SADDLE HORSES: A SPECIALTY ‘
' TINTS . TRUE TO LIFE.
COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY AT LAST IS
AN ACCOMPLISHED FEAT.
Pictures Made in 1v Shades. After Thirty
Years of Experimenting James DIcDon-
ough Hit on the Secret. Now Backed
by $500,000 Capital.
The results of this long awaited ac-
hievement are not simply garnish reds
blues and yellows. Pictures have been
taken that show seventeen distinct
shades of color. The process was hit
upon overnight. Years of time and
thousands of dollars were spent before
success was reached.
For thirty years James W. McDon- -
ough has been laboring 'in Chicago to
reproduce photographs in colors. Thou-
sands of experiments were performed
till one day, fifteen years ago, he got up-
on the right track. Capital then came
to his aid, but {the successful end was
not ’yet.
Over in Dublin, Ireland, Prof. Joly,
the scientist, was working along the
same line. Success crowned his efforts
a. few months ago. He sought letters
patent in London and in Washington.
To his utter astonishment he found Mc-
Donough ahead of him in an applica-
tion for an American patent.
men, thousands of miles apart and
working independently, had hit upon
the secret.
The process requires a specially ruled
screen and specially ruled paper. A
multi-colored screen, ruled by very fine
lines, formed of dots or small particles,
is employed. Fundamental colors of
the spectrum are preferably used for
these lines—say orange red, a yellowish
green and a violet blue.
The screen is ruled with lines in these
colors, about three hundred to the inch.
This screen is placed in front of and in
close contact with an orthochromatic
plate, which is then exposed in the cam-
era to the object to be photographed.
The ordinary black and white negative
is thus obtained in lines corresponding
to the screen in register.
From this negative 9. positive is made
in the ordinary way On glass or paper.
If new the screen, or a similarly ruled
one, be laid on the positive, and moved
until the positive and screen are in reg-
ister, the picture comes up in original
colors.
Nothing could be simpler. It is only
nature’s method of shading the rose its
delicate pink and the sky its transpar-
ent blue. None of the complicated ap-
paratus of cruder methods that have
failed are needed, no adjusting of lights
and no manipulation of colors.
The paper screens are for positives,
the glass ones for transparencies. Se
fine are the color lines on them, and so
perfectly proportioned in shade, that
they show white whenfprinted, just as
the combined colors of the spectrum
are white when properly "mixed.
By it either instantaneous or timid ex.
posures, absolutely perfect in detail
and tint, can be taken. The finished
photograph looks like an ordinary piece
of work marvellously colored by hand;
but, so simple 'is the process, and yet so
accurate, that it becomes merely me-
chanical.
Experiments in Cattle Feeding.
The finely finished lot of - steers fat
tened at the University State Farm are
now held for sale in dressed form in the .
shambles of the Twin Cities. These
animals, some twenty head in all, are
two and three years old respectively,
the major portion of them being nearer
two than three years. The average live
weight was about 1,250 pounds.
of them were fed to determine wheth-
er a moderate or a heavy meal ration is
the best in a prolonged period of feed-
ing. Others were fed to show the rela-
tive value of different feeds in fatten-
ing, and yet others to test the value of
oil cake as a finishing food when fed in
large quantities along with ground
corn.
This year it was found again that
steers, fed an average of ten pounds of
meal per day during the entire‘fatten-
ing period, make as much gain during
the five months of the experiment as
those fed an average of fourteen pounds
per day.
The feeders of the State use much
larger quantities of food, as a rule;
hence the inference that much of the
food thus used must be wasted. In
other words, when animals are being
finished they will take more concen-
trated food than they can properly
digest if it is fed to them. It was
found that a free ration of oil meal and
corn produced extraordinary gains for
a short period, that is to say, for about
seventy days, but that if continued
much longer than the period named the
animals begin to get shaky on their
limbs. In other words, they could not
be carried much longer than seventy to
eighty days without a modification of
diet—Minneapolis Times.
Justified His Slowness.
An eight-yearoold San Rafael boy
was being lectured on obedience one
evening.
