EIeetrifeation Of sweden's Railways.

Electrification Of Sweden's Railways.
The Riksgransen railway lies wholly
within the polar circle, thus necessi-
tating special appliances to contend
with the snow. Except for the stations
the railway is single line throughout,
of standard gauge, with a maximum
grade Of 1 to 100, and sharpest curve Of
500 meters radius. The whole line is
being electrified, according to the Tech
nical Review, the power being supplied
by water. On the electrified line
trains of 40 mineral-carrying cars and
brake van are hauled by two locomo-
tives, which is an increase Of 40 per
cent, with a speed increase of so per
cent over the original steam traction
Power is generated as single phase
current at $4,000 volts. and stepped
down in four substations to 5000
volts on the overhead conductors

AL[>FASH|ONS
IN FLOOR LAMPS
SHOW VARIETIES

Floor lamps follow changing
fashions, not so much in the mat
ter of their upright supports as in
shapes of the shades and materials
OF which the shades are made. This
fall the shades are chiefly of the
conventional circular shape, but In
some of the shades the circle has
given way to a scalloped effect, the
wire frame being bent into eight
scallops. The covering is rose-col-
ored silk finished with silk fringe,
while a contrasting note is supplied
by narrow bands of black velvet
ribbon.
Fathers floor lamp for reading
beside his easy chair consists of an
upright support of antique iron
with parchment shade. Mothers
floor lamp has standard of silver
finish with circular shade of rose
colored silk and fringe to match.
Sisters floor lamp for boudoir is
draped with chiffons and Is gayer
In color and design. Brothers
lamp for den or library has a
parchment shade Of Maxfield Par
IRISH blue with some vivid decora-
lions.
Some Of the new fall lamps are
evidently destined for very somber
interiors, as they have ebony up
rights topped by heavy shades of
dark material embroidered in silver
or gold. Others have shades with
out any fringe to protect eyes from
the glare of the lamps; in order to
subdue the glare somewhat, strands
of glass prisms are wound about
the electric lamps but nevertheless
glare is too painfully apparent.
Glare Is to be avoided. No lamps
that are in the line of vision should
be left unshaded in homes or else
where. Shades, shields or globes
OF decorative glass not only pro-
tect the eyes of observers from
glare but should be used to- distrib-
ute the light. Glare should be
eliminated and light should be well
diffused. Unless the floor lamp
does this well 1t is not fulfilling its
proper function.

POINTED TOE SHOES.

A chiropodist once told me that
rot one woman in thousand had
a beautiful foot. And when ! rather
gasped at that sweeping statement
he said his books proved that hun
dreds of women came to him and
no treated hundreds more at a
clinic, and that in all the years Of
his work he had only met a few
women whose bare feet were really
beautiful.
"Some years ago it wasn't so
bad" he said. "Then the woman
Of wealth kept her feet In good
condition because she wore we'll
fitting shoes. Now the wealthy
woman has uglier feet than her lit
tie kitchen maid. This is because
she insists on following the fash
ions which means to raise her foot
upon high heel and thrust the
weight of her body forward to toes
that are cramped into the narrow
point of shoe.
"The lines Of modern smart shoes
are all wrong. Instead of narrow
ing along the outside line as the
toe narrows. they narrow as well
on the inside line, pushing the big
toe, which should lie straight, to-
ward the center OF the foot. This
brings the weight Of the body on
various weak points of the foot and

otherwise they break in the center.

does when the whole weight Of the

such a wrap. Kolinsky forms the
collar and banding on the cape or

the front of the wrap. There are
