Is stated that Alvin Lawrence, Of Low
ell, Mass, has devised cheap and con
venient substitute for the costly "tcle
photo" 1t does not magnify more
than four or FIVE times each way, and
does not produce pictures of such
sharpness as the most exacting pho
tographer would require; nevertheless
it affords valuable improvement,
upon ordinary facilities enjoyed by
users of cheap cameras, and is there
fore deserving of notice. especially as
the inventor has not patented his plan.
and anybody may use it who has q
little mechanical skill and an opera
glass. One barrel Of the latter instru.
ment is used by Mr.. Lawrence in place
of the ordinary objective. 1t is not
necessary for this purpose to take the
glass apart. One eycpiece is set into q
socket against the opening in the
camera, and the other against the lens,
board. Hy rotating the glass the brace
connecting the barrels can be brought
down behind an arm, slotted TO re.
ceive the thumbscrcw bar. Care.
full adjustment is required in the
original arrangement, but afterwarl
it is the work of only an instant TO at.
tach this improvised ''telephoto," or to
remove it. However. it is intimated
that the opera glass is intended as a
substitute for, and not a supplement to.
the usual objective.
As will readily be seen. the enlarge
ment of image thus secured affords less
illumination, and hence requires an ex-
posture fifteen or twenty times as long
Moreover, much greater precautions
must be taken to keep the camera
steady while the lens is uncapped TO
prevent blurrlng.

ABOUT OCEAN WAVES.


they Are Said to Travel Aboat Twenty
Four Feet . Second.
DR.. G. Schott, as the result OF study.
ing the form and height of the waves
OF the sea. claims that under mod
crate breeze their velocity was GAG feet
per second, or l6.s miles an hour, which
is about the speed Of a modern sailing
vessel.
AS the wind rises the size and speed
of the waves increase. In q strong
breeze their length rises to eco feet and
their speed reaches $50 or ga feet per
second. Waves the period Of which is
nine seconds, the length 400 or 4a5 feet
and the speed IS nautical miles per
hour are produced onl. in storms.
During a southeast storm in the south
crn Atlantic DIR. Schott measured waves
$50 feet long; and this was rot a maxi.
mum, for in latitude % degrees south
and longitude 50 degrees east he OBJ
served waves Of fifteen seconds period,
which were f15O feet long. with a We.
locity Of 49, feet per second. or &c l-s
nautical miles an hour.
DR.. Schott does not think that the
maximum height OF the waves is very
great. Some observers have estimated
it at 80 or 20 feet in wind of the force
represented by eleven OH the Beaufort
scale (the highest number of which is
twelve); and DIR. Schott's maximum is
Just SO feet. He believes that in great
tcmpests waves of more than 60 feet
are rare and that even those Of so feet
are exceptional. In the ordinary trade
winds the height is or o feet. The
ratio Of height to length is about l.3s
i'm a moderate wind, LIS in a strong
wind and LII in storm, from which
it follows that the inclination of the
waves is respectively about q, 10. IL
degrees. The ratio of the height of
the waves to the force Of the wind
varies greatly.

A cloak that will go on easily and not
crush the frills and sleeves will delight
the little maid who is inclined to look
upon wraps as a nuisance. Light
weight cloth in q medium shade of old

concealing the yoke. Each rufflc is
edged with three rows OF Tom Thumb
velvet ribbon. A shirred black silk
hat with double frill of black chiffon
embroidered in old rose gives protec-
ton from sun and wind.
In wash dresses the array is even
more tempting. and surely the choice
among cotton strffs was never less linn
tied. Ginghams for morning and pref
ty striped or plain batistes or lowered
muslins for evening, with perhaps
white china silk and a white null for
extra occasions, are the selection of
sensible mothers, leaving the stiff ham
burgs, rustling with starch. and the be-
ribboned swisses over colored cambrics
to the woman with gaudy taste, who
thinks them real elegant" poor thing.
This is the woman who puts red en-
broidery around the legs Of her little

Sheer lawn in pink and white stripes
is the material employed in another de-
sign. This dainty gown is made in one
piece. A deep rui.ie of the lawn and a
narrower one of fine nainsool cmbroid-
cry are gathered very full around the
pulled yoke. and frill of the embroii-
cry finishes the neck and sleeves, which
are coat sleeve. with large puff
forming upper part. Two rows of in
serting give the short-waisted effect.
The sixth model will probably prove
the favoritc. as it is dainty, yet easily

is laid in fine cluster plaits. and forms

are sometimes confronted with this
difficulty. In order to place their in

ton to obtain the precise view they
want, they must be too far away.
Architectural decorations, inscriptions
on monuments, curious pieces of con.
struction. odd markings in a mountain
side. a delicate waterfall and similar
details arc utterly lost on the sensitive
plate under such circumstances. They
come out too small to be visible. Hence,
a few years ago the English lens maker
Dallmeyer and some other foreigners
attempted such a modification OF the
ordinary camera as would adapt 1t tc
long-distancc work. This object was
generally secured by placing an addi-
tional lens, which was concave, behind
the regular one; and sometimes sup

One girl who wrote to me recently

l don't know. 1t might be a placid
one, 1t might he respectable one. but
a marriage without love cannot be the
one for which you or I were intend
ed, writes Ruth Ashmorc in Ladies'
Home Journal. Comradeship and re-
spcct and thorough liking might be
all that were necessary during the sum
shiny days, but what would they
amount to when the gloomy days
came?
And do YOU think if man were try

trying to drive from his soul the demon
Of unbelief, that he would turn to the
good comrade for help? No; he would
go to the woman who loved him, and

When people are suffering, mentally
or physically, they do not turn for help
or sympathy to that one whose speech
is brilliant and witty and whose brain
IS strong, but they reach out, like . lit

best, and whose heart is OVERLOOKING
with sympathy and pity. Friendship
is q great blessing. but it cannot take
the place of love. And, if either man
or a woman marry, believing that q
friendly feeling will be sufficient In
their united lives, they surely in time
will realize only too sadly the posi-
bility of love coming to them. and the
dread of tragedy If he should BIO

YOU. my girl, in building up your life
you need as foundation for its shelter
