TRoLLEYs' FRANKS ON WATCHES
Many Watches Are Magnetized on
Trolley Cars.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
One of the worst enemies of good time
pieces is electricity. Next to letting a
watch drop out of ffth-story window
there is no surer way of demoralizing a
timepiece than to venture with 1t near
some powerful electro-generating machine
This danger has become so generally rec
ognized that in many large electrical
plants there are signs posted warning the
visitor, if he cares for his watch, to leave
it outside Yet there are hundreds OF peo-
pie who never go near an electric dynamo
and yet find their watches going astray
in a most unaccountable fashion. Visit
ing the matchmaker they find that il has
been mysteriously magnetized. Tell the
general run 90 people that the watch was
magnetized and deranged from being car
ried in trolley car and they will probably
be much surprised. Yet the facts are
strong in confirmation of such a state
ment
Inquiry among many of the representa-
tive watchmakers of the town shows that
on the average two and a half times as
many magnetized watches are brought in
now for repair as was taken in two years
ago, when the trolley had not been intro
duced.
Probably 80 per cent. Of the watches

IMPROVING UPON PROF. RoENTGEN
PhOtOgraphing with Ordinary EIec-
! tric Light-TO Prevent Sparks.
From the New York Tim,

tr1c LlEht-AO EEeNCht spAEAss
From the New York Times.
DR.. Charles X. Beldin of jamaica, L. L.,
claimed yesterday to have discovered a
method of making photographs of the
Roentgen type, with an ordinary incandes-
cent electric light through a piece of
pine board a garter of an inch thick.
The negative plate used by DR.. Beldin
had lain untouched in his house for sew
eral years. He placed a hairpin upon the
plate and covered both with the pine
board. After an exposure of thirty min
utes, DR.. Beldin says he obtained a per-
feet outline of the hairpin.
Mr. Edison, in his laboratory at Orange
several days ago, tried to get a Roentgen
photograph with an arc electric light but
failed completely.
A dispatch from Boston yesterday said
Prof. Trowbridge of Harvard had made
several improvements in the ordinary APP
paratus for making Roentgen photo
graphs. In order to prevent spark
ling between the wires leading
to the electrodes within the
vacuum tube. Prof. Trowbridge has de-
vised a containing-glass vessel filled with
paraff1ne oil, which is a poor conductor of
electricity.
He has also devised a means of keeping
of snow to the glass vessel containing the
paraffine oil, so the overheating of the
aluminium electrodes in the vacuum tube
would not cause the glass to crack.
Through these additions, Prof. Trow-
bridge hopes to be able to get q larger
quantity of current at a higher voltage
than would otherwise have been the case.

Mr.. VIM. II. Lambert, OF Philadelphia,
Is one OF the most intelligent and in
defatigable collectors Of Lincolniana in
the country. His collection includes
many rare and precious pieces, such as
the praecipe in Lincoln's first law
suit: Lincolns old "Webster's Diction-
ary"; the chair, desk and inkstand
used by Lincoln FOR years in his
Springfield law office; one OF the
finest original Lincoln letters, besides
quantities Of engravings, wood-cuts and
curios. Mr.. Lamberts collection OF
literature on Lincoln is practically COM
plete. containing hundreds OF books,
pamphlets and newspapers. With this
vast amount OF matter Mr.. Lambert is
himself perfectly familiar. and his in
innate knowledge OF all that has been
written in regard to Lincoln makes his
opinion of any new work on the sub
iect OF peculiar value. OF the Life OF
Lincoln now running in McClure's Mag

To Succeed Lord Leighton.

Sir John Everett Milais, who will
succeed Lord Leighton as president OF
the Royal Academy has painted pic
lures from his boyhood and is one of
the foremost painters in England
There are those who think him the
greatest. He was born at Southampton,
in 1929 The family OF Millais has
held for centuries a good place among
the lesser landlords of Jersey, and, ii
is believed, was firmly seated there be-
fore the time OF William the Con-
uuerer. The present Millais, who is a
baronet. began his education in art at
the tender age Of in an academy and
two years later he became a student
at the Royal Academy, gaining the
principal prizes in drawing. His first
medal was won at the Society OF Arts
when he was but 9 years old. His first
exhibited picture was shown at the
academy in 1S49. 1t was "Pizarro Seiz-
ing the Inca of Peru" From this time
the young painters success was as
sured. While at the academy he fell
in with Holman Hunt and Dante Ga
briel Rossetti. The three determined
TO study nature as it appeared to them
and not as il appeared in the antique.
Thence sprung the so-called pre-
Raphaelite school. Millais was elected
an associate of the academy in 1853
and became an r. A. in 1863. In 1885 he
was made a baronet at the request OF

Rose of Dutther's Coolly. BY Hamlin
Garland. Cloth, 403 pages. $3.50. Chi
cago: Stone & Kimball) butcher" is
her patronymic and "Coolly" corrup-
ton of coule. Mr.. Garland's Rose is a
child OF nature who grows up as free as
colt and as free from the conventional
scruples OF a girl as IL she were really
one OF the boys whom she envies and
emulates. A curious freak OF fancy i'm
pels her to fall in love-as she thinks
with a circus athlete who never even
sees her. This abnormal development
of admiration-fo II is nothing more
inspires her with thirst for knowledge
that she may be worthy Of him. The
current OF her. life is turned, education
at the University of Wisconsin follows,
and then an abandonment OF home in a
vain attempt to achieve literary fame in
Chicago.
Ii is difficult to express ones exact
meaning in writing of certain feature
of the earlier chapters. Mr.. Garland. in
his desire to be perfectly natural, en-
deavors to depict the growth OF the sex
| instinct in a girl, and he treads upon
delicate ground. Although not trans
crossing the bounds Of good taste, his
depletion of this phase OF girlhood
makes his story one for the mature in
thought, or as Mr.. Hardy would say, for
men and women Of full age.
The effete Eastern man who looks
upon Chicago only as an example OF
| garish, crude newness, should read the
book and see with what a picturesque
| glamour Mr. Garland invests the great
city. For the lake he has love in all
her varying aspects, and the descrip-
ton Of storm is wonderfully graphic.
| On the whole Mr. Garland has scored a
success in this his first long story. The
publishers have put it forth in unex-
ceptionable form.
