peak within hundred miles. ever grim and
bare under summers sun or winters storm.
The writer has solicited many opinions
as to the merits of Mount St Helena as
scenery. and the inyariable comment has
been that it is too dismal and commonplace.
Granting such to be the natural opinion of
casual critics, none the less is Mount ST.
Helena a significantly fashioned pile, and
thereby hangs the tale of its naming, which
runs something like this: Very many years
before California had an Admission day to
celebrate Roman Catholic clergyman with
some Indian followers entered what is now
known as Santa Rosa Valley on an expedi-
ton of exploration.
The missionary observed the peculiar out
lines of the four conspicuous peaks and
their vertically slanting sides, and declared
that they formed a wonderfully correct
semblance of the stone effigy of st. Helena
on fer bier at Rome. Thus the name of st.
Helena became attached to this mountain,
so like, in its gigantic proportions, to a
human corpse on its bier and covered with
the pail. Viewed from the western and
south western sides of the mountain, its
peculiar aspect is perfectly presented in
outline and detail
The smaller, most northerly and highest
peak represents the head, lying little side
ways. The second rise is nodded like a
female bust and waist. The third correctly
indicates the folded hands. resting against
the updrawn knees, so naturally portrayed
by the fourth peak, rounding at the top and
sloping in good proportion down to the base.
where one can easily discern the semblance
OF draped feet resting sole downward.
Then with startling distinctness every
feature of the pail is disposed over the
fgure-its fall over the head and shoulders !;
its deep folds on the pillow its heavy creases
at neck and waist; its rounding repose on
bust and knees, and loose folding in with and
fall away from the placid hands, are repro
duced plainly and clearly with perfect
naturalness.
The picture which Mount St. Helena pre-
sents in its extraordinary likeness to figure
OF death must be viewed and studied intel
ligently TO be fully recognized and appre-
ciated. No mere picture of pen or pencil
can more than suggest its weird appear
ance, the significance once seen and realized
would remain an everlasting memory. St.
Helena would never again seem common

ever to sensitive, idealistic Imagination.

corpse, that its continual prospect is bette

paper, juggling with his own head and
photographing himself. To get a suitable
background, in order that the bust may be
degraded on the black, has been the diff
Guilty. The writer of the PAPER, however,
made the discovery that the nights dark

flash-light admitted of the making of any
exposure in front of it.
When a door is used, the model is placed

hind the sitter gives the desired black back
ground. To get the degraded blacks that
bring out light clothing it will suffice, the
writer says, after making the exposure as
Indicated, to operate according to the classic
method, by putting into the camera shut
ter which will contain an aperture which
allows of the passage of only that part of
the image that it is desired shall reach the
plate.
"Does tie operation seem to be somewhat
tedious and delicate?" he asks. 'or does the
regulation seem tedious by the light of
candles? Here is how it will always be
possible and easy to operate. Take some
sort of dark fabric and throwing it over
the back Of two chairs, a slight distance
apart. in front OF the sitter, regulate the
curvature of the falling fobin such a manner
as to conceal the sitter up to the shoulders

Then flash the light in front of this screen
in such way that the face seen from the
apparatus, receiving no direct ray, shall re-

A SILVER MINE STORY.
How The Caribou Was First Located and
Sold.

The recent strike OF three-inch vein Of
native silver in the mines at Caribou re-
calls an old story of the discovery of the
mines, as told by Sam Cushman, an old
time resident of Gilpln County, and at one
time Superintendent of the Caribou prop
erty. Some twenty-five years ago there
lived at Black Hawk prospector who never
seemed capable Of getting ahead in the
world. He prospected on grub stakes" in
the summer, sawed wood and did chores in
the winter, but at all times was happy 60

aged to scrape money enough together
aud started for Cheyenne. Arriving there,
he wandered down to the depot, and not
having seen an engine or railroad for
many years he was greatly interested in the
movements of trains In the yard. At last
something particular attracted his atten-
ton. He climbed on the car and critically
examined its contents, putting q specimen
or two in his pocket.
''Stop that" yelled brakeman.
"Why, it's not good for much, is ftp" re-
piled the ast0nished prospect0r.
THAT'S Nevada ore, and it's worth $1,000

