Of the Novelty and How 1t n Operated.
NJ. v. BRAGG is the inventor of new
Photographic shutter which he calls
''po1ypose," because it enables opera
tors to take composite pictures on one
plate with very little trouble. With
this ingenious device it is possible to
take one or several objects as often
and in as many different positions as it
is desired and on any kind of back
ground. This latter is the chief adj
a man can be made to hand himself a
glass OF water. or a clown to carry his
double on his shoulders. etc.
The secret of the system is simple
enough, and is founded upon the fol-
lowing principles: If shutter pro-
vidcd with n slot is placed as near as
possible to the sensitive plate. directly
in front of the plate-holder. the slot
allows only portion of the reflection
of the subject-to pass. BY changing it
about. either horizontally or VERTICAL
ly, the negative can be made to receive
in succession several impressions In
one way Or another. If the intensity
of the light has been the same a every
exposure no traces of the JOINTS are
visible. no matter how numerous they
might be.
With this knowledge in mind it was
but step to construct an apparatus
with which the work could be accom-
p1ished in the most rational way.
The device constructed by NJ. BRAGG
and his assistant, NJ. Faller, consists Of
a fiat rectangular casing. which can be
fitted to the plate-holder and can carry

oxen were tied up to the Jokes, and

Gable ends have a significance that
few people realize now. The carved

TyroL The completion of a build
ing was signalized by a sacrifice orig
inally, just as the laying of tho
foundation was. Perhaps more of the
final ceremony remains today than
the initial one.
Horses were held to be sacred by
the northern races and formed, next
to a man, the worthiest sacrifice, and
if a horses skull was not put ON the
point of the gable a horses head was
carved. At a chieftain's death his
horse was buried with him, and to-
day the charger of an officer follows
his coffin to the grave. Poles sur-
mounted by punches of leaves and
flowers protect the farmhouses of the
Black forest from lightning and rep
resent the ancient oblation of a
bunch of grain to Odin's horse, and
gables often have carvings connected
with this Oblation to Odln.

1.-THE only Coquehn known in all
France" said a learned Frenchman,
sis the great actor. It is not French
name, and the fact is that many of
his friends do not believe that he is
of French descent. While every
Frenchman is naturally proud Of this
distinguished countryman, yet jus
tice requires that credit be given
where it belongs. Those who have
studied the question assert that
Coquelin is descended from the Irish,
and they base their opinion upon two
important facts.
First, the name is unique. As
you know it is pronounced Kok-lan.
What a similarity to Coghlan, and
how natural that the Irishman who
settled In France should have his
name perverted from Coghlan to
Coquelinl Secondly, the features of
Coquelin are decidedly Hibernian.
1t is believed that some one of his
ancestors, possibly a grandfather or
great-grandfather, exiled from his
native land, as so many Irishmen
have been, sought shelter in France
and remained there. The fact that
Coquelin was born in that part of
France nearest Ireland lends color
to this theory."-New York Sun.
