ROYALTY AND AUTOMOTORS.
The Prince of Wales to Take Part In an
Exhibition of Novelties.

The Prince of Wales is said to DO devel-
oping n deep interest in automotors, and
he has arranged to take an active part in
an exhibition of MI the latest ideas in
horseless vehicles which is to be held ut
the Imperial institute.
For his own yacht, the Britannia, no
has had built a steam launch driven by
liquid fuel. 1t Is TO BIO carried on dsck
when the Britannia Is on n cruise, and
when she is racing tho launch will tow
the yacht to the starting point.
This launch Is 20 be seen at tho yacht
Ing exhibition now being held at the
Aquarium, where his royal highness has
intimated his intention OF inspecting IL
before 10 is put into use.
The most noteworthy feature of the ex-
hibition, says The Globe, is the eminently
practical character of tho exhibits. The
show is also conspicuous for tho number
of novelties exhibited, and tho motor
principle, responsible for several new
methods, Is shown IN connection both with
launches and road carriages.
An interesting novelty is a rudder cleo
trio motor adaptable TO any boat.
Another firm shows a model of n high
speed, twin screw, ocean going steam yacht,
designed for m American millionaire, tho
feature of which Is complete variation in
design from any steam yacht at present
constructed. 1t is specially protected from
retaining heavy seas and can carry some
$50 tons OF coal for long voyages. Indeed
the accommodation seems 10 be IN u scale
moro in keeping with the space available
on an Atlantic liner.
In another department ar ingenious
method of signaling mt sea is IN view.
Aluminium launches arc also displayed,
besides cordage, steering gear and rope
work of every kind. European Edition

CLASSIFYING THE BIDS.
Banks Acting as Private Agents Of Indi-
vidual Purchasers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The work Of
scheduling and classifying the bids open
Ell yeterday for the new loan was resumed
this monring by a force Of treasury clerks
and until that task Is completed, nj in
formation OF an exct and definite charac-
ter can he obtained, as to the amounts
bid for each of the several rates, or as
10 how low a rate viii be accepted. The
bid Of J. 4. Morgan and his associates
undoubtedly will be accepted to a large
amount, variously estimated at from S45,-
000, 600 to sos. 600, 600. In any event, 1t
ca tie stated that all legitimate bids which
ere at a rate above thar submitted by Mr..
Morgan (1i0. 6S77) will be acceped, and
that all bios below that rate will be re-
jectet. The treasury officials are espec-
tally gratiied at the success of the popular
subscription feature of the loan and stated
that while the scheme of the bidders un-
doubtedly will show a very large per-
centaeg of banks and monie1 ~institr-
tions, 1t is in~disputably true that in many
cases, and possibly in a majority of them,
the hanks act as the agents OF private in
oividuals who are the real purchasers.

throc inches above the bag. After due ex-
posture the hand Of tho lady was seen In
skeleton outline. All tho delicate bonos
were perfectly artlculated, each In q faint
haze that indicated the shape Of the flesh.
All the joints were as clear as II one saw
the real ones, and the lady's ring hung
wide and loose on the bone OF tho middle
finger. Thu picture gave her no nails, and
now It appears that finger nails will not
photograph.
Clifford OF Somersetshirc, who has TAX
en- the best photographs yet seen In Eng
land, shows ono with whitish patches at
the ends OF the fingers, but IL turns out
that these arc not nails, but due to damp
ness OF fingers where they touched tho
plate. Clifford photographed q lamo mans
foot, and found a bone enlarged and push
ing the ~neighboring toes out of place.
Persons who have been photographed
declare hat they feel for a minute q
pricking sensation like q mild electric
shock.
Certain marks on some Of the pictures
suggested tho brush form Of electricity,
and Clifford declared the now force to DO
an electric phenomenon. Ho says IL has
long boon known that radiators from an
ordinary induction coil strongly affect a
sensitive plate even when Opaque sub
stances are i%nterposed. Years ago Philip
Braham showed the British association
that carnations from an electric rhagnet
caused by an unsteady electric current act
like light on a Plato inclosed In an Opaque
covering. 1t has since been found that oma-
nations frcm even an ordinary electric
bell penetrate Opaque ~wrappings of sensi-
tive plate and ''fog" them.
A very remarkable photograph shown
at the Royal Photographic society was a
picture of a Crookes tube, itself display
ing the concentration of its luminosity,
and other features. 1t Is understood thai
tho picture was taken by IA pinhole CAM

1t appears to be n fact that all pictures

The Raw Material For False Teeth.
