Another New Kind of Ray*.
M. Klondlot, a French scientist, has
'discovered a new .set of radiations
emitted by a ltwnt^u tube, differing:
from the X-rays in that they can be
concentrated by means of a quarts
lens, and ean also be reflected. The
X-ravs undergo neither reflection nor i
refraction. Tl.e new rays pass
through a hi mint: id. paper and wood,
being rectilineaiiy polarized on the'.r
emission. They are susceptible of
both rotary ,.iul eliptical polarization.

THE OPERATIONS . .
OF SHIFTY SIMMONS
AT PEAPACK
?&S?
A LITTLE STORY OF THE
FARMER AND THE FAKIR.
?m?
HE Tillage of Peapack was
radiant. It was a legal
O ' I O holiday and the circus was
K in town. Every one was
Ttufr mere unuKing in jis intoxicating
delights. Tlie tents bad been
erected under the joint criticism of tbe
entire male population of Peapack, and
the stimulating odor of the menagerie
filled the place. t
In one corner of the circus field
Shifty Simmons, the Philanthropist,
was busily engaged in doing good. This
worthy man was giving away gold
watches. At first the suspicious citizens
of Peapack regarded The thing
with a cold and calculating eye. Philanthropy
seemed to be a drug on the
market. Then four watches were cold
for a dollar each to four well-known
Peapackers and a two-dollar bill was
found in tbe back of each case. Thereupon
the intelligent citizens of Peapack
brightened up. They took more
interest .in this affair.
Shifty Simmons took four other
watches and surreptitiously tucked a
twenty-dollar bill in the back of the
case of each. The quick sighted Peapackers
were on. After spirited bidding
old Amadee Pierson bought one
of the watches for $19. He opened
the back case- with an exceedingly
fond expression of countenance. This
expression suddenly disappeared, and
he looked at Shifty Simmons with an
intensity which made even that hardened
sinner shudder.
The case was empty!
In all the various phenomena of nature
there :s nothing more tantalizing
than to observe a vacuous looking
space where coin of the realm is confidently
expected to he found.
In front of the First National Bank
of Peapack the street was deserted. It
seemed as though every oiie "was attending
the afternoon session of the
circus. And yet Inside the bank a performance
was going on which was not
without merit. The actors were three
capable looking gentlemen who were
doing clever tricks with the safe. The
audience consisted of the bank watchman,
who lay on his back in an indolent
attitude. This watchman was
bound and gagged in such an artistic
manner that he was unable either to
applaud or to exhibit any signs of the
disapproval which at times seemed to
be welling up witllin him.
Two hours later the cashier entered.
He was softly and happily tooting In
peaceful emulatiou of the steam caliope.
His eyes fell upon the watchman.
The tooting stopped. They exchanged
agonizing glances. The cashier ran to
the vault. The door opened readily at
his touch and showed certain unmistakable
vacancies within. The cashier
at once resumed his tooting, but an
expert musician might have observed
lh.it the tune was now pitched in quite
a different key.
In a few minutes all Peapack knew
that the bank had been robbed of $r>0.000.
A bank robbery and a circus in
one day! The town had never seen
such metropolitan excitement. The
watchman became the oracle of the
hour. His story gradually accumulated
additional details about the fight he
had put up before he was overpowered.
but his conclusion was always
iijtr suuie:
"And tiien the little man who limped
stuffed all the money in a green
satchel and out he skipped."
In the office of the bank the cashier
was bitterly cursing the fate that had
led him to make up a deficiency of $")0C
in his cash account the day before.
Night had come. Shifty Simmons,
tired out with his philanthropic labors,
slowly walked up Main street to the
hotel which he was gracing with his
presence. A low whistle sounded. Simmons
stopped and looked around with
ready apprehension. He had philanthropic
fuuds in his pockets. Through
the darkness hp perceived a short man
carrying a sate-hel aud limping around
the corner. A gas lamp glinted for a
moment on the satchel. It was green,
Shifty Simmons gave a stage start and
followed. Ills air was determined. lie

self.
The short man limped through the
Iowa and out into the country. Aftei
an hour's walk he jumped over a fenee
and ran nimbly over a freshly plowed
field. Shifty laboriously followed
keeping close to a fringe of trees thai
bordered the field. The short man went
10 a little tool house and obtained a
shovel, with which he dus a deep hole
He then opened the satchel. Shift}
saw him abstract a few yellow backed
I Mils, leaving the rest of the contents.
He then placed the satchel in the hjle,
carefully covered it uo nut tbp shovel

