Wages Must Come Down. v

Senator Elkins, of West Virginia
one of the bituminous coal kings, ana
great Republican champion Of pro-
lection, declared, in a recent inter
view, that "the coal miners wages
must come down."
This is a pretty declaration to be
made at time when high tariff IS
being pushed through Congress ior
the pretended reason ofincreasing the
wages of the working people. Ana
in view of the fact that the bitumlnouS
coal miners are getting scarcely
enough to keep them from starving,
what is the amount that Elkins thinks
they should be brought down to II
their pay were made any less they
would work for nothing.
Why does Senator Elkins think tina!
the pay ofthe miners should be lower
1t is for the reason, as he declares
that ''wages in America stand in the
way of any revival of business" Ac'
cordlng to his view business VIII lo'
recover as long as workingmen receive
the wages they are now getting. CapF
tai can't stand such drain.
This is a different story from tha'
which was told on the stump beioie
the last election. Then the working
men were assured that by voting io'
Mckinley they would secure the pass,
age of tariff that would ensure theui
good wages and make the county
prosperous. Now they are told "
Elkins that business can be revlVe'
and prosperity restored only by iTe' re-
ducing the pay of the working people'

STRANGE coLoa eMoroeRApHs.
Process In WAieh No Pigmsnts or Col
orea Washes nre Used.


ored washes are Used.
The London Times says O private
exhibition was given day or two ago
of some Of the results obtained by the
new process Of color photography
Which has been devised by Cornish
man, Mr.. Benuetto. The methods and
indeed the principle employed, remain
the secret of the inventor, and 1t Is in
tended that they shall remain 30 until
several more details and applications
| of the invention have been more fully
worked out. All that is at present
known is that the inventor, who has
been occupied with the subject for the
last eight years. claims to have dis
| covered the first true and direct sys-
tenn of color photography by which
| can be transformed to a Photographic
negative and thence printed on glass
| or paper the exact natural colors of
| the object toward which the camera
| has been directed. He employs no
pigments. his plates have not to be
washed with various colored solu-
tions, and II is not necessary to view
his pictures through any combinations
of tinted glasses. The colors are i'm
printed on the plate just as are the
light and shade In an ordinary mono
chrome photograph and are directly
visible to the eye. 1t may be men,
toned that Mr.. Bennetto In his earli-
est experiments could get no effects
with q less exposure than three min
utes; now he is able to work with ex-
posures of sixteen seconds.
Whatever may have been the meth
DDS used. the pictures produced by
them attain a high standard of excel
lence. One of the best specimens
shown was a study of a sunrise. Ia
ken early one morning in the middle
Of June, 1895, in which the fiery orange
Of the dawn and the heavy masses of
clouds were admirably represented.
The clouds, again, were excellent in n
typical picture of Cornish seashore
scenery, and the ttnts of the sand and
rocks and their reflections in the pools
were faithfully reproduced. On the
other hand. in some pictures flowers
were rather lacking in lustre. Posi-.
bly, this Is question of exposure.
Perhaps the picture which best illus
trated the capabilities of the process
was one Of champagne bottle stand
Ing on white tablecloth and sur
rounded with various fruits. Here
there We're three or four different
whites which We're all distinguishable,
but which it would probably have
taxed the powers Of any artist to rep
resent by painting. The gold foil on
the bottle was exactly rendered, and
1t was possible to tell that 1t was full
by the prismatic CLEAN Of the liquid
The one unsatisfactory thing in the
picture was a spoon, whose sparkle
was quite lost; it looked as IL it might
have been made of cardboard, covered
with dull silver paper. The inventor
looks forward, among other things. to
revolutionizing by this process the H.
lustration Of books and magazines, and
hopes to show in the future how to
fash a picture on a screen so that a
permanent copy may be left behind.

A SHREWD TRICK.
Which Helped the Excavators in Digging
Their Trench.

Which Helped the Excavators in Digging
| Their Trench.
People in general cannot understand
the doings Of student Of nature. Es-
pecially quite ignorant persons are apt
to conclude, when told that the objects
Of his search are fossils or minerals,
that under this explanation is con-
cealed the purpose Of securing some
buried treasure. for that is the only
thing that would induce them to dig.
Mr. A. L. Adams relates an amusing
instance Of this reasoning:
While excavating a large cavern on
the southern coast Of Malta, we had
dug q trench in the soil on it's floor
some six feet In depth, In quest Of or
ganic remains. The natives In the vi
cinity. hearing Of our presence, came
In numbers daily to witness the pro-
eeedings. interrogating the workmen
with reference to the object of our re-
searches. Of which the workmen were
about as ignorant as themselves.
One afternoon three stalwart fellows
paid us visit, and whilst they sat on
the heap Of dirt staring down into the
dark ditch below, l dropped Spanish
dollar on shovelful Of earth, and the
next moment it lay with the soil on
the heap. Picking 1t up in a careless
manner, l put 1t into our luncheon bag,
and few minutes afterward our
friends disappeared, muttering to one
another as they went.
Great was our amusement the next
morning to find that our trench had
been carried fully four feet below the
level we had gained on the previous
evening. Not only that; several other
excellent sections Of the floor had been
made by the natives in expectation Of
finding buried treasure.

''If they were after the runaway, W hat on
earth did he mean by going in this direc-

this he did not know.
Then it occurred to him that a runaway
with some sense and Judgment might be
expected to go to the river, steal q bateau,
and float down stream to avoid the hounds.
He had heard OF such tricks in his day and
time, and his hopes began to rise. But
they fell again, for he suddenly remembered
that the negro who left the scent which the
hounds were following could not possibly
have known that he.Was to be hunted with
dogs, consequently he would not he going
to the river to steal q boat. But wait!
Another thought struck Mr.. Simmons.
