The latest use of photography is to
make cannon ball take a picture of
its own wabblings. An arrangement
something like camera is to be
placed in the forward end of the pro-
jectile, and when it is fired directly
at the sun the light traces lines upon
the plate, from the direction of which
it can be told whether the projectile
has kept in one position or has wave
red to and fro during its fight.

to institute suit against telegraph

Sallie is the Christian name of his

Above of n Gown.

The dress, trimmed in natural robins
wings, which Mrs. Mackay wore at re
cepion in Paris not long since, suggested
an idea to one of New York's bird-fan
ciers. The percentage of death is very
great among canary birds, he says, anc
it occurred to him to contract with Other
fanciers for any canary birds that might
die in a specified time. He hunted uf
fashionable modiste and found her
ready to fall in with his scheme. She
picked out her victim, a rich society
woman, and secured an order from her,
with the remark that she did not care
what it cost if she (the modiste) would
only promise her that the result would
be "a love of gown" when finished.
1t has been seen by many, who say there
is not another one in tho country like it,
and it is said TO have 750 wings upon it.

The Yellow Garter.

The craze for the yellow silk garters has
grown to large proportions, and now the
dainty article is kept in stock in every
store which women patronize in the
land The first appearance of the garter
in the hands of the street fakir, accord
ing to the New York Sun, has
been in Philadelphia, where an
old colored peddler was seen a
few days ago in the center of an
interested crowd on the corner of Broad
and Market streets. There weren't
many women in the crowd and it is safe
to FAY that the fakir did not MAKE his
fortune. He didn't seem to mind that,
though, but kept dangling the garters in
the eyes of passing girls, and monoton-
opsly chanted: "For the way you put

PARIS, July 28.-Elections for men,
bers of the Councils General were held
throughout France today. General
Boulanger contested Ais Cantons. He
has been successful in Bordeaux where he
polled 1916 votes against 1851 for his
opponent. He was defeated in Montpel-
ier and Rouen.
Returns from $50 Cantons show that
Boulanger was successful in only twelve.
Returns are still awaited from 903 Can
tons. The hopes of the Boulangists
have fallen to zero.
The time granted to Boulanger, Dillon
and Rochefort to answer the summons of
the Senate Court, having expired, an
official today publicly read before their
residences a decree giving the accused
ten days in which to appear before the
Court. Failing in this their property
will be sequestered and they will be
deprived of all civil rights.

A Treasure In Type.

AntIluarlans. are now making an In
teresting hunt Tor il copy for the irst
book printed in New York Until
quite recently, says the New York
Hera'd il was supposed that the laws
of the colony published by official
orders in 1864, was the earliest spec-
men of book making here, There is
reason TO believe. though. that the
Dukes Laws" as this volume was
generally called was anteiated hy
another work bv several months il not
n year. The discovery WAS made by
Mr. Berhold Frrnow, who for fifteen
years or more was engaged III the
translation, classification, and index
ing Of the old manuscript records be-
longing to the state. Among y lot Of
old papers, lie found warrant for the
payment to Bedford, the colonial
printer, of Il certain amount fer Il
pamphlet giving the story of the con-
troversy between New York and Con-
ncctiCut. The title OF the book is
known from references made to it IN
an answer made by the governor of
Connecticut which was also printed
and copies of it are now i'll existence.
Diligent search has been made
among the archives of this state for
copy Of this early New York publica-
ton. but no trace Of it can anywhere
be found. Book-hunters and blbllo-
philes all over the country were CORE
sponded with. and the assistance OF
historical and kindred societies IN
yoked. So far these searches have not
been rewarded by success. bnt the hunt
has lv 40 means been abandoned.
None of the biz libraries have a copy
Of his first book and the most noted
private collections have been ran
sacked for it IN vain. Mr.. Fernow has
just written to the British museum to
see II any information regarding 1t can
be obtained.
Whoever is the possessor Of copy OF
this pamphlet will find that he has a
treasure. because high value is placed
| on it.
