(“Lucile.”)
FOR once it would seem that we
are not to have many. or. In
deed, any, “freak” fashions,
the majority of the models prepared
for the coming season being—l am
truly thankful to find, and to pro
cla m—distinguished by a delightful
discretion ns well as daintiness j
An appealing "femininity” is, I
should say, the keynote of the com
ing styles and symphonies —so
there should be special fascination
for all of you in every item of your
new Autumn an 1 Winter outfit. .
For evening wear sleeves are often *
conspicuous by their absence, a
mere jewelled etrap itfording the
trie and somewhat precarious look
Ing support for a bodice cut in liar
lugly decollete faxbion about the
bust and beneath the aims. But I
should hardly think that any woman
would appear thus c’ad—or rather
unclad except pe-hup-t on the stage,
and even thene 1 w< .Id deplore auch

A semi and delicately' suggestive

evening models sleeves quite short

a wide outstanding frill of net""’"‘lng
sometimes used as a finish and
looking rather effective, too, when
in its pristine freshness and crisp
ness. But, oh! imagine what it
will look like after it has been sub
jected to somewhat careless and
continuous pressure at a dance, or
even temporarily suppressed be
neath a cloak, and then you will
probably and wisely decide to
adopt some other sleeve scheme.
Just in conclusion, too, I would
give you : hint concerning the prob
able advent of some dresses which
are modelled on the attire of the
"moujik” or Russian peasant, the
distinctive feature of the corsage tn
such cases being the narrow band
of velvet or galloon or fur, which is
carried in an absolutely straight line
from one shoulder to the other Be

Outdistances Nature’s Work
{From Hearst's Magazine For October)
Romantic Life Story of the
Man Who Got His Training
With Edison.
In HEARST'S MAGA
ZINE for October, among
many other highly interest
ing articles, is a short story
on the accomplishments of
Dr. Edward Acheson, by
Sidney Johnson.
In part Mr. Johnson says:
INSTEAIr of waiting until a man
is dead, it is a pretty good
scheme to send the flowers while
he is alive and well and able to
enjoy them.
No life story Is more romantic
and reveals the ups and downs in
life, its lights and shades, its trag
edies and its successes, any more
than that of Doctor Acheson.
By his brain, materials that were
worth a thousand dollars a pound
twenty years ago art now produced
for twelve cents a pound.
His two great inventions are car
borundum and graphite made arti
ficially.
Dr. Acheson's great achievements
have all been the "utilization of ac
cidents." to use his own modest
phrase.
Edward G. Acheson was born at
Washington, Pa.. March 9.
The boy improved every oppor
tunity to study. He saved up his
pennies, and v?e find him going to
a boarding school at Sewickley, and
afterward to an academy- at Belle
fonte.
He had his ups and downs, -most
ly downs, not realizing that all the
time he. was getting an education
and finding out a great number of
things about mines, oil wells, coal
pockets, railroading, the manage
ment of men, and the use of ma
chinery.
In 1880, no name loomed so large
on the horizon of American affairs
as that of Thomas A. Edison.
He heard Edward Acheson ap
ply for -work, and he gave him a
job in the drafting department at
Menlo Park.
In 1881, Mr. Acheson went abroad
and spent some time In the service
of Mr. Edison. But he wanted to
get back to America and tackle
some big, difficult propositions, and.
if possible, work with the chief.
So back to America he came, again
finding work at Menlo Park. Fame
was not long in coming to him.
On the Lookout.
Somebody told him about the
value and the need of a good abra
sive, and that there was no article
in Nature that would cut the dia
mond.
So Acheson was on the lookout
for an abrasive that would super
sede all others. He got the thing
In his head first, and then he dis
covered certain crystals on the
point of a carbon. Then it was
that he began to save these crystals,
and from this the idea of carbo
rundum was born
These first crystals were sold at
the rate of eight hundred dollars a
pound.
The same thing is being pro
duced now for ten cents a pound;
and the world is producing ten mil
lion pounds a year.
To produce eorborundum, Dr.
Acheson mixed coke with sand, and
turned through these a powerful
electric current. The electricity
leaping between the poles, twenty
feet and more apart, with the sand
and coke between, vaporiz'ed the
sand, and this cooled in the form of
carborundum crystals.
This was Dr. Acheson's first
great and far-reaching discovery.
The second invention, which, in
some ways, is greater than the
first, came when a degree of elec
tric heat was applied sufficient to
detompose the carborundum, just
as the sand had formerly been va
porized. When this was done, the
substance was found to be pure
graphite. Here we get a fulfill
ment of the law that the opposites
of things are very much alike.
Graphite is a substance that has
been long known as black lead. It
is discovered in limited quantities,
diffused over the whole world. Very
seldom, however, is it found in .suf
ficient quantities so it can be mined
to advantage.
Graphite made artificially is the
undisputed invention of Dr. Ache
son. It is not an imitation graphite.
It is the production by man in a
very short space of time of tile
same article that nature has taken
thousands of years to produce.
The first business of the Acheson
Graphite Company was to make
rods of electrodes for use in elec
tric furnaces. Next, graphite was
used for filling dry batteries.
Next, it was discovered that
graphite was a very efficient pig
ment for use In making paints for
painting metals.
Produces a Lubricant.
It wap not until th* summer nf
1906, however, that Dr. Acheson

Carborundum in powder form
succeeded in making a graphite
that was soft, non-coalescing, and
eminently suitable for a lubricant.
This is the very antithesis of car
borundum. and yet the process em
ployed in its production is very sim
ilar.

Dr. Acheson regarded this dis

much purer than ttfet which can be
obtained from nature as the crown
