HAMILToN's OPENING.
A Head-liner in Yesterdays Herald Comes in Opportune for Buyers.

That Hamilton & Co.'S fall opening, which is announced in to-day's Jour nal and Courier, and which starts this morning, will not only be the mecca of fashion seeking ladies of New Haven but of those all over the state. goes without saying. These formal open ings have become prominent annual
 ats in society circles, looked for ward to anxiously and never disap- pointing,
 While the beautiful garments dis played are the great attraction 1t is but due the firm to make passing com ment on the lavish expenditure and exceeding skiu and taste shown in the renovation and arrangement of their combined stores They are very neat and very attractive. The results of MT. Hamilton's personal visits and se- lections in the great fashion centers of Europe-London, Paris, Berlin and Vinna-are always eagerly sought out at these opening displays, They not l only represent foreign art but also MT. | Hamilton's ideas of the most practical and most worthy.
 In this connection the following 1 head liner and sub-head in yester- days N. Y. Herald is noteworthy: "Shopkeepers kill the golden goose. Millions taken to London, but little of | the tourists money remains there. Two prices the fault Americans boy cott dealers who add to the cost of their goods for foreign customers"
 It Is a statement like this that tends to give due significance and proper ap- preciation to the fixed principle that has governed Hamilton & Co. from their very start in New Haven, viz,, of marking the price of every garment in their store in plain figures; whether 1t be modest little waist for dollar or two, or the most elaborate evening gown or the choicest and most perfect fur coat whose prices run up into the hundreds.
 It is perhaps needless to add that while every department at these form.
 al openings is replete, the space does
 not permit of showing all the various garments, especially the finer ones | is the appearance and display of these other garments day by day that make
 recurring visits during the opening week equally interesting.

A HISTORY OF PHYSICS.
There is None on a Large Scale, and
One Is Needed.

There are great histories of mathe-
mates and great histories Of astron
omy, but no history of physics on
ground scale. Some seryiceable man.
uals there are, as we'll as monographs
on particular topics; what seems to
be lacking is some comprehensive and
comparative survey of the whole
range. The history of any of the nat
ural sciences, like the history of hui
man activity, is not merely an ency-
clopaedic record of past facts; 1t re-
veals both the spirit and the wealth
which the past has bequeathed to the
present, and which, in due course, the
present will influence before transmits
sion to the future. Perhaps ali our
physicists are too busy to spare the
labor needed for the production Of a
comprehensive history; yet such q
contribution to the subject would be
of great value, not to physicists alone.

When the Seas BEGAN.

Prof. C. M. Woodward, in his presi-
Dental address to the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science last December, remarked that
recent pendulum observations, which
indicate the variations of gravity,
have justified the conclusions of Prof.
Dana concerning the permanence of
the continents and oceans. The
earth's crust is found to be more
dense beneath the oceans than be
meath the continents, and 1t is be-
lieved that the distinction between
sea and land has its basis in the
heterogeneity of the material com
posing the interior of the earth The
determining conditions arose in the
original aggregation of that part oil
the primitive nebula which formed
the earth. The ocean basins after
ward gradually subsidized, and the con
tinental masses gradually rose, with
many fluctuations, but upon the whole
they have never exchanged places.

A Vanishing Lake,

Fresh evidence of the disappear

has lately been accumulated. Capt
Tifho of the Anglo-French Boundary
Commission says that the form and
area of the lake have undergone great
changes since the explorations of
Barth and Nachtigal, 40 to so years
ago. 1t is now navigable only in GER
tain places. and boats frequently run
aground. The tendency seems to be
toward the development of a vast
marsh on the site of the lake. al

waves in stormy weather gave 1t the
appearance of an ocean
