Looking Ahead.



The really great dressmaking houses are.
of course perfectly to be relied On to do
this. as they already know exactly what
will be worn in the autumn. But there Is
a good deal Of difficulty In the way Of the
woman who desires to be we'll dressed and
yet through q smaller dress allowance has
to instruct her dressmaker and tailor in
what they are to make for her. This year
particularly must she be wary. A very
definite alteration is absolutely certain. Ths
fashions of this summer have been far too
marked to enjoy a long life and have been
more universally seized upon by the manu-
facturer Of the cheap ready-made than al
most any other that have been within our
recollection
Though undoubtedly the sloping shoulder
has come to stay for some time. anything
approaching to kimono over bodces or
braces will be quite extinct with the first
breath Of autumn. The figure will be more
defined. the sleeves all closer and longer.
except in complete contradiction. those of
long coats and cioaks. which will be more
voluminous than ever. The puff is already
banished in Paris. and though during the
hot weather the sleeves will remain short.
they are all made IN small dTaperies or
folds and entirely without friils.

Well Of Soda Water.

From the Scientific American.
One of the most interesting and novel
gushing wells in the world. and perhaps
without a rival In either respect. is a gey-
ser of soda water that recently came up
at Vending. just across the Mendocino
county border from Sonoma, Cal.
This we'll produces soda water-genuine
soda water-and OF u quality that would
warrant bottling for the general trade in
such quantities as were never struck be-
fore There is 50 much of this water that
/. Is turned into a huge long flume and
used to float great logs from the forest to
the lumber mills
An artesan well borer was recently en-
ployed to secure an adequate water supply
for a large sawmill in that region. He
drilled to q depth Of 200 feet, the lower no
feet being through solid granite. Then a
slight trace of water was found. The ar
tesian man then placed fiftyfour sticks of
dynamite at the bottom Of the well and
exploded them.
Instantly water gushed up. rising twenty
feet above the surface of the ground
pouring forth in enormous volume. That
was days ago. and since then there has
been no indication of a cessation Of this
vast natural soda fountain

known that at Lncca. where she owned a

fohdness for the animals caused her on
one occasion to give a meal of bread,

About Siam.

rioW Tue tnichgO NEWS
Slam was among the last of the nations to
feel the influence Of western civilization.
How easy 1t might have been otherwise In
the land of the white elephant Is proved
from the records OF the British East India
Company. 1t appears that in 1884 the COM
pany suffered very considerable" losses
from an abscondIng servant in a mean po-
sition. who took with him a large sum Of
cash with which he bribed the King Of
Siam. The servant was Cephalonian
Greek. He became prime minister of the
country and sent out in a British vessel an
embassy to the French monarch.
In consequence of this embassy say the
East India Companys records. "Messrs.
Ceberet and La Loubere were dispatched as
ambassadors to Siam. They solicited the
king to embrace the Roman Catholic rei-
gion In this request they were the more
urgent from learning that an envoy had
rived from the court of Persia to convert
him to the Mahometan faith" The Siam
csc monarch however. remained faithful
to his own creed. but was wise enough to
enter into strict alliance with the French.

door," all nations being allowed freely to
enter the ports and to buy land and build
houses. All monopoles were annulled.
Since then Slam has started on the road TO

BEES MAKE FRUIT GROW.
Miracle Wrought in a Barren Orchard
by Bee Colonies.

From Suburban Life.
Honey producing is only one of the mis-
sions of the bee. Indeed. for actual profit
the honey is but minor item.
Some years ago l moved to a small place
I'D the Hudson river. l wanted u bee farm
and selected for that purpose a spot among
apple, cherry and plum trees, some OF
which had never borne fruit others none
for years past. My landlord told me
might cut down certain trees. as they were
worthless and he intended putting out some
fine nursery stock.
Being busy did not cut the trees down.
They blossomed freely and of course we
paid no further heed to them than to break
floral decorations.
The cherry trees were, much to the
owners establishment loaded with very
large. perfect fruit. He could not under
stand 1t: such thing had not happened for
years
Early in the autumn while waiting for a
swarm of bees to settle l observed a number
OF fine apples upon one of the smaller con-
demned trees. When the landlords -atten-
ton called to them he was compile :ely
mystified and called in his neighbors to see
the wonder. Later We gathered from this
tree nearly a barrel of the finest fall pip
pins ever seen in that vicinity.
No argument would convince the man
that them pesky bees" had anything to
do with the Weld Of fruit on the place. He
insisted that some sort of fertilizer must
have been used.
Since that time / have demonstrated by
scores of experiments that trees which had
for many seasons borne little good fruit. or
possibly none at all. have been brought up
to a high standard of productiyeness by the
presence of bees. They carried the pollen
fortified the blossoms and a bountifui har-
vest was the result.

written. "the japanese can smile in the
teeth of death, and usually does"
Some day the workers of Japan Will rise
and will demand for themselves the same
rights and privileges already conceded to
their fellow workers in the west-but the
day Is not yet. Before that time comes
Japan will have dispeiled once for all the
illusion that she is a trifier in toy lanterns
and paper fans and will have vndicated
her claim to be regarded as one OF the