stole away.
Shifty Simmons now took a pvomt

sneaked up to the tool house and began
groping for the shovel. Enter the
trained beasts? two large, cavernous,
bounding, resounding and ravenous
bulldogs?who dashed across ihe field
from the farm house in the next lot.
Shifty lied. lie spent the night just
outside the? fence and kept an unwinking
eye upon the spot where the olive
colored satchel lay buried.
As a strict mr.tter of history it should
it should be stated that it started raining
in torrents shortly afterward, and
that the rain continued all night. It
would indeed often seem as though nature
was not above a joke.
At daybreak next morning there was
unusual activity in the field. A number
of hired men appeared with spades
and lumber. Shifty shook some of the
water from his clothes and climbed
over fence.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"We're going to dig potato pits," they
replied.
Shifty didn't like this development.
It seemed to him that these prospective
potato pits were much too near the
buried treasure. He asked for the
owner of the field and found in him
old Amadee Plerson, who had bought
one of h's watches the day before for
$10.
"I've just been looking for you to pay
you back that $19," began Shifty solemnly.
"It's been troubling my mind."
"Oh, that's all right." replied Amadee.
"I'm not kicking. That was business
and I got valuable experience. Anything
I can do for you?"
"Why, yes," answered Shifty. "The
circus people want to rent a field to put
some old circus wagons and things on.
I'll give you $20 for a year's use of this
field."
Amadee scratched his head with a
puzzled motion.

come themselves," he remarked. "Still,
it's none of my business. I was just
going to put some improvements on
this lot and I'd figured on making quite
some money out of it. I'll let you have
the field for six months for $230 and
not a cent less. And I'd want the cash in
advance, seeing as I don't know you.^
'Til take it," Shifty replied, after a
suitable pause. "If you'll give me a receipt
I'll give you the money. Immediate
possession?and say, just chain
up your dogs at night, will you ?"
That night, in another pouring shower,
Shifty Simmons dug up the precious
satchel. He carried it lovingly to the
tool house and opened it carefully under
the flickering glim of a little lantern.
He picked a neatly folded note
out of the satchel and rend:
"My boy Eph limped like the bank
burglar and Josh painted the satchel
green. We lay for you. The American
farmer is quick to learn and it's a bad
business to cheat him out of $19.
"AMADEE PIERSON."
in conclusion it may oe set uowji,
judging l'rom Shifly's subsequent remarks
and manner, it would seem that
there are few things so irritating as for
a man to be tripped up at his own
game.?New York Evening Sun.

can be omitted whenever a short jacket
is desired. The sleeves are full, with
turn-over cuffs. The skirt is circular.
with a habit back, an<l has a circular

Mlsae*' Mouse Jacket.
Blouse jackets with tunics, or skirts,
are among the smartest of the season's
garments, and are exceedingly becoming
to young girls. The very attractive
May Manton one, shown in the large
drawing, includes the stole collar and
the new wide sleeves. The original is
made of tan colored etamine and makes
part of a costume, but the design suits
the odd wrap equally well.
The jacket consists of the ffont, back
and under-arm gores of the blouse ana
the tunic. The back is plain, but the
fronts are gathered at the belt and
Dlouse slightly. The tunic is smoothly
fitted, and i6 joined to the lower edge,
the seam being concealed by the belt.
The stole collar, which finishes the
neck and fronts, is trimmed with applique
and stitched with corticelli silk
and is arranged over the edges. The
sleeves are snug at the shoulder, but
full at the wrists, where they are gathered
into bands under the flaring cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is five yards twenty-one
inches wide, two and threeeighth
yards forty-four inches wide, or
two and one-eighth yards fifty-two

Flowers on Hat* Popular.
Tim flmvnr tnmie and flower crown.
or flower brimmed hat. is an Increasing
favorite. A pretty fancy is to make
tlie crown entirely of foliage (any one
variety preferred), and place a single
large rose* or effective cluster of small
blossoms on one side. Some of the
smartest of the new hats (and new
fancies are shown daily iti the leading
shops) are either in white felt or chip.
Manila or Leghorn, simply trimmed
with a wide braid of ecru or yellow
lace straw, wound and twisted softly
like a ribbon around the crown, with
I a loose spray or cluster of cherries,
small pears or little apples, and their
foliage thrust through a knot placed a
little to one side. These fruits, as well
as clusters of white thistles, are very
effective.
New Pre** Fabric*.
Among the new dress fabrics is j1.
silk gauze called vaporin, as sheer and
tilmy as chiffon, of silky lustre and
beautifully adapted to dressy modes
wherein much tucking and shirring
is used. While speaking of dress
fabrics, there are many new silk-andwoolen

Shirred sunbounets are to be used l'or
outing wear. They are simply one of
the novelties of the season. For coun

of shirred mull and fine thin lawn.
Some models are seen made of flowered

feather hones. Broad, long ties .ire
used on all models.
Leather Wrist Bags.
For the best grade of wrist bngs Saffian?a
species of morocco?is ihe preferred
leather just now and a rich red
is the best liked color. Lizard, alligator,
walrus and sea lion leathers have
not altogether lost prestige and there
is a tendency for leather covered handles
in place of the familiar chains, the
latter it is claimed proving injurious
for the gloves.
Used on the Smartest Gowns.
Manv mock jewel ornaments are used
on the smartest gowns, in buckles, buttons,
and even tassels and fringes, and
Indian bend work is so "modish" in
chains, girdles, fringes, medallions and

who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal.j

"There is a general objection on the part
