Novelties In Photography.

It is rather startling to tho ordinary mind to be told that photographs can be taken without the assistance of light.
 Photography has always been so associat- ed with the action of the suns rays and bright. lights that new departure in the direction of similar results produced by ether waves set up by the working of an electrical machine is n genuine surprise.
 A scientist, however, gives the following facts: Lay coin, like half dollar, on a plate of glass, and let few sparks from an electric machine fall upon it. Remove the coin, and the glass surface will not appear to have been affected, but if it be breathcd on tho image of the coin will at once be seen. That it is really engraved upon the glass is evident, for 1t will not easily rub off. If piece of photographic

THE FALLING APPLE.
A New Theory Which Promises to Eclipse
 That of Sir Isaac Newton.

That of Sir Isaac Newton.
 While Sir Isaac Newton was idly wan- dering his way through the shady avenues of an apple orchard but few centuries back his silent thoughts were abruptly disturbed by Q sharp crack upon his cranium.
 On recovering his senses he discovered that large, ripe descendant of the for bidden fruit had become detached from well laden branch and for some unknown reason had made sway toward the ground, though Intellectually meeting with an obstacle which Retarded its course.
 This simple incident set Mir Newton to thinking, and ke wondered why the apple should fall downward and not upward
 This gave 1iso to additional meditation, while otheps took up the study, and it was finally cQntended that there was a force which caused all things to sink to the earth, and So, upon Sir Isaac's discovery the laws of attraction and gravitation were founded until now the Newtonian theory is recognized in physics us a scientific truth.
 Robert Stevenson, in recent lecture before the Academy of Science, made it known that the illustrious Isaac was not in it, ," so to speak, and that his theory as regards the falling of an apple down. ward was simply the product of diseased imagination.
 MT. Stevenson does not hold that an apple should make it's way heavenward to feed the angels, but contends that the Newtonian laws have nothing to do with the production of the laws of gravitation, and that if the world reyolved at a greater velocity than its present limit the inhab- itants thereon would be enabled to walk about in the air without the least incon- venicnce, while apples would fall upward, downward, eastward, westward or any other direction, at the mercy of tho wind
 He further contended that horizontal bar would reach the ground much quicker than falling body and concluded by stat ing upon authority that the common say ing, "the sun rises' or tho 'sun sets" is positively false, as the sun is quite sta tionary, whilo it is the earth that revolves once every 24 hours, thus meeting the sun daily Francisco Call.

paper take the place of the glass, it will have the imprint of the coin made upon it. It is not needful to have the sparks fall upon the coin, for if it be inclosed in a dark box and brought near to an electric machine having short sparks passing be-. tween its knobs the ether waves set up by the latter will be short enough to affect the photographic surface which may be developed afterward in the ordinary way ]" The idea is new, but practical and suscep- tible of great development and utility New York Ledger

NOT A PORTER'S STRIKE.

Funny Experience of a Congressman That
 Looked Like a Plea For 8 Tip.
 1T had what at first seemed to me a rather funny experience, but what I sec now to be simply means to dodge new wrinkle of the deadbeats on the sleeping car the other night" said member of congress to reporter after a holiday spent at Cape May.
 "When I got in the car it was quite late, and as it was small station had not bought sleeping car ticket, waiting to pay for my berth on tho car. When got on, 1 told the porter l had no berth engaged, pulled out my purse and in the dim light flshed out and gave him S2 bill and started to walk back to the smok- ing compartment. He followed me and said, That was $2 bill, sir, at the same time exhibiting it to me- Twas very much surprised, of course, and said Why, yes. That's the fare, isn't it9' Yes, sir was the reply; that's all right sir. l sat for a minute trying to imagine what the fel- low wanted. It was altogether too early to hint for fec, especially as the berth allotted to me was already made up. As could not make up my mind what the reason for this conduct was, stepped back and asked the porter what he meant. oh, he replied, I see you are puzzled, boss. The fact is every now and then a gentle man hands me dollar and then the next morning or perhaps after smoke asks me for the change, declaring that it was $5 note. simply called your attention to the fact that it was a $2 note. If a passenger makes charge to the conductor that he gave the porter $5 bill, of course the con ductor can't deny it, and we have to pay the difference. I've lost money that way Washington Times.

HERolSM IN WHALES.

Numerous Instances Where Whales Have
 Died For Love.
 Heroic affection is about the last quail ity the average landlubber would look for in whale, and yet Captain Scoresby has witnessed numbers of incidents where it was conspiouously displayed. He relates how one of his harpooners, having struck a young whale in order to secure the moth- CT, saw her instantly rise, wrap her flip pers round her young one and descend, dragging about 500 feet of line out of the boat, with marvellous force and velocity. Again she rose to the surface darted furi- ously to and fro, frequently stopped short or suddenly changed her direction, giving every possible intimation of agony. The boats continued to pursue her closely for length of time while she, poor creature, seemed utterly regardless of the dangers which surrounded her. At last one of the boats approached so near that Q harpoon was thrown at her, then second har- poon, and third. Still she did not at tempt to escape, but allowed the other boats to approach, so that more harpoons were attached, till in the course of an
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-09-06

WITH A bLON UT llS lAlL. hour the poor animal was killed. Though there was something painful in the delib- crate destruction of a-ereature evincing such heroic affection for her offspring, yet this feeling of compassion quickly gave way to the object of the adventure, the value of tho prize and the exciting joy of the capture
 The fidelity of the male and female whale to each other exceeds that of most animals Anderson, in his History of Greenland" mentions that some fisher men having struck one of two whales a male and female that were in company to- | gether, the wounded creature made a long and terrible resistance. With single blow of its tail 1t upset boat containing three men, by which they all went to the bottom. When another boat came up the other whale still remained by its compan- ion and lent every assistance, till at last the wounded victim sank under the num- Der and severity of its wounds, while its faithful partner, unable to survive it's loss, stretched herself upon the'dead body of her mate and calmly shared its fate.
