A lovely gown of black net, with
hounces bordered with corded or
banded taffeta, is distinguished by
much originality. Several novel ideas
appear in its finishing. which might be
used on gowns made of any of the
sheer fabrics that add so much to the,
midsummer wardrobe
The model is made over a slip of
black taffeta with plain skirt and low
bodice, which serves as a foundation
and support for the net overdress
This has two fiounces, one overlap
ping the other, headed by two puffs
which form shorter, doubled f1ounces,
about the hips.
The net bodice is shirred on to a
narrow band at the round neck with a
row of four small shirred tucks, form
ing a soft and pretty finish. 1t is cut
in one with the full sleeves.
The sleeve is elbow length and fin
ished with four rows of baby velvet
ribbon. By gathering in the fullness
at two places about the upper arm two
puffs are formed, corresponding with
those at the top of the skirt Little
rosettes of baby velvet ribbon with
hanging ends are mounted at the back

Probably wooden partitions ave used

1t is poor construction to put rSrge
windows in a horse barn. Horses are
likely to break them, and in doing SO
get very badly cut. The best way to
get a weTl-lighted stable is to provide
plenty of small windows, which can be
placed near the roof. so as to elm
inate the possibility of breakage.
These windows are very often covered
with an iron grating, especially if they
are low enough so that there is a pos
sibility of the horses breaking them.
The upper part of the barn is built
with gambrel roof, so that trusses
will support the roof, and a large open
space will be available for a haymow
The studs for the side walls can be
placed in studding sockets so that they
will be kept from being in direct con-
tact with the damp concrete. This
| method of construction has been very
satisfactory in buildings of this type.
A good ventilating system must be
| provided in a horse barn, the same as
in any other type. The intakes can
! be placed at the top of the concrete
wall in this case, or the windows can
be depended upon to do the ventilat

suIphuric Acid by New Method.

new method of manufacturing suk

OF which is a decrease in the cost of
constructing the plant in which the
acid is produced, has been successful;
ly tried in laboratory experiments,
and it is believed that the method will
prove desirable for commercial pur,
poses An essential feature of the
new process is that the gases en-
ployed are drawn downward through
a spiral fue in place of being drawn
through the usual lead chambers
where certain necessary chemical re,
actions take place. In this flue the
gases are mixed intimately. Its walls
may be cooled by water or air, there

gases at the temperature most favor
able for an efficient yield of sulphuric
acid The lead chambers which are
displaced by this spiral, which like.
wise must be of lead, are vast in ex-
tent. Since a plant equipped with a
spiral f1ue would occupy much less
ground space and would not need as
large buildings nor require quite as
| much lead, the initial cost of construc-
tion would be materially decreased.

What cathedrals Mean.

James Lane Allen has avowed that
his purpose in writing "A Cathedral
Singer" the new romance, is to estab-
lish the new Cathedral of St. John the
Divine in New York more securely in
the heart of the nation.
Nothing that man has ever been
able to build, he says, is loved for so
many reasons as cathedral. l. is
loved for it's spiritual meaning. for
tie arts that enter into it's structure,
for the action of nature upon it through
sunlight and rain, and the brief NOR
tality of the blossom on it's walls
But it is above all the literature
which gathers about cathedral. MIR.
Allen says, that makes it loved, link
ing it to innumerable human lives and
transfguring it to human affection.
American literature entering the
service of our great cathedral car
= complete its destiny as an American
cathedral, Mr.. Allen believes.

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
So Far as IT'S Guns Are Concerned.
1t Is Just About the Weakest
Thing Afioat.

about the submarine is it's capacity to
enter into and operate in waters that
are adversely commanded.
But, once in those waters. the
power of the submarine is extraordi-
narily limited. Indeed, it's capacity to
enter those waters can also be limit
ed. The use of nets, of mines and OF
patrols especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
The first and most striking fact
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage The narrower the
waters the easier their control by
these means, and even in comparative
ly open waters great destruction can
be and has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart, altogether, from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed.
what is it's value when it is at work
in hostile waters? 1t has two weap-
ons-the torpedo and the gun. 1t can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is.
compared with the number of rounds
of gun ammunition that it can stow
away. The torpedo, too, is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best of times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine is submerged.
Wherever it is possible, then, the
captain of the submarine has done his
work with his guns But as gunned
/ ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the
| North American Review, the subma-
rine is the weakest thing afoat. Hence
it's guns can be used only against un-
armed craft. It dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. If it
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged, its speed of approach is great
! ly limited The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-poweI
speed of the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make then
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when. by
pure chance, their course takes then
within the submarines striking radius
The point is that if the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged
and if it keeps submerged its maneu
vering speed is low, it's capacity to ge

Much Work to Make Helmet

Sixty-four distinct operations are
necessary in turning out one of the
plain steel helmets worn by French
soldiers. The first step is stamping
out disks from larke sheets of steel. A
special machine is used for this pur-
pose, exerting a pressure of 150 tons,
and capable of cutting out 5000 steel
disks day Each disk is placed under
a shaping machine, which presses the
disk into the form of helmet with a
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities i'll the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crown, some for ventilation pur-
poses, others for fastening on the regi-
mental crest. Each helmet is cleaned
and dipped in special mixture. which
makes it a dull, inconspicuous blush
gray. 4 lining and leather chin straps
are then fastened on, and the helmet
is complete. Since the French army
has been protected with the helmets
the number of deaths due to wounds
in the head has decreased to a remark
able extent-Pearson's Weekly
