The taffetas where there is a fan cy dot or figure, the whole overthrown with a handsome moire pattern, Is a great favorite for very rich dresses. There Is some plain moire shown, but the most of the moire is arranged In fancy design—that is, that illuminated, lrregu lar streak which makes the design, instead of being apparently put on haphazard,seem wrought Into set figures like convention alized leaves or flowers. This makes a I very rich skirt to wear with a fancy waist of light chiffon or silk. Black chiffon, too, is largely used for very handsome waists, I leaded, embroidered or plain. I saw ono very good thing among the crapes. It is a waterproof crapo which comes in three or four weights. It is not rainproof, but water has no effect upon It, and it may lie soaked in water indefi nitely, and it is just as fresh as ever when | dried. This will lie a very great benefit ; to ladies who are exposed to all sorts of bad weather, which Is so destructive to the beauty of other crapes.

The curious statement Is published in the organ of the Palestine Exploration fund on the authority of Dr. Ixirter that the Dead sea loses every day by evaporation several million tons of water. Dr. Ixirter says this enormous mass is easily drawn up by the rays of the sun, the valley wherein the sea lies being one of the hot tee. points on the globe. This vast basin is remarkable aa being the deepest depression upon the surface of the earth. It is 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, aud rocky walls rising $.000 feet in height surround it on all aides It is nourished only by the river Jordan, aud there being no outlet its entire tribute of water must be absorbed by evaporation only Dr. Lorter says that the waters of the lake are couceutratiug more aud more, and so great has its density become that thebu man body floats on the surface without the slightest exertion of hands or feet T h e S tu den t W aa P assed.
