LONDON GAMBLING HELLS.

Their Heyday Ended When Victoria Came
to the Throne.
It is, perhaps, a fact known to very
few save systematic students OF old
newspapers that the remote cause of
the ruin and the dreadful end of Arthur
Thistlewood, the chief of the Cato str~t
conspiratOrs, who, with their leader,
were hanged and beheaded before the
Debtors Door, Newgate, in 1920, was a
m~iSadventure which he met with in a
gaming house. ThistlewOOd was the
son of a country gentleman of fair es-
tate. When quite Il young man he was
sent up to London with a very large
sum of mOney-reaching fOur figures,
if | remember aright-in his possession
to make some investment on behalf of
a relative. lie had this money about
him in bank notes, when, having dined
much too ~cOpiously at a tavern, he was
enticed by some ~imprOvised acquaint-

in a gambling house. There he was
stripped of every farthirg Of the money

he had become altogether a social leper

very long after the death, in debt and
discredit, one of the most brilliant OF
Crockford's circle-Theodore Hook-the

The hour of doom for the common
gaming houses now rapidly approached,
and the complete breaking up of these

work of an exceptionally energetic and
resourceful superintendent OF police
named Beresford, who, with strong

A LOVER OF NATURE.

John Burroughs was born on a farm
in the beautiful country near Roxbury,
\. Y. He learned to love nature in his
babyhood and now at the age of fifty
six his devotions to her is stronger than
ever. No man could interpret natures
woods as he has done unless he had
the deepest sympathy with them.
Such sympathy gives insight Even
the titles of his essays have a delight
full odor of fields and wild flowers
about them: Birds and Poets, Locusts
and Wild Honey and Wake, Robin,
for instance. Mr.. Burroughs taught
school nine years and then went to
New York and became a newspaper
man. Then he was a clerk in the
treasury department at Washington
for nine years more. In 1873 he was
receiver of the Waikiki
National bank in Middleton, n Y. A
year later he settled on farm near
EsOpus, n. Y, and gave his time to
literature and fruit culture. The
poetic contributions made by Mr.. Bur
rOughS to our literature are COMPARE
lively few, but one of them at least
deserves and will doubtless receive a
place among American classics. 1t is

The Processes Recently Developed by
Several Inventors

A few weeks ago we commented
upon the remarkable results recently
achieved in the reproduction of OBJ
jects in their natural colors by means
of photography through what is called
the "three-plate process" This pro
cess, as developed by Ives, Of Phila-
delphia, Vogel, of Berlin, and applied
practically, with great success, by
Kurtz, Of New York, consists in the
photographing of the object upon three
plates, each sensitive TO only one of
the three primary colors, and then
making plates from these negatives
and printing therefrom in pigments.
This process, which is Of great COM
mercial Importance, and bids fair to
replace other processes Of color print
ing, reprOduceS the natural cOlors with
remarkable fidelity, although not with
absolute accuracy, owing to Imperfect
tons in pigments and the changes of
color values effected in the course of
developing a negative. Strictly speak
ing, this method is not one of actual
color photography, for it does not
photograph the colors themselves, but
enables their reproduction by mechan-
ical means.
1t is remarkable that, almost stimuli
taneously with the perfection Of this
method for commercial utilization,
true colored photography should have
been realized. That is, a process of
photography has now been discovered
that retains the image upon the plate
in all its natural colors in a way that
is equivalent to fixing upon a mirror
the image reflected there. Ever since
the day of Daguerre the search for
this result has for Photographic sci
ence been what the quest for the
philosophers stone was for the al
chemists, and by most men has been
regarded as equally hopelessi But
here it is realized, as everything soon
err or later must be which the scien-
tific Imagination of man may aspire
to grasp.
This invention, which by chemical

MEN WHO DECEIVE BANKERS
Not the Man of Good Appearance Who
Has the Best Credit

n. A. Painbolt of Norfolk, Neb.. who
was present at the worlds congress of
Finance at Chicago, said to a writer
for the st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Il
am more fearful of the man who makes
a good appearance than of the other
kind. Men who expect to deceive
bankers understand how much we have
to depend upon looks They prepare
themselves accordingly If man
comes to me with a certain amount of
timidity and want of confidence, / am
more inclined to take him at his word
and give him what he wants than if
he is ready of speech and entirely self
possessed. AS for the theory that the
confidence man betrays himself by his
manner [ have my doubts. It hasn't
been my experience with them. Dick
ems is considered an authority ON hui
man nature. Dickens said something
like this: THE general impression is
that a dishonest man can not look you
in the face. Let me disabuse your
mind of that, for I promise you "A dis
honest man can look you out of cOun-
tenance every hour of the day if there
is anything to be gained by it." My
experience in the banking business con-
firms that view Of it,"
J. M. Dinwiddie of Cedar Rapids
said: Let me add my experience. A
man came into my bank with a check
for S15-his wages as a carpenter, he
said. He was dressed like a working
man. He looked like one In every
way he had the appearance of an hon
est man. I hadn't the least doubt he
was what he claimed to be, and cashed
his check. He had forged the sigma
tulre. He cashed six others just like it
in our city that day. We got him and
[ looked him over afterward carefully
but I couldn't see anything about him
which Conficted with my first judg-
ment that he was an honest working
man. Even after he was in prison he
was lust as honest looking as when he
came to the bank window"

THE HOME OF CHOLERA.
How Even India Might Stamp Out the
Disease.

