Composite Photographs.

A composite photograph is n very inter
esting study and is often used to illustrate
class, as, for instance, scholars in "a Ger
tain class are photographed one after the
other on the same plato, and the picture is
supposed to bring out the prominent char
acteristics of tho class In the same way
u club of athletes, team OF football or
baseball players are photographed. The
children Of one family make II good COM
posite photograph, and Francis Galton,
tho man who originated the plan of max
ing pictures in this way, said that if a
picture of child should be made at the
rate of one each six months or year, the
result, after number of years, would
make a most interesting study of the
growth of family typo or characteristic
To mako composite picture the heads
must all be posed in the same position and
on the same line and of course at the same
distance from the camera. A full faco
view or u perfect profile is the best position
for composite photograph, and tho full
face is to be preferred as when the picture
is taken in profile the composite" nose Is
most peculiar shape.
TO regulate the time of exposure for a
composite picture tho time required for
correct exposure of ono picture is divided
among the number of persons to be pho
tographed. II the correct exposure takes
ton seconds and there are ten persons to
be photographed then for each sitter the
plate should he exposed one second. .-Har-

BRUTAL FRENCH SOCIALISTS.
They Cruelty Insult NJ. Brisson, Pres
ident of the Chamber,

ident of the Chamber.
Paris. June 1.-The scene In the
chamber of deputies on Saturday dur
ing the Jaures Incident, when NJ. Bris-
son, president of the chamber, sus-
pended the sitting and sent for the
military guard to remove NJ. Richard
the Socialist deputy, who had referred
to some of his colleagues as police
spies" was one of unwonted scandal
and violence M. Brisson, after busi-
ness was resumed, declined to hear
Jaures, who interpellated the govern
ment on what he called IAN attempt
to muzzle a deputy" basing his refusal
on the ground that no notice of inter-
pellation had been given. A furious
uproar followed. M. Brisson was pale
with anger, but kept himself well un-
der control.
"Never in the bitterest invective en-
ployed against an opportunist' minis
ter was there greater violence than in
the language of which M. Brisson. who
owes his seat largely to the socialist
vote, was the object"
"Bas, Brisson," "Canaille de Brisson," I"
Mort Brisson" miserable reaction
ary, you will never be president; trail
tor that you are" "Old rascal resign,
resign"
These are fair samples Of the epi-
thets which the entire socialist party
standing on the floor Of the chamber
hurled at the president, while he, un-
able to maintain order, brought the
sitting to an abrupt close. Never had a
maddened minority exerted more ty-
rannical power to humiiate a repre-
sentative body. 1t is this element Of
humiliation that made the scene 50 un-
utterably painful and suggestive.

FIRE FIGHTERS KILLED.
Two Lost Life While Waiting to
Aid an Injured Comrade.
BURIED UNDER A FALLING WALL

Big Cracker Factory in San Francisco
Destroyed by Sunday Fire-Panic
Among Prisoners in Nearby Po-
lice station.
San Francisco, June IA fire in the
southeastern part of the city at noon
yesterday cost three liremen their lives
and entailed property loss of 100000.
The dead are: John Mahoney, of
chemical engine No. G; Frank Keller,
steward of hose cart No. 2; James Hal
lenin. driver of truck No. 1.
The fire started mysteriously in the
four story brick building owned by
Schoth & Westerfield and leased to the
Standard Biscuit company. The only
occupants of the building yesterday
were John Erwin, the bookkeeper, and
w. Cook, the cashier, who were at work
in the office. Cook departed at II, and
Erwin was still occupied with his books
at noon when a fireman rushed in con-
Veying the information that the build
ing was ablaze in the upper stories.
Erwin had been unconscious of the fire,
which had been observed but a few
minutes earlier by several pedestrians.

with extraordinary rapidity. Adjacent
to the brick factory was d row of old
wooden buildings, including branch
of the Salvation Army barracks AMI
the southern police station The police
station contained only three prisoners,
but the terrified yells and appeals of
the trio to be liberated caused intense
excitement among the gathering crowds.
They We're transferred as quickly as
possible to the central station.
Meanwhile floor after floor Of the
cracker factory fell In. rendering the
walls unsafe. Then the east wall of the
factory toppled over and sheet of
flame spread over the area adjoining.
With the crash of the east wall oc-
Cured the tragedy of the conflagration.
A score of firemen were in an adjoin-
Ing paint shop, endeavoring from that
spot to check the spread of the flames
A falling timber struck Fireman Ma
honey on the leg, breaking it. He re-
fused to allow his comrades to carry
him away in their arms, insisting that
he must be borne Off on a shutter
All but two of the band of firemen
ran to procure shutter. and Just as
they left their injured comrade the wall
fell, burying beneath a mass of blick
and mortar Mahoney and his faithful
friends BY dint Of much dangerous
labor, the three bodies were recovered.
The loss to the brick building is es-
timated at $4,000, with $4,000 loss on
the contents, consisting of machinery
and stock. The damage to the Saliva
ton Army barracks was $1,000 and to
the police station nominal. The biscuit
, factory was operated by a corporation
organized a year ago and was trans
acting large and prosperous business.
The cause of the fire Is as yet unknown.

