OLD-TIME GUM SHOES.

Philadelphia Record: India rubber
Bhocs woro first manufactured In Rox
bury, Mass., In" 1833, and verily thoy
wcro "fearfully and wonderfully
mado." They really boro no rcsom
bianco whatovor to a shoo. Thoy had
tho appcaranco of having been run In
to molds or blown, tho same as glass
bottles aro mado. Thoy wore mado nf
puro rubbor gum. No attempt was
mado to Imitate tho shape of the shoe
or foot thoy were Intondcd to cover.
In shopo thoy wcro hollow tubes, taper
Ins toward tho too. At tho placo whoro
tho oponlng to pull them over tho shoe
should bo was on Irregular hole, with
out shapo, Just as they camo from tho
mold. Tho holo was enlarged with
a pair of shears to fit tho Instep, or
cut high or low to suit tho tasto or
caprlco of tho customer. Tho work
was dono by tho salesman after tho
buyer had selected, according to bis
requirements, heavy or light, thick or
thin. Men's slzos wero very heavy.tho
coles bolng frequently from ono-fourth
to a halt Inch In thickness. They wcro
tied In pairs and stuffed with straw or
hay to keep them In shape for ship
mont. A lady's foot, Incased In this
huge, Ill-shaped mass of India rubber
gum, weighing at lenst a pound, pre
sented a clumsy appcaranco, Indeed,
particularly when comrarod with tho
light and truly artistic appcaranco of
tho present styles. Tho first attempt
nt making overshoes of India rubbor
did not provo a success, a large amount
of capital being sunk In tho experi
ment, ns well as all tho unsold stock.
They answered tho purposo In cold
weather, but would not stand tho heat,
melting Into a disgusting mass. Ex
periments to remedy this difficulty re
sulted In reaching tho opposlto ex
treme, tho cold weather freezing thorn
bo hard as to mako thorn brittle, so
thoy could not bo drawn over tho shoo
until they wcro thoroughly warmed,
nnd this obstaclo to success was not
not overcomo until Charles Qoodycar
discovered tho process of vulcanizing
rubber, which has rendered his name
Immortal. Rapidly following this ora
of tmprpvements.tho India rubbor shoo
began to assume beauty of proportion
and practical utility. Tho shoes woro
lasted, and the merchant throw asldo
his shears Ono particularly popular
stylo that nnd. a great run tor a couple
of years woVtrlmmeqwlth fUr nround
tho tops and camo We)l up on tho an
kles. Dickons has Immortalized this
partlcular'atylo by placing them on the
fect.orUyi pretty AmIwUo, that Mr.
WlnUlo mot arid foil InTo'vtf with while
visiting with Mr,. P(lckwlth at Old War
dlo's. All rubber shoes wqro mado
from tho solid gt'm at that time, and
wo are safo In saying that a slnglo pair
would outwolgh six pairs of those now
in tho market. Besides being heavy
and ugly, they wcro often painful from
being so tightly stretched ovor the feet.
They mado tho wearer loqk club-footed,
and any attempt at embellishment
was a falluro and made thorn appear
clumsier still, put this condition of
things was not to last. In 1844, Good
year pofected his vulcanizing process,
nnd his method of spreading tho pure
gum, upon clastic textile fabrics, and
tho manufacture of rubber shoes has
elnco Improved from year to yoar, un
til they havo become a thing of beauty.

PHOTOQRAPHYIN THE DARK.
llrllUh HclontUt Dltcornr tho Ileaaou
for Cortnln Curious KffrcU.
Wo have beforo referred to tho ex
traordinary photographic results ob
tained by Dr. Russell by tho action of
vnrloua substances on tho dry-plato In
tho dark, Bays tho Loudon Chronicle.
Dr. Russell found that many, though
not nil, of tho metals and bodies of
vegotablo origin aro capablo of pro
ducing a latent plcturo on tho photo
grnphlc plato, which can bo rendorod
vlBlblo In precisely tho onmo way as
tho ordinary Imago produced by light.
Tho action of thCho(bodleB Is In gen
eral much Blower than that of light,
but under fnvornhlo conditions may
bo produced In two or thrco seconds,
Tho most nctlvo metal has been found
to bo magnesium, but zinc Is not much
Inferior, and for practical purposes It
Is tho most convenient metal to ex
periment with. In it ordlnnry dull
stalo It In entirely without tho power
of acting upon n photographic plato,
but when scratched or scraped tho
bright motal Is very nctlvo, nnd pic
tures of Bitch n plato with all tho
BcratchcH on It can readily bo produced.
Tho tlmo required to produco theso
zinc pictures vnrles very much with
tho temperature. At ordinary tem
peratures an exposure of about two
days Is requisite, but If tho temporaturo
bo raised to about 55 degrees ccntl
grndo an exposure of half or three
quartern of an hour Is sufficient. Con
tnct between the zinc nnd photographic
pinto is not necessary, ns tho action
rendlly takes placo nt npprcclablo dis
tances, although tho tlmo required is
longer nnd tho Imago not bo Bharp.
Among tho orgnnlc aubstanccs which
net on tho photographic plato tho chlof
nro those belonging to tho terpeno
group. Copal varnish containing tur
pentine hns been found to bo very
actlvo, and all tho essentlnl oils, such
ns oil of lemons or peppormlnt, nro also
nctlvo, their activity being traced to
tho Bmnll amount of turpeno thoy con
tain. It Is Interesting to noto thnt tho
action Is capablo of passing through
certain media for Instance, through n
thin Bhcot of gelatin, albumen, collo-
uioii or guua percna. Tlio Ilrst ex
planation which was given of theso
phenomena wns that tho action was
probably due to vapor given off by tho
bodies themselves, but Dr. Russell, In
vlow of Inter experiments, rejects this
vlow. Ho believes thnt tho action on
the photographic plato Is duo to tho
formation of a well-known chemical
compound viz., hydrogen poroxldc,
which, undergoing decomposition, acts
upon tho plate, and Is tho lmmedlato
causo of tho picture caused. This ex
planation Is found to fit in with all tho
observed facts, nnd explains why only
sorno of tho metals aro active, as It Is
theso metals which glvo rlso In tho
prcsenco of molsturo to tho formation
of traces of tho peroxide. The torpencs
also aro well known to favor tho for
mation of this body. Direct proof, Is
however, easy, as hydrogen peroxide,
even In a Very dlluto condition, Is ex
tremely active. Ono part of tho per
oxide, diluted with 1,000.000 parts of
water, Is capable of giving a picture.

