SELF-COLORED PHOTOGRAPHS.-N
a few attempts to fix the native hues of
objects by photography have been made
but all have failed. 1t is an
etching of ligl,t and shade, rather than
a painting, which the sun gives. Nev-
ertheless, the climax to which all pOto-
gTapheTs are working is a means of pro-
ducing sun. pictures which shall faith
fully represent nature i'm all her varied
livery of color. Toward this goal an
important step has recently been made
by NJ CrOS, who, by combining three Sc
parate negatives of the same object, TAX
en- with different components of the SOL
ar light, has managed to produce a re-
sultant portrait having all the tints of
the original. One negative is taken
with the light reflected from the object
deprived of its green rays by being filter
ed through a solution of nitrate of nick
el, the second is taken with the light
deprived of its orange rays by being fill
tered through a mixture of chloride of
cobalt, and the third is taken with the
light deprived of its violet rays by being
filtered through solution of bichromate
potash. The first negative is therefore
not impressed by the green rays coming
from the object, the second is not impress
sed by the orange rays and the third is
unaffected by the violet rays. If, then
each of these negatives be illumined bv
the kind of light which it has been de-
prIved of, the lacking cOlors will be res
tored to each, and the three images SO OBJ
tanned be blended together by means of
total rejecting prisms of glass, a result

PETROLEUM AS A REMEDY FOR Con-
81 JMPTIoN.-The scenes which are dai-
ly witnessed at the oil works at Point
Breeze, to which numbers OF consump-
lives resort ia order to inhale the va
DOrs from the stills and obtain crude
oil for internal application, have their
counterpart over in France. a Gov
ernmeut report. recently published in
the BuUetiRc de 1herdpeUtigte, mar
rates that reliner of petroleum was
prohibited by a prefect from distribu-
ting petroleum i'll medicin ! doses.
Some Of the sufferers appealed and
the Government ordered DIR. Blache,
prominent medical practitioner, to in
stitute an investigation as to the util-
itv of petroleum in affections Of The
chest. Native petroleum from Penn
sylvania and Virginia was experiment
ted with. DR. Blache iu his report
stated that he found that in chronic
bronchitis, with abundant expectOTa-
Jon, it rapidly diminished the amount
of the secretion and the parOxy ysms of
coughing, while in simple bronchitis
Iapid aIDeliOratiOn was obtained. It's
employment in Ththisis was continued
Tor too short a time to warrant any
opinion regarding its efficiency, beyond
that it diminished the expectOratiOn,
which also lost its purulent character
Dr. Blache says that the petroleum
IS popularity taken in doses of a tea
spoonful before each meal, and that
after the first day any nausea which it
excites in most persons disappears.

While the artichoke is generally
valued only for hogs, have found it

Horses relish them. and work horses
will look better and feel better on half
the corn usually fed, if they get plenty
of artichokes. They are fine for sheep
and especially ewes with Young lambs.
And If YOU want gilt-edged butter in
midwinter, feed your Jersey cow on
corn, but plenty of aItichokes, with
good clover and timothy hay, and you
will get the best
I will not undertake to say that ar

THE GLOVES We WEAR.


