The Portland Oregonian says that TIE
enforcement of the Geary law will ruin the
salmon canning industry on the loweNCol
umbis river "Work in the canneries, u
1t Gays, Sis werk that there are no white
persons to do, and it is work which white
persons will not do" Chinese laborers do
this work satisfactorily, and the total out
put which they make possible from these
oanneries is worth some millions each year.
Practically none of these Chinese laborers
fs entitled to certificates, because they do
not belong to the classes to which auch
certificates can be given under the law. If
these cannery laborers are deportedi 1t will,
temporarily at least, throw some thousands
of white men out of employment, and
would reduce the revenue of the States of
Oregon and Washington materially.
A great deal of interest was excited the
other evening in tie Photo club, Paris, by
the exhibition of photographs giving all
the oolsrs of the original objects. One
represented bouquet with red, violet,
green, blue, and other colors in their
various tfnts Another showed q corner
of park with blue sky, grsvelled ave-
nues, and trampeled soil. Another repre-
sentsd a cottage In full sunshine sur
rounded by shrubbsries Then there was
series of colorsd plscards in all their
glaring huss, and next photograph of
Japanese screen. As, however, was the

photograph is unique, How to obtain
proofs on papsr has yet to be discovered.
Nearly half an hours exposure is at pres
ent required, which would overtsx the
patience Of any sitter. The photographs
we're taken by N. Lumiere, who, improv-
ing on the original idea of NJ LippmaD,
prepared gelatino-bromid plates equally
sensitive to all colors. A correspondent
describing his process says that "mirror
is placed behind the plate, and the conflict
of the incident and reflex light produces
slternations of light and shade resulting
in a chemical phenomenon allowing
Photographic delinestion of the object"
M. Lippman had previously photographed
the solar spectrum, painted windows,
stuffed birds, and natural and artificial
flowers.
The figures of naturaliz alton by ma
tionalities 10 the Superior Court of New
York city since 1872 have bsen Published
With them ia information as to nAturaliza-
tion In the New York State court and the
United States District court. The state
ment is made that the two latter courts
show the same ratio OF nationality as the
Superior court, although in the informa
ten from those courts the details of the
ratio are lacking. We are inclined to &C.
oept this as true, and, at any rate, 1t is
sufficiently true for a purpose We have in
view. In the record of the Superior court
the ratioof naturalization from 1872 to 1898
is represented by the following totals; Ger
many, 81. .052; Ireland, 16.07S; Russia;
6,6Oa; Auatria, 6.4s5; Italy, 4,o7s. and
England, 3,112. While these figures ex-
clude the total undistributed English,
Scotch, Welsh and Iriah naturaliz alton
from 1879 to 1879 of II, $40, probably the
larger part of this II 800 were naturali-
cations of Irish immigrants. Summing
up, now, we have a demonstration which
is peculiarly interesting. The immigrants
who have been made citizens in the largest
number since 1872 are Germans, and
even If the ratio of the Irish nationality
is much larger in the Court of Common
Pleas and the United States District court,
the Irish nationality is still behind the
