ns. dolly of Dublin Claims 20 Have Solved
the Interesting Problem.
DR.. Jolly Of Dublin at q recent soiree Of
the Royal society laid claim 10 the disoov-
cry Of the solution Of the problem Of
photography IN natural oolors. He exhib-
tied large number of Photographic trans
parencies upon glass plates, representing
verioIs objects in natural colors. That
every range Of color and texture would be
dealt with was evident upon an examina-
ton OF the subjects portrayed. A portrait
Of q gentleman seated ON garden seat
showed the flesh tints Of hands and face
with great naturalness. OF his straw hat
upon his knee the buff lining was partly
revealed within, as well as fnint green
reflection. On the rim where this caught
the green is light reflected from the foliage
among which he sat. All appeared to be
reproduced with the fidelity and realism
which characterize an image in a camera.
Pansies of brilliant yellow and brown,
deep purple, black, pale blue, snow white
and velvety brown, grouped in a painted
china vase, appeared with equal fidelity in
another picture.
Other pictures showed the exterior of a
red brick building of Trinity college, Dub
lin, frontcd by a lawn with hnwthorns and
above q pale blue sky. There was pro-
duction of water color drawing of an
Irish peasant girl wearing red kerchief
over blue dress, the warm and somewhat
sunburned flesh tints matching the orig
inal drawing with almost faultless fidelity,
the original being placed above for COM
parison. There were also delicatel| , col
ored Indian china and blue china lacquered
brass microscope, with highly rejecting
German silver and copper lacquered finish
ing, and thin green glass tumbler with
subtle plate Of green and yellow light. The
spectators naturally were amazed and de-
lighted by what they saw.
DR.. Jolly explained in general terms the
operations involved in the new method. A
transparent glass plate, which on first in
spection appears to bear a uniform tint
and to possess somewhat silky texture, is
placed in front of sensitive film and in
contact with it, when the latter is exposed
to the camera. An examination of this
plate with strong lens shows that it Is
not othomogeneous, but closely laid over with
fine, transparent lines of three different
colors, succeeding each other regularly
over and over and in close juxtaposition.
The plates shown at the Royal society
were divided to a flneness of 200 lines to
the inch. This is not sufficiently fine to
Obviate in some cases the linear texture
visible on near inspection Of the picture
ultimately extended. A fineness of 800
lines to the inch practically accomplishes
this, as was demonstrated on photograph
Of q group of wall flowers. The plate
which has been exposed under this screen
is developed in the usual manner.-Chi-
cago Chronicle
FoIIcn worship.
Among primitive races every fresh fe-
itch meets with consideration, for, though
1t may inspire nothing else, 1t inspires
fear. An exclamation heard at random, a ,
word neither understood nor sought to be
comprehended, will be repeated by saw
age, that, haply, it may bring him good
or avert from him evil fortune. 1t can do
no harm and may do good, like a paper
charm, or the "absit omen" of the Ro-
mans. Thus thinks doubtless the peasant
trudging from market in the west of Eng
land today, as she gives nine mods to the
new moon--a remnant of the worship of
Ashtaroth-or turns her purse in her pock-
ct "for luck"-a shred of sacrifice to the
fetich the purse contains, and which 1t
will be no harm to propitate provided she
can do so unobserved.
Yet what an insensate and cruel fetch IL
Is. So hard to come by, SO impossible to
keep! Now for few happy hours in her
pocket or the stocking or the old cracked
teapot-and now over the counter-never
resting in her work wearied, willing hands,
but nestling in, sticking to tho fingers Of
old Gaffer Grimes, who will guard it,
hoard it, treasure it, deny himself the
necessaries of life to increase the bulk of
his bloated fetich, and finally die misera-
BILE death of starvation, worth" we are
told, between 100000 and $40, 900. And
the fetch having slowly tortured his slave
to death, the tidings of his approach are
received with such a paroxysm of delight
by the next heir-his expectant host-that
1t is found necessary to shut him up, put
him into safe custody, lest his life go with
his reason.-Chambers' journal.
