on "Color In Nature" In the hall on the,
nrin noor 01 in city nan Saturday after
noon and evening. Mr. Dudley's train ar
rived too late to permit him giving the

The speaker Illustrated color phenomena
with the aid of lanterns and a screen and
made various experlmenta In the laws of
color absorption, and refraction. In plant
life color la produoed chiefly through ab
sorption, while In animal life It is produced
by refraction, said the speaker.
The latter part of fie lecture was de
voted to color photography with a series of
views taken by different methods of color
photography. It waa demonstrated that
colored photograph may be produced by
means of a glass upon which lines of ex
treme fineness have been scratched with a
diamond. It was slated that the finer the
lines were the truer to nature will be the
photograph.
The lectures were particularly Interesting

OMAHA REAL ESTATE VOTES
It's a cheerful note the Omaha real estate
mea have pitched for their spring song;
not a quaver In the song la heard, but all
are Joining In th hymn of prosperity and
good cheer for the city. 'All kinds of busi
ness has been remarkably good so far dur
ing the winter, the expected depreaakm suc
ceeding the first of'the year not having yet
developed, and atfangera remark the un
common activity on the streets. The de
layed building of the 190S season ha been
puahed .ateadlly through -the winter, the
weather having been remarkably favorably
for building operations, and the men who
were idle last summer during the labor
troubles are now busy. In every part of
the city new buildings are being put up,
and still the demand Is for more. One of
the problems that has not yet been solved
Is the question of how best to provide for
tha call for accommodation for th Job
bing house that are seeking new quarters.
Several projects have been presented at the
Real Eetate exchange and have there been
debated In a tentative way, without defi
nite conclusion. Soma of the mors con
servative , dealers ar of th opinion that
th building of that sort do not sffer such
attractions for Investor as do ths smaller
buildings that can be devoted to general
purpoaea. and yet all agree that under ex
isting condltlona the Jobbing trad of
Omaha Is of such permanent nature that
the risk of having a building left without
a tenant is remote. This Is a question still
open for discussion. .Just at present the
act property and small building have the
floor.
"Thla la the season when tha demand la
the real estate market la particularly for
acreage." aaya George J. Wallace, presi
dent of ths Real Eatate exchange. - "A
good many men are Jlke ths beasts of the
field In this respect. At this time of year,
especially when the weather Is aa delight
ful as It haa been this month, such men In
shops and offices grow restless and long
for th country. They an IS th aprlng
time; they plan for garden and chickena;
they want to get to digging In the earth,
and sowing and planting. Then they make
their annual determination to break away
from the eternal grind of store and office
and shop, and get out where they can have
room, get th fresh air. 'be independent.'

"Th result I that from now until March
I ireal estate agents will ba busy looking up
acre stuff. If it has a little house. aU the
better; If some fruit, better still. But
agents ars finding It difficult to get what
people want. Host of the buyer want to
keep near enough town or car line ao aa to
still hold their Jobs la the city, or so the
children can get to work or school In
town. Such places bavs been well picked
up in the paat two year. There are a good
many twenty, forty and elghty-acr tracts
that are favorably located that could be
profitably divided Into five-acre lota, and
would thus readily ae'U on reasonable pay
ments. Any Individual, firm or corporation
who would take up a tract of eighty or
1M acres, not over half a mile from car,
cut It up Into Ave-acre tract, put out
some fruit, build a few four or five-room
cottages, or agree to do ao for purchasers,
lay out a few streets and see that the
road to th land were put In good shape
would at one meet ready sal at good
pronta.
"By tne way. there la a good deal of
choice acre property just ouulde of the
city limits that does not sell because the
public roaala leading to or past ' It are in
bad repair. Some movement ought to be
mads toward making not only passable,
but good drivewaya the country roads
around Omaha. The .main roada are usu
ally kept in fair condition, but those on
eighty and forty lines srs not. It injures
th sale of a tract of land when It 1 found
to front on a public thoroughfare that is
only a channel for water gullies and a long-
drawn out weed patch, ehowlng neither-
evidence of car or travel."

This. In my Judgment, will continue' until
the market will not only be prompt, but
prices will advance and the real estate
man, Instead of having to look up his cus
tomers; will be looked up by his custom
ers." i
N. P. Dodge. Jr., says: "Real estate buy
ers the. past two years have been composed
of borne buyers and bargain hunters. The"
bargain In amall properties have been
pretty well bought up and aome of the beat
Inreatment now offered are in brick stores
and fiata owned by nonresident who ac
quired them by foreclosure of morrgsges.
A rtasonably low price cn aome of ihere
properties Is out of ths reach of local In
vestors and the only way for men to take
advantage of the present low prices la to
form a pool. Each member should con
tribute an equal amount, say S9 or 15(0.
Thla one could buy a' 5.000 property or
make a sufficient payment on a (10,009 or
$15,000 property. The remaining payments
conld bo made out of the property or by
annual assessment until the building I
paid for. I believe I can find four or five
fl0.9t or $15.00 brick stere buildings and
flats that would pay t to 10 par cent annu
ally to the owner and the building are
close enough to the center of the city to
Increase In value each year. I would be
willing to be one of a pool to buy sevsral
buildings I know of that are offered now
for half their cost."
A. p. Tukry at Son report the sale of sis
