PHOTOGRAPHY IN CoLoRS.

a Frenchmnn SusEeAtS q Simple Process
Tho Latest Wonder.
The fixing in the camera of the nat
ural colors of picture has always been
the philosophers stone Of the photog-
rapher, and ever and anon the state
mcnt is given ont that this much-dc-
sired goal has been attained, to be
quickly followed by description which
goes to show how far from its promise
the actual result of the supposed discov-
cry really is. NJ. Lippmann has, how
ever, now put before the French Acad-
cmy of Sciences n plan which, if the
statements made concerning it arc sub
Stimulated, will constitutc n distinct
step toward the solution of the problem
OF photoSraphing objects in their nat
ural colors.
The suggested process is very simple,
and involves the use Of the ordinary re-
agents. The sensitive film, during OK
posurc, IS 1loatcd Oh the surface of NOR
curry. Suppose, for instance, q ray of
blue light strikes the sensitive film, it
will pass through and, being reflected
from the surface of the mercury behind,
will pass out through the film aga.l in
tcrfcring on its way with the incident
ray. When the two rays are in the
same phase their effects will be addi-
tive, and the sensitive matter in the
film will be strongly acted on. At q
snail distance farther on the two rays
will ncutralizc each other so that the
film is there totally Enacted on. In this
way the thickness of the film is divided
uo into layers, on which the light has
acted half wavc-lcngth apart, and
hence when fixed and dried it may be
considered as consisting of number of
tim plates Of half the wave-lcngth of
blue light in thickness, and will, there
fore, give rise to blue color when seen
BY reflected light, just Us the thickness
of a soap bubble gives rise to the colors
seen in it.
Owing to the fact that the thickness
OF an ordinary film is many times the
wavc-lcngth Of 4 ray Of light the colors
obtained arc said to be remarkably bril-
limit They arc, moreover, perfectly
fixed, and the prints have been exposed
both to q powerful electric arc light
and to bright daylight without any
signs of fading 1t is also found that if
the prints are viewed By transmitted in
place of reelected light each color is re-
placed by its mplemcntary one.

The Missouri River.

The dust blows out of the Missouri
river. 1t is the only river in tle
world where the dust blows in great
columns out Of the river bed. The
catfish come up to the surface TO
Bneeze. From the great wide-stretch-
ing sand bars on the Kansas shore,
great columns Of dust and sand about
two thousand feet high, como whirl-
ing and sweeping across the river and
hide the town, and sweep through the
train and make everybody 30 dry and
gritty that q man can light match
on the roof Of his mouth. The Mis-
souri, river is composed Of six parts OF
sard and mud, and four parts Of
water. When the Wild blows very
hard it dries the surface of the river
and blows it away in clouds Of, dust.
It is just dreadful. The natural
color OF the river is seal brown, but
when it rains for two or three Gays at
q time, and gets the river pretty wet,
it changes to heavy iron gray. A
long rain will make the river SO thin
that it can easily be poured from one
vessel to another, like cocktail,
when it is ordinarily dry, however, it
has TO be stirred with a stick before
you can pour it out of anything

Water Works Wall.

We herewith place before our readers the

work done by M. Walker at the water works
reservoir and well. Public sentiment seems
to be with Aid. Lanfrom in his endeaxor
to have the well thoroughly Tested before it
is accepted and paid for. The Council
should insist on the contract being lived up
to strictly. Pay only for what is right-if
anything has been left out that the contract
calls for deduct it in settlement. The re-
port Is as follows:
TO the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of OwOsso:
Your committee to whom was referred
the investigation of the water works reser-
vOir would respectfully submit q minority
report as member of said committee hav-
ing been unable to be present at said COM
mittee meeting and hence unable to render
a report before. l would say that haye
taken special pains to examine ut various
times said well while under construction.
and since my return home l have made
further investigation and foundoyesterday
morning that said reservoir has quite a
leakage under the timber running across
said cisten on the northwest corner; have
called the attention of Supt Waters to said
Leak, and in the opinion of your minority
committee poisonous water Oozes through
said crevice, which communicates the water
in the cisten. | am further informed by
good authority from parties that claim to
know by observation, that said well also
leaks i'm other places. Your minority COM
mittee would therefore recommend that no
money whatsoever be paid to Mr.. Walker
until said well is substantially water tight
as per contract, and whenever said reservoir
is ready for acceptance it shall be pumped
dry and be left standing i'm said condition
for at least three days and three nights, in
order to obtain proper investigation salts

Low Test Kerosene.


Among the several ways in which the last
State Legislature distinguished itself was
the passage of bill reducing the test of
kerosene, and abolishing the method of test
ingby the closed cup, which, as oil is burn-
ed in lamps which cOnline the vapOr and
not in open vessels, is really the only way
to secure safe article. The numerous
casualties which have occurred in the
state since the test was reduced have Occa-
stoned much comment and not a little ankle
ty on the part of consumers and also in
surance companies, to whom the matter is
of considerable financial interest. The
State Association of Underwriters met at
Lansing last Monday and went out to Il g
Agricultural College, where, at the request
of the Association, Dr. KedZe gave lee
ture on oil and tested a number of supplies
of both high and low test oil, by both the
Taylibue open cup and the closed cup.
With the closed cup the oil flashed at 100
and burned at ITO degrees with the open
cup it flashed at ITO degrees. He then test
ed, according to the method now employed
by the oil inspectors, with the open cup.
This consisted of passing q lighted taber
at distance of several inches above the
heated oil, and the oil burned at 100 de-
grees When the burning taper was
plunged into the oil, which DR.. Kedzie in
sisted was the only proper way to make the
burning test, the oil took fire at 100 degrees.
He also demonstrated that the vapOr was
heavier than the air. Instead of rising to
the point at which the lighted taper was
held, a greater portion escaped over the
edge of the cup and fell away from the
flame. Even the breath of the inspector as
he leans over the cup, tends to drive the
vapor from the flame held to ignite it, max
ing the conditions unfavorable to fair test.
During the lecture a lamp filled with high
test oil stood on DR.. Kedzie's desk. 1t had
burned nearly an hour when, suddenly
blowing it out and unscrewing the burner,
he plunged lighted taper into the oil. 1t
was instantly extinguished, although the
Oil had become well heated. Being re-
quested to make the same test with the low
test oil, he respectfully but emphatically de-
clined. The experiments and deductions of
the lecturer were so clear and convincing
that the members of the Association were
thoroughly convinced that the low test oil
is dangerous, giving off as it does an in
flammable vapor when heated to 95 degrees.
The State Board of Health has also con-
demned the new test oil as dangerously ex-
cannot be too careful i'm buying and using
oil, and should insist OH having high test
wherever it can be obtained The low test
was to cheaper oil and effect the saving of
$500, 900 annually to the people of the state.
AS matter of fact in many localities high
test and low test are selling in quantity at
the same figure, and even slight differ
ence in the cost should not be allowed to
weigh for one moment with the question of
safety to life and property. DR.. Kedzie's
experiments will help make it an easy mat
ter to repeal this bill when the next Legis-
lature meets.
