BY HENRI nunnrs

Paris. April 25.-The militarists ehauvinists and the many Frenchmen who are always dreaming of winning back with the sword what we lost in lsI0-71 are in an ecstacy of delight for Frenchman. Alfred Pouteaux of DI- jon has invented a gun which surpass anything the world has ever seen. if you are to believe all that is claimed for 1t.
 The electromagnetic transporter" as the inventor calls his gun, marks an absolutely new departure in this that no powder charge Is required to fire even the heaviest shells.
 In appearance it looks sery much like the ordinary siege gun except that 1t has no breech and weighs only A Traction of the ordinary gun of the same calibre. It consists, in fact, only of metal tube open in both ends. The shell Is placed in the rear opening the gun is sighted in the manner of the ordinary gun, a button Is pressed and in some mysterious way electro magnetic force Is released to send the shell of the greater velocity than shell has ever been fired before.
 The firing" of the gun produces no noise, no smoke. no flame and no heat and because of this there is practical ly no limit to the speed with which the gun may be worked. A thousand

ParIor GlrI . VioIinint.


 Queen Maud of Norway is taking a keen personal interest in the career of Miss Kathleen Parlow. the 17-year- old Canadian violinist, who has created such a great sensation in Berlin, Vien- na, Paris. St. Petersburg. and Chris tiania.
 Miss Parlow, who has just arrived here, is now considering a tempting offer made by an American syndicate who have suggested a tour of seventy concerts .n North America at S12,250 per concert, to be followed by furth CT fifty concerts in South Americt at the same figure. representing in all a sum of $150,0O0.
 Both King Haakon and Queen Maud have written to Miss Parlow's mother predicting that the girl violinist will create a sensation equal to that which she made on the Continent when sh e appears in London at the Queens Hall on Tuesday next.
 Their Majesties have given their pa tronage to the concert. and among oth- CTS who have given their patronage or taken seats are Princess Christian, the Duchess of Norfolk, the DIchess of Rutland, the Duchess of Westminster. Lord Strathcona. Lord Desborough. and Countess Bathurst. Miss Parlow as mere child was fortunate enough to come lunder the pressed by her remarkable talent that he took her to St. Petersburg to see the great Professor Auer.
 That was about five years ago and the professor who has never made any charge9 for h:s tuitionf declared in Berlin recently that his young pupil was one of the greatest violinists of the last twenty five years. Her triumphant Continental tour. which began In Sep tember last, terminated at Christiania, where Queen Maud. after hearing her play presented her with diamond pendant.

We don't know about that Bibb coun.v wild gobbler who read about the game law and walled into gobbIer and carried off the hens. It may be that the addition of those hens to the harem of the wild gobbler will be the means of filling the woods of Bibb with wild turkeys.

IN NEW YORK'S
 FASHION GLASS

New York. April 25.-(special. .)-- By this time every woman Is attract. ively clad in a new spring costume and as each sallies forth the one mo- ticeable feature is the original cut of every gown. The styles may not seem so extreme to us because they are re- ally combinations of the last fall and early winter models and we have now become accustomed to them. General lines are practically the same, such as the long clinging skirts of the Paquin and Empire Directoire models and the short semi-fitting coat with the decid. ed flare over the hips On costumes, blouses and coats the seam of the armhole has entirely disappeared. The sleeve Is either cut in one with the waist or the seam is concealed by trim ming, tucks or little shoulder capes. This fashion Is very noticeable on e's- erything but the strictly tailored suits. There are no broad effects: everything is long and slim from the top of the hat to the toe of the shoes. The enor- mously wide sailors are the only ex- captions. however. and even then the correct lines are given on the cos- tune.
 Separate blouses both tailored and fancy is a topic that one could talk about for hours and then not begin to describe all the different styles. The separate waist and skirt idea Is being favored again and will doubtless be accepted joyfully by the American wo- man, while In Paris they are worn even more than over here. Many of the lin- gerie blouses are worn over Things of a pale color. Pink, yellow, blue, green, violet and apricot are the fa- vorite shades. The white waists show a distinctive trimming contrasting with the dark skirt, if 1t be nothing more than a narrow rim at the top of the stock. Lace waists in violet, green. blue and pink are growing popular, but unless one has a skirt to match, the color scheme Is spoiled. Waists of Irish lace show off to the best ad- vantage over a lining of raspberry taf- feta and those of net over mauve, pro- viding the color of the skirt does not conflict.

