The latest invention in photograph,
's II that will delight the heart of the
amateur picture.taker. 1t is known
among photographers Ms the "gelatine
film" aud is made exactly like the com
mon dry plate, except that the gelstine,
instead of being put on a glass back, is
made into a long sheet Just the width of
the desired plate. By its use a contiuu-
Gus picture, OF a landscape, for instance,
can be made, which will cover half or q
third of the whole of the horizon. The
sheet is wound on a standard and placed
IN the camera, the first impression is
taken, that part of the sheet is wound
on another standard and by the same
movemnt a fresh part is unwound, the
direction of the camera Is adjusted to
lake in the next portion Of the lands
cape, the process being repeated as
many times as desired. An attachment
ia the Gamers regulates the winding
and ~unwinding process. The impress
sionized sheet can be kept undeveloped,
of course. an indefinite length o. time.
When the pictures are printed the I'M
prcssions are separated by a mere white
line-else the lines of joining would be
blurred and indistinct-but in mounting
these can be trimmed away aud the
sections htted together. To the anna
teur, 10 whose heart landscape pbotog-
raphy rs especially dear, this c%ontriv.
ance will be a source Of great delight.
Scientific and exploring expeditions will
also find 1T of much benefit, as it will
lessen the amount of paraphernslia to
be carried. Although it has not yet
been put on the market, some trial pic
lures taken on the gelatine film have
been shown. They possess several good
points above the common method.
They are unusually clear in general eff
feet and perfect in outline, while in
landscape pictures the sky line OF tall
objects is defined much more clearly
than by the common method.

GRAHAM BREAD.-Excellent Dread,
that can be started after breakfast and
baked before dinner, is made Of one
pint and a half of sour milk, two scant
teaspoonfuls OF soda dissolved n a little
hot water, half a cupful of New Orleans
molasses, a teaspoonful of salt, and as
much sifted Graham -four as can be
stirred in with a spoon. Grease a large
bread tin very evenly, as the molasses
in the bread renders it liable to stick,
put into the oven and bake for two
hours. Have the oven hot when the
bread is put in, and toward the last half
OF the last hour let it cool gradually.
Or this bread may be steamed for one
hour and three quarters, and be dried
off in the oven twenty minutes. When
it is taken from the oven wrap a towel
around the loaf. the tin and all, and in
ten minutes remove from the tin, and
keep the loaf wrapped in the cloth I'M
til it is sent TO the table.

Novel Adyertisin scheme.

1t has remained for Woolrich & Co, OF
Palmer, Mass, manufacturers of Ridges
Food, to get up the latest and most striking
advertising scheme, which they have Just
put on the road. 1t is in the shape of a
Royal Salvo sociable Tricycle., on which V.
H. Woolrich and W. ii. Higgins are to
take an extended trip westward. Attached
to the machine is a wicker luggage carrier
for their personal effects and a quantity OF
advertising material, which they will have
skipped to them at different points along
the road. Alarge umbrella has also been
rugged TO protect them from the sun on ex-
ira hot days. The riders have black Jersey
quits, and black helmets with Ridges
Food Co" in gilt letters On the front. The
larger towns only will be visited, circulars,
tin spoons, pamphlets, &c, bearing the ad-
yertisement of the company distributed.
This is the first thing of the kind to be put
on the road, and aunot fail to attract at

empty n vessel in that winch contains

stirring it with q stick, then leave it for
a time to settle, and when a deposit is
formed at the bottom pour the LIQUID
gently of into another vessel, leaving
the deposit behind. The liquid part
being now ready, immerse the material
to be rendered waterproof, leaving 1t a
little time to soak; then press 1t with
the hands to get some of the water out,
and hang it on a line to dry. To prove
the efficacy of the recipe, try first on a

Rudolph Kalb, whose theory OF earth
qrakes has for some years been much
discussed in scientific circles, and whose
predictions have frequently been sub
stantiated by events. has just promul-
gated a new theory with reference to

with earthquakes, and he predicts a
very critical state of things shortly,
when, he says, the greatest caution
should be observed in mines. The next
dates when he anticipates danger are

We often see children with red eruptions

often sores on the head. These things in

of pure blood by which to build up strong
and healthy bodies. If DIR. Pierce's Sol

is purged of lis bad elements, and the
