QUIcKER'N A WINK.


While You Wait.
About two years Julius Gregory. Of
San Francisco. undertook the con-
structiOn Of an apparatus which. with
q simple Photographic adjunct, would
make possible the feat of transferring
to railway ticket the portrait Of each
purchaser while he Is paying the clerk
for his transportation. Success attend
ed his efforts-that is. so far as the
simple mechanism is concerned. 1t re-
NAMED for Frank Devay to perfect the
machine. This required series OF
baths for developing solution, an ar
ransement to insure proper INNER
sions OF the ticket in its baths and q
novel fash-light attachment. The
tickets used must be of special manu-
facture, two inches Of the end Of each
being Of sensitized material, which
must be kept in light-tight paper case.
A purchaser presents himself at the
window and asks for a ticket. The
senitized end. with its paper covering.
is slipped into frame. The whole Is
then inserted in the slot at the top Of
the machine. The operator presses q
spring, a percussion cap explodes.
igniting fash light, the lens covers,
shutting almost instantly, and in the
twinkling of an eye the picture is being
automatically developed. The explo-
sion Of the flash light sets the machine
ry in operation. an elevator draws the
ticket down. leaving the light-tight
case behind. to a point where the first
bath meets 1t. This bath is filled with
developing solution. The first bath
then gives place to the second. As
these baths recede they empty into the
lower tank. where the development Is
complete. The elevator then returns
the ticket to the slot and the operator
pulls it out and presents it to the pur-
chaser. The whole process occupies
less than minute. Thus the ticket L.
made absolutely non-transferable.

In their habits, they are nevertheless
intelligent, crafty. thievish and re-
vengeful, and they are said. when do
mesticated. to make excellent and
faithful servants. The men wear no
clothing but loin band, and the
women wear small skirt. They are
mostly small Of stature and their hair
and skin are intensely black. the
former being closely frizzled. Some
visitors have described these people as
the most savage, brutal and degraded
race on earth, but this opinion is per-
haps too severe. Although cannibals,
they are by no means degraded as
compared with other savage races. They
had acquired in the process Of their
development and before coming in con-
tact with Europeans a knowledge OF
various simple arts, several of which
they practiced with remarkable skill.

setting arms and legs with bamboo
splints. They have also obtained some
knowledge of dentistry, though their
treatment of a patient is somewhat of
a heroic character.
A protectorate was established over
the entire group in 1893. The British
government thus acquired total area
of seven or eight thousand square
miles and a population of about $4,000
savages, the greater part of whom were
cannibals. At the time of the estab-
lishment of the protectorate the chief
of the island of San Christoval, one of
the most cannibalistic of the lot, was
one Taxi, converted man-eater,
whose picture is given herewith.
Contrary to the general impression,
the practice of cannibalism has by no
means been extinguished. It has been

lection The admiral has displayed
commendable energy in his effort to
punish the horrible offenders, and, ac-
cording to the latest reports, has en-
parked on board of the frst-class
cruiser Orland with the purpose Of
Smelling the savage hamlets and dwell
lings along the coast. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether much will be ac-
complished by this line of procedure
as the savages are accustomed to re-
treat to the interior while the firing is
going on, and, by the deftness and
treachery of their movements, they
have often been known to seize stray
Cling boatloads of the whites as they
visited the shore and to make off with
them in triumph. Very few of these
unfortunate captives have ever been
seen again. According to the usual
practice Of the Solomon islanders, they

The latest white victims of the saw
ages were the ships company of the
Sydney trading schooner Amelia. Capt.
D. Kerr, his mate, Samuel Smith, and
eight or ten men. They sailed in the
schooner Amelia from Rubiana in the
middle Of last April and have since
been missing under circumstances that
leave no question as to their fate The
British naval officers in the vicinity
are naturally enraged over the miser-
able destruction of these sailors, and
it is probable that swift vengeance will
be taken upon the cannibals If they fall
into the clutches of the whites. When
in May, one Nathaniel Wheatley, of
that place. organized a search for
them and succeeded in picking up the
deck-house, the matches and other
parts of the Amelia. but every one of

A Dainty for Dogs.

The "piece de resistance" of an cpl
curean dog is horse hoof pairing, as any
blacksmith will explain. That is one
reason that a passing dog likes to
drop into blacksmith shop. 1t Is
said also that the parings are healthful,
and a Chicago fancier makes it his
business to give his dogs treat in this
way once week. Blacksmiths say
that visiting dog will always first
pick out the parings Of the frog" and
will leave out the harder portions till
the last.

Of all the husbands at a certain fashion

and blue ribbons? The men thought
she dressed so simply, and one husband
ventured to suggest to his wife that
she go and do likewise" instead Of
buying expensive gowns. She took his
advice, and he became a sadder and
wiser man when the laundry bills came
in.