We'll, I know where there are tons of
it," replied the Coloradoan, as he jumped
from the train and started for the leading
corral to engage passage with the next OK
train for the mountains. Quitting himself
he started for the Bowlder Mountain and
located the Caribou lode. The truth was he
had often walked over the float that iDdi-
Gated the mine, but never supposed that it
was good for anything until he learned its
value In the manner related. The pros
peetor disposed of his claim for song, but

he reached the base when the top Of the
hemlock was shattered by lightning stroke
that brought half of the trunk to the ground
and rove the butt in twain to the very roots.
After escaping injury from the lightning
and the fall of the tree young Autenrelth
spied what he thought to be huge log,
hollow and large enough TO crawl into and
to shelter him from the rain.
He crawled into the hole in the log, mean
while congratulating himself upon his es-
cape and gaining shelter from the rain,
when suddenly he heard terrible scratch
ing and snarling further up in the log. Be-
fore lie could get out he felt a hairy paw
touch his face and reach over his shoulder.
Hustling and scratching, he succeeded IN
getting out of the log, leaving part of his
clothing in the claws of the bear. He only
ran few steps when he stumbled and fell.
AS he fell he saw bear come tumbling out
OF the log, turn tail and make tracks into
the woods. When he reached home and
told his story he discovered that he had left
his fish basket and rod on the scene of his
adventures. His friends doubted his story

spot the next day for his rod and basket

The new cruiser, No. 9, now building here

Of the value Of the imported material used

One of the Old-fashioned outings of a
large company of amateur photographers
has been arranged for Saturday, October
Sd, and the following Sunday. 1t has been
long time since any of these camerlc eN-
curSiOns, on Il large scale, have taken place.
They are considered excellent, not alone for
their social benefits in getting the amateurs
together and giving them an opportunity OF
comparing their work, but because the
younger members OF the party have chance
to pick UP many useful hints from those
who have had more experience in picture
taking. Four clubs are tn join in the Octo-
Der outing: The Newark Camera Club. the
Brooklyn Academy of Photography. the
HOboken Camera Club, and the Society of
Amateur Photographers OF this city.
The trip will be made to New Milford.
Pa, via the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad, the train leaving jersey
City at O'Clock Saturday afternoon and
returning on Sunday afternoon at O'clock.
Special ears Will be provided Tor the Gamer
lists. and the entire expense, including rail-
road ticket stage ride and hotel expense,
Will be only Sc apiece. From the number
of applications that have already been made
for tickets, the trip will undoubtedly be a
grand success, while the number of pic
lures taken will be almost countless. Fine
weather is all that those who will go will
ask for. They will do the rest. The seen
cry near New Milfordis full of Photographic
beauty, and for landscapes cannot be well
improved upon.
The Society of Amateur Photographers
will give a smoking concert on Saturday
evening, September 10Th, at the rooms of
the society. There will be lantern slides,
Iecitations and songs The smoking con-
certs were very successful feature of the
soc ety's entertainments last year and were
invariably well attended.
At the regular meeting of the society on
Tuesday evening. September Sth, paper
will be read by President James A. Steb-
bins, and Miss Catherine Weed Barnes will
tell of the Buffalo convention and its lessons.
New apparatus will be shown.
The members Of the society are working
like beavers for the coming exhibition at the
American Institute Fair. and there will be
a large collection ready for the event. A
new Hetherington magazine camera has
been added to the list of prizes.

SOLOMON'S TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM
its Restoration Conceived by Two Great French Architects The Origin the Chubn and
Other Ornaments

1t may be truly said that no edifice of the
ancient world has so extensive literature
regarding 1T as the Temple at Jerusalem.
For more than 200 years critics and arch
biologists have been putting forth various
theories for its reconstruction. This extern
sive charat ter of the literature, and the
varied nature of the attempted reservations,
often most incongruous with all canons of
Oriental art, is due in no small degree TO
the confused and. indeed. in some cases,
almost contradictory style of the deserip-
tons of the editie IN the Hebrew writings.
The artist WHO would wish to restore the
interior of the first Jerusalem Temple has
now much material to avail himself of, and
the latest and in many rtsrects most ac-
curate restoration is that of which we pub
lish an illustration, the work of that able
architect and draughtsman. M. ChipeZ.

such important features in the Temple

usually, as in this reconstruction, repre-

they are scorpion men, winged bulls, eagle

phons. as seen on the sculptures in the
