NEW Y JRK STOCK MA .Kar.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The stock mar
ket with hardly an exception worked
lower to-day. The volume of business
was considerably lighter than on Tues
day. The dealings in sugar stock were
only about half as large as yesterday,
but con stituted about one third of the
total Early in the day general ad.
vapoes in foreign and domestic grades
of sugars served as an argument TO bull
the stock and gain Of per cent. was
recorded in it. at the top figures re-
aliZing sales were encountered and un-
favorable rumors were current in regard
to probable legal attacks upon the
company in this and other States. Ia
the afternoon the rumors crystalized into
the serving of papers upon the Secretary
and Treasurer of the company ia a suit
to restrain it from doing bus ness in the
State of New York. The street regarded
the movement as highly speculative in
character. The stock was practically
unaffected by the news and let off at a
net gain Of l per cent, being sustained
by expectations that the regular quar-
terly dividends upon the preferred and
common stocks will be declared to-mor-
row. Rumors were current of hostile
proceedings to be brought in Massachu-
sets. The general market was adversely
affected by foreign selling of the utter
national shares by disappointing exhib-
its of railroad earrings, and by expecta-
tons that fairly large amount of gold
would be shipped to Europe at the end
of the week The closing was quiet and
heavy at the lowest of the day, and at
sharp conc ssions in some instances.
Railroad bonds were moderately active
TO day and firm in tone, despite some
irregularity in prices. Concessions as a
rule were only made in the inactive class.
The sales were 81, 283, 900.

lost their distinguishing feature. The
inventor, thoroughly practical man,
saw at once that while his discovery
might be of interest to the amateur Il
possessed no commercial value.
Instead of being discouraged bv this
failure, Mr.. McDonough continued his
researches and in March, 1892, patented
a process for photographing in colors
which may be destined to reyolutionize
the art Work already done shows
steady progress and promises eventual
perfection. The problem of the repro
duction Of objects in colors closely re-
sembling the originals evidently is
solved, as well as the feat of applying
the method in everyday photography.
Mr. McDonough presented the writer
with specimen of his work which
proves more conclusively than words
that his process has grand future and
that any object can be reproduced with
facility in the colors of nature.
According to technical description,
which, however, is plain enough to be
understood by amateur photographers,
the McDonough process requires
specially ruled screen and specially
ruled paper. A multi-colored screen.
ruled with very fine alternate lines, or
formed of small dots or small particles.
is employed. Fundamental colors of
the spectrum are preferably used, snch
as orange-red, acknowledgment and
violet-blue. The screen is ruled with
lines in these colors, about three hun
dred to the inch. This screen is placed
in front of, and in close contact with,
a specially sensitized orthocdromatic
plate which is then exposed in the
camera to the object to be photo
graphed, and black and white mega
tive is ultimately obtained in lines cor
responding to the screen in the regis
ter. From this negative a positive is
made in the ordinary way on glass or
paper Then if the screen, or one SINH
larry ruled, is laid on the positive, and
moved until the two are in register, the
picture appears in the original colors.
The positive may be printed direct
upon paper ruled or lined in the same
colors as the screen, and registering, of
course, in color and form with the same.
1t may be printed on printing press
from one half-tone plate on paper ruled |
with colors IN the same manner as the |
screen, but preferably lighter in tint.
Two of the screens were recently ex-
hibited to experts in New York, who
say in their report that ''they
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-07-09

were apparently transparent ce-1u'
loid with nothing to indicate
any ruling except a slight purplish
tint. Ruled papers were also exam
ined, and were apparently white Of
particular interest to the experts was
the following: Enrolling a small jap
anese scroll, Mr.. McDonough pointed
out the various tints, and then exhibited
what was apparently an ordinary black
and white transparency. After exam
ming scroll and transparency an APP
parently clear piece of celluloid was
handed to us, and was placed in contact
with the transparency. Moving the
celluloid little, the transparency sud-
denly became mass of color, repro
ducing exactly every shade of color
present in the japanese scroll. The
celluloid was a ruled screen, and the
transparency had been made from neg
alive made through this ruled screen.
When it is remembered that but one
camera and one exposure are required,
and that from one negative any num-
Der of pictures may be printed, the
capabilities and possibilities of this new
process seem illimitable."
The art of neither printer nor lith-
ographer has ever succeeded in repro
dusing the patterns and colors of rugs,
carpets, wallpapers, dress goods, china
wares and other delicate goods and
fabrics Commercial travellers handling
such merchandise have to carry dozens
OF trunks to show samples to their
country customers-one carpet sales
man for Chicago house carrying no
less than seventy pieces of baggage.
Color photography would relieve mer-
| chants of this terrible tax, as the cam
era would reproduce the most delicate
shades and patterns to perfection. Two
trunks full of carpet samples and ten
trunks full of rugs could, with the aid
of color photography, be reduced in
bulk to convenient portfolio, whose
pretty pictures would answer all the
requirements of the most particular
customer.
The production of artistic portraits
would also be stimulated by the nat
ural color process, which would show
the flesh tints, the gay cravat and the
snowy white collar to perfection; and
many extraordinary color phenomena
now lost to science could be preserved
with its aid. But to speak in detail OF
all the merits of perfect process OF
this kind would require many columns
of space and a breadth of information
possessed by but few men.