THE SPEEDY PORTER.
The Torpedo Boat Gives an Exhibition
of Remarkable Sailing.


New York, June THE United States
torpedo boat Porter came out of dry
dork Saturday afternoon with new
paint on her steel bot%m, which had
been swept bare within three weeks
by friction of water occasioned by her
remarkable speed. Her final trial is
understood to have been fixed for to-
morrow. and yesterday the Porter drop
ped around to Communlpaw to take
coal preparatory thereto. and incident
ally to ascertain II all else was in
proper form Lieutenant Fremont In
command. took her down around Scot
land Lightship and back again. The
stretch from the battery to Scotland
Lightship Is q miles, the round trip is
AZ, and the time in which the Porter
Travelled this distance was 1 hour
and SO minutes. And she did it easily
for at no time was more than 200
pounds of steam pressure developed,
and that only for short time. While 60
ing, down the harbor she sailed at only
half speed.
The little United States patrol boat
Argus put out ahead from Quarantine,
but she seemed anchored as the Porter
swept by her, overhauling the Schuy-
Ter abreast Hoffman Island at 900
o'clock. 20 minutes from the start. Be-
low Swinburne Island and through the
Horse Shoe the little craft stepped
along at about 80 miles an hour, and at
this speed she was a beautiful spec
tacle viewed from astcrn.
Standing directly over her screws,
whirling 400 times per minute. there
was not vibration enough to interfere
with letter writing, had that been pos
sible in the rush of air occasioned by
her speed.
AT lO.0S o'clock the fast nineteen knot
screw steamboat Sandy Hook was
sighted coming down on her regular
trip. The Porter slowed, and rounding
astern the Sandy Hook came abreast
and left her behind as though she were
at anchor. The black, lean witch crossed
the bowsof the big boat, bore about and
again headed for home. Less than five
minutes Lad been consumed by the Por-
ter in drawing foamy circle about the
big steamboat. Which had meantime pre-
served full speed.

A very curious observation was made by
DIR. Manson during his adventurous jour-
noy toward the north pole concerning the
effects of the tides on the floating ice The
worst pressures experienced by his ship,
the Fran, when enclosed in ice Except
those due to high windS) occurred regular
ly about the time of new and full moon,
the greatest being at new moon. Tho
reason was because tho tidal currents near
the margin Of the polar ice fields drive the
coating ice before them, and at. new and
full moon the tidal attraction Of the sun
is added to that Of the moon, so that they
may be said to pull together, and the effect
on the sea is increased. DR.. NansGn also
observed that the ice does not form by di.
rect freezing on the Polar sea to thick
ness exceeding l3 feet. That was the
maximum noticed by him, but in the leo
fields the thickness becomes greatly in
creased by the pilng up of broken masses
under tho action of winds and waves.
1.-The massive ice cap which many expor-
ers hnve believed to cover the polar area, "
he said in his recent lecture In London,
"has been shattered. Instead of it we have
ever wandering ice fields. Youth q Com

Tho Jewish festival of "Shebouth," or
the Feast of Weeks, was observed yester.
day In all the Hebrew synagogues. 1t
commentaries the revelation on Mount
Sinai when Moses was given the Ten
Commandments on tablets of stone.
Originally the day was observed by an
Offering Of the first fruits of the harvest.
This custom has, however, been succeeded
in some of the congregations by the con.
tirmation services.
Unusual impressiveness is now given
the observance of the rite by having tho
children take an important part 10 the
service, to which their parents and friends
are interested witnesses. Sermons ap.

the different rabbis and special musical
programs are generally arranged Frag.

Standwood Dodge was arrested here
Saturday for passing forged check.
A large number of checks on Washing
ton and Alexandria banks were found
in his possession, also a letter sup

ing in Maine. and that he was "A lieu.
tenant in company in the Fifth Mas

He denies that he or his wife were ever

description given on several postal
cards received at police headquarters
for men who are wanted for crooked
work. The prisoner is about SO years
of age
