PHOTOGRAPHY IN COLORS.
Dr. Sella Vacs Three Screeaa, bat Oaf
Om Plate
The Selle process is not quite un
known to the English public Its dis
covery took placo nearly six years ago
in Berlin. The results were exhibited
at a soiree of the Royal society some
two years ago, and since then the doe
tor has been engaged In perfecting it,
says the London Mail. "Within the
last few years," said Maj.-Gen. Bar
well, "I was able to Induce Dr. Selle
to visit England, and in a small studio
in Dover street to demonstrate the
enormous improvements he has made.
He remained here for about a month,
having, in fact, only just returned to
Germany. His results were so satis
factory (although carried out by Dr.
Selle In avery amateurish way with
out any assistance) that I went to Ber
lin, and there saw the photographs
taken in London' reproduced by Mr.
Frischc at the rate of one per minute,
or, say, 500 a day. The process has
therefore distinct commercial value, as
Herr Frlsche, the well-known litho
grapher and art publisher in Berlin,
h3 admitted."
The process, as explained to our rep
rcentative by the general, is a very
simple one. The photograph is taken
with an ordinary camera upon one
plate, first through a yellow, then
through a red, and, lastly, through a
blue glare, these being, of course, the
three primary colors. The photograph
is then upon the plate in its natural
colors. In developing the negative use
is made in the same sequence of three
-baths containing solutions of these
three colors which help to bring out
the' colors already obtained by the me
dium of lig'bL For purposes of repro
duction each color may be printed off
separately, and one printed over tho
other a process which lays Itself open
to the charge of imitating the collotype
method.
Artificial India Bobber.
Some recent attempts in France and
Germany to prepare artificial india
lubber have met with partial success.
"While the French product is remark
able for its complex composition, the
German preparation consists main
ly cf oxidized linseed oil and jute
refuse. The first of these two artificial
rubbers has for Its foundation a sub
stance called "reslnollne," which itself
is made up of oil treated with three or
four times it3 bulk cf metallic car
bonates, and then with nitric acid.
After undergoing numerous chemical
processes, this compound is mixed with
oxide of manganese, zinc and methy
lated spirit, the whole mass when
i kneaded and compressed being found
to possess some of the properties of
'pure India-rubber. The inventor is
pleased to call thl3 production "Tex
tllold;" if tho "Flamp" had been a
great purveyor of rubber, he would
have probably called it "smush."
A Magnetic Plant.
There has been discovered in India a
strange plant which possesses aston
ishing magnetic power. The hand
touching it Immediately receives a
strong magnetic shock, while at a dis
tance of twenty feet a magnetic needle
is affected by it.

"Big Kelly's" Jaws shut firm and tleht.
His steely eyes shot sparks of lire.
As 'mid Manila's bloody fight
He snarls to string a mile of wire.
He holds within his good right hand
Which well Is known to be a whopper
Among the biggest In the land
A coll of wire made of copper.
The fight is on and Spanish guns
With spiteful sound and sharply pop
ping. And. as "Big Kelly" swiftly runs.
On every side the men are dropping.
But Kelly's heart Is big and stout,
And filled with patrotlc fire;
If life Is spared beyond a doubt
He'll get there with that coll of wire.
Dame Nature, when his legs were made,
Of first-class matter was not sparing!
Nor, as was proved, was she afraid
To fill his honest soul with daring.
His stalwart form gets o'er the ground
With speed that simply is amazing.
Though shells are bursting all around
And Mauser balls his person grazing.
The distant goal is reached at last;
He skillfully completes the circuit,
Br making the connections fast.
Then calmly sits be down to work it
All honor to the Irish boy.
We're all rejoicing at the story
Of how a youth from Illinois
Thus richly won undying glory.
A hero of the truest kind
With modesty to match his darins.
His grateful country he will find
Of her reward will not be sparing.
J. F. Stephens.
Boagh Blders aa Bustlers.
When I joined the Rough Riders in
the field I had nothing but my oldest
suit of clothes and a good six-shooter.
"Haven't you anything of your
own?" asked Col. Roosevelt, after a
pitying glance at my bicycle slippers
and straw hat.
"I have some extra eyeglasses, sir,"
I said.
"Well, you'll have to rustle for a
uniform and equipments," remarked
the colonel, "but you'd better be care
ful how you do it."
At the next inspection I was arrayed
in a First Regular Cavalry hat, a shirt
from the New York Seventy-flrst,Span-ish
trousers, a navy revolver, In a Ger
man cavalry holster from the Prussian
military attache, a Cuban machete, a
Red Cross blanket, and a mule-driver's
poncho.
"Where did you get the clothes?"
asked Col. Roosevelt, adding quickly,
"I won't ask. As long as you have a
uniform you'll do."
