Gloves in mushroom shades are the fad
of the hour , tlic newest tint being called
"oyster. "
Girdles and belt buckles In metal , set
ftllh a variety of gems , appear to be gain-
log In popularity.
Note pads with silver or Ivory covers
ornamented with silver are more popular
than ever as articles for the chatelaine.
The latest patriotic design Is a crystal
button with a spread raglo on a shield.
The coloring of the eagle is especially at
tractive. _ _ _
It is the proper thing to wear embroid

Very exquisite hosiery Is worked in tiny
rosebuds , violets or for-get-me-nots.
Superb -white watered silk , such as de
lighted the stately dames of olden times ,
will be a favorite material for bridal dresses
next season. The moire fabrics of today ,
Hlbbon trimmings will be much used In
autumn millinery on both hats and toques.
This Is a sensible fashion , since ribbon Is
not easily hurt by uncertain autumn
vjeathcr. The wide Ulrectolre toque still re
mains popular.
The newest bathing suits are made of
bunting , with a coarse lace yoke and neck ,
waist , knee and sleeve bands of cream mili
tary braid. Hunting sheds the water more
readily than brllllantlnc , but the beat ma
terial of which a bathing suit can be raado
Is all-wool or wool-and-sllk Jersey cloth.
Yellow is a color that appears to be gainIng -
Ing constantly in fashionable favor , par
ticularly in the realm of millinery -yellow
tulle , lace. Spanish blonde , crepe llr.sc and
deep orange and rich olive velvets are
mingled with double yellow hollyhocks ,
primroses , honeysuckle sprays and large yel
low-hearted water lilies and roses.
Many of the English serge dresses worn
on the beach arc In colors of tan , gray , ma
rine blue , cadet blue and Cuban red , and a
number of the red gowns are made up with
KUlmpcs or yokes of tan crepon , shirred
above the low-cut full blouse , which hao
deep , turn-down revcrs at the top. The
small shoulder puffs are of red serge , with
closely fitted forearm portions of tan color.
however , show much smaller waves.
A method much employed In trimming
autumn foulards Is to carry frills of inch-
wide ribbon round the silk to suggest a
deep flounce and Its heading , and to supple
ment a yoke collar , high stock epaulets and
cuffs with two rows of frills in the same
fashion. Foulards arc now made with tight
backs showing few seams , but the front is
always full.
A pretty little gown of tea-rose pluk
French zephyr goods , \vlth tiny raised lines
of white , worn by a very pretty debutante at
a noted summer resort. Is made with one of
the popular two-story skirts , the lower one
cut with a decided flare and set on to the
upper half wRh two very small ruffles
bordered with very narrow pink ribbon. The

A locomotive of the Pennsylvania railway -
way recently drew a train about three-
quarters of a mile lone , made up of 130
lo-ideU coal CM 9 , from Altocna to Harrisburg -
burg , 132 miles , in twelve hours. The weignt
of the train behind the tender was 5,212
tons , the locomotive weighing 104 tons.
Kven locomotives have a big "pull" occa
sionally.
Most Chinese mandarins pass the whole
of their lives without taking a single yard
of exercise , The lat Nanking viceroy
( father of the Marquis Tseng ) was consid
ered a remarkable character because he al
ways walked 1,000 steps a day In his private
garden. Under no circumstances whatever
la a mandarin ever seen on foot in his own
jurisdiction.
An unusual Instance of mountain railway
construction , which at tbo present time Is
being carried on with remarkable rapidity ,
is the line from Scheldegg , Switzerland ,
round the great glacier of tbo Elger , past
the Monch , up to tbo very topmost point
nearly of the Jungfrau , the height of the sta
tion near the summit being 13,668 feet above
the level of the sea , and this Is justly con
sidered one of the most notable of mod
ern engineering achievements. During the
last season travel has been practicable from
Interlaken to Scbeidegg by rack railways
already in operation , one of these leaving
the adhesion road at Zurel Lutschlnon , the
other at Lauterbrunnen. The new railway
will , when completed , take passengers 7,000
feet above Bcheldegg. The locomotives are
to have cogwheels Qtted Into a rack , the
openings In which correspond to the teeth
of the wheels , the rack being placed be
tween two steel rails of the ordinary ad
hesion pattern. The motive poner is to bo
supplied by electricity , while the tunnels
and galleries will bo lighted throughout by
Incandescent electric lamps. It Is expected
that the line will be In operation to the
top of the Jungfrau in three or four years.
The farmers of Iowa are making suc
cessful a system of Insurance against hall ,
a company organized for that purpose at
DCS Molnes five years ago having now
more than 30,000 policies and more than
110,000,000 In risks , covering over 2,000,000
acres of farming lands. It has paid In
losses $7.000 In 1S93. $35,000 in 1894 , 581.-
000 in 1S93. $ : S1,000 In 1S9C. anil { 204,000 In
1S97 , or a total of { 600,000. The average as
sessment has been 7 cents per acre a year.
