suits-and the touches of mascul1ntty
that were wont to creep into feminine
apparel have. entirely disappeared.
Woman is no longer tailor-made, and
one of the economic results of this
change is the ruin of the ladies' tailor.
The Imagination cannot picture man
in the act of making any part of one OF
these new creations, and the fact is that
no man does The Fifth avenue ladies'
tailors are going out Of business one by
one Except for riding habits there is
nothing for them to make, and automo-
billing has cut SO seriously into outdoor
entertainment that riding habits are not
so much in demand as they were. The
change in Fifth avenue is great, but it
is not so great as the change in the ap-
pearance of the fashionable women. 1t
is just as true that questionable wom-
en- show the change. The shop girls re-
feet these new ultra-feminine styles in
clothes that are by no means so well
adapted for business as the former
tailor made suits.
Among new feminine fads is that for
tanned" hair. Il Tanned compilations
have been In favor for some time. So
long as physical culture is fashionable
I suppose that all the signs of outdoor
life will be fashionable also. But tanned
hair Is new. There are tricks about
washing the hair and drying it in the
sun which keep the tanning from being
streaky and make 1t Shaded" And this
is the necessary shaded" hair.

INSECTS LURED BY LIGHT.
Numerous Species Of Bugs Afford

:H Interesting results have followed the
introduction of the electric light in the
streets of Port of Spain, Trinidad: The
largely populated insect world Of that
region had never before seen such bril-
liant illumination as the arc lights Of
fered, and they have shown great curb
osity, says the New York Sun. n
Every morning the ground under the
lamps is found to be strewn with thou
sands of dead insects of many varieties.
1t is impossible to walk without treading
on them. :. - -....s,... '..-, -
If the supply Of insects were not mex
haustible, some of the varieties would
certainly be doomed to extinction. In
fact, one kind is evidently less numerous
now than before the electric lights were
installed. m , +.... 81.
This is kind of giant waterbug, of
which such incredible numbers werede-
stroyed that the bug has come to be gen.
orally known as the electric beetle The
lamps are no longer visited by the
crowds of these bugs that at first came
to inquire into the meaning of the
strange brilliance. Either the species
has been greatly depleted through the
destruction of many thousands of its
members, or else some kind of instinct
has told them that arc lamps are danger
GUS things to NEEDLE with. - -
The owls in their wisdom have learned
to profit by the fascination which the
arc lamp has for insects. AS the illum-
1nation is turned on at nightfall the owls
may be seen vending their way to the
neighborhood of the lamps, for they have
discovered that thei~ prey is more
abundant there than anywhere else.
The feast is spread before them and all
they have to do is to dash out from the
trees and capture d moth or beetle
that is wfnging it's way to~the dazzling
goal Then the owls return to their
perches and wait for the next conner.
The bats also have learned to make
use of the lights in this unsportsman-
like manner, for catching moths and
other insects .. 49,
Not few explorers in tropical regions
have complained that it is impossible
to have light in camp during the night
without mourning unpleasant visitations
from myriads of insects. H. One of them
recently wrote that he was often forced
to dine in the dark. as an attempt to use
light attracted swarms of flies which
got into his eyes and dropped into his
food.
The naturalist, Eugene Andre, in his
recent description of journeys in the ORR
noco basin, found that. he could carry
on his work Of collecting insects at night
by the use Of lights. One evening an as
sistant took number of flashlight
photographs by using the magnesium
light. s....4 -. 49,. ,... !
An invasion of the camp by moths and
other insects at once occurred, and An
DIRE secured more than 100 specimens.
On the following morning he found the
singed and mutilated remains of many
others that had persisted miserably
lured by the strange spell which a bright
light casts upon them. -

OF them, are women, young women and
pretty women at that, says the Washing

And how the. people do visit there!
Three thousand a week, said a guide
That's 500a day And that one q min
ute for every working hour of the day.
Pretty constant stream of callers that.
Not 50 many years ago three decrepit
old men were the guides. Now.the seven
are women. which is significant, and one
that typifes the work done ii the bureau,
for here, Of the 5000 employees, more
than half are Of the feminine persuasion.
These young and good looking guides
will explain: how American money is
printed on the back, then put in cold
storage, where it goes through drying
process; then sorted and the imperfect
sheets thrown out; then printed on the
face, and then perforated and put up
in packages to be sent to the treasury
for the government seal. .t.@ e. !!
They generally tell how useless it
would" be for any one to try to rob, the
wagon containing this money. In the
first place, because six guards-always ac-
company It; and, in the second place,
because, the money at this stage Of its
manufacture wouldn't be any good, any
way A+ IL s - - T.,
Tits seven,days after bill is printed
on its back before it is printed on the
face said the visitor s guide. =-e-It takes
80 days to make silver dollar bill, and
40 to make gold one. The gold one is
printed three times, twice on one side,
because it has to have the word gold
and q; little splotch Of gold on this side
before the face can be printed" j.:
Then she led the visitor to the framed
dollar bill fastened to one Of the walls in
the hall, and showed these bills, calling
special attention to the gold certificate,
and then led the way back to the front
door and said adieu. It was all over in
ten minutes. -.

roofs. How many do so, and under
what circumstances they do so, no one
class is prone to suspect. OF course, one
half doesn't know how the other half
lives, and it is a good thing for each
half that it remains in this condition OF
ignorance. If the halt that goes to the
roof gardens knew the squalid misery
of those who sleep on the roofs 1t might
faint their appetites. And If the roof
dwellers of the East side land other
sides) knew about the cushioned in
dulgenoes of the roof garden thousands,
the knowledge might make their thirst
a little harsher and their tin beds
trifle harder. The contrast is indeed
violent enough. Under the stars in one
quarter are the lucky, who can loll
in comfortable seats, listening to gay
music, watching the best that modern
vaudeville can do to amuse, drinking
iced drinks from tall glasses. These IA
vored are carried to and from the street
levels in easy elevators, and to and from
their homes in devil wagons. Under the
stars in another place, heat-bedraggled
tenement crowds are climbing to the
roofs, roofs still radiating the heat of
the blistering sun, with cheap pillows
and maybe an occasional tattered
blanket, to stretch themselves on the
tin or the Slated, clothes-drying in
closure. At midnight both phases of
life are to be found at the same time.
At one in the morning the arching
lights of the roof gardens have disap-
peared. Who shall say that after that
the roof sleepers always have the worst
of It? There are hot rooms in the best
houses and best hotels in New York.
