SHERMAN A CANDIDATE.
"Honest John" to Figure Among the
Presidential Possibilities.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-John
Sherman is again full-fedged presi-
dental candidate. He did not intend
to be, but the prominence of free coin
age in the Ohio campaign has brought
him to the front and he can't resist the
temptation to try it once more. He
thinks financial questions will be fully
as important in Congress this winter as
the tariff and that both issues will be
made IN the presidential campaign.
Chairman GARRISON, of the National
Committee, who left last night for Min
neapolis, said: 81 should say Senator
Sherman is likely to be a candidate.
He is undoubtedly coming to the front
again. have noticed revival of the
Sherman sentiment in good many
quarters-in New York and Wisconsin
Tor instance, where his popularity with
the Germans is great. [ am told there
is the same feeling in Ohio. I have
heard it claimed that his candidacy
would bring back into the Republican
fold as many as 100000 German-Ameri-
cans who have left the party because Of
prohibition"
AKRON, o., Dec. 12-Col A. L. Con-
ger left to-day for Chicago, where he
will be joined by Chairman Clarkson,
Gen. Powell Clayton, OF Arkansas, Hen
ry Payne, of Wisconsin, and Charming
F. Meek. They will 60 from there to
Minneapolis to make arrangements for
the Republican national convention.
In referring to the alleged interview
with Gen. Clarkson, given wide circula-
ton this week, in which it is claimed
that the latter stated Mr.. Blaine would
certainly withdraw his name from be-
fore the national Republican conven-
ton, and that Mr.. Harrison would be
certainly renominated, Col. Conger
stated positively that he was in posi-
ton to declare the interview "fake,"
pure and simple.

WRECKED AND BURNED.
Peculiar Combin alton of Disasters at
Marquette, Mich.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Dec. "a rail-
road wreck and fire caused the
destruction this morning of about
$4,000 worth of property here.
A special freight on the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic road broke in two on
a heavy grade just west of town, and the
caboose and freight car plunged down
grade into the city, where it leaped the
track and crushed through two DWELL
ings, the inmates barely escaping with
their lives. Mrs. Patrick Mccarthy es-
capped by miracle, the concus-

but the cars passed her without injur-
ing her in the least. A stove in the ca
boose set fire to the wreck, burning
both cars and two houses. The prop
erty is partially insured.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 9.-Frederick A.
Harter, for many years paying teller of
the Detroit National Bank is short
about $4,000 in his accounts. The
retirement of Cashier Davidson
and the customary auditing and
examination of the books led to the dis
coverv of Harter's crime. It is said his
method was to raise the figures on checks
presented for payment and also make
false entries to cover up the deficiency
in the cash. Harter has made partial
restitution and will not be prosecuted.

The use of tears is not generally appreciated.
even by those who shed them most freely. saw
the Newcastle Chronicle. 1t is assumed that
tears are shed only occasionally. as an ex-
preston of grief, though tears of joy are no,
wholly unknown. This, however. is a mistake.
for the discharge of tears is continuous and the
flow of moisture from the lachrymal glands
serves very beautiful provision of nature. An
immense quantity of fine dust is always floating
in the air, and though this is impalpable to the
vision, 1t would soon obscure the sight if al.
lowed to remain in the eyes. The continual
flow of moisture from the lachrymal glands is
sufficient to keep the eyeballs clear from this
accumulation Of dust; but when any grit insect
or smoke gets into the eyes. it SO affects the
nerves as to cause an extra fow of tears &C
clear il away. Tears are thus involuntary and
may be caused by any pungent vapor. such a.
arise from acids or the odor of onions. The
chief element in the composition of a tear il
water, but with water is associated minute pro-
portions of salt, soda, phosphate of lime, phos-
phate of soda and mucus. and when seen under
the microscope a tear, after, evaporation. looks
like very small fish bone-owing 20 the salines
forming themselves into heightened cross
lines.

Photography Of Colors. .

