Signaling.

During the march OF Sir Robert Low s
column over high mountains to the relief
of the besieged garrison of Chitral COM
munication between the two brigades was
kept UP by means Of photographs and flags.
The hello messages were flashed from one
hill to another, miles apart, and then
transmitted to the commanders camp by
flag signals. The impression made by this
signaling upon the Mohammedan natives
was made clear through an overheard con-
versation between two men waiting out
side an officers tent for an audience
Extraordinary devils, these kafflrs (un-
belieyers)," said one of them. lone army
sits down and talks to tho other army with
the sun on looking glass. And at night
they put up two big lamps and talk to each
other with them"
well, replied the other, "they can't do
anything when 1t Is cloudy and there Is no
SUM-"
"Oh," answered the first speaker, "yon
may be sure they have some deviitry they
make use of them

marvellous in the case of my wife While
Twas pastor of the Baptist Church at

NO HOUSES FOR RENT.

The idea prevails among people out
side OF Roanoke that no trouble is TO be
encountered here In finding Q place to
live. but euch Is not the case. The
facts are that there are scarcely any
houses for rent. all being filled and the
owners are receiving good rental prices.
In all OF Southwest Roanoke between
Jefferson and Park streets there Is only
one unoccupied house that has q rent
Gard attached, and exactly similar con-
ditions prevail In regard TO all other
sections Of the city. II IL confidently
believed that the statement can be m ade
that not 9 dozen vacant residences
stand In Roanoke to-day. Stories that
have been circulated to the effect that
there are hundreds of uncccupied houses
In the CITY and that the use Of them can
be had for mere song or for the pur.
pose OF keeping up the insurance is not
true OF To-day. Newcomers ind It the

able property. and are compelled to
board and watch chances. This Is evil
dence of the fact that the general con-
dition Of the city 10 in good shape.

Forcing tho English Language.

Philologists assume too much. They do
not make a language. They only trace it's
development. Nor Is Language as arbi-
trary system, however logical and exact.
1t is q growth, like freedom, from prece-
dent to precedent No doubt much of tho
opposition to the changes suggested by the
philologists may be largely due to prej,i-
dice. The 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 isos
think that it is all prejudice There Is
such thing as taste, and taste would be

AN INGENIOUS PICTURE.
10 Shows the Head OF u Living Person An

10 Shows the Head OF u Living Person Ap-
parently Bolt Upright on q Plate.
Ono Of tho latest tricks Is to photograph
living head on plato. Tho deluslon Is
merely Photographic one Photographs
taken In this way show tho head of liv-
ing person resting on q plate which forms
part Of tho furnishing of dinner table.
Tho object Is not at all grewsome In fact,
1T preserves an absolute lifelike appear
ance. The oontrivance for bringing about
this remarkable delusion Is so simple TINT
any ono may arrange 1t 1t Is only neces-
sary to remove the central leaf Of an ortii-
nary extension table and to provide a plato
or pan cut away so that 1t may be con-
veniently placed around tho neck Tho
person to be photographed Is seated under
the table so that the head appears Just
above tho table top. Tho cloth and tho
ordinary dinner set are then arranged In
tho usual way 4he hoad is put through
hole in tho cloth, and tho plato or dish is
placed closely about the neck OF course
the delusion Is heightened by the camera.
Any ono would recognize tho deception Mt
glance, but the camera secs 1t with u
moro partial eye. Pictures made In this
manner have often been extremely pu7-
zling.
Tho trick of photographing fly or ON
gigantic monster of prehistoric times Ia
also very simple. The eye estimates sizes
wholly by comparison. We Judge the size
of unfamiliar objects by comparison with
moro familiar ones. Tho moon, for exam
pie, appears very much larger as it rises
above the housetops than when it is direct
ly overhead 1t is only necessary to set
miniature church about an inch In height
beside an ordinary fly in order to show, In
the photograph at least, n strange fierce
animal as large as cable cor. The camera
by reproducing only the two objects makes
1t impossible TO estimate tho actual size of
either of them. This samo 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 n tiny toy fence and photo
graph 1t in order to produce an illusion
which it is impossible to dctect-New
