The Dominant Face Of the "Composite.'
Uncle BINS New York letter.

Uncle Illf Nov York Letter
Speaking Of photography, that scieu-
tiic experiment by r. francis Cation
in composite portraituro has melted a
bevy of fashionable girls to an exploit
in the same direction. Gallon invented
a way to combine the faces of any nun
her OF individuals in one uy means o.
the camera, and the results have ap-
pearcd in the scientific reriodienls
There are six maidons who had been
amused by Lord Garmoyle when thar
ridiculous eXampleof British aristocraey
was here. After the manner of mis-
chievous American Youngsters they had
courted the social attention OF tine fell
low beeau-e7h was titled, and AT the
same tlme had c%oyertly made sport oil
him because he was grotes ne. one
suggested, on reading Of the composite
photograph, that they concentrated their
faces into such a picture and send it 20
harmoyle, with a note of congratulation
oh his elevation to the peerage.
The thing was easily done. But the
resulting portrait was not forwarded.
because it would not haze puzzled Ne
Lud to identify the dominant face. The
system Of making q composite photo
graph is TO pose the individuals, sepa-
rately, in precisely the same attitude be-
fore the camera and then print the pict-
ures from negatives all together. The
process suppresses the beauty of the
subjects and preserves the ugliness.
That is to say, in this instance the girl
with the biggest nose and most agra
waited features dominated TO such an ex-
tent that the portrait was easily recog-
nilable as hor own, for it was only mod
flied by the less pronounced faces. I
would like to name her, for she would
be recalled as a member of a we'll known
family, but 1t wouldn't do after what l

SCIENCE ooMPLeTELY UN0oNE


The Earth Is Fiat-"fire In the PsnciIe
Somewhere"rNewton oyorfhrown
iExchme-i
History repeats itself in the discour
agements which surround n budding
Baltimore genius. The Herald reports
a recent lecture on ''The Earth Not a
ilobe, delivered by Professor Car
penter, in that city, in a manner calcu
lated TO suppress any zeal which the
scientist might possess. II says The
professor illustrated his lecture by
means Of large maps, diagrams aud
charts. Some Of these represented the
heavens, and others were pictures Of
various terrestrial objects. Tho sub
stance of the discourse, which lasted
over an hour and a half, was about rs
follows:
The Lord flung the earth, shaped
like II pancake, out on the sea Of space.
How thick this pancake is ! do not
know, but believe IL is at least so, 900
miles in diameter. There is fire in the
pancake somewhere, and maybe para
disc is around there or t~hereabouts, too.
but ! am not certain about that.
The Bible is right and modern sci
enco Is wrong in this matter. ! depend
for proof Of my assertion that the world
is fiat upon the fact that the surface of
standing water is abso utely level. The
Il r,eyors' charts for o section of
100 miles of the Suez canal make
positively no allowance for the al
legged curves in the earth's surface. The
survey for the first ocean cable from
Ireland to Newfoundland, u distance of
1850 miles, likewise allows not an inch
for curvature in the surface of tho
water. This single fat alone over
throws the entire Aowtonian system.
II don't know how far distant the
sun is, but | Judge about 5000 miles
certainly not much farther. over the
center of the earth is tho north star.
There is no south point, but the south is
this entire circumference. The earth is
fixed, does not rovolye around il. The
seasons result from the varying distance
from us Of the sun in its orbit. When
we think VT arc going around tho earth
as if it were q ball, we arc mistaken; we
are merely travelling around the surface
of the pancake.

