source of great interest to her sisters in

No Japanese lady with any claim to
position in society dreams of walking in I
a rational manner. The step must bo

the staid, truo, aristocratic cleganco is '
thought to be cmbodiod in n somewhat
stooping, roundshouldcred attitude. j
Japan can truly bo said to bo the promised
land of batln, and in thoie do tho ,
ladies of tho landiudulgo to their heart's
content. Strango though it may sound,
it is ncvctholoss truo that "tubbing" has r
developed into a social kind of sport and '
recreation among, tUc,wuiA<M>. otJe:i#?qnTr,*
covered with hieroglyphics of tho spor- y
tivo tadpolo variety,are sent out by soino
society bud or blossom. Thoy read, fl
"Your delightful company is desired at i
informal luncheon." At the lower lofthand
corner is tho word "Tubbing." i
Everyone accepting is cxpcctc<l to bring \
her maid and tho necessary paraphernalia.
Tho baths are taken extremely f
hot, and are supposed to beautify tho ,
complexion. After tho bath tho maid
rubs her ladyship with rice chart and j
then uunoits her with somo delicate perfume.
8oap is carefully oschowod, as tho '
ladies say it makes the skin dry and
hard. Now tho shatnpooor, as the mas- '
cour in nallnd. is brou'ilit to perform her '
duly, which also includes tho ollico of '
manicure. Her ladyship is given a thorough
kneading und rubbing, and couioi
out of the ordeal with a color tlint rivals
the glowing* petals of tho dcop-bluahing 1
poppy. Now she Is provided with two
tiny aprons tied about hor Sw?i?* ? * v
^_**pBTr-nr7i WP, clinging bath robo of a
an exquisite shade. Assuming a kneel- i
ing posture, her maid takes a curiously
constructd box, containing a movable ,
ball, with which she rubs or rather pol- v
Ishes tho skin of tho neck and arms of n
her mistress.
After this comes the most important
part of the toilet?tho dressing of tho ?
hair. All Japanese women, high and
low, are extremely proud of their hair,of '
which, as a rule, they possess a vory
luxuriant abundance, but thoy do not F
hesitate to increase its wealth should na- c'
turo have been negligent in its supply. '
Tho Japaueso lurtioa do not "go in" for
the betwitchiug, tantalizing llutlliicss of F
liairdrc.ssing that our American young ?
women indulge iu. Hut thoro is prob- ?
Ably a reason for this in tho fuct that,
notwithstanding Sir Edwin's rhapsodies ji
about "Glistening/silken trosses," their c.
? ' hair is rather coarse. ti
' Embarrassing mistakes as to the married
or uiitQnrriod women are clovcrly ^
avoided by arrangements of tho hair. t(
The young women supposed to bo opon tl
lor proposals, part their hair in two or
more, strands, while tho married ones
simply coiub theirs iu a solid pompadour C1
roll. For stato occasions tho young
girls nllcct very artistic combinations. 81
In ono tho hair is coiled around a largo 01
ring of tortoise shell which is permitted
to gloaiu between the tresses. With this p'
style superb tortoise shell pius and combs
.arc the only ornaments permitted. In ..
other arrangements gold and silver
threads aru skilltully introduced as well
as exquisite tlowcrs of silver or gold tili* sl
grec, many of which arc ingcuiously m
constructed to open aud shut as tho w
fair wearer moves her head. A married
woman scarcely ever has uuy jewels
in her hair. If she does they must N
not be over llashy. The matrons gen- b<
'orally arraugc their hair iu a deep falling lc
chignon, ll' a widow wishes to siguify fll
ilicr desire to once moro assume tho bonds
of matrimonial bliss she dettly signalizes hi
her wish by urraugiug her hair iu n
heavy braid through which she puts a ei
very long pin. This braid is urranged g
horizontally near the top of tho head,
nud is so pronounced in its character as ^
to be almost aggressive. Agaiu, should ^
a widow prefer to cherish the memories u
of her past husband and iuteuds to re- ^
main apart from wedlock she mutely tolls v>
her desire to the world by combing her
hair straight back from the forehead ami
cutting it short in the reek. c
When a lady is preparing for some
"swell" entertainment she, like her sisters
in other parts of the world, seeks the
rouge pot as a bcautitlcr. ller ueck is
given a touch of nice powder, her cheeks ''
a tinge of rouge; then a few thin dots of
gold paint arc put on the "?'
wen as tfto upper one, is
painted a bright vermilllou. Iler oyo- ^
brows arc made as slender arches as possible
and earetnlly darkened. Even the "
ntwl nnetrils are frivou careful 0
v> O"
attention, the former being curled, the P
latter tinted.
Now she puts on her umlcvgnrinonts c
of soft tiulcd Bilk. An outer wrap, the a
fc
kimono, of a9 superb material as my
lady's purse can afford, is then put 011.
This is, as a rule, embellished by
tho family crest or monogram in
not less than six places?on each
sleeve, on cither Bido of tho
neck, in tho middle of the back "!
and in front. Tho most striking J
feature of the costume, the obi, an J
enormous sash, is now added. This is
held in place by a silken cord, or by a
handsomely wrought buckle. Tho only '
inartistic feature in the make-up is a 1
pair of ugly white socks with padded '
.eoles, which are worn in tlio house. '
. "When my lady goea " out they arc re- <
placed by a pair of sandals of fino '
plaited straw or laqucred wood. Japan- <
csc etiquette forbids hor wenritig cloak '
or bonnet of any kind; in cold weather *
she contents herself with a strip of silk, <
which protoets her cars from freezing. 1

It is estimated that the total power of
ho great waterfall is equal to that of
5,000,000 horses. To any ono who has
sen its might/ Tolumo this does not
som absurd. Tho present schomo will
nlj utilize less than one-hundredth of

