Automatic Photo-rapl,ing.

The latest development of the penny
automatic delivery box is a machine for
taking portraits, which will shortly be
competing in railway stations and other
public places with the sweetmeat and
cigarette boxes. The machine is in the
form of large square box, mounted on
hollow pedestal. On the front center is
small lens, surmounted by mirror,
slot for pence is in the top left hand cor
ner, while a smaller slot for half pence,
in the opposite corner, is for the supply
OF brass folding frames for the mounting
of the photographs. The person to be
photographed takes his stand in front of
the lens, with his back to post or rail
fixed at a distance of three feet from the
machine, and adjusts himself so that his
full face shall be reflected in the mirror.
With his left hand he then puts pen
ny in the slot and remains motionless
for five seconds, when the sound of
bell announces that the impression is
complete. In forty seconds more the
finished photograph, ON metal plate,
drops through the delivery hole on to a
small shelf, and the process is complete.
An extra half penny will procure suit
able frame. but this luxury is optional
The impressions resemble those of the
cheap glass positive photographs, only
that tinplate is substituted for glass,
The mechanism is at present secret,
but the principle appears to be that of a
rotary arm, which carries the plate
through series of chemical baths till
the impression is developed and fixed

Glass Railroads..

Attention has been called to one Of the
greatest novelties in the construction of
street railroads. Glass sleepers. intro
duced by Mr.. Lindsay Buckill and Mr.. W.
Siemen. of Dresden. have been tried with
such satisfaction that it is now proposed
to make broad, longitudinal sleepers
of glass, having a groove in the upper sur
face, and so combining in themselves the
functions of both sleepers and rails. This
would do away with the necessity for
separate iron rails. with their fastenings
and other complications. In paper by
DR.. Schott it is shown that by properly
tempering glass with oil this very brittle
substance ''can be made. mass for mass.
stronger than steel, and practically I'M
breakable." This being the fact, may we
not soon expect to see railroads using
large quantities of this plentiful sub
stance for rails and for other purposes for
which iron is now used?-St. Louis Re-

Ancient Scenes Depicted.

The archaic room in the British mu-
scum is now approaching completion.
On the west side Of the gallery stands
the harpy tomb, formerly on the Aero
polls of Xanthos in Lycia. The harpies
are seen scalptured in bas relief, carry
ing off the souls of the daughters of Pan
dareos, a Lycian hero. On the north and
south walls of the room are arranged the
casts of the pediInental groups from the
temple of Athene, in Egina. The orig
ina!s. it will be remembered, are at Mu-
mich. They represent the expedition of
Eginaten heroes against Troy, guided
by Athene or Minerva, and the contest
of the Greeks and Trojans over the body
of PatToclus, described in the "Illad."
The temple was erected before 563 B. G.

Romance Of a Diamond.

A very curious case has been exercis-
ing the authorities at the Cape. In ac-
cordance with tEss law which regards as
stolen every diar4ond which man sells
or has in his possession. unless its origin
and pedigree are registered at the detec-
tive department, q man brought up for
registration the other day large dia-
mond. worth some thousands of pounds,
which had, he alleged, been given to
him long ago by his sweetheart. His
story was that certain lady, still
living, and now the wife of another
man. had found the stone and sent it to
him some fifteen or twenty years ago,
inclosed along with feather in letter,
begging him to accept it as keepsake.
The faithful lover had kept it all this
time. he said, but now. being hard up,
wished to sell it. He demanded. accord
ingly that the detective department
should supply him with permit. The
detective communicated with the lady.
She. however. being Il married woman,
seemed III no way anxious to have fool
ish romance of her callow youth revived,
and professed to have no memory of any
such transaction. Thereupon the mother
of the claimant rumnaged about and dis

There it lies at the detective office-a
faded relic of a sentiment of long ago.

wisdom as is usual in such things: but

substantial than any, perhaps. which the
recipient put uponit "when we two parted

that the authorities believe the story. that
the genuineness Of the whole affair is in
fair way to be established, and that the
happy owner will soon be enriched by the
proceeds of the diamond which has had
