DROP A NICKEL IN THE SLOT.
me Wheels VIII Turn and You VIII Be
Photographed.
Nav York Tfrnaz

Awise man from Minneapolis has the
attest and most ingenious thing in the
hickel-in-the-slot machines on exhibition
on West Twenty-third street. It is a con-
trivance that stakes your picture for a
nickel" and it does its deadly work with
silence and dispatch. In forty seconds
from the time the victim drops the nickel
In the slot and turns the crank small but
truthful tintype Of the Coney Island va
riety comes ohsequiously out through a
crack.
The machine can do this 400 times with
out becoming exhausted. The outside is
like the exterior of a Observation-Disclosures
slot and have your eight-printed : on-a-
card while -beantiful-music-is -discoursed
machine, but the interior is a tangle of
wheels and wire springs and pulleys.
The principle Of the thing is simple. Ii
Is that of the fiash-light photograph. The
crank brings the fame of small alcohol
lamp near magnesium ribbon, which pro-
duces fash of light by which the picture
IS taken on tintype IL inches by IL
inches. The gentleman who has dropped
the nickel sits in front of O camera lens
five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter.
After receiving the impression the tin
type is picked up by a steel hand
ana dropped into the developer I"
where 1t remains thirty seconds, the
time being regulated by clock work. An.
other steel hand lifts il out of the develop
ing mixture and passes Ii along 10 a tiny
tank. where II gets a bath, which washes
OF the developing composition. After re-
naming here only second, it is dropped bv
third steel hand into a soda bath, where
u stays twenty seconds, this being regu-
lated by a second automatic clock arrange
ment. Then the tintype goes TO another
tank, where IL receives second washing.
This ends the photographing process. and
a steel hand now grasps il and drops il
into q tume. whence IL pops into Wow
outside as finished work of art
The machine merely duplicates the CO.
ings on in an ordinary photograph gallery.
except in so FAR as the developing COM
pound is concerned. Here is the secret OF
the scheme. In photography, as il is prac-
tlced at current rates, it is necessary TO
make a new supply of developing conlpo-
sition for each negative or set OF negatives.
The man from Minneapolis has discovered

machine now on exhibition is a triplicate.

bigger hurry than that.

The other day met State Senator Henry
Kellar, Of Sank Center, Mimi, million

in this city. / was very much interested
in chat with him about Ignatius Dom
nelly. Senator Kellar is politically his
enemy, but comedies his great ability.
The announcement by the publishers of
Caesars Column" that the author of that
somewhat remarkable book is Ignatius
Donnelly, of Shakespeare Bacon fame, did
not surprise me as much as it might those
who do not know of the tremendous en-
ergy of the Minnesota Sage" He said:
''He Is literary and political steam en-
CINE. He is the most unique figure in
some respects in our national history. No
other man | can now recall combines in
himself so thoroughly the characteristics
of literary man and q politician.
AS writer he is studious, persistent
as machine, as the laborious details in
working out the alleged cipher in Shakes
peare show. The cryptogram no less
shows the audacity of his conception,
which was family foreshadowed when his
fascinating Atlantis first appeared. His
language often leads the fancy captive.
In political work he is master. There Is
no stump speaker in the Northwest who
can approach him. His fund of stories is
inezhaustiole, and his vocabulary is fault
less

is no question as 10 his ability as

he has few equals in the
United States. How man in the midst
of such exciting and turbulent political
work has found time TO achieve the literary
reputation he has already won is mystery
even TO those who know him best. He is
the biggest gun in the Minnesota Alliance
