One of the particular advantages to
science of the new plan is shown in views
of the Jungfrau made by DIR. Elmendorf.
The possibility of photographing from
distance objects which. IL taken at short
range, would be thrown out of all per-
spective, is one of the greatest things that
the apparatus makes possible. The large
view of the Jungfrau was taken at dis
tance of twenty-four miles, and the pic
ture shows the proportions OF the view
just as they exist.
The machine that accomplishes these re-
suits Is a cylinder only few inches long
that Is applied to the camera. II consists
of a negative lens, which is attached to
the rear of an ordinary rectiliuear photo
graph lens. The telephoto lens causes the
rays converging from the Photographic
lens to diverges more or less. thus. as II
were. lengthening the focus of the photo
graph lens. One great advantage of this
arrangement is that with 4 camera bellows
only fourteen inches long one gets the eff
feet of a lens of forty-inch focus Another
advantage is that the lens can be Increased
almost indefinitely.
subsequent possibility for which the
telephoto may be utilized is to take pic
lures of birds in flight, and although they
had not been included by DIR. Elmendorf
in his work, he believes that it can be ac-
complished. The use of the telephoto has
not grown much during the five years of
its existence. chiefly because 1t requires
an extremely careful worker, and because

GOLD-BEARING CLAY.
An Alleged Important Discovery In
Working Placer Property.

An Alleged Important Discovery In
Working Placer Property.
From the Denver Republican.
For more than twenty-five years the
great deposits of clay. breccia and cement,
carrying gold values and lying to the south
and southwest of Denver, have attracted
the attention Of mining men resident in
this city, and experiments have frequently
been made with the view to discovering
some method of treatment that would save
the values. 1t has generally been assumed
by the investigators tnat the gold carried
in these substances was the source of SUD-
ply for the free gold known to exist in the
sands of Cherry creek. but up to the pres
ent time all efforts to extract values in
paying quantities have failed. These de-
posits have been traced from as far east
as Akron. along the divide between the
Platte and Cherry creek, between Sedalia
and Acequia on the Rio Grande, into the
foothills west of Castle Rock, and recently
In the Few camp or Woodland Park In
some places it is firmly cemented breccia.
IN others 1t is clay more or less solidified
and In still others it is hard blue cement,
but IN all cases gold has been found gem
orally In such small quantities that it
would not pay for treatment. while yet
suff1ciertly pa!pable to excite interest and
more orr, or less expensive investigation.
Inc ordinary fire assays have seldom re-
turned more than from a trace to s. but
failure seems only to have stimulated in
quiry, and within the last year or two a
very decided effort has been made in the
direc ton of chemical analysis, with re-
suits which, while not entirely satisfying.
are so much better than anything hereto
fore obtained that several enterprises are
now on foot for thorough test.
The Garnet Gold Mining and Milling
Company has been diligently experiment.
ing with deposit of gold bearing clay for
nearly year. and Col John ID. Freid and
j. M. Watt stockholders Of the company
nov claim that they have found a method
which will save the values at so trifiing
an expense for treatment that ere running
as low as - per ton will yield a handsome
profit. Col. Fredd said yesterday that he
would guarantee that any single ton of the
clay taken from any part of their prop
erty would yield $12 per ton at cost for
treatment of not to exceed 81 a ton. The
process by which this result is obtained IS
the patent of Julius JEAN who has erected
small plant at Globevflle and proposes
to make sample test Of five tons some
day this week
The process is said to he a combina tion
or amalgama ton and magnetfsm and the
principle upon which Mr.. jean bases his
discovery is the crushing of fhe ore into
particles as fine the gold contained
therein. n

