The Thcntroernph.

The "theatrograpt" is the name Of an
ingenious modification of the kineto-
scope, which enables pictures to be
thrown life-size on a screen. BY a
simple piece of mechanism, the pic
lures are each brought into position
for a tenth of second, during which
time they are stationary. and the light
is cut off only during the very small
fraction Of second while the pictures
are being changed. Indeed, it is often
found unnecessary to cut off the light
at all. In this way sufficient light is
obtained to give bright reproduc-
tion on the screen, whereas. were the
pictures to move continuously, and the
light to be intermittent. as in the kline
toscope, the image would be hardly
visible. BY this apparatus the pos
SCISSOR Of any lime light or electric
lantern can project on the screen, in
view Of any number of spectators, any
subject containing moving figures,
which are represented in their natural
motions. The apparatus takes any
kaleidoscope film. 1t is constructed Of
steel, gun metal and aluminium, and it
is SO compact as to go between the
condenser and objective of an ordinary
lantern. A French apparatus, oper-
ating on almost similar lines, has been
exhibited with much success in Lon
don. In this device the photographs
had been taken on a continuous band
at the rate, it is said, Of 900 views per
minute, and by means of an electric
light these were shown life-size upon
q large screen ut exactly the same rate

duced almost perfect in its fidelity and

Scepage or Return Waters from Ir.
rigation,

rfgati0n.
Recently an exhaustive investigation
has been made into the subject Of
seepage, Of return waters from irriga-
ton, which shows that the actual
waste OF water is much less than has
been generally supposed. ]. d. Schuy-
Ter, who has studied the phenomena of
irrigation in many states, regards the
seepage In Colorado as much greater
and Of much more Importance than it
is In California, where such percola-
ton is known to occur. For instance,
the Santa Ana river is objected by
seepage from Riverside and San Bar
nardino Vallety, SO that the volume
Of supply for the Anaheim and Orange
canals below is rather increasing than
diminishing. The extent Of the return
however, is conjectural. In Italy, it
is generally estimated that from one
third to one-half the water applied to
the fields is absorbed by the earth,
and this, less the amount evaporated,
absorbed by vegetation and entering
into new organic compounds, returns
to the streams or descends to greater
depths. In Colorado O much smaller
proportion Of the water applied runs
off and much large proportions is alb
sorbed. In France, it has been found
that at least per cent Of the water
taken from river returned through
the seepage. Some years ago the peo-
pie owning water rights along the low.
er parts of some Of the Utah noun
tain streams imagined that the use of
the water by persons located some
distance above them would seriously
interfere with their rights and prove
very injurious to the land below, found
that their fears were in q great meas
IRE groundless. Indeed, it was proved
that free use of water in the early
summer on the upper lands insured

Care OF the Eyes.

Avoid "squinting."
Shade the eyes from the full glare Of
sunlight.
When Tie eyes are weak, sleep all
that is possible,
Keep soap and all patent eye washes
out Of the eyes.
AS you value your sight, avoid all
quack eye doctors.
Never read nor use the eyes for fine
work during twilight,
Whenever an eye is injured, call in
an experienced oculist at cnce.
Never expose the eye needlessly to
dust OF flying particles OF any kind.
Have au abundance of good, steady
light for any work you may have on
hand.
Let the light come to your eyes from
one side or from above, not from in
front.
Do not work in poor light, and
avoid Glaring light. us it may be as
bad us too little light.
Do not use a fickering light for
reading or sewing; use lamp with a
large burner, and use COOL oil.
When the eyes are hot and heavy,
bathe them in cold or tepil water, and
do not coniine them too closely to any
sort of work.
Whenever the eyes ache, or are cas-.
lily fatigued, use them as little as pos
sible, and look up frcm the work fre.
quently to rest them.
When reading, hold the head erect
and at distance from the light, and
do not bend the bead over the needle
work any more than is possible.
Avoid poorly printed books, with
poor paper and poor type, and do not
read when riding in the cars or car
riage, nor when walking nor when ly-
ing down, nor when conyalescent from
protracted illness, nor when the
whole body is in weakened state.

full of their kind. They sometimes
follow mans tracks across q desert
OF sand, even after wind storm, when
the tracks have become obliterated to
white mems eyes. They can follow at
break-neck speed on horse the trail
of man who has run in m mocasins and
taken pains to leave only the faintest
traces of his course. They see signs
of trail through cactus and sage
brush that no white man would recog-
nize.
After short period of more trail
ing and questioning of the few white
settlers in the region Elk1ns and Will
bur were located. Their hiding place
was thirty miles south from Benson,
among the granite foothills, where no
white man but they had probably ever
been. Indians were hired to go to the
spot, and to act as if they werc out
hunting and had unwittingly stumbled
upon the bandits. Then when the In
dians had engaged Elkins and Wilbur
in conversation they were to give q
signal. A posse of twenty men was to
ride at once to the scene. Each man
in the band was to take his chances of
getting shot by the robbers.
The plan worked well. The bandits
were asleep when the Indians came to
them one warm afternoon. The
Apaches asked for food, and while
Wilbur went to get knife to cut
slice from deer hanging in the mes
quite brush near at hand one of the
Indians, pretending to be interested
IN one Of the white strangers pistols,
discharged it. A few minutes later
the posse rode up pcll NELL from be-
hind low foothill that impeded the
view half q mile away.
"We're trapped we're trapped !"
shrieked Elkins as he jumped from his
couch of leaves and saw the horsemen
encircling about his hiding place.
In second lie aud Wilbur were be-
hind two great oaks, ana we're pre-
pared to fight for their lives. They
forgot the Indians ut their rear, and
no sooner had they turned their faces
toward the advancing posse than they
were shot dead in the back by the
Apache trailers.
There is good reason to believe that
if the men had been captured alive
they might have been induced to tell
where they had hidden the greater
part of their stolen money and gold.
for no one thinks that, living as they
did, they spent more than small part
OF their illgotten gains. Both the
robbers were buried whero they were
killed, and to this day there are peo.
pie who go out from the now WELL
populated town OF Benson every little
while to the scene of the old camp of
Elkins and Wilbur in the hope of find
ing the secret storehouse of stolen
riches among TIE hculders and foot.

Premature Taking on of a Piute.

Johnnie Cleveland, the Piute Indian
recently killed at Reno, New, was
looked upon as the coming chief, and
is being vigorously mourned. A sort
of tent has been erected especially to
mourn in, and here through the hours
sit dozen Indian women, their hair
disheveled and their faces painted
with black earth. The mourning
chant or wall is led by the aged
mother of Johnnie Cleveland. sShe sits
and runs her fingers through her long,
matted hair. She sways to and fro,
and at regular intervals commences in
a high key and walls down the whole
gamut, ending in almost gutteral
sounds. She commences the wall as a
solo, but when she gets about half way
through it the other squaws take up
the cry in the same note that she did,
only they howl in faster time than
their leader, aud the whole chorus
ends up the wall together. The effect
is combination of sounds more
hideous than anything civilized ears
ever hear. New Orleans Picayune.