A newly married couple were en- route
to Washington by the Baltimore & Ohio.
There are many tunnels on this road this
side of the ohio river. All through
Ohio the face Of the young man wore
occasional looks of pain, despite his
great joy. He seemed to want some
thing. Apparently he yearnsd. Over
in West Virginia the train entered tun-
mel. Upon emerging into the light the
young mans face was seen to wear a
studious expression. lie was thinking.
At first he seemed perplexed, then In
terested, then triumphant. He had
had revelation. Then he smiled, with
a firm, manly, countenance smile, and
his eyes peersd ahead for the first sign
of a yawning cavern In the mountain
side. The bride was happy and demure.
Whish-shsdows--rumbles darkness.
The veil is drawn. 1t is another tunnel.
Light again, and the young man looks
happier chan ever. The brides cheek
disports gentle Slush-s modest, mex
perienced blush, discovered only TO the
Initiated and envious. No perplexity,
no anxiety now. The revelation has
been tested aud found success. There
are many tunnels, but not enough. II
the whole line were \ tunnel the bride
and groom would not care how slow the
train proceeded. The man who has not
lived TO bless the builder of the tunnels
does not know what happiness Is. He
ia but little above the brute, which
never troubles the Creator for passing
over the moon on prayer-meeting night
But our bridegroom was not one Of
these parties. lie appreciated all the
blessings which man and nature bad
bestowed upon him. lie did not miss
a tunnel. -...f
But all thlrg must have an end. Day
light always comes TO newly married.
Strawberries must be paid for at the
cashiers desk. Within the blissful GU
cumber hides 'mIcrobe. Our young
husband goes for a drink Of water.
While on this errand his eager eye
catches another tunnel. OF course he
fears his birdie will be afraid IL left alone
in the darkness, and he hastens TO her
side. Quick are hts feet but faster
moves the train. Darkness gnthers
while he Is yet half dozen seats away.
But the brave man does not falter.
He gropes along, he reaches the seat
Cor he thinks be does ard slides into it.
Deep are the shadows, and huns the
train. 100 T.l
A scream, long and vigorous--a
sound Of scnilling--a thump or two
and thebrightlight Of May breaks upon
the scene. The young husband frantic
ally endeayors TO disengage himself from
the grasp of an angry colored woman sit
ting in the seat just behind the bride.
He at once succeeds and retires sullenly
TO his seat, wiping his mouth and occa-
sionally splitting upon the floor as II he
haG bitten through worm In fig.
The tunnels como and 70, but their
shadows are scarcely deeper than those
upon the face Of the yeung honeymoon.

Monkeys Family Life.

Among ether mammals the female ell
ement wields the scepter in family life,
but in the realm of spes the male is in
vested with the sovereign power, not
by general suffrage, but by the right of
force. The Oldest and strongest male
of a troop proclaims himself chief and
leader, after having vanquisbed all his
competitors. The longest teeth AMI the
strongest arms decide in the question Of
supremacy. All those who show re-
luctance to submit are chastised till
they come 10 reason. To the strongest
belongs the crown; in his sharp teeth
resides his wisdom. This ferocious ty-
rant understands his duty as leader,
and performs the same with dignity.
His subordinates hatter and fondle him
in every way. As genuine Pasha, he
accepts this respect with kind OF lam
guild acquiescence. In return he
watches carfully over his vassals, and
fare and security. He orders and dt-
rects minute details in daily life. The
female monkey gives birth to one young
one, very seldom to twins. The new
born monkey is little ugly creature,
bare of hairs. with spindling limbs and
a repulsive senile face But the mother
is passionately fond of her monster, and
caresses and nurses il with remarkable
devotion. She does not leave IL for
single moment, she presses II to her
heart, rocks it to and fro, and Ia kes tho
utmost care to keep it absolutely clean
In the first period Of life the baby is
apathetic and almost insensible, but be-
gins gradually to play with urchins OF
its age. The mother is a patti OBJ
server of the first steps of her beloved,
and watch es carefully that no harm
may befall il. In the meantime she
trains it, and the first virtue inculcated
in the mind of the youngster is obedi-
ence, obedience in the strictest sense OF
the word. Men have ridiculed the ma
ternal affection OF the brute, and speak
of "apish love-" In our eyes the ten
derness exhibited by the monkey may
have ridiculous side, but where is the
man who could, without deep emotion,
witness the anxiety OF mother-ape
nursing her sick child? must confess
that, to my eye, in such cases she Is at
least the equal Of the human mother. If
the young ape dies, the spectacle Is
piteous one. The mother cannot be sep
arated from the dead body, refuses all
food, and frequently perisbes from grief.
In such crisis the ape proves his con-
geniality with the human race. and In
his moral affections could stand as an
example to many men.
