TAKEN BY SKYROCKETS.
Novel Method of PbotographIng the Camp
of an Enemy.


An exceedingly interesting English
invention consists of a camera combined
with parachute, especially designed
for obtaining photographs of fortifica-
tons and of the camps of the enemy,
although pictures may also be made for
general surveying purposes The para
chute is snugly folded in thin case at
the end OF a rocket, which is fred to the
required height and burst open by
means of time fuse. The explosion
sets free the parachute, which is pro-
tected from injury by means of a casing
Of asbestos. The par achute has a num-
Der of thin umbrella ribs, and these
are forced outward and kept in that
position by means of strong spiral
spring
From the parachute a camera is sus-
pended, and string held by the opera
tor is attached by universal joint to
the bottom of the device, for the pur-
pose OF pulling the parachute back The
camera is fl tied with an instantaneous
shutter, operated by clock work, so as
to give several exposures at intervals
At the ba ok Of the box is an arrange
ment by which the plates can be
manipulated the same as clockwork A
swinging motion can be given the
camera by the operator, and this will
enable him to OBJ tain successive pictures
over wide area.
The whole arrangement is exceeding
" ingenious. and If it can be employed
practically it marks an important step
in. the science OF m odern warfare. Chi

It also has a great many subscrib-

extensive special service by its
own correspondents at all i'm

bias or misrepresentation. Its
politics do not affect its fidelity to
its readers in printing the news.
While THE INDEPENDENT aims
to print all the news it can get,
it prefers to print only pleasant
news, and private brawls and
scandals are handled with care
when they must be printed, and
all Objectionable features reduced
to a minimum. It is particularly,
therefore, the family paper Of

licits your advertising:
Because it completely covers the
entire State of Montana. Because

HOLDING on 10 OFPiCY.

Mr. Lewis z. Parsons. United States
Attorney for the Northern District OF
Alabama, makes a very uncivil use OF
the Civil-Service law. Mr. Parsons is a
Republican, who was appointed TO his

course, the people OF his part OF the
State do not want him. and never did
want him. because the district IL largely
Democratic. The Administration does
not want him. because Il has politely re-
quested him to retire. and has appointed
his successor. But Mr.. Parsons uncivilly
tells them that he believes he can hold

THr JEROME PyEE PROJECT

The Mayor and Comptroller are very
much opposed 20 the action Of the Aque-
duct Commission In resolving to Ac-
quire Jerome PARK as a site for new
reservoir. Both Sr. Gilroy and Mr.
Myers regard the proposed expenditure
as unnecessary at this time. and unds-
slrable while 70 many expensive public
improvements are being prosecuted.
The contention OF the Aqueduct Com
rnIssioners II that the new reservoir
vlIl one day be needed. and that II is
more advisable 70 acquire the land now.
when the cos, will be moderate. than
20 postpone the purchase until the price
is raised BY spectators.
The question Of the purchase was re-
f,rred to the Mayor. Comptroller and
Corporation Counsel by the Aqueduct
Commission as long ago as ls:s. Those
officers, regarding the acquisition az pre-
mature. have not yet reached a decision.
II iF nell by some that the matter, be-
ing officially In their hands. cannot be
taken away from them without their
knowledge or consent. 1t II sug-
gested by those who are opposed 10
spending the money at this time un-
necessarily. that the question shall b.
be taken 10 the courts. and thus delayed
until the next Legislature can be ap-
the :ity.
1t certainly seems proper that in 50
