THOSE sHO2T, SHORT SKIRTS

There las been little variety in
the dresses v.Crn by tennis playing
young women in Newport, the only
difference having been in their hats
and wells or the lack Of head cover
ings of any kind. Two exceptions
are the Sherman girls, Miss Irene and
Miss Mildred, who appear in novel
costumes. They are white, of course,
and made of very fine linen, but the
skirts, instead of being the simple
pleated affairs which the other young
women wear, are triple skirts, cut
circular. Tennis skirts are short
anyhow, so skirts divided into three
parts have all effect of extreme short
ness. AS the Misses Sherman are
not tall, the effect has not been so
pleasing that any of the other girls
ave adopted the skirts as yet. The
Kisses Sherman have worn their
ir!pIs skirts long enough now for the

Shawl Making in India

THE manufacture of Kashmir shawls, which
= fifty years ago afforded occupation for
whole villages and thousands of families in
the province of Kashmir, is an almost extinct
industry Formerly the possession of pair
of the genuine Kashmir shawls was the hall
mark Of nobility, or at least of high social
status, among Indian families.
To-day, we are told the cheap limitations
manufactured in the Punjab, and the machine
made article from Europe dyed with aniline
in striking hues and patterns, are supplanting
the hand made shawl of native workmanship.
An occasional order for a couple of shawls at
moderate price, to satisfy the passing whim
of potentate, or the fact that the Maharaja
of Kashmir has few shawl tents which require
repair and renewal, does not suffice to keep
alive the workman or the industry.
The manufacture of the real Kashmir
shawl is almost wholly a manual process.
The material is the soft wool of the Tibetan
goat Hand spindles are used in the prelimi-
nary operation of converting the wool into
yarn. the weaving of the yarn into a texture
of inimitable fneness is done entirely by
hand looms manipulated with the utmost
dexterity; and the colored wooden border is
then interviewer. The dyes are natural and
indelible 1t is believed that the water of
certain lakes and streams in which the shawls
are dipped has virtue to make the colors per-
manent-

Common Errors About Eyes

ONE of the most noteworthy advantages of
~ the present epoch is that sore eyes are
almost unknown likewise cross eyes. Even
so short time a generation ago it was a
common thing to see people of all ages and
conditions with inhamed eyes. AS for strabis-
mus, one does notice of it now and then,
but it is very exceptional
A generation ago cross eyes were regarded
hopeless misfortune. There was nothing
that could be done. A child thus afflicted
was obliged to 60 through life with one eye
looking inward, or outward, as the case might
be. 1t was not only deformity, but mis-
fortune in other ways: for person who is
badly cross eyed sees out of only eye.
Nowadays, however, save in rare instances.
the matter can be set right by simple surgical
operation. 1t is mainly for this reason that
one sees so few persons who are cross eyed,
as compared with few years ago. AS for
sore eyes, they are cured, or prevented, by
glasses which correct the troubles, such as
near sight or astigmatism, which are the cause
of the mischief.
Perhaps the most curious of the many alb
surd popular notions about eyes is that which
causes people to refrain from wearing needed
glasses for the reason that if they once put
them on, they will always have to use them"
In such belief there is only one germ of
truth. When glasses that are needed have
once been adopted, nobody is ever willing to
give them up, simply because the improve
ment of vision, or gain in comfort, is such that
they quickly make themselves indispensa-

Manufacture of Gut Strings

C.ATGUT strings, it is well known, are made
~ of the intestines of sheep. The intestines
of the full grown animal are from forty to
fifty feet long.
The raw material from the stockyards IS
first thoroughly cleansed of fat and heshy
fiber, by dull knives arranged on drum
turned by crank The white tough men,
brane that is left is then handed over to the
splitter, who dexterously splits the material
into even strands by bringing it against the
blade of safety razor set upright in the table
before him. The strands are then spun to-
gether and placed on the drying frames
An American E violin string requires six
strands the European four. The strands, at
one end fastened to an upright post, are
twisted together, while still damp and pliable
by means of spinning wheel. Taken from
the drying frames, the strings are cut in
lengths, cooled, and boxed in oiled paper for ship
ment. To polish the strings, very fine emery
paper, laid on a grooved aluminium block. is
used While the strings are still on the drying
Frame the covered block is passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time as
there are grooves in the block. 1t can be seen
that from the manner in which the strands
are twisted the effect of polishing is to weaken
the string.
In the essential features, the process OF
making the fine gut strings for surgical uses,
or the heavy strings three-eighths of an inch
thick sometimes employed for machinery
betting does not differ from the method en-
ployed in the case of the musical strings, eX-
cept that the latter are handled with more care

The Ultra Microscope

THE ultra microscope is recent device of
science. By its aid it is expected that
many heterogeneous which have hitherto
defed observation will be detected. As the
classification of microbes has advanced, biolo
gists have inclined to the conclusion that
many must still remain unknown, too small
to be perceived with any instrument hitherto
in use.
The new apparatus is the invention of two
Frenchmen, Cotton and Monitor. 1t involves
no change in the existing arrangement of
lenses. 1t is the system Of lighting that is
revolutionized. The ray is used at right angles
to the axis of the instrument, instead of COIN
Gliding with it. Thus the light sweeps across
the objective parallel with its plane.
By this means it is said that many particles
small that they have defied detection under
the most powerful glasses become visible as
brilliant points 1t is a new world, enthusiast
tic microscopes say, that is opened to scien-
tihc study.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

lar ingorance is SO profound as it is in regard
to eyes Never so many people will confess
to wearing glasses for astigmatism: but ask
one of them what astigmatism is and the an
sweI, II any, is random guess: Yet astig-
ture of the cornea, which is set in the front OF
the-eye like watch glass. One often hears
it said that oculists occasionally take out
eyes, clean them, and put them back yet
nothing could be more impossible, without
as it does to all normal eyes at fifty years or
earlier, complaint is made that the sight is
falling, but the. fact is that the eyes are
as good as ever, but need mild convex glasses
to help the focus at the near point. Cataract
is supposed to be film over the eye, whereas
it is really an opacity of the crystalline lens
behind the pupil To such absurd beliefs, in
deed, there is no end.

Origin of Precious Ores

MEN sometimes dream of enormous wealth
AVA stored deep in the earth, below the reach
of miners: but according to an eminent geolo-
gist there is little or no ground to believe that
valuable metallic deposits lie very deep in
the earths crust.
Such deposits, according to this authority
are made by underground waters, and, owing
to the pressure on the rocks at great depths.
the waters are confined to a shell near the
surface. With few exceptions, ore deposits
become too lean to repay working below three
thousand feet. Nine mines in ten, taking the
world as whole, are poorer in the second
thousand feet than in the first thousand and
poorer yet in the third thousand than in the
second.

will arise regret as you watch the
groves that shielded you from the
heat turn to yellow and reti, and fall

the flowers drcop In death, yielding
to the srost. You will think of the
happy summer vacation days spent
among the trees, Of the moving
whisper OF leaves and the dashes OF
sunshine that shot through the i'm

will remember the summer night
with its gentle sounds, ~ you sat

as you listened to the soft music nat
ure made, and looked on through the
moonlight that ended In asilyer haze.
