Why It Rises Superior to Any Passing
Fashion Dictates.
Men generally protest against the
changes of style in hats, and one OF
the sex has written to the New YORK
Mail this complaint:
Why attack as a "collapsible, many
named pretender" the opera hat, OF
chapeau de claque?
7 have such hat and also SILK hat
In which respect I think I differ from
most Gothamites. Whenever l nave
an option I wear the opera rather than
the other. It's more convenient
At the theater or opera you can car
~ it better on your between the acts
promenades. II there is no rack for
your hat under the seat you can tuck
It in your oyercoat and put it on the
floor under you without destroying IT,
as you would do with silk hat.
IF you put your lat in the rack un.
der your seat and then rise and stand
close to it to permit late conner TO
pass an opera hat suffers no damage
a silk hat would be either rufled O;
crushed
The opera hat looks as well at all
times as the silk hat and requires
much less care. Indeed, I think II
looks better. The glossy surface OF a
silk hat, like the glossy bosom OF a
stiff white shirt, is an uncomfortable
survival Of the time when men wore
polished helmets and breastplates.
There is so much reason in the opera
hat that men of discrimination VII
continue to wear it, the style Of the

WEIGHT OF PLANETS.
It Is the Mass Of the Body That Counts

1t Is the Mass Of the Body That Counts
With the Astronomer.
If ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh
ed there, the 'pull-the attractive
force Of the moon upon the ham
would amount to only five pounds.
There would be another weight Of the
ham for the planet Mars and yet an
other on the sun. A nam weighing
thirty pounds at New York ought to
weigh some 500 pounds on the suns
surface; hence the astronomer does not
speak of the weight of planet, be-
cause that would depend upon the
place where it was weighed. But he
speaks Of the mass of the planet,
which means how much planet there is.
no matter where it might be weighed.
At the same time we might, without
any ine1actness, agree that the weight
Of a heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight 1t would have in New
York. AS we could not imagine a
planet in New York, because it may
be larger than the earth itself, what
we are to imagine IS this: Suppose the
planet could be divided into a million
million million equal parts and one of
these parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find its
weight in pounds or tons. Then mul-
tiply this by a million million million.
and we shall have weight Of the plan
ct. This would be equivalent to what
astronomers might take as the mass OF
the planet.-Current Literature.

Drilled Through Them.
The means Of ascertaining the genu-
ineness Of pearls, which are frequently
initiated with marvellous skill, Is es-
pecially important to the layman, even
though the jeweler may quickly detect
them. limitations are usually lighter
than real pearls and generally are brit
tie. although some are made solid Of
fish scales and do not break so easily,
while the holes, which in the real pearl
are drilled very small and have q sharp
edge, are in the false larger and have a
blunt edge. AS rule, the imitation
pearls are like hollow spheres Of glass
colored internally with a coating imi-
tating the orient Of natural pearl.
The manufacture Of these articles
embraces two series Of operatlons-the
production Of the sphere and the intro
duction Of coating. The spheres are
produced by the gIassblower, who by
aid Of an enameler's lamp so%ers the
extremity Of tube when the sub
stance is Of the right consistency. In
this way arc obtained very regular lit
tie spheres that serve for the compost
ton Of the ordinary quality Of false
pearls.
In the more beautiful limitations the
tube employed is slightly opalescent,
and the glassblower, besides, gives to
the little spheres while they are yet
malleable certain slight perceptible in
eoualities Of surface by gently tapping
them with a small iron bar. This gives
them still greater resemblance to
natural pearls, which are very seldom
absolutely regular.-Exchange.

a ljse For His Hat,

A funny incident Of drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. a grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall hat, entered and, seeing no rack In
the hall, placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered, with large, drip
ping umbrella, and, peering an1iously
for the usual receptacle, saw in the
gloom the hat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor, for be
mistook it for one Of the new umbrella
holders, and in it he deposited his drip
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and In short
time the solemn looking hat was
stanchly holding dozen umbrellas
at the end Of the meeting the water in
the hat was an inch in depth.-London
