WILL INTEREST AMATEURS.
We read, for example. of the exact
determination of the right time for ex-
posure for a given negative, IN which
algebraical formula and mathematical
charts figure in way that would be
quite bewildering to the average lover
of the camera but in the midst of
these technical details are many points
of practical value to every photog-
rapher Thus, the simple device of hay-
of the tripod. in which stones are placed
to steady the camera, would save
many a negative in windy weather that
now is lost through the vibration of the
instrument. And the care which is
counseled in determining the exact pc
riod of proper exposure for given
plate lens and light, even if carried
out with far less of scientific precision
than is here suggested, would enable
many an amateur who now wastes sew
eral plates for every good negative, to
reverse the proportions of failures and
successes.
One curious feature of the photo
graphic surveying. which the amateur
would not care to follow ordinarily, but
a knowledge Of which might prove OF
service on occasion, is that the aerial
perspective, making the distance hay,
Is practically eliminated by the use of

 Flannel shirt waists have appeared simultaneously at the swell mems places and at the exclusive ladies' tail- ors. That gives the tailor girl confi- dence, but the women who do not pa tronize the exclusive ladies' tailor can profit by this idea and make shirts of either flannel or flannellette, choosing stylish dainty colorings.

There Is at least one bill pending be- fore the Illinois legislature that ought to become law, and similar laws should be made in all the States as soon as possible, This bill provides that any newspaper found guilty of unduly eulogizing any person or persons, thus falsely building for such person or per sons reputation without merit, there by misleading and deceiving the public, shalP after ten days notice, served in writing upon the publisher or publish CTS of said newspaper of the false and misleading character of said eulogy, make retractlon or correction of said eulogy, in manner and place as con spicuous as was its original publication, for three succeeding issues of said newspaper. It Is provided, however, that the act shall not apply to deceased persons, nor be operative against fun eral orations nor obituary notices.
 There is great need of such law all over this country. It would tend to make some great men smaller, and it would also tend to make many news papers more trusted and respected. Of course under such law there wouldn't be so many perfect men nominated for and elected to office, but considering the way some of the perfect men have turned out after having been shown by their newspapers to be without flaw, perhaps we could afford to try few of the other kind

THE cHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The New Haven Chamber of Com- down it's reputation of being awake only at meal-time. It Is attracting many new members of the right kind, and the annual address of President Ford shows that it has done not little during the past year to extend and in- crease the fame and the business of New Haven. President Ford has clear and comprehensive ideas Of what the work of Chamber of Commerce should be, and he sets them forth in direct and stimulating way. What he says concerning the situation in Boston is we'll worth attention here, even if we are on the verge of one-man power. He points out that the mayor of Bos- ton last year commanded the services of a group of men known as the Mer- chants Municipal committee, without official authority, rendering valuable advice. This committee was made up of representatives from the principal commercial organizations of Boston, in- cluding the president of the Chamber of Commerce, president of the Clearing House association, president of the Board of Trade, president of the Mer- chants. association, president of the Shoe and Leather association and pres ident of the Real Estate exchange.
 This year application has been made to revise the charter of the city of Bos- ton, giving this council recognized poration. This Boston notion appears to be a very sensible one.

THREE OFFER PEOPLE

It is astonishing how some people fail to live up to their opportunities. For instance, MT and Mrs. Welsh of Kan sas City. Both can trace their ancestry back to the nobility of the old world MT. Welsh is entitled to wear five coats-of -arms, and Mrs. Welsh has in- herited three. They also have sofa which is one hundred and twenty-five years old. And yet they do not go around with their noses turned up They have not even organized society of which they, are the only members. They are going about their daily du- ties as if they were nothing but ordi- nary folks,
 And there is a man in New York who is as oblivious to his opportunities as the Kansas City Welshes are to theirs and he is aneemploye of the New York dock department. He is second in the
 
 etcy, and just think what that fact would enable him to be and do in New York Society! But he doesn't seem to care anything about a, thing that he ought to be living for. Hear him: "Oh, I suppose I am in the line of success sion. but I don't want it. Don't take any interest in such things. I get proof-sheets of Debrett every year for correction and throw 'em in the waste basket. If the baronetcy comes my way I shall decline it. I don't want the alarmed old baronetcy. I hope George Puxley (the heir ahead of the speaker) will live to be a thousand years old and have a million children"
 'Darned old English baronetcy!" What language is this? It sounds like the stuff that was talked in the early days of this republic when the people of this country wanted to be free and equal It is out of date now, and will excite surprise and horror among those who would give their all to be within smelling distance of an English baron etcy. Mir. Duntze has found no sympa- thizers in New York. He willfind none in New Haven. English baronetcies are not considered alarmed old things here.

THE PzIGUE VERSUS CASTE.

THE fd1iHCE EhSUS CdSIE'
 It is good news that the plague in India is decreasing in violence, It has done 8 vast work of woe and death. We suppose that there are philosophers who could figure out that 1t has also done India much good. They could say, for instance, that the emergencies ere ated by the plague have been the cause of something like a revolution in the case of some of the most deeply rooted social and religious prejudices of the natives in India, The increase of the pest has compelled measures, such as the isolation of the sick, which are in direct antagonism to the most cherished traditions of religious observance, per- sonal liberty and family life. At the outbreak of the epidemic very few suf- ferers could be persuaded to accept hospital treatment. For. time 1t seemed impossible in Bombay to induce more than twenty-five patients to en- ter the wards, By the beginning of March, however, the Arthur Road Hos pital alone contained nearly a hundred patients, while numbers were availing themselves of the hospitals of the Par see, Jain, Hindu, Khoja, and Moham- medan communities, and of special in- stitutions, such as those of the Port Trust, the Sahibs' servants, and Parel. The devout Hindu dreads above all things to die in the hands of men of another caste, and to be deprived of the last rites which his own kindred are alone competent, according to existing usage, to perform. It is not merely a question of sentiment in this world; it is also one of salvation In the next. AL most without exception, until now, the preferred the certainty of dying among their own people to the chance of re- covery in a public hospital, however considerate its management, if it in wolves separation from their families. But segregation is the essential condi- tion of hospital treatment In a great epidemic, and for the first time in h. dia 1t Is not only being enforced, but is accepted as inevitable by the people themselves. A few months ago such sanitary proposals would have excited the most fanatical opposition.

However, as it was honor and not money that Burton was after he probably will not make any fuss over it if he is not paid until the end of the year, by which time he will have travelled distance of 12,520 miles and thus well earned his cent And he has four-year contract at these rates. This queer condition all came about through Burton having stage route between the two towns and he had to underbid the other fellow or there would have been rival stage route for him to compete with.