~ estze-e Ssfaepg the hills and wooded
favines OF Fulton co., n. y, yet deeply
bedded in snow. and extending over a
circuit of twenty miles in the adjacent
counties Hamilton Montgomery and
Saratoga, are mill and manufactures
of the American Kid glove. The streams
are turbid with spent tanning materials
and chemicals from the dye houses, while
broad acres are Tapping with the skins
of af6Tnals gathered from two hemis-
plleres. hung upon lines or wooden
trellis Our correspondent, in riding
through the towns of Gloversville and
Johnstown, and following the sinuous
course of the mill streams where the
unbrageous spruce and matted hem
lock give an Alpine effect to the rugged
landscape, could not fail to observe its
extent, and how, either directly or de-
motely, the prosperity of the glove man
ufacturer is identified with all other in
terestS.
The business startedsffi a peculiar way
about sixty years ago. when 4 backwoods
hunter cut up a few buckskins, after
tanning them in oil. and made a few
gloves which others initiated. This was
the birth of the castor glove trade which
of late has developed into the finest
glove known in the world.
TheSseastor," it should be observed,
is the finished skin, and the world is ra-
ked for Materials The antelope II ,eiy
Mountain deer, sheep from the Cape of
Good Hope and enormous quantities
/ from South America, besides kids found
4 in all parts of Europe-these and many
/ others go to satisfy the universal call
for gloves. Even sspatria llides,'' or
Calcutta cow and the ''Campeachy hog''
are not unknown in the queer assoTt-
ment. Ia the medium goods the skins
called ssfashersl' are mostly imported
from England in pickle, while deerskin,
] blesboek, etc., come in the hair. The
largest establishment has capacity
equal to 100000 skins per annum, and
the number of hands employed is 125.
Castor and kid are the specialities pro-
duced, with '.dogskin'' in due proper
j ton.
The popular belief that degskih gloves
are obtained primarily from the verita-
bic dog is proved to be a fanacy wholly
mythical The dogskin is obtained in
its perfection from the Cape Town
sheep, the animal sporting fatty tail,
reliSlied by epicures The name, in
fact, is trade mark for a special article
in gloves. Another speciality is a fine
glove made from the Arabian kid, more
durable than any kid in Europe, but
which is furnished by the American
manufacturers at a much less price.
The colors are also a specialty-colors
similar to orange, tea and smoke-ofteT
exceeding delicate and, very beautiful
The smoky color, verging on pearl, is
exactly what it purports TO be, the pro
cess having been learned from the In
dians

a SIMEON IN THE DESERT.-A stand
ard authority in speaking of the simeon
says:
"The simeon IS hot, dry wind common
in the-1ot months and about the equinOxeS
in Syria, Arabia. NHbia and India Itcomes
from the deserts, and is characterized by its
excessive heat and suffocating effects
These increase the Ienger it continues. and
il this be more than three days, which, ac-
cording to Volney, is its usual period, they
are very fatal to animal life. During its
prevalence the Inhabitants of towns and
villages shut themselves up in their houses,
and those in the. desert in their tents or in
pits they dig III the earth. The extraorlina-
ry and parchiIig heat, ike thatof an oven, is
derived from the oTeTheated sands, which
are whiried up from the earth by the advanc-
ing wind, and the whole air is filled with a
subtle and penetrating dust When the
wind blows in squalls, death is often very
suddenly produced by actual suffoeatiOn,
and is followed by hemerrihage at the nose
and mouth. Persons exposed to it protect
themselves by stopping their mouth and
nose with handkerchiefS, and the camelS in
stinctiyely bury their noses in the sand -
The SIMEON usually occurs in June and July,
by night as we'll as by day, sometimes pre-
ceded by q cold current of air. Its course is
straight and well defined on 4 narrow path.
It's heat is intense, like the blast of a fur
mace.
eBy breath of the hot simeon, whole
caravans are destroyed ami buried under the
( burning sands. The path to Mecca is strew-
ed with the bones of pilgrims, horses and
cameIs. Skulls lie bleaching on every side
revealed or covered by the shifting wind
whose breatbfs like that of a furnace, some
times killing all it touches. Camels have an
+ intuitive knowledge when a simeon is near
and about to strike a caravan; the brutes
4 that have Travelled hundreds of miles over
/ the burning deserts, bearing their burden
with patience and docility, without water
and without food, with the exception of
4 thistles and prickly pears, manifest uneasi-
ness when simeon is threatened. They
make many attempts to escape it by rapid
! travelling, and failing in that, sink upon
I their knees, utter mournful cries, urge theiT
I owners to remove the heavy loads from their
f! backs, and when this Is done stick theiI
nOstTils deep into the sand and thus await
their deaths, or manage to exist until the
sirocco has passed and all danger is over.
'If the pilgrims escape, they issue from
I their tents or from under the lee of their an
1 imals, where they flee for shelter and pro
| lection, and on bended knees return thanks
to Allah for his protection and kindness il
saving them from a horrible death. 1t is of
ten that the poor deluded followers of the
Prophet escape the perils of the desert by
digging holes in the sand and remaining il
I them until the hot blast is passed
'EBut all the teTrors of the simeon are no
sufficient to deter pilgrims from reachin.
Mecca, for it is supposed that those who sue
! ceed in accomplishing the journey will fine
eternal life in the world to come. -
