has arrived at the dignity of book of
instruction of her own Hitherto the
golf books have been written by men
for men. Now Genevieve Hecker, the
national woman champion (now Mrs.
Charles T. Stout, has written Golf for
Women" The work also contains a
chapter on Impressions of American
Golf by Rhona X. Adair, the English
and Irish champion, who visited this
country last year.
Many have raised the question
whether golf was not a passing fad with
the American woman, as was the bicy-
Gle few years ago. The author be-
lieves that the enthusiasm of woman
is genuine this time, and that golf will
not be allowed to fall into the oblivion
that has hitherto been the fate of all
sports which have in turn been the fad
of the hour
Miss Adair says some very nice things
about American women golfers. The
thing that impressed her most is the grit
of our women. They play an uphill
game cheerfully, and fight it out to the
end. She thinks they rise to a bad sit
uation better than English, Irish, or
Scotch women, and adds: "This is the
spirit that wins golf Matches"
She also found here spirit of good
fellowship" in matches that is often
quite lacking abroad. In other words.
Miss Adair found the American woman
the same thorough sportsman" that
the American man is, land this" she
says, lis one of the most charming fea-
lures of American tournaments" AS
to relative skill, she thinks our best
women players will push the best Brit
lsh women players to the top of their
game.
Miss Adair's remarks are important
for the reason that they show that
American women golfers have gone at
the game in the right spirit and are de-
veloplng high order of skill. This
being the case, their enthusiasm is much
more apt to be lasting and their deyo-
ton to the game permanent.
Onquestionably, golf has done great
deal Tor Women-physically, mentally
and morally. The physical benefits are
observable at a glance. AS to mental
growth golf is an intellectual game in
that it requires concentration and per-
slstent application. From the moral
standpoint it teaches strict honesty, re-
spect for the rights of others, and other
things that go to give women a. more
complete development.

means OF reuniting them," they said:
| But there was no happiness in it for
him. AS each day involved him deeper
in the. web of deceit, he grew miserably
unhappy and hollow-eyed. Night after
night he paced his room, sleep1ess, re-
| volving plans for extricating himself
as soon as she grew little stronger.
But day after day he was compelled
| to keep up the good work he had be-
| gun. He spent hours with her daily,
smiling, talking, listening to her fond,
weak voice as she bantered him play
fully on his wretched looks.
"You are dear, silly, boy, to worry
yourself thin over me now, when I am
sure of getting well,'' she would say,
and then to take his thoughts from
her, she would insist upon his telling
her of his life out west.
She grew better daily, and seemed
perfectly happy in his presence. He
never f1inched from the daily ordeal;
but he resolved desperately that just
as soon as she was strong enough to
bear it, he would end it ALL She should
know the whole truth about Helen,
even as Helen knew it about her. Hell
ems love had stood the test, and chung
to him in spite of all. What if Alice
did the same? There was the anxiety
that was wearing him out. If he could
but make her understand how COM
pletely dead his love for her was; how
he really doubted now if it had ever
existed; If she would see how COM
pletely they had changed places, sure
ly she would set him free without
making scene If not
And while he was worrying over the
situation, an odd struggle was going on
in Alice's perverse little heart, under
all the childish patter of talk and teas
ing. One day it proved too much fo&
her slender resolution. She took him
off to a quiet corner of the garden,
down the walk where they had parted
and there she confessed.
II did long for you, the comfort your
return and presence brought undoubt-
eddy did save my life. And now I can
only repay you with ingratitude. The
old doubts and dislikes are creeping
back, stronger every day. I've tried
very hard to be nice to you, did not
want to break your heart second
time. But it is no use, Alan. And I
can't marry you now, any more than
could then"
The pretty face was full of trouble
and sincere pity for him. She was full
ly recovered. He had intended to have
an understanding with her in day or
two. And now
Well, he told her the truth, as he
had meant to do. On first impulse.
because he thought she deserved It
for all the trouble she had caused him.
On second, because he wanted her to
share his satisfaction in the outcome.
He hardly thought it would be fair to
go away and leave her under the i'm
preston that his heart really was
broken over again.
They both had enough sense of the
humor of the situation to laugh. Then
he took the first train west.-N. O.

Long prior, however, to the red
stone pipe, the Indians fashioned pipes
of clay, which they modelled, then
baked. 1t is wonderful what skill and
taste they showed. Many of these
pipes have been found in burial
mounds. Some show not alone GER
tain niceness of form, but testify to
the skill Of those exercising the pot
ter's art. The Iroquan group must
have been very particular as to the
form of their pipes from such speci-
mems as they have left behind them.

