circles as cook. and some two years ago
she entered the service of the defendant.
on May 18th she was ordered by Mr. Sui
ivau TO cook some potatoes. but as they
were for the fowls she declined. She was
then told 10 pack up her clothes and leave.
Defendant refused TO pay her one months
salary IN lieu OF notice.
The Begistrar-What is your point?
Mr. Eldridge submitted that it was an
unlawful order. Some few weeks pre-
viously a similar application had been
made TO plaintiff. when she refused. but
10 was then explained that this would be
the only occasion and she then consent
ed. ON May nth. a quantity Of potatoes
were sent up 10 her 70 cook for the fowls.
Mrs. Weber al once Informed defendants

PHOTOGRdPHfNG THOUGHT.
DIR. Bai aduc Announce, His Success and
Shows the Plates

1t may be rash TO pronounce that any
thing is beyond the photographers art.
But the communication just made 20 the
Paris Academic de Medicine by Or
Baraduc. is so astonishing that If he had
made IL before Dr. ROentgen had rendered
his discovery public, very few people
would have been inclined even 10 inquire
into the matter. Indeed. Dr. Baraduc
aiirms he has succeeded in Photographers
thought. and he has shown numerous
photo graphs in proof of his assertion.
His usual method Of proceeding is sim
pie enough. The person whose thought
is 10 be photographed enters a dark
room. places his hand on Photographic
plate. and thinks intently Of the object
the image Of which he wishes to see pro-
duced 1t is stated by those who have
examined Or. Baraduc's photographs that
the most Of them are very cloudy. but
that a Few are comparatively distinct
representing tho features OF persons and
the outlines Of things. Dr. Baraduc goes
further. and declares that It is possible
TO produce n Photographic image at a
great distance.
In his communication 10 the Academic
De Medicine ne relates thai Or. Istrate
when ne was going to Campana declared
he would appear on a Photographic plate
Of his friend. NJ. Hasden. M Bucharest.
on the 4th Of August. 1898, " Hasden at
Bucharest went TO bed with a photo
graphic plate as his feet and another at
his head. Iir. Tstrate went 10 sleep at
Campana, at distance Of about 80
kilometres from Bucharest. but before
closing his eyes he willcd with all his
might tina. his image should appear on
the Photographic plate Of his friend.
According 20 Or. Baraduc that marvel
was accomplished. Journalists who have
examined the photograph In question
state that It consists in a Kind Ct lumin-
Gus spot on the Photographic plate. In the
midst OF which can be traced the profile
OF a man. London Standard.