The concern Is mutually co-operative. Mem
bers pay a fee of J2 and 2 mills on the
amount on which insurance is asked , and
the association insures its members , their
heirs or assigns against loss or damage by
hall to the growing crops to an amount not
to exceed $600 on 160 acres , according to
government survey. No loss Is paid which
occurs later than September 20. This form
of Insurance protection against a danger
which constantly menaces western farming
has been found as satisfactory In practical
test , it Is said , as the tornado associations
of the same region. A farmer whose crops
arc Injured and who docs not receive pe
cuniary compensation gets one bushel of
the kind of grain destroyed for each 100
bushels raised by the other members of the
co-operative company.

NEW YORK , Aug. 23. "You can almost
read the lesson learned by the Brooklyn i
during this war In the stars , " said Admiral'
fichley with twinkling eyes. He waved one
hand suggestively toward the American
ensign flaunting from the taftrall staff of the
famous armored cruiser as be spoke. "As
for the share of the crew and this ship in
the victory of the Santiago fight , only one
thing can be said they did their duty as
Americans and American ships always Dave
and always will. In all my experience 1
hae never before witnessed such fatally
accurate and deadly shooting as was done
by our fleet as It closed In on Cervera's
squadron during the battle of July 3. Dut
all this Is an old story. That we happened
to be In the thick of the fight was a piece
of good luck for which we are all thaikful.
The speed of the Brooklyn bad something
to do with It , of course. And you can give
the praise for that to those who designed
It , and the faithful crew below in the engine
and flre rooms. They worked as never men
worked before. You wish me to give your
readers an Idea of the efficiency of the
armored cruiser class of war ships as proved
by the Brooklyn's experience ? "
The rear admiral smiled and glanced to
ward a number of navy yard officials Just
boarding the ship , adding In his character
istic , genial manner : "I am afraid I must
refer you to Mr. Hodgson , the navigator.
He will doubtless give you the information
you desire. "
Lieutenant Hodgson IB the cruiser's
navigating officer. Admiral Schley said of
him In bis report of the Santiago battle :
"The navigator , Lieutenant A. C. Hodgson ,
was most steady and conspicuous In every
detail of duty , contributing to the accurate
firing of this ship ( Brooklyn ) In her part of
the great victory. " He seemed to think
that his testimony could not be of much
Interest , but he finally consented to talk
briefly.
"The lesson learned by the Brooklyn , " he
began , "Is the same as that learned by every
ship In the fleet. We probably can give
better testimony from the fact that we were
struck by the enemy's projectiles a greater
number of times than any other vessel , but
really the only additional knowledge
acquired Is that Spanish shells of the
caliber fired by Cervera's ships are useless
against the three to eight-Inch armor carried
by the Brooklyn. The marks and scars show
that we were reached about twenty-five
times , but , as you see , we are still afloat.
"The recent vrcr proved conclusively that
vessels of the Ilnok'rn typo find ample
protection In the proterUve dci k , which Is
three Inihcs on the flat and six Inches on
the slope. In the three-Inch belt and In the
eight Inches guarding the barbette turrets.
It I * evident that the constructors were
happy In their selection of the armor. The
Injury reported to have been sustained dur *
Ing the Santiago fight , when one of the
compartments was flooded below the water
line , was due to a water valve being opened
thtough tome unknown cause.
"In retard to the question of armament
It has been claimed In some quarters that
a battery consisting entirely of 6-Inch
rapid-fire guns would be more efficient than
the Brooklyn's present battery , which In
cludes eight S-lnch and twelve C-lnch rapid-
flrcrs , and a secondary battery of twelve
6-pounders , four 1-pounders , four Colts and
two field guns. The question Is susceptible
to argument of course , but I think the
8-Inch guns of the Brooklyn did their share
In the Santiago fight. We fired 100 rounds
of 8-Inch shells. Those , combined with the
S-lnch projectiles fired by the Iowa , Oregon
and Indiana , worked terrible havoc on the I
Marie Teresa , the Almlrante Oquendo , the j
Vlzcaya and the Colon. One of these shells
struck the latter ship , landed in the ward
room and exploded , wrecking the compart
ment and killing a number of the enemy.
The Marie Teresa was struck by an S-lnch
shell from our ship , which entered the
i side Just forward of the port beam. The
| projectile burst and disabled the four crews
/of the guns on that deck. The 8-Inch
I breech loader Is a formidable weapon and It
I is certainly not out of place on an armored
cruiser.
