As I predicted some time ago, the
French wool delaine bas settled down to
be one of the real favorite stuffs for
dresses for such occasions as make cotton
undesirable, and nothing could be pret-
tier, for this stuff is so soft and dainty
that it is thin and yet firm euough to
put anything in the way of trimming on.
The colorings are delicate and lovely.
And one other thing calculated to °make
them popular is the fact that they do net
THE FARSEEING CAIVIRA,
It Will Flay a Great Part,tri Future
Astrottomical Work.
"The great astronomical discoveries
of the future," said one oe the Tulane
faculty, "will undoubtedly be made by
an artificial eye infinitely more sensi-
tive and powerful than human vision.
I refer, of course, to the censure, The
natural eYe has its distinct limitations
and has gone about as far as it can,
and now the photographid plate is tak-
ing up the work at the point where na-
ture leaves off. It requires a certain
definite amount of light, you know, to
affect the optic nerve so as to produce
vision, and Many of the stars are so far
away that less than that required
quantity reaches the earth. The con-
sequence is that an astronomer might
look for a year in the right direction
without seeing anything at all, and Le
telescope, however powerful, would be
of the slightest a,ssistaece.
"But with the camera the conditions
are exactly reversed. The longer a
camera looks at anything the clearer
the object becomes. A faint ray of
light from an invisible star falls fee
hour after hour on the sensitive plate,
and each moment increases the clear-
ness of the picture, just like dropping
-Water wears a hole in a stone. I have
star photographs the melting of which
occupied four whole nights, and the
planets which they depict have never
been and never will be seen by man.
"Within the last few years hundreds
of invisible stars have been definitely
located and catalogued. We can't see
them, but we know they are there, be-
cause whenever the camera is directed
to 'that part of the heavens their hid-
den image appears on the plate. Dur-
ing the eclipse I secured a fairly good
• photograph of the phase of totality,
and the picture shows all the surround-
ing sky dotted with little points of
white. They are stars which did not
give out enough light to excite the
nerves of vision, but which were seen
plainly enough by the faithful artificial
eye in the box of in camera. '
"Another great advantage of the pho-
togeaph in astronomy is that it consti-

Love Birds.
It's the proper thing now for the
amorous swain to send a pair of love
birds to his inamorata, says a Phila-
delphia dealer, who has them for sale
at $10 a pair, including the cage. Love
birds are charnaing little things. They
come from China and Java, where they
are as plentiful as the English sparrow
is here. In fact, they resemble the
sparrow in build, although they are
pure white and have quite large beaks
of a delicate pink. • They are very af-
fectionate and will sit for hours press-
ed closely against each other on their
perch, billing and cooing in fine style.
The dealer, who is a florist, says in
confidence that he has them on sale
because flowers are too common in
summer for the young men to send the
girls, and he thought the love birds
would jut about fill the bill.

The Breach of Proutise Itecord.
Many records of different kinds have
been beeken of late, but it will take a
long time indeed to break the one that
has just been made by the Bavarian
gentleman, air. Alois Frankenberg, re-
marks the New York San. His case
came up the other dna. in the assizes
court of Gratz, Austria, in which the
testimony against him, the truth of ',V
which was admitted by himself, footed fp'1_
up a total of 120 cases of breaches et 17,"ett
promises to marry. Young girls, old ad
!maids, widovii, brunettes and blonds, ;?..ld
fat and lean, loug and short, all fig. la'
ured in his gigantic dossier. A.nd yet •tl.!;tai
his mode of procedure wassimple
enough. After he had spent a!Illiaitune 4
of 100,000 marks leading a wi d life in f;,,e4111
different countries he returned ti e14
Gratz penniless.
• His last resource lay in his gooa
looks and winning ways. He put an si
advertisement in several papers invit •
ing ladies desiring to marry "a gentle-
man of fortune" to put themselves in
communication with him. A_nd they,
did. His bonfles fortunes were phenom-
enal, even though his "fortune" was
fictitious. In a short time he had
sweethearts galore, and, to buy furni-
ture for nice flats in their castles in
Spain, be obtained money from them.
That is what brought him into trou*
ble. After sparking,. all that was prof-
itably sparltable in Gratz he abandon- t4a,
ed his beloved ones in that,town and 'el,
set up in business as a matrimonial
merchant in Munich' svhere his success ,,a
was still more extraordinary. Then he
returned to. Gratz, where he was de. ,
notmced, arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced to. imprisonnteet for two *
years and six months with hard labor. '
