Photogrsphing In the Dark.

Georges d'Infreville, an electrical en-
gineer and scientist of repute and re-
nown, Is at work on line of experiments
by which he says he will be enabled to
take photograph in absolute darkness
He writes to The Electrical Engineer Of
Now York that, In view of the discussion
about DR.. Roentgen's discoveries, no feels
that it Is now necessary for him to an
nounce to tho world what he hopes to soon
accomplish. 1t Is with great reluctance
he says, that now publish my claims to
q process for secretly photographing and
seeing objects at night or In darkness
without the use Of the we'll known flash
light. This process has engaged my at
tention for several years, and one of the
reasons have kept it almost exclusively
to myself and f6w trusted friends Is that
am still engaged In research In view of
useful additions to 1t. On the other hand,
the complete description Of the theory and
Of its practical application Is out Of the

DIR. johnson and Women's Dress.

1t was one Of DR.. johnson S peculiarities
that, whilo dressing like "a sloven, he con-
sidcred himself an infallible judge of what
ladies ought to wear. "No milliner of
Bond street." says Mr. Craik could be
more critical to detect the displacement of
a ribbon tho want of modishness in a cap,
or inharmonious coloring in IA dress" He
lecturcd Mrs Thrale on the subject, and
he lectured her friends and induced ono Of
them, who was dressed for church. not only
to change her hat and gown, but also to
thank him for his reproof, sit seems, :"
says Fanny Burncy THAT he always speaks
his mind concerning the dress of ladies'
and all ladies who are here obey his injunc-
lions implicitly and alter whatever no dis
approves. 4"
This was written at Strehtham but
Mrs Thralo's guests wero not always able
to satisfy the fastidious doctor. Ono young
lady, whose cap johnson called vilo failed
to win his approval when she had changed
it. Fanny's own cap was pronounced very
handsome, but her mother had to change
her gown because.it did not meet with his
approval and was then told that she should
wear not black hat and cloak in sum

will state, however, so as not to mis-
lead any one, that tho photographing or
seeing IN darkness does not give the same
result as In daylight when obtained by the
present well known means. Some parts
do not seem to appear rs well; some Others
seem to DO more visible; some features
which were entirely invisible in daylight
seem to BIO ouriously disclosed, even in
some cases when covered by other sub
stances. Electricity has not little TO do
with my process, but l would rather not
tell to what extent for the present. l may
conclude by reminding the reader that
many animals can SEQ in darkness. The
cat and Others Of tho feline family, tho
owl, the bat and even tho horse to some
extent are samples of 1t. Man has already
outdono animals in other respects. Why

Friends as Capital,

Friends represent capital to many men
in this town whose sources of income orc
not generally known. The man who
loudly calls for certain brand of cham
payne at his club, If he happens to have
one, and in all public places where wine
is served may cherish the conccit that his
friends don't know that no is paid to boom
this particular wine, but they do, because
thoro are so many of his kind about. An
other use has been made of acquaintance
and friends by man whose case Is now
under consideration in the Hotel Keepers
Protective association. This man onco
was interested in hotel in this city, and
no made 1t his business to make friends.
In recent years his friends have becn his
capital. He has selected guests for q hotel
on Union squa.o on percentage, and his
income has been regular. He received %
per cent of the amount of the bills of such
guests as he obtained for the house. Men
who had known him when he had q hotel
of his own knew that no always lived ut
this house and spoke Of it in tho highest
terms. If they were doubtful ms to what
hotel they should select, they sometimes
chose the one on Union square, that they
might meet their old friend. Ho was
ready to smoke a cigar with Them tell
them the news OF the town since their last
visit and mako them feel that they had at
least one DISTINGUISHED friend in this city
But the hotel and tho solicitor have had a
falling out, and the solicitor threatens to
send all his friends to some other house as
soon as he can make satisfactory terms for
a percentage. York Sun.