With this encouragement from a
high quarter I was duly started on my
military career, and it was not my
fault if I lacked for aught hencefor
ward. Yet I learned that the thing
could be overdone. That same night
there was a terrible row because some
Napoleonic genius succeeded in filching
the only package of sugar in the out
fit. Just after the captain's orderly
had formally donated it to the troops.
Every man's hand was lifted against
the other, and the quarrels and recrim
inations became so fierce that several
of the former cattlemen fondled
their six-shooters dangling at their
hips.
Next day I was ordered to report at
division headquarters, across the hill.
While I was standing at atention 1
heard the following dialogue between
Gen. Wheeler and his adjutant:
"I have found your saddle horse,
sir."
"Where was It?"
"In the Rough Riders' camp."
"Well, I'll be d d! How did it get
there?"
"They stole It, sir."
"Where is it now?"
"It is still over there. They claim
it is their own and refuse to give it
up. They, say they found it grazing
in their trenches four days ago."
The old general arose in his wrath,
exclaiming: "Is there anything those
devils won't steal? Report the facts
to Col. Roosevelt with my compliments
and tell him that I must insist on hav
ing my horse returned to me."
The adjutant departed, and Gen.
Wheeler turned to me. As he recog
nized the cross sabers and number on
my army hat his face clouded and he
said:
"So you are one of the Rough Rid
ers. Well, you may be good fighters
in fact, you have shown yourselves
to be good fighters but for downright
thievery you are the worst I have ever
known. Why, your camp is known
all over the army as the den of thieves.
It is a wonder to me how some of
von managed to get out here unhang
ed."
"We have the sheriff of Cripple
Creek to keep us straight, sir," said 1,
saluting, and was promptly seat away
on detail.
When I got hack to our camp 1
found the general's horse still grazing
at Its place, while the general's adju
tant was making excited expostula
tions in front of Roosevelt's tent.
Edward Emerson In Collier's Weekly.
Indians Are Growing Good.
It is rumored in department head
quarters that there will be a rattling
cf dry bones at some of the older
western posts in the npar future. As
a result of the shake-up, predictions
are that a number of them will be
stricken from the list of necessary sta
tions, and cither sold at auction or
turned over to the Indian service for
agencies. Whipple Barracks, Ariz.,
was abandoned some time ago, and but
a small handful of men arc kept there
under Lieut Tupes. As negotiations
for the sale cf this post are about com
pleted, the detachment will probably
he withdrawn in a short time, after
which it will be turned over to a cus
todian, who will look after Uncle Sam's
interests until the sale is consummat
ed. It may be used as a training
ground for several Arizona troops
which are being fitted for service at
the front, but nothing definite on this
score is yet known. Five years ago
it was thought the height of folly
to think of abandoning any of the
Arizona military posts, which are in
the region infested with Apaches, but
today it seems to be the settled
policy of the government to make
these men self-supporting, and there
fore safe citizens. As rapidly as the
Dawes bill requirements are complied
with the Indians are admitted to the
rights of suffrage. These requirements
are "the severance of all tribal rela
tionships and the adoption of the
modes and habits of civilization." This
will soon coyer the whole Apache tribe,
once so bloodthirsty, and" it is not
improbable that the next five months
will see the abandonment cf Forts
Apache, Grant and Huachuca in Arl
rona, and Wingate and Union, in New
Mexico. The only reason why the
government keeps troops in those
godforsaken regions now is because
of faneied fear of the Indians.
It is also the policy of the govern
ment to turn over all abandoned mili
tary posts in the Indian country to
the red men, to be used as agencies;
thus in Utah, can be seen the Ouray
agency, once the site of old Fort Rou
bldouz; in Montana can be seen the
Fort Peck agency, once the -site of a
military cantonment of that name, and
in Arizona the Fort Deflance agency
flourishes where occe stood that sen
tinel of the advance of civilzation west
ward, Fort Defiance.
In speaking of the Apaches recently,
Gen. Sumner said: "It is generally
misunderstood, this question of the
Apache Indians. They are generally
looked upon as bloodthirsty, fierce
warriors. On the contrary, I never
dealt with easier Indians to handle.
They are making as rapid strides to
ward civilization as any band in the
United States, and no more need
watching than any other of the tribes
of the Indian Territory. The Utes are
vastly more turbulent and trouble
some."
Hit riacxlne; Energy.
There was a fiag on a staff that pro
jected from an upper window. There
were smaller flags on a pleasant porch.
In the roomy parlor were portraits of
McKinley, Bewey, Sampson and Schley.
In the living rccra were pictures of
bombardments and warships, with a
plentiful supply cf black aud white
maps, all cut from the great dailies and
pinned along the wall.
The old man 6n the porch looked at
the boy before him and his face blazed
with anger.
