PIctdre OF Mont Blanc Taken on a Spot

A Pictdre OF Mont Blanc Taken on Spot
Fifty-six Miles Away.
The annual exhibition Of the Photo
graphic So 'ieiy OF Great Britain has
opened in London, says he Pail Mail
Budget. There was soiree on Satur-
day, when visitors who were mere law
men were astounded by The inspection

at a distance of filty-six miles. Dali
meyers telepho.ographic lens was used.
smallest stop, extension OF camera sixty
inches, with seven minutes exposure.
at 6:15p. m, Aug. 81, in windy weather.
The success Of Mr.. Boissonnas' expert
ment with the telescope camera Is I'M
questionable, and opens up many inter-
essing possibilities. A perfect view OF
Mont Blanc even at this great distance
has been secured, and opportunity OF
instructive comparison is offered with
smaller photographs taken with an or
binary lens at similar and closer ranges.
Another exhibit has some scientific
though little or no artistic attraction.
Even the uninitiated h I'VE ceased to be
astonished at the lightning records OF
the camera. Daguerre found seven or
eight hours exposure necessary to pro-
cure copy Of landscape that may be
obtained now in an infinitesimal frac-
ton of a second. Notwithstanding this
familiarity with speed, it is worth not
irg that H. j. Godbold has very sue
cessfully caught a rocket in its flight
from the shore to 81 'p 10 distress. The
color Is not all that it should be, but this
Is an unavoidable effect of short expos,
ure and of the conditions under which
the picture was doubtless made. As a
whole the excellence of the exhibition,
is very striking, and Captain Abney mavi
be congratulated upon the result of his
efforts in getting it together.

MANY experiments have been made IN
order TO find out what and where the
organ of taste IS in the lower creationi
but it is easier to say where it is not.
crayfish aud worms seem to have very
decided preferences in the matter OF
God. though no special taste organ has
set been found. Lobsiers like decaving
God; the crab is more dainty in its diet.
snails and sluqs show decided prefer
snce for certain kinds of food, as garden
lovers know to their cost; peas aud cab
baQes, dahlias aud sanfiowers are great
lavorites; but they will not touch the
white mustard. Some prefer animal
rood, especially if rather high. Spiders
have only slight sense OF taste; flies
ioaked in paraffine seem quite palatable
70 them; though one species, the dia-
7ema, is somewhat more particular. aud
refuses to touch alcohol in any form
whatever.
The antenna of insects do not appear
20 contain any organ of taste, for wasps
and ants quite readily took into their
mouths poisonous and unpleasant food,
even swallowing enough to make them
selves i'll, while some bees and cock
reaches fell prey to the temptation OF
alum, EPSON salts, and other nauseous
foods placed IN their way, These sub
stances were not, however, swallowed,
but were soon spat out, the creatures
spluttering angrily, as if disguised with
the taste. The proboscis of the fly and
n. tongue Of bees and ants are furnished
with numerous delicate hairs set in
minute pits; these are perhaps connected
with the organ of taste; but, though the
exact locality of this sense in insects is
uncertain, we know that groups of cells
n the tongue of animals, called taste
bulbs, form, in part, the ends OF the
organ of taste.

Duruhiiity of Tin Ronfs.

From the New York Metal.
The question of the endurance of tin roof
ing is one which has had some discussion
and less satisfactory conclusions than al
most any other connected with the roofing
trade. Along the seashore a tin roof with
out the protection of paint will last about
as long as il would take to eat IL up il put
in n weak pickle. During the rainy months
OF the fall and spring il will get a coating
OF red rust inside of two weeks. and in a
month will become covered with rust
that no trace OF tin can be seen upon il.
In the suburbs of New York and in the up
town districts ii is a practice among roof
oughly rusted. In some of the dry interior
portions of the country tin roofs without
protection of paint have been reported in
use for years with the tin still bright and
perfect. They are undoubtedly SO far away
from salt water that no salt il present in
the atmosphere. and probably the amount
of carbonic acid present at the same time
is at minimum.
Rusting of iron takes place only in the
presence of moisture and an acid. II We
remove the moisture the iron is safe. If we
keep the iron in an alkaline condition IL is
also safe from rust. The effect of lime on
tin roof is probably well known to every
timer. A few handfuls scattered about the
roof will keep the tin bright for weeks after
the remainder has disappeared under a
coating of red rust.
The use of green sheathing boards the
placing of tin on roofs where acid vapors
arise through the building. the use of acid
tars and acid tar papers are among the
causes to which the rand destruction of
tin roofs may be charged.

THE BOA CONSTRUCTOR IN FASHION.
No More Will the Alligator Figure in
Sweet WOman's Fancy.

From the New York Sun.
The alligator has had his day in fair
woman's favor. She wore him on her gown.
She copied his rough and scaly skin in ner
crepons and woolens. She clasped him in
her hand in pocketbook and card case She
buckled him about her waist. She hung him
on her hip in shopping bag and reticule. She
even strapped him about her waist in the
form of bracelet, with her watch set in
side.
But now she has transferred her affec-
tons to the boa constructor, and it is his
notified gray and white skin that clothes
now her favorite card case and purse, that
Is fitted about her delicate waist in a girdle
with silver buckles and on some occasions
is sewed in strips on her tailor gown as a
decoration. Now the new purses are deli
cately ornamented with gold or silver or
gold plated silver, in patterns not attract
i've or easily copied in plated goods. Some
times just cord of silver or a plain band
Of Furnished gold, unchased, finishes the
purse. If corners are used they are very
modest in size and beautiful in workman
SHIP A dainty little scroll of gold or sill
yer runs around the edge. with turquoise
set in the form of forget-me-nots, or a fam
clful scroll appears in a corner with a
painted medallion head in the center. These
medallions are also employed on brushes
and on other silver toilet articles.
Another fancy is that of using enameled
silver flowers. reproducing the tints of the
natural blossoms and set on In relief in the
outer flap of a card case for dressy occa-
sions. A white vellum card case, bound in
gold with three sweet peas nodded and
tinted in careful copy of the flowers and set
on long gold stems against the cover, will
be dainty gift for some admirer to pre-
sent on Christmas morning to his sweet
heart. Or, if he would have something
more touching still. there's pansies, that's
for thoughts" and very perfect pansies
they are, too. all OF silver with deep purple
petals set against the dainty gray white of
the boa constructors skin, which originally
covered that part of his anatomy upon
which, according to the Scriptures, he must
forever crawl. 1t is sweetly sentimental
gift for one you love.
Another card case which deserves special
mention Is of white rough leather bound
with gold. and on the cover is a cipher in
odd artistic letters, made of a flexible
strand OF gold wire set with diamonds and
ruby chips. The cipher begins al the top Of
the case and meanders through the three
letters In an erratic way to the very bot
tom.
And there are purses, too. in the art green
of the lizard skin, and in blue equally odd
in tint, besides the regular sealskin purses
and card cases which many conservative
ladies prefer to the more striking novel
ties. for these are quickly initiated in cheap
materials.