India is generally referred to as the
home of cholera" the disease being es-
tablished endemically throughout
wide area. This, however, is not, as
most Indian authorities once believed
and many would even now have us be-
Geye, due to any mysterious or unpre-
yentable causes, but in virtue of cOndi-
lions which may all of them be re-
moved. In India, as elsewhere, water
has been the chief nurse and dis
seminator Of cholera, and believe that
if every town and village in India were
provided with pure Ind properly pre-
tected water, the sO-called endemic
area would soon become indefinite.
DR.. NJ. G. Furnell, who has had great
experience as surgeOn-general Of Ma
dras, is firmly of opinion that the
general method of the propagation Of
cholera in India is by no means Of
specifically polluted water, and he has
no difficulty in finding masses of facts
in support of his opinions. The expert
ences of Calcutta, as observed by Dr.
W. j. Simpson, the health officer Of
that city, go to show that those per-
son who have an abundant and pure
water supply, namely, the Europeans
and better class of nativeS-escape
cholera epidemics except in isolated
instances which can generally be ac-
counted for; while the natives, who
necessarily depend on tank water, suf-
fer severely when tank becomes pol
luted by the eXcreta Of cholera pa
tent. 1t must be remembered that the
natives battle and wash their utensils
and clothes in the tank because it is
the only available place for doing so,
and that they use the water of the
tank, contaminated as it is, in addition
by sOakage and sewage, for cooking
and drinking purposes, because it is
! the only available water supply for
domestic purposes. DR.. Simpson raises
/ a very earnest cry against the scarcity
Of pure water. The first requisite for
: HoWrah and the suburbs of Calcutta is
liberal water supply, whilst Cal
cutta itself needs al increased supply.

HERE'S A SPARKIERi
Crown Jewels Are Not in It with the
Jagerfonstein Excelsior.

A flashing gem, whose purity of
water and wonderful size eclipse the
famous KohinOor, has lust reached
England from the Orange Free State
1t is now in London, but it's where
abouts is not knwn. The owners evil
IDENTIFY are afraid to make it's presence
public. 1t is the most perfect large
stone, says a London dispatch, ever
seen. Its weight is OIL carats, it's color
is blue-white and almost perfect. 1t
has one black spot in it, which, how
ever, the owners state, will cut out.
It's value, of course, cannot now be
stated, but I think if S250,0OO were
offered for it now, or even double that
amount, it would not be accepted
Some declare that it will be worth
$2,5O0,OOO. 1t was found by a
Katfir, who was working in
the mine, shortly after blasting.
The Kaffir, in this case, was talking
to his oyerseer, when he saw some
thing shine, and he put his foot over
it until his boss had gone away,
when he picked up the immense dia-
mond and put it in his pocket. After
ward, in the compound, he handed it
over to the manager, for which he has
been given $3.50, a horse, saddle and
bride, and has gone home in, no
doubt, perfect happiness. An extra
ordinary circumstance is that some
gentlemen were under contract to buy
all Stones good, bad or Indifferent, at
so much per carat. The contract ter
minated on the Both of June and this
stone was almost, if not quite, the
last stone found on that day. The
model shows that the stone is in the
form of sloping cone, flattened on
two sides and standing on an oval
base, so flush as almost to appear to
have been cut. It's height is about
three inches and it's width is about
two, while the fiat base measures near
ly two inches by one and a quarter.

RIDE ON AN ALLIGATOR
A Story Which You are Not Obliged
to Believe.

There have been a great many queer
rides from the one Jonah took in the
whale to the latest balloon ascension,
but one of the most curious and inter
esting short trips on record is described
in a Florida lettert0 the New York
Tribune. Last winter, during a visit
paid to a Florida plantation" says
this writer, "a novel and effective
method or catching alligators came I'M
der my notice. There were half a dOZ-
en- young people in the house at which
I was staying, and, wearying of COM
monplace comfort, they decided to
camp out for a few days. A pleasant
piece of woodland was chosen, and
preparations began at once. The camp
was near the plantation, but was sep
arated from it by a creek, one of the
innumerable tributaries of the st.
| John River. At least twice a day
some of the young people went over to
the camp in an awkward but roOmy
old f1atbottomed boat, carrying various
articles which they supposed would be
useful. On one occasion there were
| four of us going over, and as we were
