SNAP SHOTS,

NJ. Damoiseau has invented camera TO
take panoramic views. 1t is made to turn
on its axis so truly that the picture of the
entire strip Of sensitive paper is said to be
perfectly clear in its details.
A prominent photographer expresses the
opinion that the gallery of the future will
contain no skylight. A light room, with
the north wall entirely of glass and a roof
open to the sky, will produce the best re-
suits.
Another new Photographic developer has
appeared which is described as having CO.
caine for basis. 1t is known as cristal-
los, and it is said to be the most powerful
of agents, being three times the strength
of pyro.
1t is said that Photographic developer
made with water which has been freshly
boiled will keep much longer than that
made of distilled water, and Photographic
prints soaked in such water before toning
are free from blisters.
DR.. Anderson has given 40 acres of land
for the site of an art institute near the Nat
u-al bridge Virginia. A Photographic de-
partment will be one of the features of the
institution, and the art will be taught in
all its principal branches. Mrs. Jeanette
NJ. Appleton will have charge of the de-
par.ment.
NJ Maray has succeeded in photograph
ing the movements of an animal under
water, taking proofs at the rate of fifty in
a second, with exposures from 1900 TO
1900 of second. A set of twelve photo
graphs gives all the phases Of the undula-
tons which the medusa impresses upon its
umbrella of locomotor apparatus.

RAINS OF BLOOD.

Showers of blood, though recorded in the
olden time, are now rare at this day.
In the year 1922 a shower consisting of
blood and dust fell over quite large por-
ton of Italy.
In 1876 quantities Of snow fell in Syria,
and when the rays OF the sun melted it it
turned into gore.
In the year 1851 Burgundy was startled
by the appearance of a shower which came
down in drops of blood
Between the years 31o A D. and ITO
fourteen different showers Of blood and
other substances mixed fell in Italy.
In the year 1850 Devonshi.e, in England,

RAILWAY S,UMot .n8.

There are in the United States 200, so %
miles of railroad track of all descriptions.
Vice President North, of the Long Island
road, has issued an order prohibiting card
playing in the drawing room cars on that
| road.
| 1t is said that the German government
| will introduce some of the American style
cars on its roads in time for next seasons
| tourist travel.
| Under the supervision of some lawyers
An agitation is being started against the
| Manhattan Elevated Railroad company in
| New York to require it to give all passen-
gers seats.
A project is on foot at Chicago to con-
meet Georgian bay with Lake Ontario by
ship railway. The cost OF the work is es-
timated at s12,OOO0Oo. 1t would save 400
miles between Chicago and Liverpool and
give direct water communication.
A recent ST. Petersburg special says that
dispatches just received from China state
that the whole length of the railway
through Manchuria has been surveyed, and
that English engineers are busy on the
line, which is to be built with English
money.
There are Y NJ c. A. railroad societies
in ninety-eight different cities in the
United States and Canada, with 112 secre-
taries. The total membership of the ninety
eight branches is 20,9S2. Over $3.50, 600 is
spent each year in maintaining those diff
ferent organizations.
Mr.. Jay Gould has lucky penwiper 1t
was made by his own daughter when she
was three years old. The legend runs that
just before the great strike on the Missouri
Pacific road the penwiper disappeared mys-
teriously and just after its settlement it
reappeared as mysteriously, its owner hav-
ing parted with 81, OOO, 900 in the interval
The Boston News bureau says that a
scheme is now afoot, engineered by New
York and Boston parties to effect a more
economic working of the railroad rolling
stock of the country. 1t is said to be a
natural outgrowth of the car clearing house
system, and its conception is credited to
well known former general freight agent
of the Erie fast freight line.
The Big Four management is strictly en-
forcing the rule that no person shall be al
lowed to ride on the foot boards of their en-
gineS except the engineer and firemen,
without permission from the division SUI
perintendent. One of the most serious &C
cidents which ever occurred on the Big
Four was caused by the engineer being so
busy chatting with person on the foot
board that he failed to see an obstruction
on the track.

The attention OF the new city council is
respectfully directed to the fact that it is
not metropolitan to permit teams to be
tied along the sidewalk, nor is it con-
venient for those who desire and have a
right TO the use Of the street. Yesterday
there was continuous line of vehicles
strung along the curbs on both sides of
Main street for blocks. which rendered it
