Tho southeastern portions Of Shade and
Stony Creek townships, Somerset county,
are located in part Of the Allegheny
mountains almost unknown, save to a few
of the hardy mountaineers who occasion
ally invade their fastncss in search of
game. The scenery is beautiful and offers
to the artist and ndmirer of the beautiful
in nature rich and almost unexplored
field. Being remote from railroads and sell
dom visited by any one save the few plain
country folk who live near its borders, its
great beauty and grandeur have not become
generally known. The landscape painter
could here find abundant inspirations
among the rocky peaks or deep gulches
that would far surpass anything found
along Paint creek. From the towering
peaks can be seen the receding ranges of
half dozen spurs OF the Allegheny noun
tains while deep down in the gulches where
the sun $ rays never pierce the dense hem
lock and pine foliage the mountain streams
murmur among the rocks OF fall in show
or of diamonds from the cliff above. With
in this region are situated the legendary
Burket gold mine and the nickel mine
which few years ago became famous ons
account of the alleged driving away Of its
operators by numerous spuoks and witches
which the mai ives claim iufest that portion
Of the Alleghanies. -JOhnstown (PB-)

Professor MaeGunn gives me the follow
ing:
My informant was, when youth, of a
literary turn and contributed to newspa-
pers and periodicals under the signature Of
Heather. In this way certain small sums
came into his possession, and wishing to
commemorate his pleasant successes, he
spent the money, or some of it, upon a
signet ring. This he had made according
to design Of his own, and, among other
unique devices, there was engraved the
word Heather. One day its owner went
TO battle on the shores of the Clyde, and
before entering the water he took off his
ring and placed it on rock beside his
clothes. On his way home he, remember
ing that he had forgotten to put on his
ring, hurried back in full expectation of
finding it where it had been left. He was
quite certain he knew the exact spot where
1t had been laid and had little fear that in
SO unfrequented place any one could
have discovered it. But the ring was gone,
and, search as he may, not trace could be
found of it.
Years afterward among the letters
that had reached his office there was one
from Australia, sealed with wax. On
looking at the seal he was filed with as
constituent at seeing the impression of his
own lost signet ring. Excited and inter
ested, he at once wrote to his friend in
Australia. In duo time the answer came.
His friend told him how, somewhere up
country, in a remote region, he went into
a store to write his letter or to add some
thing to what had already been written.
Upon finishing it he was making some
awkward attempt to improvise a seal |
when man quite @ stranger to him |
thrust his hand into his pocket, pulled out |
0 signet ring and said, There, try thatr /
Having sealed the letter with the ring, he /
handed it back This was all, and 10 fur
ther light has ever been thrown upon the
story Of the ring or its possessor. ''-Good
Words.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
DR.. Jolly Of Dublin Claims to Have Solved
the Interesting Problem.

tne interesting f'fpbitulf
Dr. Jolly Of Dublin at a recent soifee Of
the Royal society laid claim to the discoy-
cry of the solution Of the problem Of
/ photography in natural colors. He exhib-
tied a large nuIaber Of Photographic trans
parencies upon glass plates, representing
various 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 a gentleman seated on garden seat
showed the flesh tiuts OF hands and face
with great naturalness OF his straw hat
upon his knee the bun lining was partly
revealed within, as well as faint green
reflection. On the rim where this caught
the green is light reflected from the foliage
among which no sat All appeared to be
reproduced with the fidelity and realism
which characterize an image in camera.
Pansies Of brilliant yellow and brown,
deep purple black, pale blue, snow white
and velvety brown, grouped in 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, fronted by lawn with hawthorns and
above o pale blue sky. There was pro-
duction of a 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 o delicately col
Ored Indian china and blue china lacquered
brass microscope, with highly rejecting
German silver and copper lacquered finish

subtle plate of green and yellow light. The |
spectators naturally We're amazed and do |

DR.. Jolly explained in general terms the /
operations involved in the new method A 1
Transparent glass plate, which on first in
spection appears to bear uniform tint /
and to possess a somewhat silky texture, is |
placed in front of a sensitive film and in |

plate with a strong lens shows that it is
not homogeneous, but closely laid over with

papers of a recently deceased member Of
the official household Of Emperor Viii

of living at that time. In 1851 William,
then prince Of Prussia, with a suit Of
six companions, stopped at the inn. The
lodging for the company amounted to -

was more expensive, however, Breut-

dish of milk was 1 cent, three eggs for 1

lodging, breakfast and dinner for the
party amounted to forms and 25