BRUNE-TURCHI SEPARATOR.
New System for Simultaneous Tele.

on the Same Wire.

new system for simultaneous tele-
graphing and telephoning on the same
wire is at present being discussed in
the Italian technical press The sys-
TEN, says the Scientific American, has
been tested with most satisfactory re-
suits on the Rome-Venice TELEGRAPH
line, but no particulars as to the prin-
clples it is based upon had so far been
forthcoming. Now, in the May issue
or the Elettriciata, Prof. A. Banti gives
short description of the apparatus
devised by Prof Bruno and Signor
Turchi. The problem the two inven-
tors had to solve may be stated as fol-
lows: Two alternate currents of differ
ent frequencies traversing one same
current, being given, to eliminate the
eHect of either of them
IN the present case, we have the tele-
phone current and an induced current
due to the telegraph current, both ex-
nloltlng an alternate character, but
each being of different frequency, the
eHect OF the induced current being the
one to be annihilated.
IL oluer 10 snow how 1t Is possible
TO attain this, the author considers a
closed circuit, certain section of
which is divided into two branches of
equal ohmlc resistance, forming a diff
ferentlal coil wound on a weak iron
core. Assuming that the two differen-
tlal branches have different imped-
ances, it will be understood that with a
current of given frequency it is possi-
bic to regulate the two impedances, so
as to have in the core resultant f1ux
equal to zero. If, therefore, two cur
rents of frequencies al and az be passed

MAN AND HIS MISSION.

Across the field the farmer goes
Behind his plodding mare:
he streaks the soil with crooked rows,
And he is bent by care
The blackbirds gossip in the trees,
Perhaps in their opinion he's
But serving them out there
His yellow trousers sag because
OF service they have done;
His whiskers tumble DER his Jaws,
Much faded by the sun.
Upon the fence two chipmunks play,
And who can tell how useful they
May think him as they run?
His muddy boots are coarse and hard
And all run down behind:
by toll lis hands are sadly SCARED,
His brow is deeply lined
TWO beetles where he lately passed
May think his toiing. first and last,
Is for their peace Of mind.
Men think the world was set aside
For their especial need;
The boundaries that they provide
Are fixed through strength and greed:
But in the trees and meath the sod
The notion may prevail that God
Sent men to furnish feed,
And only that, indeed.

Very different are our modes of to-

the full gagged skirt hanging in grace

pie muslin gowns suitable for the debu-
tante's wear. One is in cream pin
spotted muslin, the skirt Of which is
gagged in at the waist and then inserted
with plated muslin edged on either side
with tiny ruchings of blue bebe ribbon.
These insertions become fuller and
wider as they near the feet, finishing at
last in a mass of billowy frills: as the
wearer lifts her frock one catches
glimpses of a much bef1ounced blue glace
petticoat. The bodice fastens at the
back, and is adorned with scroll pat
tern of plated muslin edged with the bebe
ribbon ruching; above this is deep yoke
shaped empiecement of purest white
dentelle 1rlandaise, lined only with
chiffon. The elbow sleeves are finished
with ruchings and plaitings. This is to

termed separator by the inventors.
The separation, as stated above. is
obtained for currents of alternate char

Of them being a telegraph current, the
frequency of which may range be-
tween rather extensive limits, it will
be necessary, in order to obtain the
separation, that the latter should have
frequency included between the
above limits; otherwise the corre-
spending telegraphic frequencies would
be, as we'll, eliminated
1t may finally be understood, as
clearly shown by an analytical discus
sion of the problem, that the separator
will eliminate not only the effects of
current of one single frequency, but
those of certain number of frequen-
cies as we'll, all of which are very near
the theoretical frequency, producing a
perfect compensation. For frequencies
scarcely different from this theoretical
frequency the effects on the membrane
will, in fact, be very small, on account
of the inertia OF the latter.

periods. Now, as the Brune-Turch1
separator is capable of annihilating
the effects of currents having frequen-
cies as high as 200 periods, if in any
circuit induced telephone currents
with frequencies of the order above
stated and Geographic currents (the
frequencies of which, as is known, are
much superior to 200 periods) are
present at the same time, the separator
will annihilate the effects of the for

tive; in other words, the Geographic
transmission will in no way disturb
the telephone transmission.
The scheme of the arrangement
adopted by the inventors is sketched
in Fig. 1. One of the three winnings

with the telegraph line, one of the
other two windings being uaed for the

BLACKED DICKENS EYE.
southern Landlord Who Left His
Mark on the Famous Eng
lish Writer.

