Color Photography.

The Chassagne process of color pho
Biography, which created small sensa-
ton in London last spring, proves to
have been greatly overestimated in the
first published descriptions. Sir Henry
Trueman Wood, the British expert in
photography, who vouched for the proc
ess originally, has recently publicly ac-
knowledged that the process is not an
entirely automatic one, as was claimed.
"The operator requires to know gener-
ally what the colors should be, and the
results largely depend on his judgment
and skill in applying the color in the
right places" He still believes, how
ever, that certain amount of the "se-
lective absorption originally claimed
for the process does exist, but finds 1t
difficult to justify himself as to how
far the process is purely mechanical and
how far it is matter Of skill.

Coal From China.

1t is rather startling to find that coal
can be mined in China and sold in CAL
ifornia at profit, says Locomotive En-
cheering. Several cargoes Of coal from
China have been imported into Califor-
mia, and it is reported to be of very good
quality. Those who are familiar with
the coal market say that within very
few years the Chinese coal mines will
supply the whole market of the Pacific
coast, except those portions where coal
is found. The extremely cheap labor of
China enables the coal to be brought to
the surface at very low price. The on
ly obstacle to very active competition
in this industry at present is the want
of good transportation facilities in Chi

The Electric Match.

The electric match is the next i'm
portant invention promised. Before very
long the phosphorus tipped wooden
splints now in use will be replaced by a
handy little tool that may be carried in
the pocket or hung up conveniently for
striking light when wanted. Already
there is ON the market gas lighter
which affords more than a suggestion
Of the electric match of the future,
a twist of the handle generating suf-
ficient electricity to accomplish the
purpose; also there are several styles
Of cigar lighters which depend for their
supply of electricity upon storage bat
teries. For some years past the gas jets
in theaters and public buildings have
been lighted by the electric spark. In
deed, most persons have seen the curl
GUS experiment Of lighting the gas with
the finger after shuttle across the car
pet to generate the electricity needed.

To ascertain whether or not room

should be placed therein after hermetic-
ally closing doors and windows. In "a
hours it should be weighed, and if the
kilogram has absorbed more than ten
grams of water-that is more than

The question of the dampness of dwell

former. The question can be settled in
the future by the test Of the hydration
