PARIS WOMEN LIKE
TEA GOWN STYLES
One Time English Dress
Now Greatly Affected by
French Women.

The tea gown. originally an English
robe distiuctively. was long since ap-
,Yropriated by the French woman, and
has bv the Parisienne been transformed
into an artistic dream
The English garment was simple and
practical rather than a robe to beauty
ones self. The French woman has al
tered all that, and ia no other gown
Goes sine ContTive to look more lovely
All sorts OF quaint conceits are adopted
tor Jhis robe; old pictures are copied
so that one may look ike a lady Of
olden times returning 10 earth Tor a

figure from cid china.
The original tea gown was merely a
loose. shapeless robe opening over some
sort OF fancy iupe or drsperv and hav-
ing a deep collar. Nowadays il cannot
be too elaborate OF made Of too expen-
~ive materials.
Elaborate Creations.
The tea gowns of today are beautiful
and labOrate creations OF silk. satin,
chiffon. OF lace insert. embroidered and
otherwise decorated and opening over
equisitelv decorated underslips, with
dchus OF lace or delicate embroidery
and having almost any sort OF pic

gowns are used fo- small dinners, when
ORs entertains intimate friends, instead
q the demi or full toilette.
Usually several colors are blended to-
gether in these robes. and it is seldom
that the Parisieune has the one-cOlOr
scheme throughout.
Pale blue chiffon over mauve chiffon
GER liberty satin layer. and under these
perhaps a rose-colored lining, may be

American ouioksiIuer.

The quicksilver output of this coun-
try is entirely furnished by the far
west and south, the state of California
leading. The total product for the en-
tire country during 1906 was 26,23S
TASKS of seventy-fve pounds each, val
ued at $95S,634 as compared with 3d.
451 TASKS, valued at 81, 103, 12O in 1905,
a decrease in quantity of 4,213 TASKS
and in value of $144, 486 OF the total
product California furnished 2O310
TASKS, valued at $3.50 ps; Texas, 4,761
TASKS, valued at $178,S29; Utah, 1,164
TASKS, valued at $4S,SSS, and Oregon,
three TASKS, valued at $780, The de-
crease was due to the falling off Of
more than 1900 TASKS Ia the output of
the California mines. The Texas pro-
ducers made small gain and those
of Utah somewhat greater one. The
domestic production nearly equaled the
domestic consumption, and exports de-
creased considerably.

SOLAR ENGINE AT WORK.

ed in the ground. In it are laid coils of
iron pipe painted black. The box is
covered by two layers of ordinary hot
house glass with a one inch space be-
tween. The rays of the sun penetrate
through the glass covering, and their
heat is absorbed by liquid ether in the
pipes and generates the pressure which
drives the engine. The inventor as
serts that in tropical countries water
can take the place of the ether used in
this instance The exhaust passes into
q condenser after accomplishing its
task and is then returned in it's fluid
state back to the hot box. This illustra-
lions shows the direct acting solar en-
CINE under a pressure Of 100 pounds
pumping water from an artesian well.
The great drawback is the fact that
the sun shines only about eight hours a
day and that some days are cloudy.
Therefore the inventor proposes to use
solar power for liquefying air, which
can be shipped and used for power.
Plans are being made to construct
solar plants in the tropics, where hui
Nudity is rare and sunlight abundant,
to compress indefinite quantities of at
mosphere and ship it in bulk.

smokeIess Coal.

A London inventor claims to have
discovered a process for producing
smokeless coal apparently by distil-
lation of coal at a low temperature.
This, after filtration, is said to deposit
a very brilliant substance, the heating
properties Of which are far greater
than those of the original coal and
which is absolutely free from smoke
and dirt. The inventor contends that
efforts to overcome the smoke plague
have hitherto been unsuccessful be-
cause they have been made in the
wrong direction and that by the ex-
traction Of the smoke producing mate
rial in coal before being burned he has
been successful in producing a smoke
less coal

WEATHER STATIONS.
Government to Establish Street Kiosks
In Large Cities.

Government to Establish Street Kiosks
In Large Cities.
The head of the United States
weather bureau has prepared plans
for erecting kiosks containing record
ing instruments in the buster parts of
our large cities, says the Scientific
American. Official or newspaper data,
which are often taken from instru-
ments placed at considerable dis
lance above ground, are not altogether
accepted by the man in the street,
who feels the bitter blizzard or the
blazing sun from which the instru-
ments are shielded.
The booths or boxes will be built so
as not to exceed two feet square and
six or eight feet high and with a view
to making them as slightly and as dec
orative as possible. They will be made
to conform as much as possible to
their surroundings with the idea of
making them as familiar articles to
the public as the mail boxes or fire
alarm stations. In addition to the per-
manent instruments, weather maps and
such data as are of popular informa-
ton will be displayed on the sides Of
the booths and will be kept up to the
minute by boys on bicycles. If the
plan proves as popular as it is expect
ed, it is probable that the weather
kiosks will be established all over the
country.