miles beyond the orbit of Jupiter. The
extreme distance at which any previous
comet had been seen was considerably
less than the distance of Jupiter.
September 10, 1892, Prof. S. w. Burn
ham, of Chicago, received letter from
Prof. Barnard stating that he had OBJ
served an extremely faint speck of light
very close to Jupiter about midnight;
that it seemed to be moving with the
planet snd that he strongly suspected
1t was a new satellite. He said it was
so difficult of observation with the
large telescope that he was unable to
see it except by shutting out the light
of the planet. The suspected star was
found by the observations of the fol-
lowing hight to be a new satellite, and
on the Monday morning following the
whole astronomical world was electri-
fed by the announcement that Jupi-
ter, observed more than any planet for
the last 800 years, had fifth moon, re-
volving about in it in less than twelve
hours at a distance from the surface
planet of about 10000 miles
This is the most important astro-
nomical discovery of modern times.
Prof Barnard has also done some very
delicate work in photographing comets
and portions of the milky way.
Prof Barnard has been Fellow of the
Royal Astronomical society of London
since 1887. He is also member of the
British Astronomical association, the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, and many other
learned societies. On January 1, 1895,
Prof. Barnard's astronomical discover
les received the highest recognition of
the French Academy of Sciences by the
award to him of the Lalande gold
medal.

TO STUDY THE STARS.
Prof Barnard Win Come to the
Yerkes Observatory.
Has Decided to Leave Lick Observatory to
Become Connected with the Univer-
city OF Chicago-Some OF His
Most Brilliant Discoveries.

Prof. Z. E.. Barnard, of the Lick OBJ
,ervatory at Mount Hamilton, CAL, has
formally signifed his acceptance of the
position rendered him by the University
| pf Chicago on the astronomical staff of
the Yerkes observatory faculty
For two years the University of Chi
cago has been trying to rob Lick Of this
famous explorer of the starry heights
A formal offer was made Prof Barnard
last February. The acceptance was an
nounced by Secretary Goodspeed at the
university a few days ago Prof.
Barnards action gives the University
of Chicago perhaps the ablest corps of
practical astronomers in the world.
Germany leads in theoretical and math-
ematical astronomy and several institu-
tions in this country have done superb
work, Harvard being especially active
in the work of classification. But to
the University of Chicago must be con-
coded the honor of having the three
leading men in nebular astronomy,
double stars and solar analysis-viz.:
Prof. Barnard Prof. s. w. Burnham
and Prof George E. Hale, who is to be
ulrtcuOr Oh Une 1erheS ODSerVdtOry.
These three have no superiors in their
respective lines
Mismahagement at Lick and the I'M
popularity of Director Holden are said
by the Chicago Tribune to have led to
the resignation of Prof. Barnard and
Prof Burnham, both of whom have
done their best work at the California
observatory. Prof. Barnard was born
in Nashville, Tenn, December, 1857.
His early education was scanty and the
story Of his life is the record of self
sacrifice and personal effort against
great odds In August, 1889, Prof
Barnard discovered that Brooks comet
of that year was passing through space
with four-minute satellites moving gen.
orally with the parent body, but with
some motion of their own. Nothing of
this kind had been seen before, and
Prof. Barnards observation and re-
suits attracted wide attention in the
scientific world
With the large telescope at Mount
Hamilton he followed one of his comets
in 1889 more than hundred million

ness of having fought valiantiy for the
establishment Of his rights. The fu-
= ture historian of electrical science will,
: no. doubt, do justice to Mr.. Melon
Ongh, yet before speaking of other &C.
complishments of the same gentleman
the writer has thought it advisable to
refer to him primarily as the originator
of the telephone.
But not only in the field of electricity
has Mr.. McDonough attained distinc-
ton. The art of photography, many
years ago, found in him an earnest
= devotee and student. In the early days
of the war he was attached to the Els
worth zouaves, among whose prominent
members was one of Chicagos most pro-
gressive photographers. At this time,
while looking at the exhibit in this
friends gallery, he conceived the idea
of the possibility of photographing in
colors. From a pastime his researches
evolved into science; and then hap
Jgoened one of the most remarkable
fittings ever recorded, and one which
: more than anything he has done since
testifes to the unique mental qualities
of the inventor.
On the way to and from his daily toll
he had to cross the Chicago river, a
stream then already famous for the
thickness of the scum gathered on it's
surface and the putrescent odors ema-
mating from its waters Pedestrians by
the thousand would run across the
bridge, holding handkerchiefs to their
nasal appendages to escape from the
foul smells of the river; but one even
ing Mr.. McDonough peeped over the
z railing of the bridge and was charmed
, with the brightness of the colors sent
out by the scum on the filthy water.
SOn the next day he looked at the same
spot from different point of view and
could discover nothing but the i'll
smelling retirement floating lazily in
the morning breeze. For some weeks
he continued his observations and then
concluded that the principle of inter-
ference of light could be applied to
photography and that with it's aid the
prismatic colors could be reproduced at
viii in all kinds of pictures. Without
delay he began to make experiments
along this line of reasoning, working
: off and on from 1865 to 1881 to perfect
( mis- idea. In the latter year he APP
piled for a patent ON his invention.
After years of toll he had succeeded in
making colored pictures which, as he
himself says, were not satisfactory, how
ever. If they were held al the correct
angle they showed colors; if not they

Lepers In the World.

According to Mulhall, leprosy is far
more prevalent in Europe than most
people suppose. He says that there
are now 5000 lepers in Portugal; 1,77O
in Norway; 5000 in Russia, and about
1000 all told in other European coun-
tries. In India there are 131, 900, and
in Canton, China, not less than 10000.
He does not give figures for other
countries and islands, but it is esti-
mated that the leper population of the
world is but little, if any, short of a
million