Tho offcct of this great ontorprlse may
ot bo as groat as tho sanguine* remark
f tho Buffalo man who has boon quoted
rould Imply, but it will bo very great,
if courso many ot tho manufacturing
iitoroUs which will bo attractod by
heap power will gather in tho little
own which hovers 011 tho brink of tho
atarnct, and which has in tho past been
otublo principally for Its big hotels, its
hunorous cabbies and its Indian bazaars,
hit a plan has been devisod whereby tho
tower will bo cloctrically transmitted to
hillalo with comparatively small loss, so
hat this city will undoubtedly couo in
or many of tho pudding's plums. Tho
illngo of Niagnra Falls itself has gono
rild with a boom almost Western in its
uthusiasm.
The first attempt to utillzo tho water
>owcr of Niagara Falls was inado by
loraco A. Dey, who in 1850 built tho
dd Hydraulic Canal running from above
ho rapids to what are now known as
ihoolkopf's Mills on tho brink of tho
ataract. This canal discharges its
rater into whoolpits only sixty feet
ecp, which in turn discharge at a point
lore than 100 feet above tho level of
I10 rivor below the fails, so that moro
ban three quarters of tho possiblo force
1 wasted. Tho old Hydraulic Canal
ivos in ail only about 6000 availabls
,orao power.
Tlio new method Is tho sumo prlnclplo
lifTerently applied. A canal has been
ut from above tho rspids as in Dey'a
lan; but it runs only a short distance
cforo It rcuchcs the pits, which aro 120
out deep. A sheer fall through groat
epos is thus obtained, which is nearly
>s groat us the height of the falls.
Thus far tho work was comparatively
asy. Tho fun came in giving the water
, vent from the bottom of tho wheolpits.
rius was accomplished by tho construcion
of a great lunuol through solid limotone
rock, from tho wheolpits to bolow
he falls. The water abstracted from
ho river thus flows for a short distance
tirough the canal, thon takes its big
ninblo through tho pits dowu to tho
iirhino wheels, and theu flows through
ho tunnel to the river's lowor lovol.
This tunnel is 8713 feet long,, twentyight
feet high aud eighteen feet broad,
a semi-circular form. It is bricked up
loug Its whole length, an undertaking
rhich lias consumed 13,000,000 cubes
f baked clay, and which, had it been
lono by a singlo bricklayer, would have
ecupicd his entire attention for twontyour
years. It was thought to bo a bet*
er plan to employ 7000 mou iu its con(ruction,
however, and they havo mangod
to dig it and line it in a little less
ban threo years, having kept hard at it
lay and night. Tho total cost of tlie
interpriso so far has been u trifle of
12,500,000.
With the wheelpits already finished or
aider way, the plaut will develop a
immiuium 01 aorse power, ims
trould bo moro than sufficient to run ;
eveu of tho largost steamships nfloat,
iid steamships arc not easy things to
uu. It is highly improhnblo, however,
bat the power from tho falls will be
tilized in ocenu navigation,
Hut if the dreams of the projectors of
bis big entorprisc como true, somo
bings almost as remarkable as that
could be are likely to occur. Its promoters
have been devoting almost as
such attention to studying how to transmit
the power as they have to studying

nd practical arrangement for use by
rcnien and others to facilitate rof)C
limbing, and, at the sauio time, to perlit

oards joined by a hinge, a hole passing
iirough both tho hinge aud the boards,
nd tho extremities of the latter aro prodded
with straps, which can bo fastened
o tho feet of the man using the apparaus.
The method of climbing involved
n this arrangement is simple. When
lie feet attached to the boards are lifted
he ropo is free, but the momcutthe foct
ire pressed down on the two boards tho
ope is firmly gripped. It is only necessary,
therefore, to lift the body with

hen be hold by the hinged clamps until
mother lift is made. By tho uso of a
lelt to hold the body close to the ropo
he hands may bo left freo for work.?

Ibe alligators. Among the points of distinction
tbo following sre the most
noticeable. In the crocodiles the socelled
canine tooth, the fourth counting
from the front l"?? t mvsvu IU tug a
tide of tne upper jaw, and is therefore
risible when the mouth is closed, while
in the alligator it is received in a pit in
tl>* upper jaw, and Is therefore invisible,
or nearly so. Again, in the crocodiles
the hind legs have a fringe of flattened
scales which is wanting in the alligators,
whose legs arc round. Crocodiles are
found in Africa, Asia, the tropical parts
of Australia, Central America and the
West Indies; while the alligators, with
tho exception of one species discovered
some few years since in Chins, are found
only in America. They are all of them
terrible destructive creatures; the young
feed principally on fish, but {is they
grow larger they attack every animal
that they can overpower, dragging their
prey into tho water, and so drowning it.
It has been said that more people nro
killed by crocodiles than by any other of
the wild beasts of Africa. To those who

The crocodilia are, as every one is
aware, thoroughly aquatic in their
habits, and their peculiar conformation
enables them to attack and iciso th^{
prey unawai^s^ft^ the back' part of
tflrefr throats, their eyes and their cars
are placed on tbo upper part of the head,
ro that when in the water they can
breathe, sec and hear, while they are
themselves practically invisible. When
thuy dive their nostrils and ears aro
closed by lids or valves, and their eyes
are covered by a transparent nictitating
membrane. They aro further furnished
with au arrangement which prevents th#
water from getting down their owj
throats when they arc holding large animals
under the water to drown them.
The dentition of these reptiles is peculiar:
the teeth are sharp and conical, and are
hollow at the base, and each tooth serves
ah the sheath of another, which will in

the ancient belief, the
crocoane noes possess n tongue?is
leshy, and is attached to the bottom of
die mouth. Anvl finally the lower jaw
s hinged at the very back of the skull,
