tpye in the present fashions The blouse and tunic were of a figur ed net edged with ball fringe anc with small crochet buttons down the side front This was worn ov er a slip of coral cotton Aoile and with a girdle of satin to match This is a splendid idea for mak ing over one of last es The tunic could be developed m a pretty net banding or fringe Instead of wearing a girdle the waist line might be finished with a silk cord or perhaps a row of fringe Some of the new lingerie dress es are worn with a small tunic over blouse like the one pictured here made in hlaek or dark blue chiffon edged with fringe to match with a girdle of velvet with a flat bow at the back or side School of Instruction A school of instruction will be opened here Thursday afternoon at 230 for instruction to -engineers and firemen 100 The Tribune one year ii iTtrnratftBWMiagiSg - i f Ingenious Methods of Producing Starjiing Effects TRICKS OF THE CAMERA MEN Expedients by Vhich Puzzling Situa tions and Incidents That Seem to Contradict the Laws of Nature Are Recorded on the Finished Film The ingenuity of man is exercised to a wonderful degree in the creation of novel and seemingly impossible situations and episodes for production in the moving picture shows and audi ences are often bewildered in trying to decide how the curious effects which at times seem to contradict the laws of nature are secured Yet like the conjurers tricks it is all very sim ple when the veil is lifted There are some scenes depicted which while amazing enough in their way do not puzzle the critical be holder in solving the ways and means of their making There are the railroad accident obtained by means of chil drens toys the warships and the aeroplanes which are also photo graphs of playthings the burglar in his unheard of performance of climb ing the front of a house and last but not least the man clinging to the ceil ing of a room The pictures explain themselves Hut when we see a man jumping out of a fourth story window see him fall fifty feet to the ground and then get up and run away unhurt we ask How i this possible The origin of the picture is very simple The fugi tive jumps out of a low window in the studio which is fitted up in the style of the desired room Then the photographing process is interrupted The next picture is taken in the street in front of a real house A life sized puppet is dropped from one of the Avindows When it has reached the ground the machine stops the acto puis himself in the place of the figure he reel is started again the man gets of up and runs away in nice manner auto accidents aim similar epiMdes are arranged Another impossibility a man swim through a river ami on the other side he climbs a leu foot wall without dif firully Origin of the pictures The man is photographed sliding from the wall into the water but in taking the picture th reel is turned wrong way so the motion is reversed when the picture i reeled on in the right direc tion The last obstacle in representing the seemingly impossible was cleared away when some clever mind conceiv ed the idea of stopping the photograph ing process not after a series of pic tures but after each single picture or after each two or three of them The work involved was enormous as eighteen pictures are taken every sec ondthat is to say about 50000 pic tures are required for a reel which is to amuse the public only ten minute But human perseverance has accom plished the task and the results ob tained are extraordinary The follow ing examples will prove it A pile of small stones is put on a black table and the apparatus is fas tened vertically above the stones Then a short turn of the crank and a few identical pictures of the stone pile are taken One of the stones is then removed from the pile another short turn which gives two or three pictures showing the first stones separate from the pile The process is repeated un til the stones laid aside by hand show the writing Good Night The lin ihed film does not show the hand that removed one stone after another but creates the impression that the stones arrange themselves in the font of magic writing Instead of the stones a lump of clay may be placed on the table and some kind of a figure is gradually modeled from it by hand but this hand being invisible it seems as if the figure formed itself In the same way a herring can grad ually be sent back into the tin can from which it was taken Garten laube Leipzig A Trifle Withered In his native tongue no one could have made more graceful speeches than M Pic but

grade of warrant officer in the navy forms one of those naval castes which are puzzling to the civilian says Searchlight Philosophy The warrant ollicer holds his posi tion by virtue of a warrant issued by the secretary of the navy The warrant rank is next below that of midshipman and consists of boatswains gunners carpenters war rant machinists sailmakers and phar macists The pay is graded according to the length of service and nature of the assignment During the first three years the pay on sea duty is Sl500 on shore duty 1123 and on leave or waiting orders S75 a year The pay rises with each three years of service until the time of service exceeds twelve years after which period the pay reaches 2230 while on sea duty 2000 on shore duty or detached assignments and 1500 when on waiting orders or when on leave All gunners are not warrant officers but when a gunner has attained a war rant officers rank he has under the commissioned ordnance officer charge of the ordnance magazines etc The warrant officer gunner is usually an apprentice with a good record ap pointed after examination upon the recommendation of the commanding officers When the ships carpenter is a war rant officer he is chief of all the arti sans and mechanics This force is called the carpenters gang and con sists of shipwrights plumbers pipe fitters blacksmiths painters and car penters mates After ten years serv ice the carpenter was formerly com missioned chief carpenter with the rank of ensign The boatswain is one of the most important of the warrant officers He has under the executive officer charge of the rigging anchors cable cord age etc lie summons the crew at all general evolutions and acts as as sistant to the executive in carrying on the general business of the ship The badge of office of the boatswain is his call or whistle COLORS AND NERVES Red and Yellow Are Said to Have a Stimulating Effect That colors have a profound psycho logical effect on human beings is a fact that should be emphasized Used in small quantities either in the cloth ing or in household decoration the color red for instance is most stimu lating both in the way of helping to overcome depression and quickening the intellectual processes But when used in any amount it tends to over stimulation with resultant nerve strain According to a leading Eng lish authority who has made a care ful study of the psychology of colors there are some people so constituted that they become violently excited fall intoLconvulsions or faint if obliged even for a short time to look at any thing vividly red The same effect has been noted from yellow In one instance the case of a man operated on at the age of thir ty years for congenital cataract it is recorded that the first time he saw yellow he became so sick that he thought he would vomit And that yellow has a nerve stimulating effect fully comparable with that of red is curiously evidenced by the statement of a friend of mine a shrewd observer who says Whenever the day is overcast or I have to do a piece of work calling for unusual mental exertion I always wear a red or yellow necktie I find that either color has a beneficial effect on my thinking apparatus H ton Bruce in Ainslees Bursting Steel An experiment that demonstrated the capacity of steel to endure greater pressure than the hardest stone was made in Germany Corundum was cho sen for the stone and small cubes of both substances were placed under pressure A weight of six tons smashed the corundum but forty two tons were required to crush the steel When the steel did give way the effects are de scribed as remarkable With a loud explosion the metal flew into powder and its sparks are said to have bored minute holes in the crushing machine Nev

Quality Hats are the very first to make their selections When Nature Vas Timekeeper In the British museum is a large stone composed of carbonate of lime which would serve perfectly as a day laborers calendar inasmuch as it would indicate to him every Sunday and holi day of the year though not the day of the month Moreover the stone is an actual time record of the work done for a long period in an English coal mine The Sunday stone as it is called was removed from a colliery drain When the miners were at work the water running through the drain left a deposit colored black by the coal dust Jt when no work was being done the water ran down clear and left a white deposit These deposits in the course of time built up the stone Each day of work left a black streak Immediately fojjpwedby a white streak made during the night Vi3e White streaks indicate the holidays and Sun days Harpers Weekly A Calamity Xi slibot My My So the story is true and your husband has really eloped with the
