Whatcom Reveille: The result OF yes-

not be acceptable to all; the country will
progress under policies whose wisdom

too young and virile TO be exhausted even

PHOTOGRAPHING IN COLoRs.

PhotOgraphing in colors has been the
artists dream since picture-makins
was in les infancy, and although there
have been several successful expert
ments. they have been either limited In
their range or so elaborate, complicated
and expensive that they were not at all
worth while But a new discovery,
practical and without TOO much compli-
cation. is likely to rev0lu1onize tht
photographers art.
A distinguished French experiment.
er has has succeeded in fixing upon
sensitive plate all the hues Of nature,
in whatever form they may be present.
ed. Even minor tones and tints are
perfectly reproduced. To achieve this
result, the artist places a mirror made
o. mercury behind the thin, transpar.
ent gelatin film of The plate. Light, as
used in photography rushes through
the camera at the rate Of one hundred
and eighty-six thousand miles in sea
ond. While it leaves traces OF lie
power in the form of the Photographic
picture. il leaves them only in hight and
shade. II is coloFless, because tina
forms of the light-waves are not detect.
ed. The mirror stops the rays OF light
reflects them. and in this way renders
the vibrations practically stationary.
thus they leave their impress upon each
separate shade and color, the film re-.
mains transparent and the irr5descenf
tints are like those on a soap bubble, or
the beautiful white Of the mother-of-
pearl shell. The artist showed a nums
Der of pictures by electric light, and
proved that this process, although eX-
tremly simple. was not only effective
but reliable-Exchange

A DELAYED CEREMONY.

A colored man about 80 years Of age
drove up to the Depot with a load OF
baled cotton, and he had just begun to
unload when an old gray-haired negro
with bad limp came down the street
and shouted at him:

procession. to carry wraps for all the

the sweets. Twenty young people can
eat great deal in bicycling tour Of
whole day; and one of the hampers
had mid-roure luncheon for eating at
ten mile halt. Another had lunch
con to be eaten on the way home at

the piclickers went for health aad fun,
they were provided with all the things

wise connecting rods that attach the
wheels, and the spectacle of two wheels
bound together by two slender iron rods
is not an unusual thing to those who
drive along country roads.
The bicycle picnic would have been
called by Ward McAllister a bicycle
subscription picnic. He began the
subscription picnics, as they are still
carried Oh in certain elegant summer
locations, but the bicycle picnic came
later than he. That he would have de-
lighted in it is shown by the fact that
his daughter is an ardent cyclienne.
A fifty-mile run is not considered too
much for party of picnickers. They
go twenty-five miles out and twenty-five
miles back and call it a half-century
run. They start at daylight and have
their hampers packed for them over
night. In the barn, like champing
steeds, stand the machines, harnessed
two and two, and between them hangs
the hamper Il can be as heavy as you
wish, for its weight is not felt in the
double swing of the wheels.
The beautiful asphalt pavements, laid
now far out into the country for the
benefit of Wheelmen, are the ones pat
ronized for the picnic start. Then at the
first crossroads there is turning into
the country A machine that measures
speed tells when the twenty-five miles
is reached, and there the picnic is held.
A subscription picnic means that
each pays a proportionate part OF the
expense, like an old-fashioned Dutch
treat. If one person takes charge OF the
matter, the money is given to that

Between the ten double wheels OF

One was packed with ice from the ice

was packed in newspapers and placed
in a gossamer waterproof. 4 nice, little

Another hamper had that desire OF

"By the gods, Mariah" exclaimed the

whole west side was once more plunged
