SPIRIT
A Step Towards the Logical Solution
of Its Mysteries.

A Step Towards h Logical Solution
of It's Mysteries.
Some apparently unexplainable mys-
teries of photography seem to depend
upon a previous exposure Of a plate,
without the owners knowledge. An
exposure was made of the interior Of a
house. The plate developed more quick
ly than was expected, and the image
was quite different from the room in
tended to be photographed. The plate
was from a fresh box. An exposure was
made with q river in the foreground.
The finished picture revealed the figure
of a woman, apparently upright in the
water. To complete the mystery, the
body of a woman was found in the river
a few weeks afterward, in the exact
spot of which the photograph was
taken. Papers awhile ago were telling
of an exposure upon q haunted" house.
The negative showed a picture at a win
dow, said to be that of o man murdered
there. A photograph OF a garden
showed a dog, a child's dress, and a
hat, which had not been there at the
time the plate was exposed. Upon trac-
ing the history of this glass it was found
that it had been used for other films,
1t had been washed, immersed in nitric
acid, and every means used to insure
chemical cleanliness, yet energy enough
remained latent to form a developable
image upon the new film. This is a
step toward the solution of the mystery
of "ghost photography."-Chieago In
ter Ocean.

PowerfaA New Signal LiRht,

A new signaling light of extraor-
binary power has been invented by Col.
Miklashevski, of the Russian engineers.
During the autumn maneuvers of the
Baltic squadron the signals were read
at a distance of "a nautical miles, and
the inventor hopes to increase the dis
lance to so miles by means of reflect
ing mirrors. The apparatus is compact,
weighing about seven pounds. 1t con-
tains spirit and two powders, one green,
the other red, the composition of which
the inventor keeps secret, The working
parts are two tubes ending in pear
shaped balls, which, being pressed, send
out a brilliant red or green flash; by q
combination of flashes messages are
formed. The powder keeps dry under
water. Each lantern costs about 100
rubles.-San Francisco Argonaut.

MACK or Drnb stock,nr..

A housekeeper says the proper way to
cleanse black or drab colored stockings
of cotton or Isle thread is to wash them
in bran water. Tie the bran in a mus
lin bag and shake this bag about in hot
water until the water is lather. Wash
the stockings in the water and then
wrap them in cloths and wiring well.
Shake the stockings out and dry quick
ly before the fire. Stockings washed in
this way retain their color.

without watching and depending on
her memory to return to it after q
definite time. That this, may not es-
cape her mind an inventor has CON
ceived the idea of applying the alarm
clock principle. An escapement actu-
ated by a spring is Enclosed in a metal
case with a dial and mechanism for
sounding an alarm at a predetermined
time. The apparatus forms a part Of
the ~utensil, and when set for a given
time by means of a pointer hand, OIL the
elapse of that interval a gong is
sounded.

The old superstition against opals is

are in the front rank of popularity

other gems, as it cannot be initiated.
