The art of photographing objects under
water is one of the latest achievements Of
science. For years the leading photog-
raphers of this country and Europe have
been endeavoring to perfect some contriv-
ance which would enable them to take
photographs, instantaneous or otherwise,
in any depth of water. For some time the
art of photographing in calm weather at a
depth of from Is to 90 feet has been sue
cessfully practiced, but some better plan
was earnestly desired, especially by the
scientific photographers. This long felt
want" has been supplied by Professor
Louis Boutan of Paris. His apparatus con-
sists of magnesium lamp and an oxygen
cask. The cask is filled with oxygen just
before being lowered, the lamp hanging by
a special attachment at the top of the ves
sell A receptacle containing magnesium
in powder is connected with the lamp in
such a manner that the powder can be
thrown across the alcoholic flame by an
automatic bellows. Some Of Boutan's
photographs which were taken at a depth
of 5000 feet with this apparatus have been
shown. They are wholly without back
ground, defect which the photographers
say will be easily remedied.-St. Louis

A Detectives Story.

A police officer tells an interesting tale
of an old woman he once had to deal with.
A batch of bank notes had been stolen,
and the detective found some one to tell
him that the old woman in question, no.
torious fence" had one of the notes at
least at her house.
So implicitly did the detective rely upon
his inforncr that he set aside the formal
ity of n search warrant and proceeded to
visit the old womans house, locked the
doors on the inside and rummaged the
rooms from cellar to roof. He is an officer
who prides himself on his keen scent in a
search, but he was completely baffled, and
after tearing up some boards and knock
ing down some plaster by way of making
a show of doing something while he wait
ed for new idea at last he gave 1t up.
Turning to the woman and handing her
back candle which she had lent him to
work with he said:
"Well, this time confess am beaten.
Tell us where it Is, mother, and I'll get
you of"
The compromise was sufficient

Drinking at Meals,

Drinking water at meals can only assist
digestion by affording the proper degree Of
moisture to the food. Persons who are not
thirsty while eating may be assured that
the food already possesses that degree of
moisture, and that by taking more it will
serve to dilute the gastric fluid and conse-
quently lessen its solvent power. Authori-
ties on dyspepsia assert that eating fast
causes thirst, the food having been swal-
lowed without proper mastication and
due admixture Of saliva, and SO the mass
formed in the stomach is too dry.-Amer-

LOVE VERSUS WISDOM.

LOVE VERSUS WISDOM.
A beautiful butterfly came one day
ct was Cupid in disguised,
And he few away from maiden's grasp
AS shereached for the lovely prize,
And a wise old owl, who sat quite near,
Whispered these words in the maiden's ear:
Nay, lassie! Stay, lassiel
Let love go.
It's no use following.
1t will only bring you woe.
But she followed it over the grassy slopes,
Where the flowers were fair and sweet,
And away where the road was rough and lone
And the briers hurt her feet,
While spite of sunshine and spite Of rain
The owl still chanted the old refrain:
Nay, lassie! Stay. lassiel
Let love go.
It's no use following.
1t will only bring you woe.
But then Cupid lit on a fair white rose,
And the maiden caught him fast.
She cared not for the thorns which tore her
hand,
For love was hers at last,
While the owl sat with solemn look
And read these words from wisdom's book;
Dark lassies, fair lassies,
All made the same.
For love they'd leave a fortune
And gayly laugh at fame.

PROVIDENCE PRESS CLUB.
Eleventh Annual Supper Was
a HowIing Success.
ROBUST KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT.
The Club Might Have Heard Some
Good Speeches If II Had Listened,
and IL Was Presented an OIL Paint
ing.

Upwards of 800 members and guests OF
the Providence Press Club sat about the
tables in Tilling ghast's Trocadero last eve
ming and enjoyed big, fat juicyoporter-
house steaks and baked potatoes in the
skin, washing them down with potations
of a strength and in quantity
worthy of robber barons. The company
filed the big hall as perhaps 1t had never
been filed before, and everybody that
everybody knows was there. There was,
moreover, more smoke and hilarity packed
I'm than the beautiful hall has been acoss-
toned to. Up in the gallery was Hedley's
National Orchestra, Professor Langstaff
In charge, and they played any
kind of music the club wanted. After
the church warden's pipes had been
loaded with the Press Club blend, and
were sending their fragrant streams OF
smoke curling toward the dome, PIesi-
dent Hnrcourt arose to open up the after
supper exercises. The bill OF fare, which
the souvenir committee had gotten up,
and which was in the SEM
blance of q valentine, made known
that "after supper, remarks may b in
dulged in OH the invitation of the presi-
dent and by kind permission OF the other
members" but as subsequently developed,
the permission" OF the other members
was very difficult thing to get. There
was on the contrary an overpowering
disposition to make noise and
sing Annie Rooney. Accordingly when
the president introduced Mr.. K. IL.
Clemens OF the Boston Transcript,
the first speaker OF the evening was well
coined with a sociferocity (maybe that
word is COMEDY that didn't entirely die
out until after the close OF the address.
AS a result his interesting paper OF remin-
iscences of early newspaper life with
recollections OF Horace Greeley came
through the mist and murmur something
like this:

Governor Brown Is used to Press Club
aff2irs, too, SO he made few remarks
without displaying any outer evidence Of
yearning TO have them heard. After he
had kept his feet until the club got tired
of the effort to discourage him he closed
his address.
Ex-Governor Ladd had surprise for
the company in the gift Of an oil painting,
uniquely framed, entitled "Don Qui-
bIague." The work is a copy from the
original by Weirtz, the Belgian artist, and
represents caricature OF critic
whose judgment on the artists work
was unfair and unfavorable 1t is strik-
ing burlesque and was warmly received by
the club. Ex-Governor Ladd brought il
home from Brussels last summer especial
~ for the Press Club.
Mr.. James Joffery Roche OF the Boston
Pilot is used to Press Club ways also,
and he delivered very interesting paper
which was enjoyed by a select few under
the acoustic obstacles set up by the
explosive cheerfulness in other parts OF
the hall. Mr.. Joseph Smith
of the Lowell Arena, Mr.. A. M. Williams,
Mr.. Hiram Howard, Secretary OF State
Utter, Mr.. Henry w. Hayes, and others
spoke and the exercises closed by an ad-
journment, Ito quote tho President) TO