Josh Hutchinson, who for IS wears
has been head bellboy at the Gait
house, is down and out from physical
allment, relates recent issue of the
Louisville Herald. He is the most
original character among the Louis
Vile bellboys, and was in the hotel
on the day that Col. Throckmorton had
his famous set-to with Charles Dick
ems. Dickens was writing in his room
and Col. Throckmorton, courtly
southern gentleman, thought he would
go to the room and see if he could not
assist in giving Dickens all the COM
forts of the hotel.
The landlord went to the room of
the great writer and knocked at the
door.
Come in,' said Dickens grufly.
Looking up he saw Throckmorton.
well, what do you want?" he asked
gruft1y, for he had his English ideas
about the standing Of an innkeeper.
Il thought I would ask if there was
anything I could do for your
mo, not a thing!" Dickens an
swered, churllshly, not looking up from
his writing.
Col. Throckmorton was growing
heated about the collar at this time.
However, he thought he had been mis-
understood, and again asked Dickens
it there was anything that he could do
70, him.

swered Dickens, growing excited and
gazing at the landlord as If he were
a bellboy. IF there is anything /

That was enough. Col. Throckmor-
ton walked quickly over to Dickens,
grasped his coat collar and pulled him
out Of the chair. Dickens manuscript
fell all over the floor and the ink spat-
tered on the carpet. He was game,
however, and the men fought all over
the room.

NEW JERSEY MANS DEVICE.
Said to Secure Electricity Direct from
Coal Through the Use of
Dynelectron.

In recent issue of Electricity there
appeared an article taken from one of
the daily papers describing an inven-
ton for generating electricity direct
from fuel. The inventor, resident of
Newark, N. j., is elated, as he deems
his invention perfected This problem
OF obtaining power from coal, and do
ing away with expensive and cumberous
machinery, is one that inventors and
scientists the world over have been for
years endeavoring to solve. Whoever
accomplishes it successfully and de-
signs an apparatus that is practical will
be the means of revolutionizing the ex-
isting methods of generating motive
power But unless this Newark genius
has finally hit upon the proper combi-
nation of elements the problem is far
from solved. Thermopiles have been
brought out in the past, for which great
pearances accomplished striking re-
suits in small way. When, however,
more was required of them than the
operation of an electric fan or doorbell,
fatal defects made their appearance
The internal resistance was too great
and the alloys made use of became OK
ldlzed. The Newark inventor claims
the efficiency of his apparatus, which he
calls a dynelectron, is As per cent, as
compared to eight and one-half per cent
when electric current is generated by
means Of the steam engine. 1t is to
be hoped that tho dynelectron will be
able to accomplish what the steam en-
CINE and dynamo now do not, but until
such is actually proved to be the case,
we are inclined to be rather skeptical

Two More New Elements.

Prof. Charles Baskerville, of the Uni
verify of North Carlonia( has discovered
two new chemical elements, allied to
thorium, from which the nantes ct
Welsbach burners are derived. He has
named one of them carolinium, in honor
of his state, and the other berzelium,
after the name of the great Swedish
chemist, Berzelius. Both the new ele-
ments are radioactive, giving off rays
that penetrate metals, wood and other
substances, and that are capable of pro-
ducing Photographic and visible light
effects. Like other radioactive ele-
ments, they are Of high atomic weight.
Prof. Baskerville has been on the
track of these new elements for several
years.

season. Many kinds of trimming are
made of shaded panne and velvet leaves

Sumptuous dressing is the order Of
the day, for we have vertically returned
to the styles in vogue in the days of the
French empire. We see how little the
heart Of woman has changed when it
comes to question of beautiful
clothes as displayed in the leading ate
Tiers of the Rue de Ia Paix. It seems
to me that neither English, French nor
American women are in the least con-
sidering the cost of their best frocks, by
which mean the toilette de reception
and the evening gown. They do, how
ever, affect delightfully."- chic simplic-
ity in the wearing of linens and white
serge for the mornings, but their even
ing toilettes are really splendid crea-
tions
Twill tell you now of simple evening
gown worn by well-known debutante.
It is composed OF white silk muslin,
gagged in at the waist, and finished
down the front by quaint little ruches
of white taffeta, a thicker ruching also
appears at the feet, headed by narrow
border of pearl trimming. The bebe
bodice is trimmed with ruchings of silk,
and the decolletage is outlined with the
pearl trimming, which rests on the neck.
The sleeves are nothing more than early
Victorian puffs, and round the waist is
very wide sash Of Romaney blue satin.
There is, without doubt, a growing
fancy for green in beautiful soft shades.
Consequently emeralds are gaining in
favor, and we also see other curious
green stones. Jewels are mostly in
Louis XIV. settings, varied by wonder

mems of Italian enamel. We Parisians
are great admirers Of Italian art; and
many of the newest models Of tea gowns
are sufficient witness to this.
