Photographing In Colors.

The more that is learned about the al
legged discovery by M. Verres, or Verescz,
of the secret of photographiDg in natural
cOl0rs the smaller the actual results seem.
In letter be himself says: There is en-
tirely too much noise made about the inno-
walton. In its present state of imperfec-
tion it is highly interesting as a scientific
attainment. Much time and money will be
required to make it available for practical
workers." In some OF the glass pictures
taken the foliage-a dark green-is feebly
represented. In others red, yellow, and to
a certain extent blue, are shown, and in
pictures red, orange and violet are seen by
transmitted light, and by reflected light the
red tones assume light green, and violet a
dark orange. On the paper pictures the
ground is gray, not white, and black is re-
produced black. In photograph of vase
of flowers coppery red and orange are the
most prominent colors, and the leaves show
here and there feeble blue The opinion
Of European photographers seems to be
that M. Verres has not advanced beyond
the results reached by Bequerell-perhaps
not SO far.-The illustrated American.

The dream was this thought lived in Spain
With all my ancestors, from now to Shem.

That fell for forty days, destroying them.
The house we lived in had single room.
And one small bed therein, in which we all,
When night had stepped the valley in its
gloom,
WouId-every one OF us-contentcd crawl;
And there we'd sleep, with Adam on one SIDE
And l, the youngest of the line, on t'other
And here's the fun whcrcat laughed and cried
Until my wife and family thought I'd smother:
pushed my father 'gainst my grandad: he
Pushed up against his father with snore;
And so it went up through my ancestry
Until old Adam fell out on the floor.
This reused his anger, and he turned about
And soundly spanked his baby for the trick,
Who thereat on his own sen took 1t out
by giving him most tremendous kick.
The kick was passed along from dad to sou,
And gathered force as nearer me it came.

Aud so, poor coward that am. I slipt
Out on the floor; then speedily awolle

And left my father viStim of my joke.
My wife when she had heard the fearSomc tale
Was sure some horrid omen she could trace
Therein, and pleaded with mot to fail
TO have some doctor diagnose the case.
And so I sought the doctor, and he said,

appreciate the new invention. 1t is a
stylish cane which would give distinc-
ton to a young clerk taking his usual
Sunday walk on Fifth avenue. There
is miniature electric battery hidden
in the end of the cane, and an electric
light concealed under the top of the
zane.
When, after pursuing azig-zag couNe,
the lucky owner of one of these canes
arrives at his lodgings and finds that
the key-hole has gone around the block,
he unscrews the top of the cane. Then
he touches little button in the cane
and Instantly an electric fame glows
and throws a flood of light on the key
hole. The young man walks upstairs
and goes to bed by the light of his cleo
trio cano. 1t is pleasanter than falling
over the porch, ringing up the house
and carrying the stairs up to bed with
you.
If the young man drops his last one
may light his electric cano and look for
it. If he drops his pocket-bo he may
find it by the aid of this ingenious in
vention. He may pick his way through
the little side streets on a dark night
by following this luminous cane. If he
should encounter highwayman, the
terrified footpad would throw up his
hands and run as soon as he saw the
electric light glittering and flashing
| from the head of the electric walking
stick. The modern Dick Turpins would
suppose that it was an enchaated cane,
and that the fortunate possessor of it
| was not real person, but some weird
avenging spirit.
Every one knows that one of the
greatest objects of dread in life is to get
up out of bed on cold winter morning
and kindle fire. This is obviated now
| by the electric flre-kindler. All the
head of the family has to do now is to
turn over on his pillow and touch an
electric button. The fire lights in the
kitchen stove, the pot boils, the kettle
sings. 1t is great improvement over
the old way. When this comes into
general use such wives as "Poor PEARL

Electricity is the great new force that

place of the coal mine as the source Of
the force which moves the machinery

of electricity, small wonder is it that so
many Ingenious electrical contrlvances
have already been invented,
1t may surprise the reader to learn
that rats are put to death painlessly by
electrical execution. The new electric
rat-trap was invented after much study
by an ambitious young electrician of
Omaha, Neb. 1t resembles the ordinary
rat-trap, which is hardly more or less

He regards himself as a steady board

rubs his eyes and starts out to attend a
congress of rats that are planning to
raid a pantry.
The new cage is a most attractive lit

from the outside. The cheese is fresh

All unknown 70 the clever and philo-
sophtcal rat tho is little battery on
shelf in The cellar, and two wires run
from it TO the Car-. The positive wire
enters the cagc and is the one which
the fragrant, fresh cheese is on. The
negative wire connects with the zinc
floor which 'orms the bottom OF the de-
ceptive cage.
The rat walks boldly up to tho
cheese and says: II have been lodging
cat all morning, and. CAD, cooks, but
I'm hungry. l guess I'll try little OF
the cheese"
The rat, who was fat and jolly, took
the cheese in his month. His teeth
touched the wire. The moment he did
so he completed the circuit between the
wire and the zinc floor. Fifty volts of
continuous current went dancing
through him at the rate of thousand
miles Il second.
His toes turned up. His tail waved in
the air and twisted itself into forty
seven ineXplicable knots. He dropped
down as dead as door nail-and the
cheese still! hung on the nail. The res
taurant was still open for business as
usual.
A rat who had come along like dep
uty coroner, just in time to see the
close of the tragedy, said: What a
/ hebetudinous crank that rat was! The

Gently held large convention and pro-
tested against electrical execution. All
declared that if they must die they pre-
ferred to be killed in the good old

The new Omaha rat-trap is merely
| the electrical moue of execution applied
| to rats. Each rat that wanders in and
nibbles tho cheese becomes link IN
the electric circuit and dies in the
same way that Kemmler died.
The principle being simple one and
easy of application, it may ultimately
be applied in the killing of cattle and
pigs in the stock yards. A four hun
dred-pound pig may walk into zinc
pen, start to eat an ear of corn which
hides an electric wire, drop down, curl
up his tail and die.
