The Georgia legislature Is en-

vict lease system in that State
and from the evidence as pub

needed a probing. The details

existing which puts to shame
the Russian system Of cruelty
and oppression to the Siberian

like conditions do not exist in

barbarous. to say the least. and

FEATHERS AND HAIR.
Their Properties Considered From
Electrical Viewpoint.

GlCCNT1cHi Jew DolAl.
From the Philadelphia Record.
1t has long been known that feathers
and hair are electrical bodies. but until
recently we have had little information
about their electrical properties. or the
conditions in which these properties are
manifested. Most of these phenomena
were first observed b. E1ner. and in the
work of DIR. Schwartz are found collected
a mass of facts that cannot fail to inter-
est the physicist and biologist; besides,
we find there a description of EXner S APP
paratus which was used by Schwarza in
most of his experiments on electric phe
nomena of this kind.
BY the side of a gold-ieaf electroscopa
we feather electroscope which is
fastened To its support by means Of a
slken thread. A feather waved through
the air is positively electrified. while the
air itself seems to be charged with mega
tive electricity. Two feathers rubbed to-
gethcr IN the natural position are so cleo
trified that their lower surface is mega
tive and upper positive.
These experiments and others have been
utilized to study the vital relations of ami
mails and the biological Specification Of

No bird need attend 10 its plumaga at
the end of long fight. for, while the
large feathers are positively electrified by
friction against the air. the white down

Among cnnsequ noes Of this production of

Useful Jewe1ry.

There are many novel adjuncts to the
junk collection. Vanity boxes are no
longer new, but are to be found in many
novel shapes and designs. and with space
for even more necessities than in the first
cases. BY some it is thought better to
keep the powder and powder puff sep
arate. so that just the right quantity can
be used when desired. and there have
lately been designed little gold boxes for
the tiny pufY and small gold TASKS with
a sliding perforated top for the powder.
small gold chains with a longer single
chain to attach them to the ring with the
rest of the junk. A gold case for lip
salye is another indispensable part of this
collection.
Colored Handkerchiefs Not Popular.
Possibly the English women and those
of France love the colored handkerc hiefs
more than Americans. American women
will wear the colored ones with tailored
frocks. but leave them severely alone for
other purposes. Where one does not care
to have a colored one of solid effect there
some styles in white showing barred
lines of mauve brown. purple, red and
blue outlines. There is no denying the
fact that the pure white linen handker-
chief has esta blished itself too firmly to
be ousted by the faddish little bits of
color. though why must one hang so tena
ciously to certain style? For to take
up with a fad makes one appreciate all
the more the simple styles when they are
again adopted

Robes Of Point d'Sprit.

A novelty among the robes is gown
showing a combination that is most ef-
fecttve. The foundation is supposed to
be light, very open renaissance. but all
the open spaces. unless quite small. are
filled in with point dsprit, net. looking
not unlike background Then an APP
pl.que of lighter lace is introduced.
1t is very happy combination. for one
gets all the wearing qualities of the sub
stantial renaissance without the heavy
effect which ! have always thought
drawback 10 the beauty of the robes of
heavy lace. The point d'sprit provides
q pleasing Iightness.

Braid Trimming.

Souteche braid on filet net has taken a
firm hold as n trimming. and is now
more than a fad.
Quite a number OF the newest waists
have an entire deep yoke of the net
braided yermicelli fashion with the braid
instead Of the usual lace and embroidery.
Others show V-shaped chenisettes only,
while q third class is decorated with
waistcoats. just strip from four to six
inches wide. set IN from collar to belt,
and collar and cuffs. The work Is not
difficult to do. and is quite handsome in
effect. Given coed quality of net. such
trimming would almost last forever.