I "The official reports made by the ships
of Admiral Sampson's fleet prove that the
| main results of the battle off Santiago
, were achieved by the S-lnch and lower
calibers , and the rapid-fire pieces. Too
much praise cannot be given to the men
at the latter guns for their extraordinary
. skill and ability. The perfect hall of pro
jectiles showered upon the fleeing ships bj
the 5-Inch rapld-flrers was almost beyond
belief. Captain Eulate's testimony that 'the
. Brooklyn's fire on our broadside was fright
ful and the men could not stay at their
guns' proves how the crews worked the
pieces. Although twelve of these terribly
destructive guns are carried , only six could
be used during the running fight , as only
that number would bear on the broadside ,
but the six guns did their work nobly. The
Vlzcaya was hit six times by the Brooklyn's
5-lnch breech loaders , the Infanta Marie
five , the Cristobal Colon four and the
Oquendo five. One of the shells exploded a
torpedo on the latter vessel with terrible
effect This shows a total of twenty hits ,
which , when the fact that the target was
moving rapidly Is taken into consideration ,
Is really remarkable. No , taking It all In
all , I do not believe the battery of the
Brooklyn can be Improved. Results
naturally speak for themselves and the
results obtained by the ship In the recent
war are eloquent.
"The efficient work of the marines man-
| nlng ( ho secondary battery mutt not be
furgotten They handled tbo light guns
coolly and nkllltully , notwithstanding their
j exposed position , and the question as to
the advisability of utlllilng the marine
guard In tuch work should bo considered
settled. "
llnttlmlilltK uml Crnlnrrn ,
The lieutenant was asked how , In his
opinion , armored cruisers compared with
battleships as proved by his experience on
board the Brooklyn , from the manner of
lib reply It Is evident he Is an enthusi
astic advocate of the Brooklyn class.
"Both battleships and fast armored
cruisers are necessary in every fighting
fleet , " ho said , "but , I think , frora the
greater range of the latter and their higher
speed , they are really of more value than
the battleships. The moral effect on an
enemy naturally exerted by craft like the
Indiana or Iowa must be admitted , but for
quick , sharp work , great speed and cruis
ing range and effective action the armored
cruisers cannot be beaten. What better
fighting machines can be found In any
navy than the New York or the Brooklyn ?
They have a speed of twenty knots or
more , splendid batteries , ample armor , a
coal supply of 1,461 tons and a radius of
action of 6,058 knots at a ten-knot speed.
With the new colonial policy of the United
States , to which they are not yet com
mitted of qourae , but which Is surely
bound to follow , such vessels as the New
York and Brooklyn will be of the greatest
value. Future naval building programs will
certainly Include that type of ship. "
Men Cool as Thouali at Practice.
In reply to a question as to the con
duct of the Brooklyn's crow during the
Santiago action , Lieutenant Hodgson spoke
in warm praise. The coolness and daring ,
the utter sangfroid shown by all on board
from the oldest man down to the youngest
apprentice , was something absolutely mar
vellous ,
"It it had not been for the series of thuds
proclaiming the landing of the Spanish shells
against our sides , and the terrible rending
and crashing sounds as the enemy's ships
blew up , one would have thought tbo whole
affair simply a drill at general quarters.
One of the lessons learned by the Brooklyn
( but It is really superfluous ) , Is the won
derful capabilities of tbo American man-of-
war's man as a fighter. It has not re
quired years of actual practice to place the
Yankee bluejacket at the top of the heap.
\Ve have men aboard here who , If dressed
as citizens , would give a Quaker odds In
meekness of appearance , but when that fleet
slipped out past Morro castle and mide for
the west they fought like demons. If you
should ask one of the boys what he thought
of the fight , he'd probably grin and shrug
his shoulders. It was merely a 'scrap ' "
The question of the torpedoes did not In
terest the lieutenant. They apparently
played such a small part In the late war
that It would be useless to discuss their
value. The experience of the Oquendo ,
howorer , will probably result In banlshlnc
t.-rrHew from drtvk * aborc the
i water line whenever It l praitl.-nblc .

j The one peculiarity In the construction of
ihe Brooklyn nioi < t prominent to the casual
observer Is her lofty ( and uuly ) smoke fun-
np ] . She carrlw three which tower above
the decks almost as high ns the signal
masts. These stacks were advocated by
I Chief KnRlnecr Melville , nnd the testimony
of the engineering force of the cruiser Is
i In their favor. The lofty funnels really
glvo the result which Is usually obtained
by thp use of forced draught n device
hk > h experience has proved liable to lead
to the ruin of the boilers. The forced
draught system causes severe expansion
nnd contraction strains , nnd usually start
, leakage at the tube ends. This Is not
present In natural draught , nnd the
I Brooklyn's experience has shown that as
' gcod results can bo obtained by lengthen-
I Ing the smokestacks as by the employment
of the torced draught system.
The lesson learned by the Brooklyn In
the Spanish-American war can be cm
bodied In these recommendations , which
\ > lll be made by the proper boards :
1. That S-lnch guns and rnpld-drers of
all calibers should bo given the greatest
prominence.
2. That all wood work so far as possible
should bo abolished In war ships.
3. That the pipes of fire mains should bo
laid below the protective deck.
4. That light nrmor nnd great speed are
requisite to an efficient cruising vessel.
