photography.

The art of photography, or printing from
stone, now so extremely common, was the
result of an accidental discovery. Alois
Senefelder, poor musician of Munich,
Bavaria, used TO engraye his own compo-
sitions. As copper plates were too expen-
sive, he tried etching on stone, but was
not successful.
One morning, his mother asked him to
make out the washing bill, and in his
hurry he caught up one Of his polished
stones, and wrote ont the bill on that, with
the peculiar ink he had prepared for his
experiments. Some time after he found
that the ink had firmly set in the stone.
He then conceived the idea of causing
an acid TO eat away the stone where it
was not protected by ink. One expert
ment led to another, and the process of
TYPOGRAPHY was invented. The idea was
to make drawing with a greasy sub
stance On passing a roller covered with
peculiar ink over the stone, the lines
drawn took the ink, and the rest of the
stone was left clean.
1t was in 1893, only three years after
| the first discovery of the process, that
Senefelder obtained the exclusive privilege
| for TYPOGRAPHY in Bavaria, and the ven
ture was highly successful.
There is something remarkable in the
fact that if Senefelder had experimental
with any other stone, he would have
failed, for although there are other de
posts in the world that can be used in
stead of the kelheim stone, there are none
equal to it.

A New Torpedo.


For year or so past experiments have
been carried out to test the extraordinary
powers claimed for Il new torpedo in
vented by Mr.. Brennan, young Austral
ian, and offered by him to the British
Government, The Admiralty granted to
the inventor the use of a easement on the
upper tier Of Garrison Point fort, Sheer
ness, and torpedo factory was erected
outside the fort with tramway running
down to the sea beach. With these ad
vantages and ample sea room in front, the
preliminary trials have taken place, and
the mechanism has been SO far perfected
as to admit of an official inspection This
has proved so satisfactory that the Admir-
atty have already agreed 10 adopt the tor
pedo as part of the national armament.
According TO report. the inventor is to
have a very handsome reward, and various
sums ranging from E40,000 to 100000,
are mentioned, while it is positively as
serted he has been paid 100000 ON ac-
count. The new torpedo, which is of the
aggressive class. is altogether distinct in
principle from the Whitehead, the Har
vey, or any other system known in the SER
vice In many trials which have taken
place in public, machine something like
the section of boat has been seen to de
scend to the waters edge by means of a
carriage ON the tramway and plunge into
the sea, through which it has shot at n
marvellous speed estimated by some OBJ
servers at fifty miles an hour. Its prin-
ciples have now, however, been explained
without reserve to many officials and
others, and will shortly be taught gener
ally Throughout the navy There will con
sequently be no longer any attempt to
keep the secret, and il may be explained
that the torpedo is impelled by a steam
engine, which is stationed within the fort
and acts upon it by winding in very rap
idly two wires coiled round reels within
the machine As the wires are independ
ent of each other and actuate different
propellers. the torpedo can be steered
from the engine with great accuracy it is
even practicable TO stop the messenger IL
full flight and send him ON again, but this
IS thought to try severely the endurance
of the wires, which are as thin rs those of 1

THE RESTRICTION OF CHINESE
IMMIGRATION.

For thirty years, in fact, almost since
Chinese first made their appearance in
California, there has been strong
prejudice against them, especially among
miners. This prejudice frequently cul-
minated in attempts to keep them out
of mining districts, and as long ago as
1858 miners in Shasta county and other
parts of Northern California prohibited
them from working the placers, except
within prescribed limits. Gradually the
feeling against the Mongolians spread all
over the Coast, though at the time of
the ratification of the Burlingame
treaty, which accorded to Chinese in
the United States all the rights and
privileges of subjects of the most favor.
ed nations, politicians in the then domi-
nant party, tainted white workingmen
with cowardice, for fearing Chinese
competition. The Universal Brother.
hood of Man" idea prevailed in Con.
gress, and permeated the party in power
to such an extent, that George c. Cor
ham, the avowed champion of Chinese,
was nominated by that party for Gov
ernor of California. His defeat exalted
him to the dignity of martyr and he
was made Secretary of the United States
Senate and kept in that position, until
his party lost control Of that body under
the Administration OF Hayes.
No attention was paid to the anti.
Chinese cry until the manufacturers on
this coast joined in it, when the Chinese
began to compete with them, and there
was change in the political complexion
OF the National Legislature. Then,
under Arthur's Administration, bill
passed Congress to restrict Chinese i'm.
migration. 1t was promptly vetoed by
the President, who afterwards signed
it in modified form. 1t failed, how.
ever, to accomplish the purpose for
which il was designed, as the Federal
Courts and Customs officers in San
Francisco devised several methods of
evading it. Now, however, President
Cleveland, much as he differs with the
ideas OF the people of this Coast on the
silver question, is certainly in favor of
restricting Chinese immigration, and
signifies the same in his message. Ac-
cordingly, the California delegation in
Congress has drawn up bill, which ex.
plicitly directs how return certificates
shall be furnished Chinese leaving the
United States, and provides that a
photograph of the Chinaman, to whom
a certificate is issued, shall be attached
to the certificate, and that a notice
shall be printed ON the same in
Chinese characters, that any person,
except the one to whom it is legally
issued. attempting to use it, is liable to
prosecution and Imprisonment. This
bill, it is believed, will be passed by
Congress and signed by the President
at an early day, and will effectually
prevent Chinese immigration through
the connivance of Custom House officers,
or the rulings of the Federal Courts.

