The Power Of a Voice.

Stories abound TO illustrate the pow

actors to stir the emotions by the
tones Of the voice. It Is said Of the

sion by the way IN which be uttered
the opening words. ''Our Father" OF
the Lords Prayer.
A story is told Of the great Irish
orator. O'Connell. An attack had been

Saustics hy Reflection.

It Is found that il concaye spherical
mirrors the reflected rays only come to
a definite focus in the point when the
angular aperture Of the mirror does
not exceed or 10 degrees. With a
larger aperture the rays reflected near
the edge cut the axis Of the mirror at
q point nearer Its surface than those

center. This being so and the curve
of the mirror being continuous. coz

points is formed in space and can be
rendered visible by the rays falling on
a rejecting surface. such as sheet Of

forming. 1t displaces the liver,

character of the ruins suggests that like such u

afford of beauty and convenience.
Agrippina the elder according to Seneca. was
the owner of of the most gorgeous OF the
villas in Herculaneum which it is believed. was
destroyed by the Emperor Caligula because his
mother had once been imprisoned therein An
other splendid villa was the Casa del Papir1 Ihe
Nonii of Nucer!a also among the aristocrats
of the time who had villas in the charming little
town.
According to Professor Hughes. "Hercuaneum
is buried not under lava, rarely under natural
cement but generally under locally consolidated
tuf (tuf is the word most commonly used when
the ash is so far consolidated to break into
lumps). Seeing that have reason to believe
that at least as much ash has fallen since the
first century A d. fell in 70 A. D., the first
thing to do Is to endeavor to distinguish between
the successive eruptions. If we could find at the
bottom of layer of ash just enough pottery or
other relics to enable to identify them as be-
longing to the seventeenth century or earlier.
that line should be traced with the greatest care

Photograph frames may be reck-

is almost impossible to possess too
many, and they are also very salable
articl-s to make for bazars. We give.
therefore, a sketch Of a dainty little
frame of very pretty, simple and
effective shape. 1t can be made In
any size to suit requirements. and for
the foundation piece of stout card
board is used cut out in the shape In
dicated in the sketch, and two cir

traits. Swansdown, flannelette (or

ermine wraps. 1t may be said. how
every, to the comfort of those who
bought fur coats last season or the
season before. that there is very little
radical change in the cut of the more
serviceable fur coats this season. and
that. except for the addition Of con-
trasting collar. your caracul. seal or
pony coat of last season will need no
alterations whatever.
Ermine will be very fashionable this
year especially IN combination with
moleskin and various black furs. Ell
mine and moleskin are considered the
most suitable evening furs. although,
of course. sable-known also as zibe-
line-is always appropriate at any
time. Moleskin. although some au-
thorities say its day has passed. is
SO graceful and pliable that it will still
hold Its own.
Natural color caracul Is another one
of the seasons fancies. A beautiful
muff recently displayed in Fifth ave
nue. window was of black fox. banded
on the edge and through the middle
with natural color caracul. With black
fur this caracul in its natural hue is
exceedingly effective.
The furs used for mourning are pre-
eminently lynx. with broad-tail and
monkey next in favor. Although none
of the furs of brownish hue are con-
sidered suitable for mourning. mole
skin Is considered most appropriate
for half mourning this year.

in good form for the youngsters.
Aside from the usual sale of fur
muffs. collars and cloaks of various
descriptions, there will be an enor.

evening gowns will have fur trim

fons, are frequently edged with sable

better use of fur. The seasons hats
sometimes show two furs charmingly
combined.
Small fur bags, to match coat or
mum, are to be used this year. Most
of the bags are envelope shape. with
fur handles and wide flaps, fastened
with a pearl clasp. Some. of the bags
have metal mountings and long silk
cord handles.
