CliTi Drrnn.
Little girls are best dressed when
wearing simple little frocks that are
rpiite free of fuss. The very charm
ing May Manton model shown Is ad
mirable In many ways, Including the
latest feature In the novel plastron
bertha that finishes the low neck. The
original is of China silk, with blue
figures on a white ground, and Is
made with short sleeves and worn
without the guimpe; but can be varied
and made high by the addition of the
latter, while countless materials are
equally appropriate. For warm
weather, dancing sch'ool or party
wear the design is admirable as It
stands and childish, simple silks, pale
tinted cashmeres and the like are ap
propriate. For simpler occasions
washable materials and darker colors
can be used either with or wlthour the
separate guimpe. Or the waist can be
made with high yoke and long sleeves.
The waist is simple and full, closing
nt the centre back, and Is finished at
the low neck with the plastron-bertha.
The skirt Is straight and full gathered
at the upper edge and joined to the
belt.

inAcruiKa the sun a heat.
Id 3 teacher nt what rate this evapora
tion takes place and few will Le able
to answer. In crder to study the force
cf the sun Professor IUichanan has,
according to Nature, devised what he
calls a ".Solar Calorimeter." By
means of this apparatus the sun's rays
ore concentrated by a reflector upon
the surface of a silver tube In which
is water, the area of all parts being
accurately measured. Now the heat
from the sun changes the water ia
the silver boiler to steam and this is
condensed by a suitable arrangement
and measured. Thus by noting the
time required, the area of the various
surfaces and the amount of water
changed to steam the sun's heat can
be calculated.
Observations made at Sohag in
Egypt showed that the sun could
evaporate to steam more than seven
teen and a half cubic centimeters of
water per square meter of surface
per minute. No allowance has lxen
made for instrumental imperfections.
They certainly exist and by making
suitable corrections we find the force
of the sun per square meter to be
equal to about one horse-power. By
making suitable calculations the au
thor reckons that each meter of the
sun's surface emits 43,000 horse-power
per minute.

nr.n.r, rrrtds l?ie following Illustration
and Information In regard to a modi
fication of this principle for the u.e of
textile manufacturer, laundries r.nd
others, requiring chloride of lime for
bleaching or disinfecting purposes,
such as laundries, hospitals, etc. In
this device the production of the
bleaching liquor Is continuous as long
as desired, aud the current for Its o
cratlon can be taken from the ordi
nary house mains. The apparatus
consists of a box of slate, swung o:i
trunnions, with an Inlet for the brlr.o
and an outlet for the sodium hypochlo
rite, which Is the active chemical
bleacher. The current passes la at
one end of the box, and passing be

brine, disintegrating it and producing
the bleaching solution. It is asserted
that the bleaching liquor Lj suitable
for bleaching raw cotton, yarns, jiUo
of flax, paper, clothes, etc. For v.sc ia
laundries the apparatus Is somewhat
modhlcd in form and attached to tin
washing tuts. Thi3 solution Is claimed
to be less harmful to the fibres of the
threads than the usual bleaching pow

means here described losing only two
per cent., against some eight per cent,
for chloride of lime bleach. The ra

Filipino Letter Carriers.
The queerest mail carriers In the
United States postal service are the
Igorrote Indians of the Philippine
Islands, which are shown in the ac
companying photograph.
The Postmaster-General at Wash
ington may make all .the rules he
pleases about shirt waists and other
proper uniforms for United States
mail carriers, but the Igorrotcs will
disregard them all. Their idea of a
uniform is a breechcloth, and noth
ing can change that notion.
It must be admitted that this cos
tume shows off their figures to good
advantage. The Igorrotes, though
small, are well proportioned men, and
their muscles are firm as a profes
sional athlete's.
These couriers carry mail from
Dagupan to Baglo, Bouguet Prov
ince, the round trip being one hun
dred miles for 1, and consider them
selves making good money at that.
Their principal diet is rice and fish,
and though it may sound somewhat
strange "dog" Is their chief luxury.
In leaving Dagupan It is no un
usual sight to see them each with
from eight to a dozen dogs. They
pay twenty-five to forty centavas for
each dog, according to his size and
condition. They travel naked through

of pleasure, and Is nn economical In
vestment, especially when of the kind
here described: Buy at a tin shop one
small tin can, costing five cents, and
a large one costing about ten cents, la
which the smaller can be set; five or
six cents worth of glue will mend a
great many broken articles or will fas

Put the glue In the small cup with a

Artistic Sitting Kooin.
A picturesque feature In a house is
to have a sitting room on a different
level from the hall. In a beautiful
country house on the Sound the draw
ing room Is two feet lower than the
long, low raftered hall, making the
celling just so much higher. As one
stands on the threshold at the open
folding doors before descending the
couple of broad steps that lead into
the room the effect is charming, espe
cially as the room is treated in a way
to enhance the Impression of- sudden
brightness and freshness. The pre
vailing color in the hall is Indian red,
with dark carved furniture and a med
ley of curios in the way of rare pot
tery, brasses and coppers, choice spec
imens of armor, etc., everything in
rich, dark tones. But at the 'drawing
room door the scene is transformed;
the walls are hung with beautifully
painted tapestries representing the
heart of the woods, flecked with
checkered shade and sunshine, most
realistically rendered. The floor is
3tained a sunny brown and covered
with mossy green rugs, while the
French windows directly opposite
open out on a terraced garden simply
ablaze with colored flowers, framed
In by the pale green silk curtains.
