TINTS TRUE TO LIFE.
COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY AT LAST .IS
AN 'ACCOMPLISHED FEAT. '
Pictures Blade in 11' Shades. After Thirty
Years of Experimenting James McDon-
ough Kit on the Secret. Now Backed
by’ssoopoo Capital. V
The results of this long awaited ac-
hievement are not simply garnish reds

taken that“'~show ' seventeen distinct
shades. of color. 7‘ Thee-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 photographsin colors. 'Thoui
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. Both
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
mul i-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 3 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 3
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 wasn'printed, just as
the combined co ore 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.

Experiments in Cattle Feeding.
The finely finished lot of steers fat
toned 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. Some
of them were fed to determine wheth-
er a moderate or a heavy meal ration is
the best in a _prolongediperiod 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
com.
This year it was found again that
steers, fed an average of ten pounds of
meal per day during the entire fattene
‘ 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 modificationlof
diet.—M1nneapolis Times.

DREAMS ABOUT HORSES. _
How a Race was Accurately Described
, Beforehand.
Dreams, like girls are “queer,” and
dreams wherein horses figure largely
take rank among the queerest. In the
ytat‘cig‘fl‘ten bandwidth} niuecf same-
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
diet-ant 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 the race wherein her husband’s horse
was to take part. Replying to the let-
tershe 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 deafof amusement in the
family during the months previous to
the race, and when the day came five
horses started, among them being a
dark gray. 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‘ c‘om-
ing into the stretch; time, 2.23 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 Iste'althily
opened from the outside. Then 'fire
flashed and fell among the straw’ re-
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
for this reason, no doubt that they de-
pei. d so little upon their imperfect eyes,
all the more so as they inhabit a depth
of water where light bezomes 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 roam the
. sea bottom in search Of food, but also
digs and burrows in the sand and mud,
like a maritime melt, 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 reud 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-
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 manydiseases
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 bacteria, which 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
suficient amount of water to prevent
the accumulation of ptomalnes and tox-
ins within the body. .

the Judge was saying seemed to be a .

I hardly realized that there was~ any

dissenting voice. and in five minutes
time we were in the box again. and ten
minutes later the prison er was profusely

walked out as if we were dazed, the

smothering. Next morning I was all
right again. and I made it a point to
question my fellow-jurymen. In each
case I discovered an experience similar '
to mine, but we hardly dare say we had
been hypnotized. That winter a travo

jury put itself in his hands at a private
seance and every man on it was what is
called a ‘sensitive.’ That settled the

went up from Omaha to hunt jack

every snipe spent the night. They were
business men, and the only time they
could devote to hunting was Sunday. -

was yet shy of mid morning when the

on the knoll just beyond the water. He
hadn't gone three steps when there was
a “Scalp l’” and a brown—backed snipe
was ricochetting out of danger. The
swamp was full of them, and the hun~
ter was so absorbed in his sport in less
than half a minute that he didn’t see
Uhlander coming down from the house.
Uhlander had started apparently at the
first crack of the gun. He came down
to protest, wearing the flat-bottomed,

tail of his eye he took in the wooden
slippers. Then he ‘went on shooting.
The snipe were thick and not wild. He
kept picking them up all over the
swamp, and all around the edge of it.

\and shouted Hang! hang!” At last
the Omaha man got the last snipe. It
fell close to where Uhlander was stand-

recently, 'the Rev. Leslie W.’ Sprague
was installed'as pastor, and at the same
time and by the same services his wife,
the Rev. Lita Frost 'Sprague, was in-
stalled as assistant pastor. It is so un-
common for a woman to be installed in
the pastorage of a New England church
particularly in Boston, that an elabor-
ate service'iwas arranged; the church
.was beautifully decorated with flowers
and palms, and the venerable Dr. Ed-
ward Everett Hale delivered a sermon.
Mr. and Mrs. Sprague have been in the
ministry together for the past seven
years. They were graduated together
from ~ the Theological Seminary at
Meadville", Pa., and in 1889 they were
married. The following year they were
ordained in All Saints’ Church in Chi-
cago, and soon afterward were called
to a. church in Munroe, Wis.
there they went to Pomona, Cal.,where
they succeeded in building a church in
the roughest part of the town. Their
success in Pomona was such that they
were called to the pastorate of the
Second Unitarian Church in San Fran-
cisco. That was two years ago. They
came to Boston to the New South
Church in January of this year. ‘
