Electricity Gain on Steam.

Steam is rapidly giving place to
electricity as a source Of power In
the United States. Although steam
had start of centuries. already one
fourth the Industrial power in use
comes from the dynamo, and it is pre-
dicted that in few years four-tifths
of the work of the nation will derive
energy from this source. It is esti-
mated that there is 10000, 0OO-horse-
power at work daily in the United
States. OF this 100000 is animal,
100000 steam and about 81, SOC, 1000
electric. The balance is divided be-
tween gas and water.
Two-thirds of the steam power is
employed in operating locomotives,
and it is here that electricity is des.
tined to make its most sweeping con-
quest.

MUST FIT TO PERFECTION
All the Charm Of the Tunic Is Lost
Unless Care Is Taken In
That Respect.

All self-respecting women have
taken to tunics. The tunic to be beau
tiful must be maneuvered with the
utmost care or it will emphasize the
regrettable points in ones figure,
It's cut and adjustment are not BY
any means child's play, and it looks
as If science and experience were to-
come into their own again.
The amateur, who till lately has
bungled to her hearts content with
clothes that need not fit to look smart,
and sashes that charitably cover a
multitude Of sins, will have to confess
herself beaten. Perhaps the lace tunic
is responsible for the idea that 1t ID
easy to manage the latter success
fully.
Lace seems delightfully."- simple to-
handle until you have tried utilizing
the family heirloom to its best advan'
tage, and to your own, and have failed
ingloriously. This season lace fig
ures on everything. Chantilly, both
black and white, is the rage, and
malines and milanese point run u
very close.
