A Chicago Photographers Proposition.

A Chicago photographer is about to per-
petrate joke on his contemporaries which
is worthy Of the severest reprehension. He
is nearing the completion of collection of
some ten thousand persons who are deemed
celebrated by the more or less unanimous
testimony Of the American public in this
day and generation, and is to commit it to a
memorial safe which no has arranged to de
posit in the City hall vaults and have opened
in 1916, the second centennial of the United
States. He proposes to emphasize this
atrocity by putting in with the pictures
brief biographical sketches of their subjects.
To appreciate the hilarity which this is cal
culated to excite among our posterity, let us
suppose that it had been possible to deposit
in place of safety thousand or two por-
traits of the men deemed celebrated in l77G.
We SHOULD, probably, have had more of the
familiar names of history, but in what extra
ordinary companyl And in these days of
newspaper notoriety, think of an assemblage
of 10000 celebrated personages" whose fame
is expected to survive some ninety years II
it he good to give posterity laugh at ou1
expense, the plan has something to commend
it, but who would not pray to bo delivered
from preservation in this Photographic

A LATTER DAY ARTIST.
Being tho Confession and Experience OF
Isnua Tnnar Jor,ro,

tselng tho Confession and Experience of n
Boss Paper Hanger.
"The business of interior decoration, and
especially Of paper hanging" said an uptown
artist few days ago to n reporter, "during
the past few years has undergone n complete
change"
'sDo you refer to the style Of the material
or Workmanship
VI refer to both. The change in style, how
ever, has not been the work of the producer
of tho material. Had it not been for the nd
vance made in artistic arrangement of ma
terial placed in the hands of paper hangers
interior decoration would still be largely con
fined to the simple papering of walls and sur
mounting them with border of the conven
tional type, only changing in width, like the
brim of a silk hat, from season to season."
"You think, then, the artist who hangs the
paper, and not the designer, was tho chief
factor in the reformation7"
II know it. The demand was created before
the supply came to hand. For years tho ex-
pert paper hanger struggled along, weaving
old designs into new combinations before the
manufacturers followed in his footsteps. A
few years ago such thing us u papered cell
ing was unknown, and now they are almost
as common as paper on the walls"
''uow does the change affect Your profess
sion7
VASTLY for the better. successful paper
hanger Of today must be an artist by nature
An apprentice now is not nero wielder of
paste brush but little removed from the bill
poster In fact, the brush is one of the last
things put in his hands, We first set him to
work studying all sorts of designs, to see if ho
has the required taste and comprehension for
And I,
and set him to work making designs of his
own and forming combinations out of the mn.
terial furnished him. Included in this is the
elements of mathematics, for unless he can de-
fine tho elements and requirements of the
space to be covered, no matter what his art
istic instincts may be as combiner of colors,
he will be failure as paper hanger"
l. "What duty does the novice first atte,npt in
the trade7"
"That depends OH how the attempt is made
If you mean a novice in the light of an ANA.
teur he will probably essay the same line of
business as if he wanted to strut the stage.
and begin at the top-the cciling-which is the
most difficult branch Of the art and can only
be accomplished successfully after years Of
patient application. If you mean the appren.
tice, he is placed at the work Of FASTING and
preparing the paper for the hanger, and when
he is perfect in that he is trusted with the
common grades of side walls, and then is a,l.
vanced gradually to the ceiling and its artistic
arrangements"
| Are there many drawbacks to the busi-
nessa"
Yes, great many. Wehave to make all
work perfect. Not spot can be left on the
walls. A blot the size Of the end of your fin
ger may mar the work of an entire room, and
oftentimes can only be removed by hours OF
the most painstaking and careful labor.
Then, too, the season is comparatively short
and all our work has to be done at once."-

The Ambition of Algeria.

After an existence of fifty-seven years as a
French colony Algeria has determined that
it is time to be released from financial lead
ing strings and to have budget of its own,
and this suggestion, originated and warmly
supported by the governor general, has been
unanimously adopted by the conseil superb
eur. When the armies Of Louis Philippe
first descended on its coast the colony, nc
cording to the recent report of our consul in
Algiers, was almost waste land 1t has now
nearly 100000 of acres under cultivation,
of which 10000 acres are vineyards The
annual exports of the colony amount to Gs,-
100000, there is daily service of steamers
to France. 1850 miles of railroads are in
working order, and profound peace exists
everywhere. Yet taxes in Algeria are still
collected by the central power and con-
founded with those OF France, so that the
colony is actually ignorant of the amount of
its own resources. News

The Comnosition Of ouichsand

Quicksand is composed chiefly of small
particles of mica mixed largely with water
The mica is SO smooth that the fragments slip
upon each other with the greatest facility, SO
that any heavy body which displaces them
will sink and continue to sink until solid
bottom is reached. When particles of sand
are Jagged and angular any weight pressing
on them will crowd them together until they
are compactcd into solid mass A sand

The Laws of Nature,

1t is singular to contrast the growing splen-

laws of nature are reversed, if it be true, as
Mr.. Darwin teaches, that the male bird owes
the hues of his plulnage and the beauty Of
his form to his desire to please the hens and
