between the Turkish soldiers and the
Greeks at Naszlitza, near the Greek
frontier. The Turks were defeated

A Peculiar Optical Illusion.

The correspondent of a Photographic
journal. in speaking of the special in
1erest that attaches to the Roentgen
rays among photographers, who often
are not in position to invest in elab-
crate and expensive sets of apparatus,
says it is not generally known that by
means of very simple optical illusion,
an almost perfect imitation Of the won
ders of the photography can be shown
without the trouble and expense of in
Guction coils, tubes or fiuorescent
screens. All that is necessary is to take
a small feather from a pheasant or tur-
key, and holding it close to the eye
look through the radiatipg ribs at the
end of the feather at the fingers Of the
hand he'd up towards the sky, or
against the window. The flesh Of the
fingers will then appear to be trans
parent, with the opaque bone running
down in the center, as shown by the true
photography. If it is desired TO exhibit
the phenomenon by gaslight piece of
ground glass must be held in front of
the flame to ditfuse the light.

Convcniences and Conceits That Sur

COnycniences and Conceits That Sur
prise American Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops at certain hotel in shat city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has an Amer
lean plan dining-room, but only a
French bill Of fare. 1t has an Indian
room, where an Indian chief in the cos
tune of his country prepares native
dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
the number of his room instead of
his name, and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as Mr.. 9GO,"
as though he were a convict in the PEN
itentiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found maid, valet and waiter,
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night, if you are a man. you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in chest
of drawers. If you are woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbe!ows
as though she We're hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys-the maid or valet on the
floor takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.

EOME MOUNTAINS.
We Don't Have to Go Abroad to Find
UiEh Climbing.

There are 10 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over 1900 feet above
the ocean level. Forty of these are
higher than 14.C00 feet, and more than
half of that number are so remote
and rugged that no one has yet dared
to attempt to climb them. They are
as unique as those of Switzerland. and
as fearful as the Alps in the warning
they offer to the men or women who
are so hardy as to defy them by start
ing upon their ascent. Some of them
are massed with snow, others have
glaciers over their approaches, and
others are merely masses of Jagged
rocks.
Not even Coloradoans have sought as
yet to surmount them. and the profess
sion of guide" is still open to who
ever may care to enter it. Railroads
reach within close enough range to
provide hotel facilities, but otherwise
the mountain climbing of Colorado is
yet awaiting its pioneers. Did the
Coloradoans or the people of other
states fully realize the intoXicants as
well as the health-giving powers of
mountain climbing, Rocky mountain
climbing would be one of the most
popular recreations of America.
Only one Notwithstanding club is
known to exist in Colorado. There is
room for dozen more. There should
be one in every city. By the evidences
such clubs might offer of their thrill
;rc ord of 4hoi,
pied pastimes, the fame of the Rockies
as a place of pleasure and adventure
might be widely advertised, and Colo
RADIO thus be pushed forward to the
place it must eventually occupy as the
American substitute for Switzerland.

A traveller who spent some time in
the wilds of Texas says that he found
families who named the children to
indorse a sentiment after this peculiar
fashion: "One Too Many Harry" or
Not Wanted James," It is to be hoped
that the names did not embarrass their
owners with more than one sense of
superfuity. The negroes of the south,
when left to their own methods of
naming their progeny, strive for the
most romantic and poetic or historic
names they can find, and good, long
string of them, too. A colored girl Ia

sixty Days With the Mclean Dollar


See what short sixty days has done
with the metal which Mr.. McLean's
convention declared ought to be giveu
free coinage at the rate of l6 to l.
When the Democratic convention met
at Columbus two months ago, silver
was worth in New York, according to
the Treasury tables, so cents per
ounce, and the commercial value of
silver TO gold was 34 to l. Today sill
yer in New York is worth 50 2 cents
per ounce, and the ratio is practically
40 to l.
Two months ago the silver in dol
lar was worth nearly A. cents-now it
is worth 40 cents-a fall of Is per cent,
in value of the metal which it contains.
That the advocacy of a dollar which
falls Is per cent. in value between the
making of platform and the opening
of the campaign is not likely to prove
popular goes without saying, and no.
body is surprised that the Ohio Demo,
Gratis are trying to abandon the silver
issue. But nobody supposes of course,
that they will be able to get away
from it. They are on record, and, be-
sides, have made it practically the sole
issue of their platform.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GLIDING.
Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.


Less Dangerous work.
In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-covered by means of the electrical
bath. Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
in certain stages very detrimental to
the health of the worllmen. The old
time gliderused an amalgam of gold and
mercury, causing it TO adhere to the
bronze article by means of nitrate of
mercury, the nitrous and mercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health of the, workman.
and sometimes inducing incurable dis
ease. Now the article to be gilded is
placed in an electric bath, the current
is turned on, and in short time the
piece is ready for the burnisher. Gid
ing by means of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand, but its delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of success-his
work will always show the inexperience
OF the workman.

STUNNED LIKE LEPERS.
A Colony of Degenerate Human

A Colony of Degenerate Human
Freaks Who Live Like BEASTS.
A most revolving form of human de-
generacy is to be seen on Snake creek,
in the Indian nation, Indian territory,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. a small
colony of human freaks, with dirty,
whitish hair, and white, CLASSY eyes,
eke out a miserable existence in the
midst of the most filthy surroundings,
being ostracized from the companion
ship of the other Creeks. These de-
generates are the result of frequent in
termarriage among a class of mongrel
whites, negroes and Indians. and the
degeneracy has kept dropping down
the scale of human intelligence until it
is said these people eat snakes. toads
and other reptiles. They use peculiar
jargon, many expressions resembling
the cluclling of hens and the unpleasant
noises made by belligerent geese. Their
hair is somewhat kinky, but stands out
nearly straight. giving them a very
frightful appearance. They live out in
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into rude
caves or dugouts, reeking with filth and
vermin. Many of them are afflicted
with sores. and are deformed or cross
eyed. They are too lazy TO be mean.
but the very sight of them is sickening,
and they are Stunned like lepers. A
subagent has been asked for to look
after their annuities and to secure for
them something like human comforts.
They have many children, and their off
spring are most pitiful looking objects.
