New Use for Photography.

From the indianapolis Journal.
Photography played an import
ant part in a suit at Cincinnati.
The suit is one of local standing,
involving the title to 1900 acres of
valuable farm lands. 1t is based
on a deed made nearly Is years ago
by the owners of the land, and
turns on the point whether the
deed had five signatures or only
four. In order to test this question
it was decided to have the deed
photographed, and the clerk
of the court was ordered to
give the matter his personal super
vision. For that purpose it was
taken to Washington and SUBMIT
ed to a photographer of that
city. The original deed, discolOred
and yellow with age, showed traces
of four signatures and a space
where there might have been a
fifth, but no trace of it. The pho
tographing was done in the pres
ence of the clerk of the court, who
refused to let the deed go out of his
sight. The negative revealed traces
of the missing signature, and when
it was enlarged ten times the en-
tire name became as plain as when
first written. The court pro-
nounced the evidence conclusive,
and the result will be the reversal
of a former decision and change
in the ownership of the land.

Police Officers Kick.

The members of the San Antonio
police force, with but few eXcep-
tiOns, are DESTROYS of a change of
hours for their work. As it is the
day relief is on duty from s a. m.
to S D. m. and are relieved by the
night men, who are on duty until
s o'clock in the morning, and many
who have cases in the Recorders
court are sometimes kept at the
station until 10 and | | o'clock and
seldom get to sleep before noon. If
a change were made from II to II
o'clock it would accommodate the
boys and they would be more fit
for hard duty. In case a man is
wanted in court who is on the af-
ternoOn relief, he would have an
opportunity to get at least eight
hours sleep before court convened.
The LIGHT suggests this to the
captain for the boys, who feel a
delicacy in making mention of the
matter.

Romeo and Juliet in Japan.

A contributor to the Chicago Re
cord recently met a Portuguese gen.
tleman in Oklahoma, who related
his experience in marriage with a
japanese girl. 1t was 30 years ago,
when, under the Japanese law,
native girl who married foreigner
was to be instantly beheaded. The
Portuguese and a pretty japanese
girl fell in love. The parents Of
the former warned her of her dan
ger, but when her lover said to her:
"If you agree to marry me |
will die with yOu," she answered:
~ will marry you, die or
live" He was a Catholic, and he
had promised his parents not to
marry out of his religion. "Join
anything; we die together"
answered the heroic girl. They
eloped and sought the nearest
priest. He told them that she
could not be baptized, confirmed
and married the same day, but on
their entreaty he waived a few
customary rules and performed all
three ceremonies at once. Then
the holy man sought the Mikado
and interceded for the lives of the
daring couple. The Mikado decid-
ed that he could not behead the
husband as he was Portuguese,
but that the bride must die. But
the priest warned him that the