"That's jest enough o that!" ho
said. "When a son o' mine gives me
tho He on the Sampson an' Schley
squabble it's time th protycole was
ended. You git ycur hat an' marcn
straight out to th' barn with me."
A little later the air was brutally
contused by a scries of concussing
whack3, each of them being followed"
by a piercing yell.
Presently the voice of the old man
arose abovo tho echoing din.
"How may stripes was that?" he ask
ed. "Th-thirteen." echoed the boy.
"Yep. An how many stars did ye
sec?"
"For-forty-five," sobbed tho boy.
"Correct," said the patriotic parent,
as he hung up the leather trace. "Put
on yer jacket the flag raisin's over."
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Gen. Wlieclet's Slip.
A correspondent of the New York
Press, in writing of the battle berore
Santiago, says:
"During all the terrible firing of shot
and shell which lasted until, darkness
set in, Gen. Wheeler was the only man
I saw who did not dodge or duck. He
sat astride his horse coolly giving or
ders, chatting with his aides and "tak
ing things as they come," as an officer
who was lying on the ground remark
ed. Gen. Wheeler provoked one good
laugh, which went all along the line.
Through his glass he saw the enemy
retreating, and he turned to a group
of friends and said gleefully: "It's all
right, boys; the Yankees are yielding."
The little general corrected himself
when he saw the smile that came, and
said: "I mean the Spaniards, of course,
gentlemen."
Tho Boston's Escape.
"The Boston did not escape unscath
ed," says the gunner of the Eoston,Joel
Evans, in the Century's account of the
Manila sea light. "The shot that had
disturbed us below nearly ended Capt.
Wilde's life. He was on the bridge
with sun-helmet, paim-Ieaf fan an-1
cigar when the shot hit the foremast
three feet over his head, passed from
starboard to port, cutting a shroud on
tho. fore-rigging and burst ten feet
from the side, the recoil sending the
base-plug back on deck. Tho captain
watched the shell's progress intently,
then resumed his smoking. Of all the
officers on the bridge lie was the only
one who did not dodge. He simply
said: 'We were lucky, gentlemen.' "
Bill Itc-trin;.
The use of ball bearings has caused
to much less friction In vehicles of
various kinds that new devices with
thi3 same object in view are looked up
on with great interest. A manufactur
er cf the round bearings, with which
cyclers and others are so familiar, has
recently been experimenting along an
other line. The new device consists of
small steel rollers instead of ball3.
These are held in bronze cages. The
idea has been tried on the wheels of
heavy vehicles, notably omnibuses in
England. It is reported that with these
roller bearings one man may start an
omnibus with very little effort. There
is no reason why roller bearings prop
erly caged and adjusted should not
have quite as little friction as the
round balls. There are many bits of
mechanism where the slender steel rol
ler would, according to all practical
ideas, be even more effective than the
balls. The wheels of heavy trucks are
to come in for the next series of ex
periments, and if successful there is
talk of trying them on the wheels of
locomotives and other rolling stock
where weight and pressure are tre
mendous. It is believed that the use
of these roller bearings on locomotives
alono would save a large proportion of
the wear and tear to which these pon
derous machines are subjected. If
the theory of the roller bearing Is a
gcod one, ball bearings have had their
cay. They may be retained for light
vehicles, but for heavy ones the new
plan offers decided advantages.
Cheap Electric Ught.
It has been remarked as showing
what a powerful element of health the
electric light is, that the general health
of those who U3e it improves their ap
petite and their ability to sleep in
creases and the visits of the doctor be
come less frequent. This is especially
apparent in the statistics of the at
tendance of working people in fac
tories and other places. In a London
bank, where 1,200 persons are em
ployed, the absences from illness have
been so far reduced that the extra
labor gained is said to have paid for
the electric light.
The influence of artificial light on
the eyes has also a very Important
sanitary bearing.
It has been asserted that the injury
to the eyes, of which the growing
short-sightedness of the day is but
one result, is due to the heat rays and
not to the light rays.
If that be so, the electric light is
less injurious than any other.
If the eyes are exposed to
the I
strong light cf the arc lamp, its ultra- !
violet rays have a painful effect, bat
no one has ever complained of the in-
fluence of a steady glow lamp upon the I
sight, and it is possible to read and '
write for many hours by such a light
I without experiencing the least fatigue.
Eggs la Coli Storaga.
An inventory of the cold storage
houses of this city shows that their
stock of eggs at the present time is
425,000 cases, which will probably be
increased to 450,000 cases before the
houses close, about October 15th. As
each case holds 30 dozen eggs, these
425,000 cases represent the enormous
aggregate of 153,000,000 eggs. No eggs
except those which are absolutely
fresh and perfect are accepted by the
storage companies. Those which are
bought from firms who are known to
employ expert egg testers, are taken
without inspection, but in all other
cases every egg is "candled," that Is,
held before a light strong enough to
reveal any taint or imperfection. An
expert can examine in this way twenty-five
to thirty cases of eggs a day.
