all else required.
Wonderful Night Photography.
During the worlds fair at Chicago
several attempts were made to secure
night photographs of the electric light
ing effects by means Of their own
light, and the light was surprisingly
beautiful, especially in pictures of the
electric fountains and of buildings or
statuary under the search light En-
cOuraged by the success obtained, one
Of the leading photographers of San
Francisco has made further efforts at
the midwinter fair, and the views thus
secured are triumphS Of the photo
graphic art. Some of them are so clear
that it seems incredible that they were
taken at night until the method is ex-
planned. While the building or object
is being taken, the beam Of a strong
search light is continually swept to and
fro across it, and it thus comes up grad
ually on the negative, the darkness be-
ing literally washed away by the flood
Of light This process can be arrested
at any stage, OF the beam can be TO-
cussed on any special features, so that
extremely novel and picturesque effects
are Obtainable. In some of the photo
graphs arc lights are seen burning bril-
liantly in front of the buildings, and
the interiors are at the same time
shown to be brightly Illuminated, yet
the edifice itself is bold and strong in
every outline, as though under a mid
day sun. The appearance has been
cleverly described as that of a building
in which lot of light had been caught
in the daytime and there boxed up for
use at night. Further work is to be
done in this direction, and artistic pho
Biography has thus had a new field open
ed up.
Oranges and Dipsomnniacs.
The new virtue claimed for the o.
ange-that if consumed systematically
it will Wean the veriest sot from all
alcoholic rotations being widely dis
cussed in England. Six oranges per
diem from the ration, to be consumed
at intervals Of two or three hours. In
answer to the inquiry propounded in
daily newspapers: "What must man
do if he can't get oranges?" CORES
pondent says: LET him take apples.
Apples, even more than oranges, have
the power to diminish, and if eaten sys
tematically, to entirely eradicate the
craving for stimulants. This is owing
to the malic acid which completely re-
novates and purifes the whole system.
If fruit were freely taken as a part Of
the daily meals we would hear far less
Of the troubles and ailments now so
common. 1t may not be generally
known that oranges are also specially
valuable in lung complaints, the acid
citrate Of potash preventing the de-
velopment Of pneumonia"
Rapid Transit in Foreign Cities
While New York has been laboriously
discussing plans for underground cleo
trio rapid transit similar to that which
London has enjoyed for two or three
years past, the busting, bright new
city Of Buda-Pesth, in Hungary, has
been up and doing. Its municipal en-
cheering department has authorized
the construction Of such road, and
the capital for it is put at 81, 100000
It is noteworthy that like schemes
are being discussed for Boston and
Paris, and that the latter city is anx-
ious to get it's road in operation in time
to serve the necessities of the city when
| overwhelmed by the crowds attending
| it's great exposition in 1900.
