1t was in the car of one of those
narrow-gauge railroads that penetrate
the wildS of the Maine woods. The
yelpS of the dogs in the baggage part
of the smoker brought the %conversa-
ton of the hunting party around to
pointers. Many wonderful tales of
these excellent animals had been told,
when an old veteran with grizzleu
whiSkers who had remained silent re-
marked:

A trap, not to catch wild animals, but
to catch pictures of them, is the latest
novelty in Photographic apparatus.
George Shiras. 4 son of Mr.. Justice
Shiras, of the United States supreme
court, is the inventor of this idea.
Mr.. George Shiras is an ardent lover
of nature. He makes trips into the big
game country OF the West. But on
such occasions his weapon is the cam
era not the rifle.
The invention which Mr.. Shiras has
patented is at ono very simple and in
gcniOuS.
The camera as shown in the picture,
is set by one of the paths through the
woods made by bear, elk and deer GO
in to the water courses before day
break and again in the evening.
A string is stretched across the path
and fastened to the trap. When the
animal strikes it the camera is uncov-
cred and the spring shutter discharged,
giving an instantaneous exposure on
the plate.
At the same moment a f1aSh-llght
cartridge cXplodes, and the mirror
which is fixed in the underside of the
trap throws the glare of light upon the
astonished anunal.-Chicago Inter-
Ocean.

This is how it happened. A few
months ago | was taking a walk along
the Rhine. l sometimes like to visit
the places frequented by tourists, as
well as the more remote localities, On
this particular evening | started after
dinner to walk from Boppard to st.
Goar. The road between the two
towns mostly runs along the edge of
the water, although it sometimes
crosses the railway. but usually gets
back as quickly as possible to its
place between the river and the rails.
1t was a beautifully clear moonlight
night, and it must have been some
where near half-paSt 10 o'clock when
| came around the bend of the river
below st. Goar, and saw the moor
beams strike the old castle of Rhein-
felS which stands so maiestically above
he town, turning the walls of the an
cient castle into pure white marble.
1t was a striking scene; the moonlight
glittering on the water; the opposite
hills in deep shadow, while the ven
cradle castle stood out far above me
like some creation of T%airyland. AS |
neared the entrance to the town | sa
half a dozen men or more standing to-
gether Oh the road in the moonlight.
Coming closer to them, one man stood
out in advance of the others and said:
Pardon me, but have you ever
been in st. Goar before?'
II answered that l had passed it
both by rail and by steamer, but that
| had never been in the village itself.
"'That is enough said my inquis-
itor; then turning to the others, who

HIDDEN JEWELRY IN INDIA.
The Fayorite Method OF
Escaping the Tax-Gatherer

Escaping the Tax-Gatherer
Never during its existence has
India been so rich in jewelry as now.
h people are always adding to their
stock. Savings from nearly all sources
are disposed of in this way. and these
savings are being constantly made
often at the expense of clothing.
sometimes at the expense of greater
necessaries Of life. The making and
the storing ava of wealth in this
form is the national popularity of the
country.
Jewelry is regarded as the most
stable kind of wealth, and fortunes
are never counted without estimating
the value of the stock of iewelry. 1t
can always be pledged or disposed of.
The market for its sale is never closed
and never depressed. The most ignOr-
ant native who wishes to sell a piece
Of ieWelry know it's market value
quite ell. He car scarcely be cheat
ed.
Jewelry forms the greatest factor
in matrimony. The most lowly bride
has her Stridhan, which is occasion
ally equal in value to five years i'll
come of the bridegroom. There is
often a scarcity of clothing. some
times a scarcity of cooking pots, gen
orally not a particle of furniture, but
nearly always a stock of jewelry. The
wife that has no jewelry possesses
nothing else; she "a not be robbed,
The family that does not have iewelry
is absolutely INDECENT.
One of the greatest boasts of the
.iewelry owner is that his boards can
not be taxed. A man may w jew
elry value at IA lakh of rupees and
pay no income tax. This is a source
of great satisfaction. Jewelry yields
no recurring income, but it is priced
more than government paper. If it
never increases it never diminishcs
is Il national saying. common among
men and women alike. No native
marriage, except among the most i'm.
poverished. takes place without 4

GeIatine I'm Sfatuette Moldtnr.


1t has been found that gelatine pos
sesses the curious property of becom-
ing insoluble in contact with formic
aldehyde, and, at the same time, OF
preserving perfect. transparency. In
this form it resistS water. acids and
alkalies. 1t resembles c%elluloid, but
has the great advantage of not being
intlammable. 1t gives excellent molds
of statuettes, seals. coins. etc. For
this purpose two pounds of good white
gelatine should be stepped over night
In a quart of water. The next day the
whole is melted over a water bath. For
delicate holdings the solution is di-
luted with a little water. The mold,
which may be of plaster. clay or metal,
having been prepared, the formic aide
hyde is poured into the melted and
slightly cooled gelatine. After being
well stirred with a wooden spatula the
homogeneous mixture il poured into
the mold and allowed to cool. The OBJ
iect, when taken from the mold, is fin
ished by immersing it for Il few mo-
mpntS in q concentrated solution OF
formic aldehyde. or, if it is too large
for immersion in this solution. its sur
face is painted Herewith. The gela-
tine alone gives Il transparent sub
stance, resembling glass. but by pre-
yiously adding to it some finely sifted
zinc white, mixed with a little water
and alcohol, beautiful limitations of
white marble may be obtained. In the
same way all kinds of colors. veins,
striae. spots. etc, may be produced by
Incorporating appropriate tints with
the oxide. The solicited gelatine may
be used for initiating mother-of-pearl,
torquoise shell, amber, coral, etc.. and
for the manufacture of toys and artif'
cial flowers.

The Poplar Tree as "a Lightning
Conductor.

A careful examination of the trees
that are struck by lightning shows that
oycr half of them are white poplar.
From this fact scientists conclude that
the poplar has some value as a CON
ductor of lightning. This being the
case, agriculturists are advised to
nIaut these trees in the vicinity of
their farm t%undings. An additional
suggestion is the attaching of light
ming rods to two or three of the taliest
of these trees. This will. it is stated,
almost absolutely insure n~eighborins

stroyed by electric storms.