The cold storage companies do a heavy
jobbing business in eggs, and book
their orders months ahead for delivery
at a certain time. The business is so
well organized that there are no waste
products. Eggs which are not suffi
ciently fresh to pass muster by the ex
perts are sold to the bakers in tene
ment districts, and even when they are
absolutely spoiled there is still a mar
ket for them. Parts of these spoiled
eggs are employed in the manufacture
cf photographic supplies and in the
preparation of a kind of shoe polish.
A disinfectant is also made from them.
They are used in a process of tanning
leather, and the shells have some val
ue as a fertilizer. Tho states which
rank highest as egg producers are:
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and In-
diana. Among these Iowa takes the'
lead on account of the high quality
of the poultry raised there. Tho cold
storage houses will begin to dispose
of their accumulated product about the
first of January. They will then go out
by the car load to all parts of the coun
try, returning perhaps to the very lo
calities in which they were purchased,
and by the first of March not a case
may remain.
A Foand of Fork,
1. It requires 13.80 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork
when fed with cornmeal, ration 1:14.7
to fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be economic
ally fed to fattenings hogs unless it
was a product which could not be oth
erwise utilized.
3. It required on an average 4 14
pounds of shelled corn to produce one
pound of pork during an average pe
riod of four weeks, or one bushel pro
duced 134 pounds.
4. It required Hi pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound of pork, or
one bushel of cornmeal made into meal
and fed will produce 12 pounds of
pork.
5. When dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed fat
tening hogs.
6. It required 7 pounds or one
bushel of ground cats to produce one
pound of pork when fed with equal
parts by weight of cornmeal.
7. Ono bushel of cornmeal is worth
nearly three bushels of oats as food
for fattening hogs.
8. Corn fed pigs gained 4 pound3
per week and ate about 21 pounds of
corn per 100 pounds of live weight.
9. Pork was produced during the
cold weather, with corn at 28 cents per
bushel, for less than 3 cents per pound.
10. Indian corn is the most economi
cal pork producing material during the
winter months in regions where ex
tensively grown. B. L. Myers, in Mar

Some Dairy Hints.
The New England Farmer quotes the
following as some of the main facts
which are taught the pupils in the
Dairy School of Oneida, N..Y.:
Why should the udder, etc., of the
cow and the hands of the milker be
made as clean a3 possible before milk
ing? To keep bacteria from getting into
the milk.
Why should milk be removed from
stables as soon as possible after milk
ing? To prevent absorption of any odors
of the stables.
Why should milk not be put at once
after milking into closely covered cans?
Because, by so doing, odors are re
tained in the milk.
Why should milk be set as soon as
possible after milking?
To stop the action of bacteria.
Conditions Affect Litters. Breeders
of swine desire to obtain the most
prolific animals, but. not all breeders
have studied their business with sufil
cient closeness and accuracy to know
that, while some strains are more
fecund than others, all strains depend
quite largely, in the matter of fecund
ity, upon the feed supplied to them
and upon the general conditions in
which they are kept. The sow that
will drcp a certain number of pigs, un
der certain conditions, can not be de
pended upon to maintain her average
if the condition of her existence is
changed for the worse. A sow that
drops a small litter, when her sur
roundings are all bad, will often in
creases the size of her litters when her
surroundings are Improved. Ex.

statistics of the retail milk business
of New York, as given in the Milk Re

Keep a Flock of Sheep. Sheep are
especially adapted to a run-down' farm
and a run-down farmer. They require
less capital than any other stock, and
for the purpose stock is absolutely in
dispensable. A farmer who can't buy
sheep can't buy any live stock at
all. A small flock well cared for will
run the farm up, eat up the weeds that
disfigure it, and reimburse it for the
fertility removed in the process of
running it down, and if that don't put
new lifo in the run-down farmer by
putting money in his pocket, he is be
yond the hope of recovery. Ex.
Market for Olives. The extent of
the American1 market open to the Cali

from the fact that 850,000 gallons of
olive oil are annually imported into
the United States from Italy, Spain,
and France, and tens of thousands of
galicns of olive oil adulterated with
peanut, cottonseed, and poppy oil arr

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of painful menstrua
tion and backache. The pain in my back was dreadful, and the agony I suf
fered during menstruation nearly drove me wild.
Now this is all over, thanks to Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and advice. Mrs.
Cabbie V. Williams. South Mills, N. C.
The great volume of testimony proves conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is a safe, sure and almost infallible remedy in cases of
irregularity, suppressed, excessive or painful monthly periods.
" The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparal
leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinklmm, and for
sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her
great business, treating by letter aa many as a hundred thousand ailiug women
during a single year."
