"a third maiden wedged herself out of a
pocket, as racehorse man might say, in

Poor Rosa proved to be chubby bit of
femininity, scarcely I6, with the healthy
glow of youth heightened on her cheeks by
the attention that was being called to her.
This occurred at 600 Taylor street. corner

Of the SEMINARY Alarmed"
When the storm was at its height at 9 80
in the morning, the wind carried away the
weather boarding on the top and rear OF
the frame house. The planks flew 10 every

houses, and incidentally smashing in few
windows. sll OF which went 10 make the

Twenty feet of boarding by fifteen feet in

over On the heads OF the frightened people
in the neighborhood.
'Reor Rosa" as one of her friends called
her, was less paralyzed by fear than were
her fellow workers, and she took to her
heels quickest, She was the first of twenty
odd girls TO get out the back way, only to
find herself In the midst of a shower of
falling debris. Her escape from serious
harm was simply miraculous.

The steepie on the Central Methodist
Episcopal Church very nearly succumbed to
the wind yesterday. All morning quite a
crowd of people congregated within a safe
distance from the church, expecting the
steeple to fall every minute. After the

and In each are seven little OFFICES. When
the frame Is filled with gas through rubber
tube connecting with a gas Jet or with
gasoiine from little portable arrangement
a tiny flame may be burned at each OF tho
thirty-fve orifces.
Along each cross tube runs little bar Of
wire which holds a series OF little cups.
These cups all work together, and when
they are set each one rests horizontally Just
back OF one OF the little flames. There is
device over the cups to spread the powder
when 1t IS thrown. The pressure of a
rubber bulb at one end of a rubber tube
releases spring and instantly all the cups
are fiipped over toward the Jets casting a
few grains of magnesium and potash into
each flame.
The result is an instantaneous sheet Of
white flame covering about thirty-six square
feet. The light is greatly diffused and
refiectors may be used to advantage as
with sunlight.
second is needed and the same rubber bulb
that releases the cups snaps the camera
shutter. Pictures taken by this adaptation
OF the hashiight reveal clearly the details
OF corners that with the brightest sunlight
would appear buried In shadow, and In
large photographs the results have sur
passed in some respects the best work that
has been done with sunlight. Every hair
becomes sharply clear aud the texture of
clothing is shown with wonderful fidelity.
The sheen OF satin and the gloss Of silks
are perfectly reproduced. The color values
are better than In sunlight.
One large gallery is already arranging to

is ready the little cups will click together

The device Is made so that 1t can be taken
apart or set up in one or two minutes, and
when folded up it makes light little bundle
i've feet long that can be carried anywhere
in one hand.
1t will undoubtedly result in several ex-
tensions OF the regular practice Of photog-
raphy that will amount to innovations. The
professional photographer may now take
his camera and his fashlight to private
homes and photograph fellow as he sits by
his coy fireplace or take whole family as
