When that gentleman died-eight years
ago-the Prince, it is said, was his debtor
for FL 0O0,O which the children of the
defunct claimed.
Every one must recall the famous bac
carat game, when it was asserted that the
Wilson's had lent the Prince a million
pounds. Baron Hirsch, too. was said to
have won royal favor by lending about the
same amount. As i'll luck would have 1t,
Baron Hirsch died, his heirs claimed the
money, and it is supposed the Prince,
menaced by compromising lawsuits, was
only too happy to find a savior in w. w.
Aston, who was charmed to attach him
self to the future King of England by ties
OF gratitude.
Afterward came visits from the Prince
to Clivedon. followed by visits of other
members of the royal family. Astor's in
vitations TO Sandringham became more
frequent, and from this growing intimacy
has arisen the superstition that he has
asked for the hand of the Princess, and
that he will not be refused.
The barrier of birth2
This obstacle did not arrest the royal
family when it wanted to accept among
its members the Marquis of Lorne or the
Duke OF Fife. 1t is by pure courtesy that
John Campbell Esq is called Marquis Of
Lorne, and in all official documents the
husband of Princess Louise is not de-
nominated otherwise than John Camp
bell, commonly called Marquis OF Lorne. y
The Duke of Fife owes his title to the

GREATER THIN

The Cameras Vision
Is Widened
Photographs Jaken by the Cylin-
drOgraph Exhibited at
the Fair

The latest invention in field photography
is called the cylindrograph. This is an
improvement even upon the human eve.
and by its use much wider range OF al.
most any given subject may be imprinted
on the negative than can be taken IN by
the naked eye.
Excellent specimens of this work may
be seen at the southwest corner of the
gallery in the Mechanics Pavilion, where
there is an unoptIusive group of photo
graphs, which is sample of the photog-
raphy done in connection with the field
work of the California State Mining Bu-
reau during 1886.
These pictures were, at the request of
the management committee OF the Me-
chanics' Fair, donated by Mr. Crawford,
the State Mineralogist, to the Mechanics
Institute, and they comprise excellent
specimens of the work of the field assist
ants of the California State Mining Bu-
reau. These pictures illustrate chiefly the
topography and geology of the oil fields of
Southern California, and many of them
are remarkable for having been taken
with the latest form of apparatus used IN
field photography, the cylindrograph.
This instrument has a compass which is
even greater than the angie OF vision, ana
the pictures made with it give more
comprehensive idea of the topography of
q locality than any picture which can be
made by other means. There are also
smaller pictures, which are well executed
and are very instructive, especially the
ones illustrating the oil springs of Ventura
County.
The last-m entioned photographs show:
First, an oil spring; second, stream of
maltha or heavy yiscous petroleum-this
picture demonstrating how the oil from
the spring, after losing its most volatile
constituents by exposure to the air, crawls
down the mountainside in stream OF
mineral tar or maltha. as it is technically
called; third, seepaaes OF petroleum from
assures in hard sandstone rocks.

How William Waldorf
Might Rise

And then the idea is such a novelty. OPP
till now American princesses and Ouch
esses have abounded, but an American
prince-Prince Aston, Duke of Clivedon--
would be an entirely new departure. OF
course he would have to be naturalized in
England, if be is not already naturalized.
But Aston is of American origin, and he
would remain American at heart and in in.
terest, which would suffice for Uncle Sam.
People are talking already OF the we'd
ding tour, which would naturally be in
America. Prince Astor would not fail to
show his bride a house situated at Sault
Ste. Marie, on Lake Ontario-a house of
very singular construction its baIconied
inst floor overhanging the ground floor;
sort of fortress, with 1oopholes, which
must have iven the Indians food for re-
Election more than once.
The man who built it was poor Ger
man emigrant who came to New York in
1873. He made it a headquarters Tor trad
ing in furs with the Indians. In 1872
when the war between the United States
and England interfered with his business
he realized his little pile and found that
he had gained two million dollars. Then
he bought tracts of land near New York.
His name was John Jacob Aston.
The tracts of land to-day are traversed
by Fifth avenue and Broadway. Such is
the origin of the fortune of $3.50, 900, 600, of
which part belongs to William Waldorf,
Prince Astor.
After visits to palaces, mansions and
villas, ali owned by the Astors, it is just
possible that the Princess will be curious
10 make a last visit to see the cemetery of
Trinity Church, where the first wife lies.
Two years ago her casket was covered with
$500 orchids at dollar apiece, and until
it was consigned to the earth the florist
had orders to renew the flowers every
day. Since then flowers have never been
wanting, and the florists bill for the first
year was $50, 500.
Will the Princess find fresh flowers on
the tomb?

modern sentiments. the whole world

re two panoramic views, each OF which
is formed by joining two cylindrograph
pictures. One of these views shows the
Santa Paula Canyon in Ventura County,
and the mountain ridge which has been
cut through by the Santa Paula Creek.
The other view, which is taken from a
point on the southwest slope of Mount
Cayetana, also in Ventura County, gives
an extensive view of the oil districts which
are situated 10 the north of the town OF
Santa Paula. 1t embraces several noun
tain ridges with their valleys and foothills.
One of the cylindrograph pictures shows
the Second-street Park oilfield in Los
ANGELES City with its forest of derricks,
each OF which indicates an oil we'll. This
picture gives a good idea OF the way the
paraphernalia of the petroleum industry
are mixed up with the residences in the
part of Los Angeles which is shown.
Not the least instructive scene is one
which shows the way the tunnels which
are run for oil are ventilated by what is
known as ahydraulic air-compressor. This
view also shows the manner of illuminate
ing these tunnels by reflected sunlight.
These precautions are necessary on ac-
count Of the infammable gas which fills
these tunnels and which, in more than
one instance, has occasioned loss of life.
We are told that when the air-com pressor
is not running some of these oil tunnels
become filled with the deadly gas in few
hours, Sc that it would be impossible to
live in them for many minutes and that to
light match therein would be certain
death. These tunnels are run 10 cut throug b
the oil-yielding rocks from which oil and
water flow and arc conducted by gutter in
the floor of the tunnel to receiving tanks,
wherein the oil separates from the water
and is stored,

as poets, painters and sculptors from time
immemorial to the very present moment
are perpetuating the true ideally beautiful
figure which l refer to. the figure that is
inseparabie from a large waist; mean, of
course, the proportionately large waist of
the Venus of Milo. In both the salons
this year in Paris there are many nudes
both in the paintings and the sculptures,
and the deal figure can be found in ali
the works of the greater painters, but no
girl with a waspish waist ever posed as
model for any of those subjects.

beauty is only question of taste, but do
not see in the modern fashionable woma n
any exem plification of the ideal huma n
form divine or female loneliness, as you
put it. Ny idea of loveliness in the female
form is softness, grace, in both movement
and lines and strength all combined. This
is simply what nature intended and this is
what you cannot see in the modern corset
ed figure which destroys natures curves,
weakens muscles where they should
be strong and otherwise skaters the
ideal. This is ali the more strange to me,
