not ignore it this season was made
specially poignant by an interview
with very handsome dowager, white

sleeves over white lace blouse with
a skirt cut plain in the front, and full

she had perched a large mushroom

it, and round her neck she wore
large white feather boa and on her
stout hands white kid gloves, which
extended to the elbow. 1t would have

assembled multitude on how she could
have improved her appearance with,

BELIEVES IN SUN SPOTS.
A Word About a Favorite Theory "a
to Short Crops.

In the bottom of its heart a good
part of the financial community cher.
ishes the suspicion that financial
crises, especially when caused or &C.
companied by bad harvests. have
something to do with ''sun spots"
says the New York Post. The argu.
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once in ten years and 30 do panics;
That sun spots" very probably cause
abnormal seasons on our own planet
anc that abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble in the stock ex.
change. Nobody would need to take
this seriously but for the fact that, 80
years ago, a very eminent English
economist frankly asserted his belief
In the theory. Prof. Jevons was SO
confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted European panic in
1873, because the 'sun-spot" activity
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1887 was one of sun-spot maximum
and also gear of commercial panic
sun spots were very active in 1871,
1872 and 1873 and we know what hap
pered in the markets. In 1883 a VIC
.ent maximum was reached; Europe
9ad a stock-exchange panic in 1882
ind the United States one in 1884
There was famous "sun-spot year.
IN 1893 and, what is more to the point
we are still in period of solar activi
" and disordered markets.
So far, this is all very we'll; but lei
us be thorough. The panic of 1851
was one of the worst on the list, and
1857 came in a period of sun-spoi
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of England's financial crises oc
Cured, solar activity was at the low
est level in a decade. A period OF
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 and
continued into the Barring year.
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was Wrought about through crop fait
nres. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there is any CORE
spondence, "cold years, rains and in
undations appear to correspond to
ehooO winch lne sun is quiet, uTy dnC
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity" Now a dry year may ruin
crops as well as cold year; but as
matter of record among panic years
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest, 1873 yielded bumper crop
in the United States, with 1872 good
second, and 1884 was a year of un
paIalleled wheat production all over
the world. And what is to be said OF
1879 and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" in the western hemi
sphere and lost most of the harvest in
the eastern.

WARNING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate t

Some of the dives about town thai

an electric buzzer. Formerly the push.
button connected with the buzzer was

by the police, who thereafter on en-.

watch on the barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.

1t is impossible to write a letter on
the subject of fashions without speak
ing of the popularity of gray mate
rials. for they are with us, on every
side. Some of the most effective sum
mer gowns, of simple order, which
have yet seen this year were made of
cool gray linen, with fine hand-em-
broideries, gu the skirt and bolero
carried ou. in silk-finished thread
These frocks. when worn with gray
linen shoes and gray suede gloves,
are quite enchanting in their Quaker
like simplicity, and they invite the
collaboration of cloche hats in deli
cate ivory straw, with puffed net
forming the full crown and, at one
side, near the front, cluster of beau
tiful roses or of waXen water lilies.
Some of the newest models in voile
de sole show perfectly shaped skirts
decorated with a number of tucks on
the hem of the skirt. Needless to say,
these tucks are always stitched by
hand, and they are arranged in grad
uated widths. At the extreme lem
they measure about five inches, and
then they are reduced each one-half
an inch as they run up towards the
knees. For linen dresses a favorite
style of trimming is combination of
deep tucks and hand-embroidery. three
tucks, a band of embroidery, and so
on. For afternoon gowns, voile de
sole is exceedingly fashionable, but

Plumbago.

Plumbago, popularly black lead.
scientifically graphite, got its name.
says the Ironmonger, from the as
sumption that it contained lead; and.
indeed, certain lead ores and oxides
have at times been called plumbago; !;
but Enkel found in 1897 that what we
now call graphite yielded no lead. and
he called 1t sterile plumbago. Scheele
in 1888. proved that it was an allo-
.-opic form of carbon.

and they are not short. in the sense

in keeping the streets clean. When

skirts are altogether lovely, but it is

Any kind OF labor. however severe

Of pecuniary aid from others. He
conferred upon the matter with Car.
panetto and Pastacaldi, and they took
a suggestion from Antonio Meucci,
who was an inventive genius aud
practical workman and had place
convenient for the experiment. Meuc-
ci proposed that they should start a
sausage factory on his premises. This
scheme was promptly put into execu-
