made G small camera, which he con-

was so cleverly arranged that the joint
could not be seen. At first he used wet
plates but he soon saw sn5 disadvantage
he was laboring under. About that time
the lightning dry plates were put on the
market and the Frenchman's hopes rose
high. He could take his hat anywhere
with him, and no one, at a glance, would
suspect its double purpose. Placed on

and the exposure made. In some re-
spects the hat camera was immeasurably

The exports of American manu-

than 10 per cent over the previous
year. China is the largest consumer.

Something like a monopoly in the
supply of petroleum to the North of
Europe has now been created by the
formation of company at Antwerp
for taking over the oil-storage prop.

Speth & Co., as well as the store
and tank-steamers of the Rotterdam
Oil Company. The Standard Oil
Company is largely interested in the
new undertaking, and as they now
control the Bremen and Hamburg
petroleum business, the whole oil
trade of Northwestern Europe has
virtually fallen into their hands
