I Photography hy Phosphorescence. In the field of lighting by phosphorescence we reach hitherto untrodden ground. Phospliorsescent light has been associated with the idea of 'cold light," or the property of becoming luminous with the omission of the intermediate step of combustion, as commonly understood. As a physical action, wo know it in the light of the firefly, which Professor S. P. Langley rates at an efficiency of 100 per cent., all its radiations lying within the limits of the visible spectrum. By means of the Teslaic currents phosphorescent light strong enough even to photograph by has been obtained ; and the picture, representing ,the inventor himself, is the first portrait or photograph of any kind ever taken by phosphorescent light. A bulb whose light-giving member is coated with sulphide of zinc treated in a special way was rendered phosphosescent by means of current obtained from a high-frequency transformer coil. The current used was alternated or oscillated about 10,000 times per second. The exposure was about eight minutes. V The other picture, that of Mr. Clemens (Mark Twain), wag taken a few weeks later?early in 1894?with ( the aid of the same bulb, and with an exposure of about ten minutes. In , order to test more closely the actinic , value of phosphorescent light, some | bulbs subject to high frequency cur- i rents were p hotographed, or, if we < may coin n new word, "phospho- j graphed," with a somewhat longer ex V.?.Iwo if -iHn ctvftf ? JJUblirtJ. VUD uii^uv jvwi* j utilize sulphide of zinc in some form ( for luminosity. The third bulb, seen j faintly .to the left of them, has a coat- < ing of sulphide of calcium. Athough, judged by the eye, it glowed with a (brightness fully equal to tnat of the other two, the actinic value was evidently much less. It is, perhaps, ' needless to say that these demonstra- ] tiona invite to an endless variety of i experiments, in which investors will ' find a host of novel phenomena await- : ing them as to phosphorescence and i * fluorescence produced with electrical i currents.?Century. 1 !

A singular and ancieet custom tal place the first Thursday in Deceml every year in the little Belgian city Arton.

One delightful example e" recently displayed is in faced cloth of 'y? the new brown, with revers of biscuit colored ciotn, covered wnn appiique jry designs in dark brown velvet. Broad, * ? flaring turn-over cuffs are made to e" correspond. DS The new coat is easy enough tc >nt COATS WITH THE" e.3 make when the cloth is thick enough rf" to dispense with lining, and then one 1 length of silk will be sufficient, if cut ? down the centre, to face the fronts e and make a nice, neat finish. SomeT5 times the fullness at the back is set in P" two box-pleats, cut in one length with the coat, as in the double-column >m illustration. The sleeves are of modie* erate size, with the fullness collected ? well round the top of the arm, and not spreading all down the armhole, as I this gives a broad effect and shortens the figure. The cuffs are mounted on ap. I still canvas, ana ine lapeis are aiao J stiffened and lined with silk. ^ A large number of the new jackete j and coats display bishop sleeves and very large revers. In mo6t of these it is noticeable that the revers are double, in the upper one being made of cloth, all and the under one of lighter silk or cloth, white being used to a very large ow extent. Tlae object of these double ns revers is, of course, obvious; for should LSS the light ones become dirty, as they probably will, they can be easily removed to be cleaned, for they are made 3 separately and buttoned on under? neath. Jackets are'short, and while]the skirt part of the backs are almost invariably in flutes, the fronts vary to a wonderful degree. A great many have loose fronts, either single or double breasted, jo* with pockets inserted in the sides, with or without lapels, and another graceful shape is slightly fitted in to the figure at the underarm 6eams, and is caught together at the breast with a single button. ee r or mis season s weur, ti cuat auu Gf ekirt en suite is surely invaluable in et_ every wardrobe, and as the warmer in days approach, the skirt is of ths greatrv est service to wear with shirt waists rg. and blouse bodices. All kinds ol be faced cloth are largely used for these in costumes, as well as Amazons and habil [e> cloths, coarse-ribbed serge, and the aa delightfully 6oft zibelines, with silky hairs strewn over the surface. These it are all sown in the new tints, which Qf are dull and artistic, and simply repeat old colorings in softer and more 0O subdued tones. Tweeds are also popular, but covert coatings will not en,e that extreme popularity which was on bestowed upon them last season. )rSOME NEW EVENING SLEEVES.

