For some time the hearts of the sum mer girls have been torn by the appar ent irrepressible conflict between the prevailing style of puff sleeves and the bathing dress. Now, it is a well-known fact, that sea garments must take on a certain slightly modified form, the characteristics of land habiliments. This stern edict was carried out in regard to bathing. But the result was lamentable says Cleveland World. If the dress really got into the water and, in spite of the funny photogra phers, some of the dear girls do get wet down would come the proud fabric of the sleeves with a comical result. Then somebody devised a sort of wire birdcage arrangement, and it became very popular on land. When the sea toyed with it, however, the effect was funnier than before. Xow rises a Brooklyn genius who has invented a rubber balloon affair which is to be inflated and put inside of each big sleeve. The really useful part of the things are that they will act perfectly the part of life preservers, and the fair maiden who sports a pair of them can laugh at Nep tune and the sea serpent, and at the same time be filled with the proud con sciousness of looking au fait when she emerges from her plunge and walks up the beach. They have already appeared at Manhattan Beach and, needless to say, created a sensation. Thti3 does utility continue to be wedded to fashion. There will doubtless be discovered a use for overgrown theatere hats one of these days. ROASTED BY BURNING BRICKS Tho Horrible Death of Jacob Klein, a ItrickiAaker Living Near Cairo. Jacob Klein, a wealthy brick-maker. met a horrible fate near Cairo, 111., reccntly. He had two large kilns of brick In process of burning, and about 3 o'clock in the morning the watchman discovered that one of them was bulging out, so that it was in danger of falling. He called Mr. Klein and was told to brace the wall. This he refused to do, when Klein sprang from his bed and said he would do it nimself. Going hastily to the kilns, he started to paea between them for the purpose of seeing what the matter was, when the workmen tried to restrain him. Breaking from them, he passed in just as the lower part of the wall fell out. The redhot bricks caught him, burying him from the feet to the waist, and holding him fast, while the flames from the kiln crept closer and closer. His cries for aid were agonizing and could be heard for half a mile, but owing to the in tense heat no assistance could be rendered him. The fire department was called, but owing to the distance it was nearly an hour before they arrived and got the mass cooled down sufficiently to permit of men going to his assistance. When he was finally taken out he was dead, the llesh from hi3 breast down being baked to a crisp. Mr. Klein had been engaged in the business since 1SC0.