“I told you that you could play with
the Wilson boys till 5 o’clock,” said his
mother. “Here it is seven and you are
just home; why didn’t you come when
I told you?" '
“I did, mamma.”
“Don’t tell me a falsehood. Why
didn’t you come home at five o’clock?”
“I started home at five.”
“Then you stopped to play on the
way?”
“No, mamma; sure I didn’t.”
“Do you expect me to believe that it
took you two hours to walk half a mile?
I think I shall have to punish you for
telling me falsehoods.”
“Honestly, I started‘ home at five
o’clock and came straight home.”
The mother took the boy into the
kitchen and took down a whip. He
turned pale and tears welled up'into his
eyes.
“N ow, sir,
truth?” .
“Ye-es, mamma; Charlie Wilson gave
me a. mud turtle—and I was afraid to
carry it—so I led it home.”

DREAMS Aeour Honsss.
How a Race was AccuratelyLDescrlbed
Beforeha‘nd. _
Dreams, like girls are “queer,” and
dreams wherein horses figure largely
take rank among the queerest. In the
year eighten hundred and ninety some-
thing, a gentleman entered a promising
pacer for a race to come off some time
during the summer. He was speeding
the horse on the last of the snow, and
wrote to his wife, who was visiting in a
distant town, that the prospects for a
race horse were rosy. That night the
lady, although not especially an ad-
mirer of horses, dreamed that she was
sitting in the stand watching the finish
of therace wherein her husband’s horse
was to take part. Replying to the let-
ter she said his horse would win the
race, the last heat several lengths ahead
of a gray horse, the only other one she
saw in her dream, and that the judge
announced the time 2:20 1-4. The latter
caused a good deal of'amusement in the
family during the months previous to
the race, and when the day came five
horses started, among them_ being a
dark lgray. The dream came true
in every respect, the race being won in
three heats, and at the finish the gray
was the only one in it the rest just com-
ing into the stretch; time, 2.20 1-4.
This dream I can vouch for, as I saw
the letter weeks before the race took
place, says Tony Rock in “Trotter and
Pacer.”
Another gentleman who was stopping
at an inn beside the track where his
horses were stabled dreamed that he
saw the window of the stall containing
a valuable young horse being [stealthily
opened from the outside. Then fire
flashed and fell among the straw’ rec
vealing the horses in a state of terror,
pawing and snorting loudly. The dream
was so vivid that he awoke and fancied
that he could in reality hear the horse
striking the walls of his stall. He par-
tially dressed and ran out, and not a
moment too soon. Some miscreant
hands had thrown a cloth burning and
soaked with oil in through the window.
This had ignited the straw, and in a
few seconds more the horse must have
perished, though fortunately as it was
he was but slightly injured.
Lobster Life and Habits.
Lobsters are essentially nocturnal
animals, lurking for the most part in
their holes during the day, and coming
out to feed on the sands by night. It is
says the San Francisco Post. A partic—I f0I this reason, no 0:0le that they de-
ularly ugly young Chinese was sitting pend so little upon their imperfect eyes.

and dirty little shop that the young
lady entered to buy some punks. As
the Chinese was wrapping them up the
young woman turned to her companion
and said in Latin:
“Isn’t he a. beauty?”
“Thanks, I’m glad you think so,” re-
plied the Chinese in English, without
glancing up.
“Did he understand that?” she asked
in French.
“Perfectly,” said the Chinese.
The young lady smiled very sweetly
and asked: '
“Were you ever back East, John?”
“Oh,‘yes. I was in New York four
years,” he replied.
“Did you live on Mott street?”
“Oh, no. I lived at the Continental,
while I was taking the classical course
at Columbia.”
VALUE OF A MUSICAL EAR.
The Possessor of One Can Train It for
Practical Purposes. .
In the management of rapidly mov-
ing machinery a musical ear, which
quickly detects variation of pitch, and,
therefore, of speed, for the pitch de-'
pends on the speed, is of considerable
use, says the Chicago Chronicle. , A
farmer with a good car can detect at
once if the thrashing machim is proper-
ly “fed,” for its speed increases and the
sound it emits is of higher pitch than
when an insufficient amount of grain is
supplied, and in the same way the elec—
trician can tell if an electric motor is
running at its due speed. With a mu-
sical ear the physician more readily
interprets the sounds elicited by per-
cussing the chest, and the potter more
easily separates the sound from the un-
sound.