Sashes are to be worn with most oi jren the inexpensive dresses, and some verj ma- pretty ones are made of long .lengths ,lt e of fine grenadine, either in colors or k? black. These aie finished with fringt iute. of knotted silk or fine strands oi .uns b^ads. One extremely haudsome sasl of grenadine has a fringe of black corc1 3 silk with alternate strands of very fine jet tipped with arrow-shaped beads. With this sash ie worn an adjustable ? yoke of black velvet and gfbnadine. The yoke is cut square across the front and back, and at the corners of the L front next to the sleeves there are rosettes cf the grenadine with long tassels of silk and jet to match the fringe of the sash. From beneath these tassels there are velvet straps that ex4-^v Ttroiof linn moofinnf \T\ ft fCUU IU VUO ?T Minv jAWWy ? ' point in front. These are fastened unJ tier the sash.

For half-long jabots, says the New York Press, de chine and mousselaine i chiffon are much used, principally without the addition of lace. Paris makes these articles in plisse, finished i with a collar or thick ruche with flowers intermingled, principally daisies, ? the jabot itself being open in the middle, where it leaves free space for their ? display. " '|.J BOX-PLEATED BACK. i Novelties are plaited black tulle coli lars with ribbon arrangement and a' ribbon bow or several colored rosettes where it fastens in the front. A flower collarette is shown herewith which differs materially from styles hitherto produced. A stiffened lining forms the foundation, on which are sewn loops of satin ribbon with artificial flowers arranged at regular interi val8 in their folds. On either side of the centre front hang two softly plaited i ends of chiffon, which match the ribbon in color and are finished with a double self-shirring edged with fine net-top applique lace. flll^ w A NEVJ IDEA IN COLLARS.

Expansion ol Water In Freezing. Mr. Prompt read a paper before th.? French Academy of Sciences conccrnf ing the augmentation of the volume of 1 water at the moment of its transForma tion into ice. His experiments were made with a view to ascertain the i cause of this phenomenon. To this end t he caused water to freeze in a transparent bulb. According to Mr. i Prompt, fust a clear and transparent i layer of the ice is formed, then another layer traversed by streaks at the points of which gaseous bubbles i appear. These bubbles, comprcsscd more and more by the formation of the ice, eventually break the vessel in ; which freezing water is confined. By using distilled water from which all t gases had been set free, and protecti ing the water by covering it with oil, Prompt claims to have frozen the [ water without obtaining any dilation [ of the volume originally taken np.? i La Nature. ^ ??

The man who pays the bills for ribbon must also rejoice at the new model. By an lr genious change in the mechanism the ribbo is shifted eidewise every time it is reversec so that the ordinary life of the ribbon is ver much prolonged, rendering the machine muc more economical to run. and giving a muc cleaner and more uniform impression. Th carriage is very much lighter to lift, and yei notwithstanding its increased capacity, is evi dently very strongly and durably construct oti. The spacing mechanism is also woudei fully improved. The rack of the No. 2 is rc placed by a little escapement wheel whic works at lightning speed and with'unerrin certainty, making the machine lighter to rui and quicker to act and reducing the wear upo: the different parts. The new method of feed ing the paper into the machine and control ling its movement cannot be too highiy com mended.

P > "The Pleasure of Killing." t Captain C. A. W. Donovan, who has e recently made a hunting trip through e Matabeleland. Africa, has written a I book describing his experiences. He ( r betrays in the most delightfully naive - way that delight in slaughter for 1 i slaughter's own sake which is charq acteristic of many nominally civilized d huntsmen. Here is a tine illustration ] a of this peculiarity: 1 e "While crossing Spring-bok Flats, we had a great hunt after a troop of ; f the nimble little bucks which give the s district its name. It was a pretty sight 1 if to see them galloping along and maky ing the marveloua springs into the air g from which their name is derived. To i- watch them thus was to me?to whom y everything was new?almost as interII esting as to shoot them. I should have I- enioved another day after them, as the open country in which they delight makes it possible to watch every turn, , twist and jump of the herd. And, after all, seeing new animals in their natural condition is almost equal to n the pleasure of killing them." Now Comes Plaid Paper.