FROM the new IOrk
The recent success Of NJ. G. Lippmann in
solving the problem Of reproducing the colors
of the solar spectrum geographically is ono
Of the most interesting and beautiful results Of
modern laboratory experiment.
In announcing bis discovery to the Paris
Academy NJ. Lippmarn says the conditions
essential to the photography of colOrs are
first, sensitive film showing no grain and,
second, a rejecting surface at the back Of the
film. Albumeu, collodion and gelatine films
sensitized with io6ide or bromide Of silver and
proved by microscopic examination to be free
from grain are placed in hollow dark slide
filled with mercury, which forms n rejecting
layer. The exposure, Development and adjust
irg of the film are done in the ordinary way.
but when completed the colors of the spectrum
are visible.
The explanation is very simple. The incident
light which forms the image in the camera in
terferes with the light reflected by the mercury.
There is consequently formed in the sensitive
film a series Of fringes or inaxima and minima
of luminosity. At the close of the experiment
the maxima are seen to be marked by deposits
Of silver. The thickness Of the film is divided
according to the deposits Of silver into lamine
Of thicknesses equal to the intervals separating
two maxima Of light in the fringes; that is, hall
the wave length Of the incident ray, and it ID
these laminR Of metallic silver which by refiec-
ton so beautifully reproduce the colors Of the
incident light.
This discovery marks . new and brilliant era
in photography, the importance Of which can
not now be easily exaggerated.

ORIGIN OF THE CAMERA.
Invented by an italian and Not Used for
Photographing.

Invented by an italian and Not Used for
Photographing.
The camera was inventedby an italian named
Baptista Porta, though it was not at first used
for photographing, writes W. /. L. Adams, In
the Christian Union. 1t was in reality merely
a dark room. into which the light was admitted
through little round hole in one side. The
rays of light coming from objects outside of
this room entered it through this aperture
and made a picture on the other side of the
room, glowing in all the beauty and color of
nature itself, but rather indistinct and upside
down.
This dark room was contrived by Porta about
the middle of the sixteenth century. He i'm
proved it later by placing glass lens in the
aperture, and outside mirror which received
the rays of light and reflected them through
the lens. so that the image upon the opposite
wall within was made much brighter, more dis
tinct and in natural or erect position. This
was really the first camera-obscura, an inven-
ton which is enjoyed to the present day, being
situated often upon hill top. where pictur-
esque country surrounding may be reflected
through lens, which is placed in the center Of
the conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic camera is
merely small camera-obscura in its simplest
form carrying lens at one end and ground
glass screen at the other. 1t is, however, often
much more complicated in its construction.

How to Be Hungry at Breakfast.

How to Be Hungry at Breakfast.
Breakfast is rather failure as a meal with
town men, says The Hospital. That ought not
to be; there is something wrong when man is
not vigorously hungry in the morning. Where
is the fault? Is it in the late dinner? Not in
the dinner, probably, so much as in what is
drunk at dinner; in that and in the nervous
strain Of the times. 1t does not matter whether
we dine in the middle of the day or in the
evening, 80 long as we dine judiciously. But
the man who has much work to do. and par
ticularly brain work, cannot dine in the middle
of the day. If he does, he must make up his
mind to lose at least an hour of his most alua-
BILE time. A light luncheon at midday, with no
stimulant stronger than cup Of coffee or
bottle of ginger ale, is the suitable thing. But
this must no account be used as substitute for
dinner. He who lunches in this way at mid
day must dine in the evening, and dine well.
The business man should dine at $50, or at
latest 1880. The lazy man may dine when he
likes. The man who has earned his dinner
should have good one-not heavy. but nutri-
tious; not too elaborate, but well selected and
we'll cooked. He should drink, if possible
only one kind Of wine, and that light one
sparkling and still. Spirits and beer he should
avoid. Dinner should be the last meal of the
day, except for those who cannot sleep with
out a little food in their stomachs. These may
take cup Of cocoa, with little thin bread
and butter, just at the moment Of going to
bed. II attention be paid to these suggestions
very few people will fail to be hungry at break
fast,