call upon him, Mr. Barker when he
visited Paris, called at tho resldonco
of Lafayotto to find that ho was not

request, nlmost Insistence of Mndamo
Lafayette, ho remained ns a guest
ovor night, and upon tho return of tho
pcnoral in tho morning ho remained
for dinner tho next day. Moreover,
during tho remainder of hla stay of
sovoral months In France, ho attend
ed, by Invitation, two soirees at tho
Lafayotto homo.
Upon ono occasion, In 1832, whon

with his habits of energy and prompt

THE DOORBELL.
It Tells What Slanner of Man You Aro
by Your Ulnar.
Doorbells aro pretty fair Indicators
of character. Probably you havo not
been conscious of It, but every tlmo you
pull a doorbell you register what man
ner of man you arc. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from tho
color of your eyes to your tasto In
flowers, but to thoso who know tho
signs tho doorbell Is as good as a
tltlo pago . Any ono who has had
occasion to answer bell pulls knows
how much difference thcro Is In
them. Ono person's method varies
llttlo from tlmo to time, though tho
dlffcrcnco between that method and
somebody's el?e, whllo slight will bo
Bufllclently well-marked. It Is seldom
that two rings nro exactly alike. Tho
housewife recognizes each, tho Im
patient man, who pulls the bell twlco
In quick succession and docs not wat
long beforo trying It again; the ono of
whoso ring Is slower and more sub
stantial; tho hesitating woman, who
draws tho knob out In a succession of
nervous Jerks; tho seedy Individual
with matched to'Bell, who stretches tho
wife carefully to Its full length and
then allows It to relax with a faint,
apologetic tlnklo, and tho Jolly friend,
who knows he Is welcome, and there
fore grasps tho knob with a hearty
swing that la fairly eloquent with good
nnturo, and sots tho boll to shaking Its
sides with such peals of echoing
laughter that It positively cannot stop
nt onco, but subsides gradually, with a
merry, irresponsible little titter. A
doorbell has as many voices ns visitors.

From tho tlmo of tho first venture his

His associations with foreign au

Ho wns n leading spirit In tho direc

Horse for tho EnclUli Army.
Tho purchase of a largo number of
horses in tho United States for tho use
of the English army In south Africa Is
mado necessary by the fact that oven
with the claborato horso registration
system In forco In Great Britain It Is
Impossible to secure all the animals
needed for lmmedlato service at homo.
In tlmo of penco tho military estab
lishment of Englnnd requires for its
uso n total of 13,599 horses. In tlmo
of war this total jumps at onco to 28,
749. Horso buyers for tho army are
now nt work, not only In this country
but also In Canada, In Australia, and
In Austria. Under tho preBont arrange

suitable are registered and a prlco set
upon them. Their owners agree to
hold them always ready at tho call
of the government and recelvo In re
turn an annual subsidy of $2.50 a

week to tell queer stories nlong tho
lino suggested by Its name, nnd every
thing but tho strict truth Is barred.
"I've got two stories, much alike, to
tell. "There's nothing dramatic or sen

As I entered my offlco thoro wns a

I went to my prlvato offlco. 'How aro

over the oddity of tho situation, ex

and even showed him tho other letter
of Introduction. But tho man did not
believe me. Ho evidently thought I
was n liar, and left without putting his
case In my hands. A fow minutes
later in camo the first Mr. Dodge, and
wo had a good laugh over It. Tho other
coincidence was this: I got letters
from two friends ono west of Chicago
