1t will require only few years to so
perfect the Photographic art that we
will be able to take pictures at night by
the ordinary light. Already there are
experiments progressing in Germany
with what are called isochromatic plates
for the taking of photographs by the
light of an ordinary kerosene lamp, and
very good pictures have been taken OF
both persons and objects in this way, the
only difficulty being that the lamp had
to be placed a little too close to the sub
.ject.
Good photographs have been taken
by the electric light have done some
good work in that way myself-but the
trouble with the electric light is that you
miss the soft shades and lines and can
not work as quickly. As l said, there
will be night pictures taken before long;
but do not see what good can be &C
complished, as the morning and middle
of the day, when people are fresh and
feel good, are the best times to have
photos taken, and not the night when
people are worn Globe Democrat

An immense Devil Fish.
William H. Dali in Science. !

In 1874 speared an octopus in the
narbor of Iliuliuk, Unalashka, which
was afterward hung, by a cord tied
around the body Immediately behind
the arms, to one of the stern davis OF
the coast survey vessel under my com
mand.
AS soon as the animal died and the
muscles relaxed, noticed that the tips
of the longer tentacles just touched the
water. On measuring the distance with
cord, | found it to be sixteen feet,
giving the creature spread, from tip
to tip of the longest pair of arms, of not
less than thirty-two feet. The arms to-
ward the tips were all exceedingly slen-
der, but rather stout toward the body,
which was somewhat over foot long.
The largest suckers were two and hall
inches in diameter; the whole creature
nearly filled large washtub
Having heard ocuipi were eatable, anG
the flesh looking white and clean, We
boiled some sections OF the arms in salt
and water, but found them so tough
and elastic that our teeth could no
make the slightest impression on them

The Plgtail as q Brain Regulator
ATLANTA Constitutional


With a population of 800, O0O, 900
China has not a single insane asylum.
This fact does not prove that there are
no lunatics among the Chinese, but it
shows that they are not sufficiently
numerous to make an asylum neces-
sary.
To what do the Chinese owe their ex-
emption from brain diseased Various
explanations are given. 1t is said that
the Monaghan enjoys mental repose
He does not fret and worry. AS his re-
ligion has been established for thou
sands of years he let's it alone. He
cares nothing about politics. There is
no competition to stimulate him. All
the business of life is regulated by the
government. ~ @ A&
Doubtless all these things are con-
ducive to mental sanity, but the Chi
neman's equipoise is probably due to
his pigtail more than anything else.
It takes good judgement and nice
sense of proportion to make and keep
in order trst-class pigtail. 1t must
hang evenly from the middle of the
head between the shoulders. 1t acts as
a sort of alance-weight. Some mental
concentration is required to keep a pig
tail in order, and self-love, pride and
methodical habits are involved in it.
This may seem trife, but the human
mind is controlled by triaes. Our, Chi
nese friends perhaps builded wiser than
they knew when they first twisted their
rigtails.

The Largest Nugget of Gold.
fGrass Valley Union.

Louis Blanding says the generally ac-
cepted statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worth q
little more than $21 900 is an errone-
GUS one. He says that J. J. Fnney,
sold Virginia, found a piece of gold
about six miles from Downieville,
Sierra county, on the 21st day of
August, 1857, that weighed 5000
ounces. The gold of that vicinity was
worth SIS an ounce which would make
the value of the nugget some 800, 0c0.
This would make the Kinney nugget the
largest piece of pure gold ever discov-
cred, so far as accounts go. Heretofore
the Australian nugget, found in the Ball
arat gold fields, has been considered the
largest. It was valued at $50, 900.
Finney, or ''Old Virginia" as ne was
Familiarity called in those days, after
ward went to Washoe when the great
silver discoveries were first made there,
and from him the town Of Virginia
took it's name. The man, who discov-
cred the largest nugget in the Cali
fornia .nines and gave his name to the
richest mining camp in the world, died
in extreme poverty.

Erroneous and Absurd.
Percy Smith.

The suggestion that oak trees are
struck because they contain iron is both
erroneous and absurd. If oak did con.
tain iron it would, in all probability,
increase its conducting power and act
IS preventive. If oak contained an
estimable quantity Of that metal the
wood would turn black on exposure to
air on account of the tannin which is
present. The blackening may be seen
surrounding the iron nails in an oak
fence. The contour of the ground, nat
ure of the soil, and the presence or alb
sence of water have more influence in
deciding the locality of an electric dis
charge than the height of tree. Add
to this the difference in conductility
between the various woods, and we
have at once an explanation of the sp-
parent popularity of tall trees escaping
unframed while shorter trees are de.
stroyed.

A New 1elegraphin Code.

The Geographic code published by
Mr. Labouchere in this weeks Truth

only half awake. By making use of
the Authorizations he suggests you can
certainly get good deal into 6-penny

husband in the city to his wife, means
"Our old friend Jones is coming out
with me to dinner. AS he is bit OF
an epicure, do your best in the time,
and let US have good glass of wine.
He will probably stay the night"
All this in FIVE words is perhaps very
creditable, but the wife's answer would
improve on it, In one word not in

would send her husband the following
message: what on earth made you in.
vite the man today For goodness sake
don't bring him here. Chops only.
You know there is no decent wine in
the house. Mother has the spare he'd

to MIR. Labouchere's code, the husband
would see the thing clearly, and take
Jones round to his club.

Remains a Frenchman Forever.

Everybody knows that a Frenchman
remains Frenchman forever, no mat
ter how much he travels. You might as
well take an elephant to visit foreign
countries with the idea that bis trunk
would eventually come off, as to lead a
FrenchInan through distant lands and
among strange peoples in the hope of
causing him TO lose the pecuSarities with
which he was born. An Englishaan or
even an American goes to foreigG
Mace, eats the foreign cooking, and
swears. A Frenchman goes there and
cooks for himself in his own way, or
finds some one to do It for him. Wher-
ever he may so he forever refuses to
adapt himself to things as they are
around him, but sets peacefully to work
fixing things as they were at
home.-Cor. New York sun.