is the way the women ride wheels over

the use of the attachment causes some

The views made for the museum last

The General Slept Near n Pig Pen
After the Battle of the Wflderness,
From the Century
The general and staff bivouacked upon
the ground. The night was quite chilly,
and couple of fires were lighted to add to
our comfort. Gen. Grant lay down with
his officers beside one of the fires, without
any covering: when asleep an aid quietly
spread an overcoat over him. For about
four hours we all kept turning over every
1ew minutes so as to get warm on both
sides. initiating with our bodies the dur
nal motion of the earth as it exposes its
Sldes alternately to the heat of the sun.
When daylight broke 1t was seen that a
low board structure close to which the
seneral-in chief had lain down was a pig
pen, but Its former occupants had disap-
peared, and were probably at that time
nourishing the Stomachs of the cavalry
troopers of the invading army. Unfortu-
nately. the odors Of the place had not TAX
en- their departure with the pigs, but re-
mained to add to the discomforts of the
bivouackers. Sheridans cavalry had had
fight at this place the afternoon before,
in which he had defeated the opposing
torce, and the ground in the vicinity,
strewn with the dead. offered ample evil
dence OF the severity of the struggle
At daylight the morning of the Sth
active operations were in progress through
out the columns. Gen. Sheridan had
ordered his cavalry to move by different
roads to seize the bridges crossing the Po
river. Gen. Meade modified these orders,
and directed portion of the cavalry to
move in front of Warren's infantry on the
SpottsylSania Court House road. The enc
my were telling trees and placing other
obstacles in the way. in order to impede
the movement. and the cavalry was after

to open the way.

on his coat and shaking it to rid it Of

down, shared with the STAFF officers some

The machine DR.. Elmendorf employed is
not altogether a new one and 1t as
far back as 1891 in London that the ap-
paratus called the telcphoto was invented
by Dallmeyer. The first machine of the
kind ever sent to this country came to
DR.. Elmendorf in 1892, and lie has been an
enthusiastic advocate of the apparatus
merits since that time. At his suggestion
the original telephoto was simpiiied as
to make 1t small and convenient in
strument, which produces TIE wonderful
effects in photography without any greater
preparation or trouble-or at most with
very little more-than it takes 10 use an
ordinary camera. But DR.. 5Ilmendorf has
succeeded in photograpning at a distance
of fortytwo miles the Alps of the Bernese
Oberland, and one of the views is the
Jungfrau, photographed from the town of
Interlaken, at least twsntyfour miles from
the mountain.

THE APPEARING LADY.
Secret of n Pretty Stage Trick Now
Shown In Europe.


Shown In Europe.
From the Scientific American.
OF the many new illusions now being pre-
sented in Europe, an ingenious one is that
of the appearing lady. the invention of that
clever Hungarian magician, Buatier de
kolta.
On the stage is seen a plain, und-top,
four-leg table, which the magician has been
using resting place for part of the ap-
paratus used in his magic performance.
Eventually the performer removes all
articles from the table and covers it with
a cloth that does not reach the floor. On
command the cloth gradually rises from
the center of the table as though something
were pushing it up. In a few moments 1t
becomes very evident that some one OF
something is on the table covered by the
cloth. The magician now removes the
cloth and lady is seen standing on the
table.
The secret of this, as in all good illusions
is very simple. In the stage there is a trap
door. over which is placed a fancy rug that

time in which the magician is straighten-
ing out the cloth to draw it back over the
table. All that now remains to be done is
for the lady to open the trap in table and
slowly take her place on top of the table
and close the trap.
The top and bottom of the box by means
of which the lady is placed under the table
are connected by means of three strong,
elastic cords, placed inside of the cloth COW
ering. These elastics are for the purpose of
keeping the bottom and top frame of the
box together, except when distended by the
weight of the lady. Thanks to this ar
rangement of the box. it folds up as the
lady leaves it for her position on the table
top and is concealed inside of the frame of
the table after her weight is removed from

ed IN the six-day race at the Ice Palace
until the finish. ION every track on the
continent there Is blue mark made all
around 1t, just half a meter or about
eighteen and one-eighth inches from the
pole. The racers follow that line, and no
man can pass another unless it is on the
outside OF that mark. There would not
have been any marks on the track at the
Ice Palace II we had not insisted upon it.
This Is custom prevalent all over Eu-
rope. and / believe is followed In Canada.

Tom Linton seems to think that the clf-
mate Of this country is more conducive to
speed in cycle records than is that of Eng
land. He thinks England takes a back
seat in trials against time as compared
with this country. in spite of the fact that
up to within few years ago the English
riders held all of the worlds records for
short distances. As partly bearing out
Linton's remarks. the wonderful records OF
