Whoever expects to flml n utone that will Btnnd from century to century, de rldliiK alike the frlKlu" ruins and scorch ing solnr rays without need of repa ra tion, will, Indeed, search for "the phll nopher's Btone." Thcic la scarcely a substance which, after having been ex posed to the action of the atmosphere for n considerable time, does not ex hlblt proofs of "wctitlicrlng;' It may oven be observed on the most densely compacted siliceous rocks. Tlio fullest extent of this Inquiry ran only be to slucJdate relative duration nnd compar ative labor of appropriation to useful er ornamental purposes. By examining tlio various produc tions of nature we find evident proofs of hor Industry In all ages; changes have been going ou from the remotest antiquity to the present time on every ttulwtunco that comes within our obser vation. All the actual combinations of matter have had a former existence In Bom other statu. Nothing exists In jxituro but what Is likely to change Its .condition nnd manner of being. No ma -tcrlnl Is so durablo as always to retain Its present appearance, for the most olld and compact bodies have not such a degree of Impenetrability and ho closo a union of the parts which com poao them as to bo exempted from ulti ma to dissolution. Kven In tlio great globe which we In habit nothing is more evident to geolo gists than n perpetual series of altera tions; thcro can be discovered no ves tige of a beginning, no prospect of an end. In some bodies thcM changes are not so frequent nnd remarkable ns In others, though equally certain nt a xaoro distant period. The venerable re mains of Egyptian splendor, many of them executed in the hardest grnnlto between 3,000 nnd 4,000 years since, exhibit large portions of exfoliation and gradual decay, thereby following the primitive, Immutable and universal order of causes and effects namely, thnt all objects possess the material! of which they arc composed only for a limited time, during which some power ful agent effects their decomposition and sets the elementary particles nt lib erty again tb form equally perfect com binations. Thus by divine nnd unerring laws order Is restored nmldst apparent confusion. Architect. RECENT INVENTIONS. To protect nu open carriage from rain au Improved cover Is adapted to encir cle the neck of the driver and project outward, to be attached to the edges of the wagon body, with a wnterproof cap connected to the neckband of the cover by flaps. Liquids can be automatically mens vml by a new faucet, which has a bar pivoted on Its upper side, with u sliding weight on tlio bar and a support for the vesbol to bo tilled, the weight of the liquid tilting the bar nnd cubing the outlet of the faucet.

A LITTLE LOOK AHEAD TO AU TUMN FASHIONS. t)re-.e in Which Skirt not llodlcc J)o Not Match Arc u I.ute Kiincy Klientli Hklrt Oolite Oiit-Cluumc In THllor Btylen. New Tork correspondence: CM M Kit U quite over, from the view point of tlio de signer of new fash Ions, though not all elaborate dreswrs have hnd their (ilnns for summery linor y fulfilled. Summery effects linger hi the new design, but fall Is the period aimed nt even when changes of fabrics are hard ly noticeable, .lust now the straws In dicate more elenrly the desires of fash ionable makers than of their run tomers. That K most of the new fancies are put for ward exnrrliuentnl- ly, and not enough time bus passed ns yet to try them out. One fancy thnt li.VTK ML'MM KH'S HINTS OK FALL. hceiiin reasonably sure to lake hold Is for iinndsoniu dresses hi which skirt and bod 1 e do not mulch. The ronlmrji has been (he rule so long that thet dicssrs will Iiohmwh ,u distinct ii 1 1' of newness evi'ii when goods and liImmhiK me not mark ed by noelly. Hut In the advance gunrd of thee gowns the skirt Is not of a neu tral color and design and thus Intended to "set oil" the bodice. KlTnrt Is made, rather, to liitvi both hmlict and skirt unique, ('iiuvnse and upon grenadines In black and In colors are much used for these, and are almost iiIhii.n made over silk of a miiti-iiKiing color. This silk hariiiotil7.es with some rciilurc of the hod Ire, though not to the point of making hodlrc and skirt seem to belong together. Au example of lids fashion appears In the initial picture wherein Is sketched a KVI.N MOltK Sl'ltKI.Y checked green and black silk Ktcnmliue over corn colored tntletn. The bodice, of the tnlVeta, whs bunded with black elet mid finished with Ivory white hire. The fall models Indicate that the sheath skht N iiclt, well guno by. The Head of the later summer fashions Niiu'ttcsts thai thoiu-h lace will hold its own during the i-tiioltii: m'hmiu, it will not Im imlulKcd iu frivolously. The teiideuc.x iuciciiM's to cmpto.v eeu the lighter hires iu all over design and "Hut," Tile first gown lu the next plctttif was one of al most oiuitlcss bits of evidence on this point. Its bolero was ioi' while gill pine handed with narrow black elet. The diess good was idle grcon grenadine oer while silk, When all-over is not Used Insertions aie laid together with Its eftect. I.ace sleeves showing tltv arm through are not so much iu ogue at they wwre, Thv present fancy Is for the upper 414jf- solid 'sleeve, nnd the under sleeve puffy It transuarent.. It is pleasant to note that the recent tailor styles, those on which the fall modes will be built, are all against the emphasis of the bust line which was so long a disfigurement, at times almost marking the fashions with vulgarity. Two of the new Jackets appear In this picture, and it will be noticed that they allow natural llutncss Immediately in front, the result of the unbound figure. Tlieie is fullness hinder the arm that used to be crowded to the frout, and a length of chest of which women never used to he able to houst. This is espe cially becoming in nil tnllorcd dresses. In colors nud materlnls of tailor dresses there is little that is new, and in this ic speet the tw shown herewith were rep resentative. The first was dark blue serge finished with chamois colored clotb folds, rever facings mafchliig. Tlio other wns Oxford gray cloth. Its narrow folds weie a black sntin, and black and red figured silk furnished rever nnd cuff fin ish. The newer reception and culling gown nre subjected to a deal of elaboration. It is the custom to drive hi the country to make calls, nud the rijiiahotit or some species of dog cart or a' low nutomoblle Is the usual vehicle. When such a vehi cle Is used for the mere sake of driving. It Is the fashion to dress rather severely, hut when on calling bent the costume is dninty. Many automobiles are made without tops, that the woman within may carry n pnrusol and display II to entire advantage. These MtnMiadcs often arc very elnbornle, or If plain, then they show brilliant spots of color. Delicate cloths nre in favor for this style of dress, nud the newer cloths are wonders of fine ness. They are manipulated as easily as crepe, and isinsequeutly they tempt to needlework, Innumerable hand run tucks, wonders of overlapping edges and even hemstitching. Skirls nre often gathered lu a great many tiny conllugs about the waist, the fullness springing below, nr they are box pleated or nccordconcd, the latter fuslilon taking new vogue. About the li In of these dresses that tin1 artist puts in her coneliidlut; picture It may be said that the.t are not mine high ly wroiiKlit than the average, and that a far greater degree of elaboration is per mitted to Iter who likes it. The left hand gntvn was pale gray cashmere, witli fold trimming of white cloth. Above the seal loped and layered bolero were collar and yoke of white panne satin, which tlis I'ltOIMlKTIU. bodice belt matched.