Buttons play an important part on coats that fasten with just one upon the bust. Like all late novelties. they are expensive and the jeweled ones are extremely so. yet these are not the only handsome ones that are seen. There are many covered with lowered cretonne which give the effect of a hand painted button. Flowered silk buttons can hardly be distinguished from the hand painted ones except up- on close inspection. The button of brocade Is used a great deal on tailored costumes.

opening for women. As small land- holders and farmers they may do won ders and the government is giving them every facility. Tn poultry rais- ing alone there Is sphere worth cul- tivating. for at the goldfelds I found imported eggs selling for IS cents each. owing to the lack of poultry farms.
 Since I was last in Australia, .wo- men have got the franchise. In the mining districts I found the miners wives took the keeDest interest in po- hticai questions. and were ready to talk politics intelligently. even at the washtub. And they are spiendidly or- sanized. too; nor will they vote with : the qualifications of a candidate before giving them their suffrage.
 The women of the middle class is less enthusiastic. It Is not a matter of bread and butter with her, as 1t Is with the working woman. The woman of the upper middle classes are indif- fereut simply because they are too in men as in women voters. Snd there were only 4s per cent of men voted at the last election. No wonder that the Australian government talks of intro ducing a bill in Parliament to fine non-voters and to make voting at cleo lions compulsory
 CattIe-Drfving in Ireland.
 In the west of Ireland. the ever dis thressful country" rioting and cattle driving are as rife as ever. A partic- ularly fierce battle, combined with a cattle drive on a large scale, has ta- ken place at Elphin. County Roscom- mon. which Is one of the most disturb ed districts.
  acres of grazing land has been under a rigid boycott. The United Irish League. which Is the most feared pow erful organization in the country. has terrorized farmers so effectually as to keep the land untenanted. As this Is the season for the renting of grazing land, the League held a meeting at Elphin to arrange for continuing the boycott and extending Its scope.
 Anticipating trouble. the authorities had drafted large extra force of po- licc into the districts, and the town was held by the constabulary. both foot and mounted. After their meeting the Leaguers marched, headed by massed bands, to the residence of Mr. Donion, agent to MT. O'Connor. the owner of the boycotted land.
 Having given a chorus of groans. the mob were preparing to attack the house, when they were charged by the police, who vigorously applied their clubs. The Leaguers replied as vigor- ously. bandsmen using their instru- ments. and ths diners pelting the po- lice with stones. The Leaguers were driven back by the disciplined force of police; but getting reinforced by other contingents they finally routed the po- lice and remained in possession of the town.
 While the battle was at It's height a neigh boring ranch was raided and sev- eral hundred cattle were driven through the town at a gallop by a bowling mob. and dispersed over the country. The League has posted bills threatening violence to any grazier who is daring enough to rent the boy cotted land.

One of the most charming afternoon costumes was a checked voile in ge- ranium- -red with a striped border of woven red satin bands outlined by white. The skirt was gathered at the top with applied straps running down. ward from the belt and finished with braid motifs. The high girdle was formed of a series of folds of the satin bands, which crossed in a novel way in the pack. and in front each band met and folded over the other. The bodice was finely tucked and had insets of heavy fllet trimming dyed to match and was embroidered in white. The yoke of the same was outlined with satin fold and the guimpe and sleeve ruffles were of Bruges lace. The sleeves were pretty, indeed. as they consisted of a series of deep. over- tapping folds which were joined to the bodice by straps of the woven satin bands To complete this toilette were gloves and .a dainty wrist bag to match tho color of the guimpe. and a large dropping hat with one immense plume starting in the front and reaching we'll over the back, and a parasol of gera- nium-red silk with large white spots and a ruffle of Burges lace around the top.

There are novelties in ribbons Just the same as in dress materials. but the price is often times much higher than in thin fabrics. The blue brocade rib- bons arc very handsome and sell as high as s10 yard. The roses on them are worked out in high relief The rose colored ribbons show flowers eTn- broidered in silver. To save half the cost the woman who Is skillful with her needle can buy the ribbon and easily work the flowers over herself with gold or silver thread. Ribbons are to be very fashionable for sashes this sum- mer and this is partly due to the many Empire frocks that are being made. They seem to require a sash. and while these brocades are the very latest, there are ribbons in stripes and plaids and flowers that are equally as att tractive and perhaps as expensive.

Such lovely little separate jackets are seen this year that one could never 1 tire of describing them. have spoken before of the materials that are
 used for them and now will talk about the different styles. The jackets or heavy fllet net and soutache are charm
 ing, or those of just soutache, and thev are made with three-quarter loose
 sleeves that are cut in one with the coat They are generally hip-length and collarless with a semi-ftted back and box front. The favorite color for all these wraps is the light tan, deep ecru or the natural color of pongee. but still there are many of other del- icate colors and of white. The coats and wraps are made three-quarter and knee-length, but the wraps for even ing wear often cover the hem of the gown. There are wide abbreviated sleeves and half length ones. flowing or finished with a wide cuff. The bot tom is finished round. pointed or square and Is sometimes let up to the waist lines on the sides. Most of them are collarless but very attractive are those with a deep shawl collar sinu- lating A hood in the back. The cut away front is much favored which closes at a point with one large but ton. Instead of a point 1t may be rounded or if the front Is long and straight 1t fastens with several but tons
