Promise to Harness the Waves.

Who will harness the ocean? Ap-
paratus whereby the waves can be
hitched to machinery and made to fur
nish motor power for all human needs
is promised shortly to be perfected.
The invention consists of one or more
barges launched upon the shore as to
be always in deep water, where they
will operate uniformly in all weather.
Along the bottom of each float runs a
metal track upon which are two little
cars. n at each end, bearing heavy
weights. The cars are connected by a
rod and as the boat rocks they roll
back and forth along the track, at the
same time operating a pair CT pistons
which compress air, and through a
tube furnish pneumatic power Cd
Grating machinery upon shore. The
pumping mechanism also may be
adapted to suck water from under the
boat and pipe it to shore in a steady
stream with sufficient force to on
crate a water motor on the beach.
Thus is power had without ecourse

Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure

To the eye Of the artist the gar.

tolerable when age has al adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average artist a new suit of
clothes is an abomination.

more ugly than DID," said a knight of
the palette who discussed the ques-
ton; Ito my mind no n can be prop
erly easy or graceful in them.
L never feel that 1 properly know a

old suit. Certainly no man can posi-
bly, be his natural self in evening
dress.
Il have noticed again and again
how different the same people are
when wearing different clothes. I
went, for instance, to a large family
gathering some time ago, and for
some reason everybody had donned
full evening dress. What a differ
it made! We were all on terms
of intimate friend ship, but somehow
the clothes brought in an element of
GOODNESS AID formality. We all felt
it-even the women, although, Of
course, the fair sex are not easily per.