It is a moot point whether the musi-
cal are naturally the better readers and
speakers, but there is no doubt that
they improve quickly when taught elo-
cution, for they can appreciate the
pitch of their own voices and so correct
their errors. A good ear includes an
acute appreciation of time or rhythm. ,
She Would Have Enjoyed It.
A woman was on the witness stand
before a badgering lawyer, and was
vainly endeavoring to give her testi-
mony about an assault of which she
happened to have been a witness. The
lawyer, as too. often happens, treated
her almost as if she were herself a. crim-
inal.
"You say he knocked him down,”
said the lawyer. “Now I want to
know how he struck.”
"Well, sir,” began the witness, “he
stood just——”
“I don’t care how he stood,” inter-
rupted the lawyer. ”I wan’t to know
how he struck.” - A
“Well, sir, I’m trying to tell you,”
said the witness, growing flustered.
“He stood right by———”
“I can’t stop to hear you tell anything
about his standing,” said the lawyer. “I
wan’t you to tell me simply how he
struck?"
"I’m afraid my words won’t explain
to suit you, sir,” said the witness, eye-
ing her tormentor resentfully', “but if
I had a broomstick here, and was near
enough, I reckon I could show you how
he struck l” '
It is said that the ant has a larger
brain in proportion to its size than any
other living creature. The advice, “Go
to the ant, thou sluggard," is therefore
worth attending to. Ants have not only
instinct, which, by the way, is remark-
ably developed in them, but reasoning
faculties and powers of calculation that
are somewhat wonderful. '
of water where light becomes of very
slight importance. On the other hand,
it is probable that the antennae end in
organs of smell of a delicately discrim-
inative sort, and that by their aid the
lobster knows friend from foe an food-
stuff from enemy.
Our crustacean not only roams the
sea bottom in search of food, but also
digs and burrows in the sand and mud,
like a maritime mole, in pursuit of shell
fish. These he catches and crushes
with his hammer-like claw, extracting
the soft parts to eat at leisure. But he
is also an angler after fish, which form,
perhaps, the chief portion of his diet;
and he preys to a great extent upon his
cousins, the crabs, whose thinner shells
and more exposed habits make them an
easy booty. In aquariums, lobsters
also display cannibal habits; if one lob-
ster looses a claw his neighbors unani-
mously turn and rend him. That this
evil habit exists still more; abundantly
in the native state we have unfortu-
nately more than ample evidence, for
in the stomachs of old specimens the
shells of their juniors and even of hen
lobsters have been frequently recog-
nized. Such ungallant conduct almost
seems to justify the extreme sentence of
boiling alive, to which lobsters caught
by man are usually subjected. As to
the question whether their prey is liv-
ing or dead, lobsters are far from par-
ticular. All is fish that comes to their
net. They rank, in fact, among the
chief scavengers of the sea, and though
they habitually catch and eat living
animals {they do not despise dead and
decaying specimens. They are at once
the tigers and the hyenas of their world,
they double the parts of the eagle and
the vulture.
The Benefits of Water Drinking,
It is possible to prevent many diseases
and cure others by drinking large quan-
tities of water. An eminent French
physician says that typhoid fever can
be washed out of the system by water.
He gives what would amount to eight
or ten ounces of sterilized water. Ex~
‘periments have been made with diseases
caused by bacteria which demonstrate
the curative value of water. In cases
of cholera, where the system secretes a
large amount of fluid, enormous quan-
tities of hot water are of great benefit
and will cure many diseases without
other medicines. One doctor says that
perfectly sweet, fresh cider, taken in
large quantities, has been known to
cure cases of bowel complaint. The
acid kills the bacteriaLWhich are Speed-
ily thrown out of the system. Hot
water in fevers is of great use, and an
ordinary tumblerful of water as hot as
can be taken once an hour is one of the
best remedies. The important thing is
to get into the system and out of it a
sufficient amount of water to prevent
the accumulation of ptomaines and tox~
ins within the body. .
