NEWSPAPER PICTURES.
How New Discoveries Have Reduced the
Cost of Illustration.

TEIom an Address by Charles A. Dana.
Another interesting question is the
illustrations, the pictures. You have
noticed, of course, that all the news
papers now abound in pictures, and
there is no newspaper SO poor that it
can't print just as many pictures as it
likes Twenty years ago, if we wanted
to print the portrait of any distinguished
man, Senator Hill or Mr.. Cleveland for
instance, why, we had first to get pho
tograph, then we had to get draughts-
man, then a wood engraver, and then
after the engraving was cut in the wood,
we had to have stereotype made of it
before we could print it. 1t was very
expensive operation. I should think, to
make good and adequately extensive
portrait of Mr.. Cleveland, after the old
fashion, would cost $40 or so; while now,
such is the progress of the practical
sciences and arts. we don't need to have
wood engraver at all. You don't even
need draughtsman. You put your
photograph by msans of the photograph
ic camera on zinc plate, which is pre-
pared for the purpose you requlte.
That is, it is covered with a gelatinous
aud sensitized substance sufficiently
thick for the purpose. On that you put
your photograph, and then you apply
an acid which eats the features of Mr..
Cleveland and his noble figure into the
zinc plate; and there it is finished Tor
you, without hand touching it, except
i n removing it from one plate to the
other and all you have to do is to screw
it upon wooden block. and the thing
is done And what is more, instead of
it's costing you $50 or $40, the finished
picture costs you 81. 25. This is the age
OF experiment, and as I said of revolu-
ton also. You can afford great many
pictures, and some of the most impor-
tant newspapers of the country devote
themselves to fancy pictures. They
have even gone so far as to invent press
W hich prints pictures in different colers,

So far as any definite objection to the
proposed street commission appeared at
the hearing on Monday night it was to
it's character rather than to the idea. AT
any rate that was the chief point made
by the Hon. George P. Wescott, who
furnishes the brains of the opposition.
Mr.. Wescott appeared to be perfectly will
ing that legislation should be had which
will give the appointment of city engineer
and street commissioner to the Mayor,
and thus put that official practically in
control of the street department., but the
three headed commission he does not be
leve in. Now this plan strikes us by no
means unfavorably. he advantage of
the commission plan over the old plan
was largely that it tended to concentrate
the responsibility for the management
of the street department. Mr.. Wescott's
plan tends, it seems to US, TO concentrate
it still more 1t substitutes one man
power for three men power. We have all
along imagined that there was SO much
it was only possible to get to it by grad
ual advances. But if Mr.. Wescott is in
favor of it the people from whom the
most opposition was to be expected
and over whom his influence is
great, will be likely to take to it kindly,
and a form of street management,
which we believe is the ideal one. may
be secured at once. 1t sometimes
happens, however. that when thing is
close to realization, men are not quite
so much in favor of 1t as they tho ught
they were when it was way off. Near
ness removes the enchantment. We
should like to see the experiment made
Of presenting bill for the endorsement
of the city council, which gave the Mayor
absolute control of the street department.
We should like to see if some alderman
who had been favorable to the plan
when it was matter of mere specula-
ton interest. would not discover that
his constituents were opposed to it, and,
for that reason, that he could not vote
for it without violating his obligations
to the dear people.

CAPT. DEERING AND FREE SHIPS.

At the meeting of the Board of Trade
on Monday Capt. John W. Deering read
what appears to have been carefully
prepared argument in favor of reversing
the policy OF hundred years, and allow
ing American citizens to purchase ships
abroad and put them under the Ameri-
can flag. In this way, and this way
only, Capt. DeeIing believes our shipping
interest can be revived. The question
which the captain discusses is pending
now before Congress, and is one in
which this state is peculiarly interested.
The action of the Board of Trade,
though technically not an endorsement
of the free ship bill, was tantamount to
that, and will be so construed all over
the country. So far as the action was
the result of argument it was the result
of the argument of Capt. John ". Deer
ing for he was the only speaker on that
side of the question. Hence it is peril
nent to examine that argument. To
large extent Mr.. behring's appeal for
free ships was based upon the assumption
that it was free ships that built up
England's merchant marine and COLI
tributed largely to her commercial su-
premacy. 1t was an appeal to the United
States to follow England's example.
b 1t is familiar fact of our commercial
history that in the forties our merchant
marine made enormous strides-strides
so enormous that the British became
alarmed for their commercial supremacy,
and Parliament appointed commission
to devise some plan of ayerting the i'm
pending disaster. The commission re-
ported in 1919 in favor of allowing Brit
ish subjects to purchase ships wherever
they could buy than the cheapest and

Cleveland had many callers yesterday,

the attitude he had assumed in his

a suggestion of any abatement of our

side of the boundary to be defined by
our own commission, the president
has left no avenue for retreat, it is
still confidently believed here that the
difficulty can and will be settled
peaceably and with honor to all PAR
ties concerned. This belief is based
upon the expectation that Great Brit
ain, as Lord Salisbury has indicated
in his last note, will re-establish
diplomatic relations with Venezuela.
As the revolution in that country has
been quelled and the internal peace
Lord Salisbury demanded as condi-
ton to resumption of Venezuelan
negotiations is restored, he will treat
the subject it is believed, and as he
practically promises in his note, in a
more compliant spirit than the British
government has exhibited heretofore
in the negotiations, and thus speedily
reach an arrangement satisfactory to
Great Britain and Venezuela, and SO,
as natural result, acceptable to the
United States.
In this way Great Britain would
avoid any concession of the right of
third party to interpose and likewise
escape an admission of the accepta-
bility or applicability of the Monroe
doctrine. It is entirely probable that
Great Britain will abstain from pre-
senting any evidence in support of her
title to the commission, for by SO doing
she would admit our right to inter
pose, which is the vital point in the
controversy, so that the commissions
report is likely to fall subject to the
same criticism that Lord Salisbury
applied to Secretary Olney's statement,
namely, that it is ex parte and based
entirely on the Venezuelan records.
One source of present danger which
gives some apprehension to the ele-
ment that looks for peaceful solution
of the problem lies with the Venezue-
lans themselves, as it is feared that,
carried away by en- husiasm, they may
be led to attack t. British outposts
