SUMMER SOFA PILLOWS.
The sofa cushion is always a matter
of house boM Importance, as much of
the household comfort depends upon It.
In summer It demands a special con
sideration, because It should both look
and be cool, and must be pleasing In
annearance. and be of a nature that
will launder easily.
A pr-tty summer ushlon cover is
thus made: White linen crash Is mark-
. d .fT Into squares, of which every ai
ternate one Is embroidered In Italian
ui work. This work Is not as dlfficul
as it looks. The linen Is fastened in a
frame or on stiff paper, to give a firm
working surface. Each square that is
to be worked Is Ailed with "weaving
and the various lace stitches and the
borders of all the squares are finished
with "binding stitch." The linen

The cushion Is finished on the edges
with Insertion of heavy lace. One
should always ren:ember In "making
up" a cushion that the down puff It
self should measure two Inches longer
than the outer ewer. These down pil
lows ran be bought ready made, and
one should order with this In mind. By
having the under pillow larger the cor
ners of the cover are forced full and
(he whole pillow Is thus well filled and
so holds Its shape, as it will not do if
the cover is large.
U'hen the emhroidery on a cushion
cover Is soft and pliable the cover can
readily be sewed to its lining wrong
side out and turned, but If the em
broidery is rich and likely to be dam
aged by such treatment the proper way
to make up the cushion Is to sew both
sides separately to the down pillow It
self. Square the cover perfectly, turn
the edges round all four sides, and top
sew them lightly to the seam of the
cushion. When this Is In place turn
the edges of the fabric which Is to form
the ba k and top sew this to the sarn

burns do not usually appear immedi

ten days, though sometimes delayed
for months. Some persons are very
susceptible, others are not affected in
any way. Injury may be avoided by
interposing a thin grounded sheet of
aluminum, or by keeping the time
within safe limits, and it is concluded
that an exposure of five minutes at a

minutes at twenty inches can do n "

brought to notice an interesting indus
try of India. This cloth is a kind of
raised colored painting on cotton fab
rics, and it has been made by tVu Af i
dis for many generations, but the me
dium used has been a mystery. It is
now shown that the medium, known as
roghan. is a peculiar product of tr.e
saf flower seed. Roghan is a thick-j -ly-Iike
substance, prepared only at
Peshawar, and is obtained when the
oil pressed from the seed is boiled for
twelve hours and then thrown hot Into
shallow pans of cold water. Before use
it is mixed with mineral color atid
drawn out into fine threads on a point
ed style, with which the pattern is
traced by the Afridi artists. The cloth
is heavy for dress, but is adapted to
household draplngs. Tests have proven
that roghan is a superior waterproof
ing material, with probable advantages
over linseed for linoleum manufacture.

Mr. Walter Rosenhain. an Erellsh
writer, points out that the sun's
heat may supply a vastly great
er amount of energy than is
now yielded y coal, and that this
may be used at first for raising fuel
plants, or vegetable products giving
large returns in heating power. Under
the pressure of necessity, means will
doubtless be found for getting even
greater returns from the solar heat by
decomposing the carbon dioxide of the
air directly, the air carbon then serving
as fuel. Already in Germany alcohol is
being produced as a cheap fuel from po
tatoes, and it seems able to compete
with other fuels even in a land still
having much coal and little sunshine.
In cloudless lands like Kgypt. the sun's
energy, as Prof. John Perry has cal-
energy. as Prof. John Perry has cal
culated, is nearly equivalent every year
to that of a layer of coal a foot thick.

The color-blind, those in whom the
perception of light is normal but with
a defec t In the distinction of color, are
divided by Mr. P. W. Edridge-Gr&en
into classes based on a theory of color
evolution. A patient almost totally
color-blind in one eye has given an un
usual opportunity for study, and the
spectroscope has proven that he an.
just perceive the red and the vi"Iet
of the opposite ends of the spectrum,
even these being diluted with the gray
that takes the place of all interme
diate colors. This is what should be
expected, the colors of greatest and
least wave-length being first separat
ed. Other cases demonstrate further
that in successive degrees of color
blindness the green at the middle '
the spectrum appears next, then yel
low, then blue, and finally orange,
completing the series. The color-blind,
therefore, are classified in accordance
with the number of primary colors rec
ognized. If the normal-sighted be
called hexachromie. thos who see Bve
ccdors are pentachromic. and otters )
are tetrachromic, trichromic nd di
chromic, the totally color-blind bing
monochromic.
