Suggestion to Photographers

A radical defect in nearly all
likenesses taken by the new meth
od now in use, arises from the fact
that the sitter being in u novel
situation unconsciously assumes II
constrained and unnatural eXpreI
sion of countcndnce, and having
no means OF correcting this, it is
of course repeated in tie picture.
Hence, so few are entirely satisfied
with their photographs. The i'm
provement we suggest, is designed
to obviate this defect, by attaching
to the camera an ordinary plane
mirror, so adjusted that the sitter,
Instead Of staring into blank space
with feeling of what IL ridiculous
part lie is playing, shall look at his
own reflection in this glass dnring
the entire operation. lie will thus
be enabled at once to assume and
retain his ordinary expression Of
countenance, or take any other
that best pleases himself. The
picture will be an exact reproduc-
tion of the image in the mirror,
and cannot fail of being perfect in
every respect.

POWDER MANUFACToRY.-A pow
der manufactory is to be started in
California by a company which
has just been incorporated with a
capital stock Of 100000. The
war has raised the price of powder
so that it can he proftably made
in California, where there is IL
large and steady demand for it for
blasting purposes. The charcoal
employed is made tpom willow,
which grows on all the valley and
mountain streams there. Sulphur
is very plenty in many parts OF
the State, particularly in San luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara and Los
Angeles counties, where vast beds
of it exist, and it has already found
Its way into market. Saltpeter is

A Considerable Shower.

A correspondent Writing from
San Jose, CAL, says:
About six weeks ago we had IL
slight shower that lasted about
three weeks, when it set into rain
and has kept it up ever since. a
rain gage, carefully kept and reg
istered by DR.. Smell, Of Sonora,
Tuolumne County, shows that
from the 11th day Of November,
1861, to the 18th day Of January,
1862, seventy-two inches Of water
fell at that place. This is sufficient
explanation to all the world of the
cause of our unprecedented deluge.
1t is also asserted by several per
sons on the Klamath ri er that the
water at the mouth of Salmon, on
the Klamath, was forty-two feet
above the wire bridge, and the
wire bridge being ninety feet high,
makes it one hundred and thirty
two feet perpendicular. The river
is narrow at this point, and the
measurement was taken on trees
above the bridge.

Railroads in Ohio

The first railroad chartcr was
passed in 1882, and the second in
1886; but nothing worthy Of note
was done in the way of building
roads until after lS4O--and it was
not until after 194S that the Ohio
river and Lake Erie were connect
ed by rail. Now there are 2,024
miles of road in operation which
cost for roads and equipments.
S153,O00,O0O, THIS ia the work of
twenty years. The progress thas
has been made in this branch Of
improvement is an Indication of
the progress made by the State in
wealth and industry.

TREASURY NoTES.-Some curious
experimental philosopher, it seems,
has taken the trouble to measure
bodily II certain porlion-less than
one-third-of the huge mass of
government credit which our city
banks in the last summer and au-
tumn so loyalty agreed to shoulder.
Twenty-one millions Of the amount
in treasury notes at 7.30 interest,
have just been delivered to the
banks by Mr.. Cisco, the sub-trcas-
urer. They are found to consist
of 1889 separate obligations, in
various denominations, from $50
TO $4,000. By careful measure
ment they are ascertained to form
q column of notes, piled singly,
twenty seven feet high, and more
over make large load for a cart.

Proclaiming the Dissolution Of the
Union

At the late Abolition or Radical
Republican gathering at Cooper
Institute, New York, Carl Schurz,
lately the United States Minister
to Spain, delivered a speech, from
which we make the following ex-
tract: ..
"There were men in the EOrtl.

bellion, as long us it had a chance
of success. But if such an attempt
should succeed, it would lead to Il

than the present conflict. CA voice

become quite transparent, The
cause of this wonderful effect Of
the condition Of the matter is ut
trrly ineXplainable. Philosophers
do not even brOach theories upon
this subject, much less do they
endeavor to explain it. The sub.
stances dissolved in water or burned
in air are not however destroyed
or lost.
BY certain well known means
they can be recovered and again
be made visible; some exactly in
the samc state as they were before
their invistbiIity Others, though
not in the same state, can be shown
in their elementary condition and
thus it can be proved that having
once existed, it never ceases to
exist, although it can change its
condition like the caterpillar,
which becomes n chrysalis, and
then IL gorgeous butterfly. If Il
pait'u Of the solution of silver be
cast into the stream, it is apparent

water; it nevertheless continues to
exist. So when IL bushcI OF char
coal is burned in IL stove it disup

produced being mixed with the
vast atmosphere; but yet the char,
coal is still in the air. On the
brightest and sunniest day, when
every object can be distinctly seeu
above the horizon, hundreds o.
tons Of charcoal, in an invisible
condition, pervade the air. Glas;

transparency of Il compound which
i'll truth, is nothing but II mixture
OF the rust of three metals.
The power OF matter to change
its cOnIi,ion from solid capacity to

Il plant goes on increasing in weight

from its visible to its invisible

matter visible. Thus, the balance
