Rapid Photography.

Professor E. Mache of Prague is cred
tied with some remarkable achievements
in the line Of rapid photography. Thus
the flight of a projectile has been fas-
tened on sensitive plate, the exposure
being estimated at probably about one
thousandth Of second. In taking this
picture Professor Mache succeeded not
only in showing the projectile proper
upon the negative, but he also shows the
air currents, and the. condensing of
photograph, it is thought, might explain
the luminous tail on comets and on
meteors, which are presumably projec-
tiles hurled through infinite space upon
a larger scale. Another of these photo
graphic achievements is air occasioned
by the flight Of aleaden ball. Its current
Of air is diverted to all sides at an angle
Of about 45F degrees to the axis Of the
projectile, and the whirlwind in it's
wake shows particles Of dust and other
atoms carried in the atmosphere, driven
with an energetic motion in the road
which the projectile has just left, and
following it with almost the same rapid
ity. ,-E .'.-.. =: J.

Pink Will Reign.

Pink in loveliest tints will be very
favored color this summer, and among
the beautiful dyes are anemone, also
known as valesque, an old rose pink
venus, a delicate flesh tint; azalea, a
soft rose, t:nged with silver like the
'sdawn' tint Of other seasons. Shepherd
ess and Louis XVI pinks are tinged with
faintest mauve, like the old pompadour
and lilac shades, and still deeper tones
of this exquisite color copy the hues Of
the orchid, chrysanthemum and sweet
pea blossom. All Of these dyes combine
beautifully with silver gray, reseda,
fawn color, cream, beige, apricot, mag
nolia, white and some Of the pale yell
low shades The latter mixture is like
the 'shoneysuckle melange'' of colors
used a, year ago. Pink and yellow French
roses, jonquils and geranium blossoms
are massed upon some of Virot's round
hats of black Or dark green openwork

MINISTER'S SONS PLAY CARDS.
How a Thirteen-year-old Boy Disposed o
Deck.

How Thirteen-year-old Boy Disposed of
a Deck.
There is an Episcopal minister on tbs
north side who has two sons, 13 and II
years old respectively, of whom he is
very proud. The responsibility of rear
ing two sons that they may be orna-
ments to society is deeply impressed up
on the good man, and he watches his
boys with a jealous eye, fearing that
they may be brought under harmful in
fuences. One morning he called the
boys at the usual hour, and when he
had satisfied himself that they were up
he returned to his morning paper. Thir-
ty minutes passed, but the boys did not
come down stairs, and, thinking they
were up to some mischief, he went
quietly to their room, opened the door,
and was startled to see them sitting up
in bed with deck Of cards between
them, playing seven-up. He did not say
anything further than to tell them that
breakfast was ready, but he immedi-
ately sought his wife and confded to
her what he had discovered. They held
a consultation and decided that it would
be best for the mother to talk to them.
When the morning meal was finished,
she talked with her boys long and seri-
ously on the evils of card playing, and
concluded by saying that she would
trust to the elder one to dispose Of the
deck they had some time during the
day. With that the subject was dropped
until evening" At the dinner table she
said to him, Harold, did you dispose
of those cards?''
Eyes, mother''
"Did you destroy them?'
"No.'
''Well, how did you dispose of them?'
Il sold them to the Baptist minister's
son for 10 cents, - was the reply.-Chi-

Japanese Explorers.

Japan, too, has keen explorers. The
professor Of astronomy in the university
Of Tokyo, Mr.. Nomaka, accompanied by
his wife, last October assembled Mount
Fujiyama, $4,000 feet high, to make
meteorological observations in the course
Of the winter. A short time ago word
was received that the professor was dy-
ing, and a relief expedition was fitted
out. With great difficulty the members
of the expedition reached the snow COW
cred hut. Professor Nomaka was found
to be exceedingly weak and unable to
move, but his wife had suffered no evil
results from the exposure. Nomska was
taken back to Tokyo, but he declares he
will return next winter, and his wife
says she will accompany him again.

or and on q Donkey,

When we were boys our first lessons
in riding were taken on (and Off the
back of a donkey. He was creature of
changeable, but, on the whole, amiable
disposition. When his temper gave way
before the trials to which we subjected
it, we took many lessons in that gentle
art of falling off which is so useful a
supplement to the science Of riding as
more generally understood. We can
make this avowal without any sense of
shame now, for it happened once on a
day forever memorable that our donkey
kicked off our riding master himself in
all his glory of boots and breeches.
Joe, the coachman's boy, declared all
our theory Of donkey riding to be incor-
rect, and it is significant that, though
the donkey could kick off the riding
master, boots and breeches and all, it
entirely failed to shake Joe from his
seat by any Of it's antics. But then Joe's
method was entirely different from that
OF the riding masters. It was, indeed,
SO simple as scarcely to deserve the
name Of method, being contained in the
single precept that you should sit as
near the tail Of the animal as possible.
That was the sum total Of his theory of
donkey riding, and it worked to perfec-
ton in practice. Our uncle, who was in
the navy, explained the mechanics of
Joe's style Of riding nautically. ''It's
as plain asa pikestaf, - said he, '.that

stern the craft isn't likely to go down

TACKS.

Made In Great Variety and For Many Diff
ferent Uses. .
The best tacks are made of imported
Swedish iron, the next grade of Ameri-
can soft steel and the cheapest Of COM
mon American iron. Tacks are also
made Of copper. Some tacks are timed,
and for ship use tacks are galvanized
Tacks are made Of sizes ranging from
half ounce to "a ounces. The tack COM
monty used as a carpet tack is an eight
ounce tack. A "a ounce tack is about
~ inch in length.
There are many kinds of tacks, made
for great variety Of uses, and they are
put up in many different forms There
are gimp tacks, looking glass tacks, up
holsterer's tacks, trunk tacks, lace
tacks, basket tacks, brush tacks, coffin
tacks, shank tacks, lasting tacks, min
er's tacks, cheesebox tacks and tacks for
many other uses. Within the past dozen
years the sale Of double pointed tacks
has increased tenfold with the greatly
increased use Of electrical wires. Dou-
BILE pointed lacks are also used for tack
ing down straw mating and for other
purposes.
Tacks that are sold in papers are put
up in full weights, half weights, and
quarter weights, the weight indicating
the size of the package. Almost all
kinds of tacks are also sold in bulk in
25 pound and SO pound boxes and in
100 pound kegs.
A one ounce tack machine will make
in day about 100, 900 tacks altogether
The iron is fed into the machine in a
plate which is of width little great
er than the length Of the finished tack,
so as to allow Of material to be upset
for the head. An eight ounce machine
will make about 200 pounds of tacks a
day-1,250 to the pound, about $50, 900
tacks. Tacks that are put up in papers
are weighed out and the papers filled
by hand. Comparatively few tacks are
put up nowadays in tied up papers.
They are put up mostly in little paste
board boxes. These boxes are packed in
larger boxes and in turn in cases for
shipment. A common tack package is
case weighing about 100 pounds.
The annual tack product Of the coun-
try is estimated at about 20, 900 tons.
If these tacks were all put up in papers
OF the usual assortments of sizes and
weights, the papers would number about
800, 900, 900, or something more than
four papers per capita Of the population.
