It is announced by the French Aead-
envy of Sciences that IL is possible to
photograph through so-calied opaque
bodies with ordinary lights. A kero-
sene lamp will do IT. NJ. Lebon asserts
that he has taken photographs in this
manner for several years. He proceeds
as follows: ''Inside a box with rather
thin sides. he places sensitized plate.
Behind the negative in front OF the bo,
be places an iron plate. and on the
other side OF the plate lamp. After
three hours exposure an image is
found. On development this image Is
indis,inct. but II sheet OF lead b,

posure is quite distinct. This expert.
ment cannot be accounted for on exist

tanned that the image is not due to any
phosphorescent light which might have
been stored up in the negative. The
experiment will not succeed II heat

A Matter OF Nose.

In spite Of the important place
given to the nose AS an index of
character there is but little to be
learned from it in estimating the
causes of an innate bond between
the mind and the features. Most of
the correspondence which have
been remarked appear to DO of a
radical order, but why a Roman
nose first became associated with q
warlike and domineering disposition
or how long and thin nose became
linked with business prudence is
more than | can say.
If We omit tho changes which take
place in a nose during the lifetime
of its posscSsor, thore is scarcely g
nasal popularity of value to the
physiognomist which at the same
time is cosmopolitan. No Tartar OF
Hottentot, however warlike, could
give proof of it in this way. Japa1
has shown that she possesses plenty
of men with military aptitude, bu
no Wcllingtonian nose can be found
within her borders. Again, no Chi
nese nose is long and thin, yc
John is not without n certain
aptitude at driving bargains. -

greatest living English poet whose
name the reader must be left to fill

and saved him with his eloquence.
One man Of genius, Mr.. Whistler

not. Then and not till then the irate
