PHOTOGRAPHY.
\ New Discovery by which Positive
Image May be Produced

A curious discovery in photography IS
that. wien an eikonogen is used as a de,
veloping agent, a positive instead of a
negative image may be produced on the
plate after exposure in the camera. The
process depends upon the addition to the
developing bath Of substance known as
allyl THO carbamide, made from od of
mustard. Although the process has not
as vet been perfected for practical use, it is
of the highest interest, and will doubtless
prove of great value to professional as we'll
as amateur photographers.

HATS OFF.
The Presence or Absence of the Hat simply
COnyentionallty.

One Of the simplest instincts of good
would seem to be that a man
should uncover his head while eating his
dinner with his family; yet it is pretty GER
tain that toe first gentlemen of England
two centuries ago habituaIIy wore their
hats during that ceremony nor Is it known
Just when or why the practice wa changed.
In Pepys' famous Diary. which Is the best
manual of manners for its period, we read
under date of September D. 1864: Home
to bed, having got strange cold in my
bead by hnging off my hat at dinner, and
sitting with the wind in my neck. In
Lord Clarenjon's essay on the decay of
respect paid to age be says that in his
yornger DAYS he never kept his hat on be-
,ore those older than himself except at din
ner. Lord Clarendon died in 1874 That
the English members of parliament sit
with their hats on during the sessions IS
we'll known, and the same practice prevail
ed at the early town meetings in New Eng
laud. The presence or absence Of the hat
is therefore simply conventonality. and
so it is with a thousand practices which
are held, so long as they exist, to be the
most unehaugeable and matter-of-course
affairs. I. w H. in Harper's Bazaar

A CONSIDERABLE saving in repairing
saws is to be credited to the new process
of electric Welding. 1t was formerly
necessary to cut down TO n smaller size any
saw from which tooth had been broken,
but it is now only necessary to fit in a
new tooth and secure it ia place by electric
welding. A drop of oil restores tho tenn
per. The JOINT in continuous oand saw is
also made 10y this process.

article to a leading medical journal,

MANY times while cropping in the SEEM
ing impenetrable darkness surrounding
the pathology and treatment of chronic
diseases. have | seen a welcome ray of
light by an Interchange of thought with
my esteemed colleague, DIR. Ham. 1t
is much due to his logical reasoning
that the long list of destructive narcotic,
cathartic, diuretic, and stimulating
medicines which were once my only
refuge. have become obscure in the dust
of disuse. 1t has also caused me to
learn that an observation he once made
is true, which was to the effect that this
class Of drugs and the development of
abnormal passions and appetites was
the cause of ninety per cent of all
chronic diseases. DR. Ham has gained
well earned eminence as a specialist
and his consenting TO place his skill
within the reach Of the large army of
sufferers from chronic diseases in one
community is commendabe. The
Doctor as announced by his large adj
vertisement in this issue of our paper,
will be at the Wright House, Lancaster,
