Submarine Photography.

A short time ago Mr.. Louis Bouton
brought himself to the knowledge Of
scientific naturalists by undertaking an
exploring tour of the Red sea, from
which he brought back strange and
curious collection of fish and shells, en-
bracing several specimens entirely un-
known. Continuing his researches on
the coast of France, Mr.. Bouton as
sumed divers costume in order to OBJ
serve at the bottom of the sea the meta
morphoses of certain mollusks impossi-
BILE to cultivate in aquaria. He was
struck with the wonderful beauty of
submarine landscapes and resolved to
photograph what he could, since sim
pie description would SAVIOR too much of
an overvivid imagination.
At first he worked in shallow water
with watertight apparatus, and the
clearness of the water allowed him suf-
ficient light to sensitize the plates. But
proportionally as the water deepened
clearness diminished, and the motion of
the waves clouded his proofs. Then the
young scientist conceived the idea of
utilizing magnesium in an apparatus of
his own invention. This apparatus con-
sists essentially in a barrel filed with
oxygen and suranounted by glass bell
containing an alcohol lamp.
On the flame of the lamp, by means Of
a mechanical contrivance, powdered
magnesium is thrown, faring as often as
a view is taken. The barrel is pierced
with holes on the lower side in such a
manner that as the oxygen diminishes
the sea water enters, so preserving the
equilibrium between external and in
ternal pressure. BY the aid Of this ma
chine he has already made great progress
in q direction new to naturalists and
one likely to confer permanent benefits
in the results obtained by their science.

Historic Houses of Washington.

To most visitors Washington is only
the seat of government, and interesting
merely because of the department build
ings, the White House and the capitol.
Having seen these, with the National
museum and the Smithsonian institu-
ton, tourists go away content. They
do not pause to think that nearly all the
great men Of the nation have at one time
or another had homes at the capitol, and
have here done very large share of the
work that has made them famous.
Yet so true is this that no other city
on this continent is so rich in historical
associations, and these associations are
in the homes Of the capital. They clus-
ter around houses that have sheltered
the makers Of the republic and are in
volved with those personal incidents
that are the most fascinating part Of
history. Some of these spots are remote
from the portions of the city now fire.
quented by visitors.
Georgetown, which fourished before
Washington was laid out even on paper,
and whose older inhabitants still look
down on all the region east of Rock
creek with placid scorn, has q large
number of fine old buildings, several. of
them richly stored with relics of the
Revolutionary period.
Capitol hill, at the other extremity of
the city, is justly proud of the fact that
General Washington designed it to be
the ste of the great metropolis that
should bear his pane; that the capitol
faces eastward; tkat every president at
his inauguration takes the oath of office
looking toward the dignifed old part of
the city and not toward the pretentious
new part, of which Capitol hill feels an
i'll disguised Jealousy.

Bicycle Laws In Zurich.

A correspondent at Zurich, Switzer-
land, gives translation from the daily
paper of the city's laws concerning BIZ
cycling. Bicycling is only allowed upon
written permission issued to competent
riders. This permission must be carried
by the rider. y contains his name, oc-
cupation, date of birth, place of nativity
and address, and it costs francs a year.
Racing is forbidden, and ins narrow
streets the rider must dismount. Spe-
cial stress is laid upon the speed of the
machine.
On crowded streets, turning corners,
the rider must go slow. He must not
ride without using the handles of his
machine to steer by. He must ring his
bell in ample time, and if that is not
needed he must politely warn the pedes-
titan. Care must be taken not to worry
or frighten the foot passenger. On sin
gle seated bicycle not more than one per.
son may sit. More than two bicycles are
not permitted to ride abreast. On holi.
days, when the streets are crowded, BIZ
cycling is not permitted at all.
On the other hand, the bicycle shares
with other vehicles the privileges of the
road. Should the rider be the cause Of
an accident to pedestrian he must dis
mount, render what assistance lies in
his power and give his name and address
to an officer, together with written re-
port of the sr.-Chicago Journal

Window Screens.

A transparency at a kitchen window
attracted my notice the other day by its
novelty. ~ made it," said the owner,
''because could not get a transparency
at the village store. ! wanted one Of
those screens, you know, that permit you
to see out. but do not let outsiders see in.
| took an old frame for wire screen,
painted it to match the outside painting
of the house and then tackled it to piece
of organdie, fitting it perfectly and
stretching it very tight. From thin
chintz l cut flowers and sprays, and ar
ranging the design in my mind proceed
ed to paste them on. After all were on
laid piece of pasteboard behind and
put on heavy weights until they were
dry. I then gave the whole coat Of
white varnish."

there would be more than sufficient to
fully supply the other bitches.
The owners OF the Ketchum ditch,
however, were to be free to appropriate
and divert the full amount that their
enlarged ditch was capable of carrying,
giving them a better and greater right
than all the others to the waters OF the
river.
Later a permanent injunction was
secured against the HYDE and Manning
u McLerie bitches, but an appeal made
to the supreme court resulted in revers-
ing the judgment OF the lower court.
After the reversal the several compR-
and as a result the Settlers Ditch COM
papy assigned all its water rights to the
Tulare irrigation district, and the Lake
side Ditch company should thereupon
prosecute its action against the Hyde
ditch. which action in reality would be
for the benefit OF the Tulare irrigation
district and the Tulare Irrigation com
pany. In the furtherance of the scheme
to secure permanent injunction against
the complainant they have arranged to
have the case tried in the supreme
court.
The complaint wants the United States
court to decide who are entitled to the
privilege of diverting and using the
waters OF st. Johns river, and pending
that decision an injunction is desired to
prevent the respondents from conduct.
ing any actions in the state courts rela.
tive to the disputed claimH.
Judge Ross, after listening to the
arguments OF Attorney Hiehton, de
clined to grant the temporary injunc.
tion, and the complainant will be com.
pelled to make answer to the petitions
for Injunction that have been filed in
the state courts. The relief he seeks
can now only come after full hearing
of the cause before Judge Ross.

A Comparison.

. EDITORS HERALD: The government
pays bounty to get rid of the coyotes
and at the same time encourages the
presence of the Chinese, a much worse
pest.
The coyote does as much for the bene-
fit of the community as does the China
man. He builds as many houses, he
plants as many trees, he makes as many
roads, he supports as many schools, he
attends as many churches, he observes
the laws of the country as we'll, except
for the vice of stealing chicken now
end then, for which alone the poor little
coyote has bounty set upon his head.
When the coyote steals chicken he
consumes it in this county. But what
the Chinaman gets he takes away to his
own country and leaves only desolation
behind
The Chinaman uses the roads, which
cost labor and money, and he wears
them out, the coyote does not. The
Chinaman occupies the land and prevents
its settlement by citizens, the coyote
does not. The love of the coyote for
this country and our institutions, is as
warm as that of the Chinaman. They
are both enemies and price is set upon
the head of one, and our hearts upon
the other. Neither spends a cent here
or makes the slightest effort to improve
this country.
AS between the coyote and the China
man the latter is by far the greater pest.
