AN INGENIOUS PICTURE.

1t Shows the Head of n Living Person Ap-
parently Bolt Upright on q Plato.
Ono of tho latest tricks is to photograph
living head on plato. The delusion is
merely Photographic ono Photographs
taken in this way show the head of liy-
Ing person resting on plate which forms
part of tho furnishing Of dinner table
The object is not ut all growsome. In fact,
1t preserves IN absolute lifclike appear
ance Tho contrivanco for bringing about
this remarkable delusion Is SO simple that
any ono may arrange it 1t is only neccs-
sary to remove tho central leaf Of an ordi-
nary extension table and to provide plate
or pan cut away so that it may DO con-
venicntly placed around tho neck. Tho
person to be photographed is seated under
tho table SO that the head appears Just
above tho table top. Tho cloth and tho
ordinary dinner set arc then arranged in
the usual way. Pho head is put through
holo in tho cloth. and tho plato or dish is
placed closely about tho neck OF course
tho dclusion Is heightened by the camera
Any ono would recognize tho deception at
n glance, but tho camera secs it with n
moro partial eye Pictures mado in this
manner have often been extremely puz-
cling.
The trick of photographing q fly or an
ant in such way that it looks like some
gigantic monster Of prehistoric times Is
also very simple. Tho eye estimates sizes
wholly by comparison. We judge tho sizo
Of unfamiliar objects by comparison with
moro familiar ones. Tho moon, for exam
pie, appears very much larger as it rises
above the housctops than when it is direct
iy overhead. 1t is only necessary to set q
miniature church about IN inch in height
beside an ordinary fly in order to show, in
the photograph ut least, strange, fierce
animal as large as cable car. Tho camera
by reproducing only tho two objects makes
1T impossible to estimate the actual sizo of
either of them. This same principle has
been applied successfully in photographing
snakes and fishes An ordinary ground
worm three or four inches in length has
been made to appear like an enormous py-
thon. 1t is only necessary to twine this
worm about tiny toy fence and photo
graph it in order to produce an illusion
which it is impossible to detect. NEW

BISMARCK's sTRATEGEM

While Bismarck was living at Frank
fort, early in his career, he was one day
ut II public table with u friend when two
young ladies who sat opposite began talk
ing to each other in the Lettish language.
From their manner it was evident to Bis
marck that they were talking about him.
1t happened tina, he~had once made a
visit to CORTLAND, one of the Baltic Pro-
vinces, and had picked up u few Lettish
phrases. When the ladies had talked and
laughed for some time, therefore, he
whispered to his companion:
"The moment | say something to you
in an unintelligible tongue, take key
from your pocket and hand it to me-
The young ladies kept on, and suddenly
Bismarck said in an ..unconcerned tone to
his friend:
''Dohd man to azlek."
The second man at once produced n key.
The young ladies from Courtland looked
Mt their opposite neighbors, then ut each
other, and, blushing violently, rose and
left the room.

Forcing the English Language.

Philologists assume too much. They do
not mako language. They only trace its
development. Nor is language as arbi-
trary system, however logical and exact.
1t is growth, like freedom, from precc-
dent to precedent No doubt much of the
opposition to the changes suggested by the
philologists may be largely due to prc;u-
dice. Tho eye shrinks from unaccustomtd
forms. Even so, the argument against
these changes is sufficient for if the preju
dice exists then no amount of reason can
avail. People will not spell in the ere
formed fashion, though prominent editors
and authors try to make them. We do los
think that it is all prejudice. There is
such thing as taste, and taste would be
sorcly offended by page of print after the

teries of the hymn book We're also ex-
planned, and the early sullenness of
many auditors because of enforced
chapel attendance finally gave way to
actual interest in the novelties being
unfolded
The two first years at the University
of Chicago are known officially as the
junior colleges and this was the first
trial of a new scheme to compel this
contingent to attend weekly assemblies
at which is read a religious service.
The orders for the new scheme We're

but pithy dissertation of instruction
Then the other black gowned instruc-

President Harper told the students
that the exercises were not essentially
a chapel service. The session was to
be opened with religious services, but
a main idea of the meeting was to pro-

Il would say that under the old law,
Illegal traffic in liquor on Sundays was

According TO his best information. he
continued, there are now over 1000
Raines hotels in Brooklyn, and in his
opinion the police and magistrates in
Brooklyn are too lenient with excise Of
tenders because Of their desire to pOpu-
larize themselves with the SalOon-keeperS
and so-called general public.
a very bad feature of the present law
is that it has opened from 500 to 1, 600 no
tells in Brooklyn which are used almost
entirely as places of designation

mOny that was in direct conflict with that

ton, but on the contrary We know of
many disOrderly houses with the former
