in Chambers Journal to the circumstance that
by photography it has hitherto been found I'M
possible to give colors their true shade value.
What is meant by this is that yellow to the
eye is a brilliant light tint. but in photograph
it is reproduced almost black; red, instead OF
giving the idea of fire and light. comes out
black, and blue photographs perfectly white;
such changes, Of course, playing sad havoc with
compilations and contrast of color generally.
According to a recent French process, how
ever, the trouble or drawback In question can
be obviated. the plan consisting simply in the
addition to the usual ingredients Of the sensi-
tive Photographic surface of one per cent. OF
losine. A modification of the crystoteum
process is now being introduced. The photo
graph. printed in the usual manner on paper,
is first of all immersed in a mixture of naph-
tina, paraffne, mastic drops, ether and vinegar;
that body colors in oil, if laid broadly on their
places on the back Of the picture, show through
with good effect.

Flowing by steam or Electricity.

Flowing bv Steam or Electricity.
Steam plows have been in use for
several years in England, Egypt and some
parts Of the United States. Heretofore
the only steam pIOw that has given salts
faction is one arranged to be drawn by
an engine stationed at the side of the ield
by means of a wire rope. There are many
objections to this plan, and hundreds Of
experiments have been made to demon
strate the practicability Of blowing with
traction engines.
Heretofore these experiments have not
produced satisfactory results; but now
the wheat growers of Dakota are begin
ming to use a traction engine pillow that
bids fair to supersede horse power for
turning prairie sod. An engine drawing
gang of eight plows has been intro
duced into the Territory, and its average
work is the breaking of twenty-five acres
per day, turning the sod four inches
thick.
Fuel being scarce and costly in Dakota,
the cost Of breaking the land by steam is
said to be one dollar per acre. OF course
that leaves a good margin of profit for the
owner of the plOw. The cost of breaking
the land by animal power is three dollars
per acre. as it requires four horses or
oxen, one man and boy to operate one
pillow, which will break only little more
than an acre a day.
No steam pillow has yet been constructed,
however, to meet the requirements of
small farmers. There has long been a
! great demand for such a machine. Some
| twenty years ago Horace Greeley dedicat-
ed the book which demonstrated how little
he knew about farming to the man who
should invent a steam pillow. 1t would
appear that its construction would not
be a very difficult matter, but no one has
ever vet claimed the dedication.
The rapid development of the electrical
| science suggests that before many years
| electricity. rather than steam, Will be
| looked to by farmers Tor motive power to
draw their plOws and wagons and prOpel
all their farm machinery. With the stor-
age batteries already invented, and the
utilization of the powered the wind and
water courses in generating electricity,
| it only needs a few steps forward 10 adopt
[ this mysterious force to every purpose
where power is required. Gen. TOOmbs
once remarked that "The niggers and
mules are eating up the country" II
| this is true-and it is to some extent-it
is high time the more progressive people
were devising some plan to yoke the light
ming OF harness some other force In ma
| ture in their places. We might get along
with the negro very well, but the combi-
nation Of the negro and the mule in our
farm ecouomy-Or rather absence Of econ
omy-is a subject for serious cOnsidera-
ton as to its bearing on the future Of the
country.

In the vast amount of matter that is
being sent from Chicago there isn't any
thing that indicates who the nominees
will be. It is safe TO assume that the
leaders are as much in the dark as those
who do the Dragging, betting and buster
ing. Attention is directed almost
wholly to Blaine and Arthur. 1t
seems to be admitted that the
strength Of these two candidates
for the nomination must be tested before
much notice is taken Of other candidates.
If one Of them manages on the first, or
even second ballot, to get the required
majority, that will, Of course, end the mat
ter. There are few, however, who believe
that either of them can increase hls
strength unless the winning figures are
almost touched on the first ballot, ana no
legitimate calculations yet made she"
that either Of them has within 20 CT lOO
votes OF the required number.
If neither is nominated before the third
or fourth ballot, it is probably safe to as
sumo that neither will be. Their sup
| porters will drop away from them I'M
less an attempt Is made to initiate the
]
ton Of 1880. In some quarters the state
ment has appeared that Arthur's sup
porters would 90 to Blaine. A few of
them NAV. 1t is certain that
Blaine is great fayOrite with
some of the Southern delegates who
Will abandon Arthur as soon as
his prospects begin to look unpromising.
The National Committee is certainly
against Blaine. Its decision by good
sized majority to place the Malone Viz
| ginia delegation on the polls indicates this.
/ The Malone delegates can be depended
/ on to support Arthur, and if he IS aban-
/ dOned they may 90 to Sherman. The
/ DezendOrf delegates were counted for
Blaine. The convention, however,
may not confirm the action OF
| the committee. If there is
fight made in the convention over the
Virginia case some idea Of Blaine's
strength may be obtained before the bal
lOting begins. 1t is remarkable how little
is being said about the second place on
the ticket. There doesn't appear to be
any candidates for Vice President. 1t IS
a very desirable place, however, and the
nominee for it ought to rank with the nom-
inee for the first place. In the
last forty-three years four Vice-Presidents
have become Presidents, and in that
time they have administered the govern
/ ment about fourteen years.
The scheming and wire-pulling will be-
gin in earnest to-day. The delegates
have about all arrived, and there will be
little rest for them in the windy city until
the nominations are made.