To the north of Cranberry stands in

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The British Government Wants $50
Head for Rejected Chinese.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 5.-A new
complication has arisen in connection with
the Chinese question. It appears that
the British government refuses to
permit its possessions to be made
dumping ground for the rejected
Chinese of the United States, except
npon payment OF a fee which it is quite i'm
possible for the United Suites to pay, and
which, perhaps, is an exorbitant measure
of the worthlessness of the Chinese.
This discovery has been made by
one of the customs officers on the
northwestern boundary. Hereports to the
department thatwhile strenuously endeav-
oring to carry out the instructions of the
famous Chinese circular and put back up.
on British soil Chinese who had come into
the United States in violation of the pro.
visions of the restriction act, he was met
with Canadian statute-whether new or
old does not appear-which required the
payment to the treasury of the Canadian
government of $50 for each Chinaman as
the condition precedent of readmission to
British soil. The officer suggests to the treas
ury department that he has no money at
his disposal to pay for such readmissions,
and he asks the Treasury Department what
he is to do about it. The existence of this
Canadian statute-if in fact it does exist,
and has been rightly construed-was not
known to our authorities, and they certain
ly have no appropriation from which they
can pay $50 per head for every Chinaman
80 be exported. The situation is a novel
one and raises an international question of
peculiar perplexity.

Their Hunt for Redskins.
DEMING, N. NJ, Oct. 9.-Reports are
coming IN from various parts of Ari-
iona OF the old pioneers of that terri
tory, tempted by the reward Of $3.50
for Indian scalps, made by several
counties in Al iona, having started out
on a hunt for redskins with view OF
obtaining their scalps. They think
this is the most practicable method
yet suggested Of forever ending the
Apache Indian war. The $3.50 is
merely incidental to the hunt: it pays
for the whisky and tobacco used in
camp. 1t is believed several New Mex
lean cities and counties will adopt this
plan of exterminating the savages.
The fight at Gallerp' sranch, yesterday,
has thoroughly aroused Western New
Mexico, and additional troops besides
the squad from Albuquerque which
went to the ranch are now being held in
readiness at Ell Paso, Tex. The In
dams are roaming about in small
bands, and this enables them to COM
nit crimes and escape or hide much
easier than when they were all to-
gether. Some killing is looked for.

Brewers at Cincinnati Cut Their Figures

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 1O.-The rapid
growth Of Scent saloons, or places
where beer can be purchased for
cents q glass, has rather stricken ter
ror to the heart of the average saloon
man. The standard price of beer for
some time has been So per barrel, or
50 per keg. About two weeks ago the
saloon men succeeded in having the
price reduced to $1.75 per key, or 81
per barrel. Afterward they made a
proposition, asking that beer be-
sold at So per barrel, and sew
eral breweries have commenced sell
ing at that price. Now right
there is where the trouble comes
in. A Detroit company is making ar
rangements to start large number Of
saloons in the city, where beer can be
purchased at three cents a glass and O.
lunch thrown in. This has aroused
the saloon-men, and at their meeting
yesterday they took action in regard
to the matter. just what was accom-
plished, however, was kept secret. It
might not be out of place to state that
there are already $50 three cent sa-
looms i'll this city, and that within the
last two days, three places of this
kind have opened up on Twelfth Street,

SulliVan's Earnings.
From the Boston Globe. I


An estimate of the amount ofmoney
made by Sullivan since his entrancein-
to the ring is as follows: In the fight
with Flood, $1,000; Ryan, 50, 200;
Mitchell, $6,745; United States tour,
$4,000; Boston exhibition, 81, $50;
Slade, So, 4S5; New York tour, $780,
900; Latin, S., 500; Mitchell second

Second time), 50, 800; pitching ball,
81, 800; New Brunswick tour. 81, 900;
Sullivan's ball nine, $4,000; Burke,
1885; Mccartney, S5,68O; LIQUOR
store, $25, 5000; total, S157, $50.
All this money was made inside Of a
fewyears. He has very little to show
FOR it to-day. Luckily hehad retained
is love for home and his parents, and
during his tour OF triumphs he sent
home sums of money varying from
$1,000 to $4,000. His father has
something to show for this. He owns
his homestead at the Boston highland
and has a neat $4,000 in his stocking.
This is about all that is left Of Johns
great earnings.
recklessly and foolishly. His habits in
Boston Illustrate his behavior every
where. When flush, that is, when he
has just won a fight or a successful ex-
hibition, and has had thousands in
in his pockets, he makes tour Of the
bar-rooms and calls for wine. Bottle
after bottle would be opened and
everybody asked to drink. Quarts Of
the liquor would be wasted without
stint Then, ss the champion becomes
heated by the wine, as an amusement
it has been his custom to throwa bot
tie or anything that came handy at
the pyramids of glassware with which
the bartenders are in the habit of
decorating the counters behind their
bars. A bottle crashing into the
center of one of these pyramids caused
hundreds of dollars worth Of damage.
and then, again, too, when the tempt
ing pyramids were wanting the cham
piOn for amusement crashed a bottle
or his cane against the handsome mir
rors, running them and necessitating
their replacement by new ones. John
has appeased the wrath of the pro-
prietors by paying for the damage on
the spot. Then, too, it has been the
custom OF the big fellow to call for
drinks costing, for example, 81 and
handing over a $50 bill. On receiving
the change he would throw it in the
bartender's face or scatter it widely
over the floor. That a ''fool and his
money soon part has been more than
eXelnpllied by the pugilist.

FIFTY years ago the Boston &
Worcester Railroad made trial trip
of it's first locomotive, built by Rob-
ert Stevenson, of Newcastle, Eng. 1t
hauled with apparent ease ten or
twelve loaded dump cars. The loco
motive was mounted on four wheels,
and weighed eight tons. By the side
OF the powerful engines of the present
day, weighing forty, fifty and sixty
tons, it would appear as a mere toy.
Six years later the directors of this
railroad had grave doubts as to the
expediency of adopting engines weigh
ing eleven or twelve tons, Evidently
locomotive construction, as we'll as
use, was in it's infancy.
