Coiorcd Photographs From Nature.

The possibility of photographing colors
directly from nature seems to be mt last
proved. The theory of the process belongs
to NJ. Lipmann and its practical application
to NJ. Louis Lumcre of Lyons. BY means
Of his special preparations, the secret of
which has not transpired, NJ. Lumiere is
enabled after an exposure of about half an
hour to obtain faultlcss Photographic re-
production of colors. Among the things
thus automatically photographed were
boxes of matches, japanese screens, stuffs,
nosegays-nny, even landscapes from ma
ture, looking for all the world like very
clever studies in water colors, the dull gray
of the houses, the brown of the soil, the va
rious shades of green of the grass, fruit and
foliage, the deep blue of the sky and the
light, laughing blue that peeps surrepti-
tiously through riffs in the neecy clouds
all colors. hues and tints were there

Plate Glass Bricks.

These are made from the sand used in
glassmaking and heretofore considered
worthless after having served that purpose.
A popularity of these plate glass bricks,
which are perfectly white, is that they with
stand frost and are not attacked by acids.
They will also resist crushing force of
from 500 to nearly 1000 pounds on 0.155
square inch. They are stated to be much
superior to others not only in point of d,l-
rability, but in appearance.

is surmounted by cap, so placed as 10

The frame work of the tower is of OAK

OThe structure is simple and inexpensive,
and at the same time of sufficient strength

and Oattened at each joint. The turreG
and cap is of quarter inch steel, rlyeted
in place similar to a steam boiler. Inc
turret room is seventeen feet in diameter
and seven and a half feet in height from
floor to caves.
The structure is considered admirably
suited for the purpose for which it IS m
tended, viz An assault by rioters, ana q
small body of men, amply proylsloneu,
would be enabled to stand siege ana

enough to allow achievements to arrive

very simple in it's character is possessed
of great strength.

DISAPPEARED WHEN NOT WATCHED.


"On the last night was there the
stones were dropping from the ceiling as
usual. One thing which l have not men
toned was that these stones and things
would stay on the floor as long as one
watched them, but, turn your head, and
they disappeared. When you would turn
your head to look when ono fell, those
which you had been watching would dis
appear This night we picked up and
marked several Of the stones. Half an
hour later these same stones were drop
ping from the ceiling of the garrett
Several Of them had been marked again
on the opposite sides with
marks similar to those we had put up
on them. While we were on the first
floor, discussing the strange manifesto
tions, | remarked, as the stones were
dropping: The stones seem to fall from
about the height of mans hand when
hanging by his side suiting the action 10
the words and letting d stone drop from
that position. Instantly another stone
dropped upon the floor over our heads.
The noises made by the stone l dropped
and the one dropped above were almost
identical | then said, We can drop them
from "a greater height than that drop
ping one from above my head Instantly
there came thump on the floor above.
We went up and found the two stones

they having heen marked.
NO LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY.
1.-THE demonstrations were kept up al
most uninterruptedly during the three
nights was there, and there was no eff
fort spared to find the cause of them.
Nothing was discovered, however, which
would throw the slightest light upon the
mystery. There is no possibility of the
sounds and movements of the objects be-
ing produced by mechanical means, for
looked into every nook and corner of the
mill, even going to the cellar and out
about the covered water wheel. But ev-
cry part of the building is affected, for
even in the cellar an old wooden pinion
which had not been in use for several
years started to turn one day last week
and the combined strength of Miller New
man and his assistant could not stop it or
throw it from the upright position it had
assumed.
Il do not believe in spirits, separate
and distinct from the body, but there is
strong evidence in favor of the spirit
ualistic contention in the things [ saw in
this mill in the three nights and days l
spent there"
