Workman with reference to for
FIXTURES of school and other lands
under the act of 1874, Attorney
General Crane today prepared an
opinion of much Importance and
far reaching effect so far as state
land matters are concerned.
Crane holds that judicial ascer-
tainment is not necessary to OBJ
tain forfeiture under said act OF
1874, nor under subsequent acts,
including the act Of 1895. Time
and again efforts have been made
to extract an opinion from the
Supreme court without success and
the presiding attorney generals
have lodged the question with
great regularity. Seven thousand
office forfeitures will be taken at
once. This will be bad news to
several district attorneys, who
have been waiting a chance to
bring suit in these cases and draw
a fee in each one.

Removing Stains,

Varnish or paint stains should first be
covered with butter or sweet Oil and then
rubbed with turpentine. If it is an old
stain, the turpentine may be replaced by
chloroform, which must, of course, be used
with great precaution. Fruit stains will
generally yield if you rub according to the
grain of the material with little salt and
water. Sherry will take out olaret stains
if they are rubbed gently. Blood stains
should be soaked with petroleum and then
washed in warm water. 1t is said that no
stain will resist the following recipe:
Put into large bottle quarts of clean
spring water, add piece Of white amber
the size of a walnut, piece of potash as
big as hazelnut and lemons cut into
slices. Let stand "a hours, then strain
and keep 1T in well corked bottles. Damp
the stain with this preparation and rub the
place with fresh water directly afterward.
Finally try this prescription for taking
stains out of silk cloth: Pound some
French chalk until very fine and mix it
with warm watsr to the thickness of mus
tard. Put 1t on the spots, rub 1T lightly
with your finger or the palm Of your
hand, then put sheet of blotting paper OF
brown paper over the spots and press firm
ly with warm iron.-New York Journal

THE sAwousr DEVELOPER. /.
Anew Paper For Making Permanent Pho
Geographic Prints.

t0graphic Prints.
An entirely new process of producing
permanent prints from Photographic mega
tives has recently been patented by Antique
of Paris. The printing paper he uses is
covered with gelatinous substance which
has the property of becoming indissoluble
IF exposed to light in proportion to the
amount of light which is allowed to act
upon it. This paper comes in rolls or
sheets, but not sensitiZed, and 1t is neces-
sary to dip it first into a per cent solu-
ton of bichromate before using it, The
sensitizcd sheet of paper is placed in q
printing frame under the negative in the
usual way, the exposure taking place IN
der artificial light and for a few seconds
only.
The operator has no way of telling when
the print is sufficiently exposed, for the
picture will not show until development,
practice being the only guide. in this opera
ton The way the picture is brought out
and finished is very curious when compar-
ed to the older methods. Two or three
quarts of sawdust are mixed into fluid
mass with a sufficient quantity of warm
water. A thermometer is used to stir the
mass, which ought to be used at a temper
allure of about 50 degrees f. The temper
allure OF the mixture remains stationary on
account of the sawdust used. The exposed
print Is first dipped into cold water to
make ii soft, and is then fastened by means
of clamps to plate of plain glass A can
filed with the mixture of sawdust and
water Is then taken and poured over the
print. The picture comes out slowly If the
exposure has been properly made. Il che
picture appears too fast, it is signth it
has been overexposed, and a cooler mixture
Of about So degrees F. must quickly be
taken and poured over hepicture, thus re-
tarding its progress and saving 1t definite
ly. IF the picture should come out too
slow, the temperature of themixture may
be raised to IS degrees f. with, impunity.
When the print is strong and clear
enough, it is simply placed into cold water
to wash off every trace Of the bdchromate,
and it may then be Immediately mounted
upon cardboard. These prints are of mel
low black color and will never fade or de-
teriorate The greatest advantage in using
this kind Of paper for printing photographs
Is the fact that no chemicals OF any descrip-
ton except bichromate are used. Since pa
per sensitized with bicfromate may be car
ried along and used for aslongtime, there is
no necessity for carryingaeven that chem
tcal along, and sawdust can probably be
procured anywhere. - St. \ Louis Globe

that is to say, given quantity of the
liquid cannot contain any moro of the solid

porous it withdraws some of the liquid
from the mixture, and a portion of tie
solid part, having lost the water that be-
longs to it, is deposited in thin layer
along the surface of the mold. This is tie

processes it becomes the delicate, eggshell

In much the same way the candy drops
are made. The liquid is saturated solu-
ton and will not dissolve any more sugar,
just as your coffee in the morning will not
dissolve the fourth lump of sugar that you
put into it; but, disintegrating it, deposits
it at the bottom of the cup. The sweet
mixture is poured into molds Of absorbent
material-starch, for example-which at
once begins to absorb the water.
That part of the sugar that has been
robbed of it's water isdeposited against the
mold just as the porcelain Is, and the re-
sub is the liquid drop which, it is to be re-
