Photograph.


Photograph.
1t has been known for a long time
that if the suns rays are allowed &c
shine upon the glass side of a photo
graphic negative and the eye is brought
into the proper position it is possible
to see the positive picture in the origi-
nal natural colors of the object photo
graphed- From a scientific standpoint
this is sometimes matter Of very
great Importance. In order to bring out
this quality of negative independently
Of the suns rays Professor Lippmann
has, after long study. constructed an
apparatus which enables him to obtain
the same result with artificial light He
employs gas lamp with a Welsbach
burner, the rays of which are thrown
upon the negative by means of a lens,
in order to have the rays strike the neg
alive parallel.
The negative is for the purpose
mounted upon a wooden stand with a
black polished surface. Another large
lens, held in black frame, is mounted
on a separate stand. and a diaphragm
held upon the same stand Is provided
Immediately in front Of the focus of
this larger lens. To see the picture in
all its natural beauty of color the angle
at which the negative is examined must
be exactly the same as the angle at
which the parallel rays strike it. 1t is
in the reflection of the light rays and
its distribution through the larger lens
that the picture, which is fastened upon
the negative in dull black tones, is
again dissolved into its original re-
splendent beauty. Aside from its scien-
tific importance, it is matter of con-
siderable moment, for instance, in re-
production of portraits in oil after a
photograph, since tints of hair, eyes
and complexion are plainly discernible
in the artiicially colored positive thus
produced from the black negative. -Ex-

SENDING OUT THE LAWS.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Austin, Tex, Aug. THE secretary
of state is busy sending out the gen
eral laws of the regular session of
the last Legislature. The price of
these is % cents at the department
and so cents by mail. Heretofore the
general laws have been sold at 20
and % cents per copy, but owing to
the book being more voluminous this
year the price was advanced to 80
cents by mail. Lawyers and those
desiring copies of the new session acts
should remit 80 cents instead of 20
cents as heretofore.
The State department expects to
have the special session laws and
special laws 9th regular session
printed and ready for distribution the
latter part of this month. The price
of these laws will be 10 cents for
general laws of the extra session and
20 cents for the special laws of the
regular session.

TO OPPOSE REMOVAL.

KilgOre and Springer Want to Hold
Their Territorial Benches.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, Aug. THE right of
the president to remove summarily a
territorial judge is likely to be tested
in the event of early appointments be-
ing made to the judiciary for the In
dian territory. 1t is known that Judge
Kilgore, formerly of Texas and Sprin-
ger of Illinois, will oppose their re-
moval from the bench if it is attempt
ed by President Mckinley before the
expiration of four years from the date
of their appointment.
The president has for some time been
considering the reorganization of the
territorial courts and the department
of justice has been expecting such ac-
ton for the past three months. 1t is
not improbable now that the president
may prefer to let these judges serve 4
years rather-than invite a contest upon
his right to make such removal
The appointments have already been
deferred beyond the time when they
were expected to be made. Although
these territorial judgeships are sub
ject to change by the president, there
is a general feeling that removal for
purely partisan reasons is unseemly
IL not in violation of the spirit of the
constitution under which other United
States judges hold offices during good
behavior. As stated these judges in
tend informally to test the point if
their early removal is decided upon.

McENERY DOOMED.
May, Be Pushed Up the Louisiana
Gubernatorial Simmon.

Nav, Be Pushed Up the Louisiana
Gubernatorial Simmon.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, Aug. THE Nc
Emery reception at the Grand opera
house Wednesday night was not quite
as overlooking and demonstratiye as
the admirers of the senator expected
and the resolution adopted, thanking
Senator Caffery for his devotion TO his
party principles and thanking Mr.. Nc
Emery for securing future material
benefits to this state is locked upon
as a most ridiculous straddle.
The Daily States has been pouring
heavy broadsides into McEnery and
his admirers, with the result that there
is considerable irritation in the DEM
ocratic party and as predicted last
Saturday it will probably result in an
absolute split Of the party in two fac
tions.
The most interesting bit of political
gossip that is being discussed on the
streets is that which involves the re-
entry of Senator McEnery in the state
politics. A movement seems already
on foot to make Senator McEnery the
Democratic nominee for governor
at the next election. The subject is
being discussed wherever politicians
hang out, and there is reason to be-
lieve that if Senator McEnery can be
induced to consent to the use of his
name again in his interest 1t will be
started as soon as the constitutional
convention gets Through with its
work. Opinions differ as to what
. course McEenery would be likely to
pursue If pressed to answer an 1nvi-
tation to consent to become a candi-
date. On one hand it is said that
the senator finds the service as sena-
tor not entirely to his liking owing to
his impaired sense of hearing. He
finds difficulty in following the pro-
ceedings of the Senate and is unable
to participate in debates as he would
like TO do and as he would be able
to do if his hearing was good. Further
than that the senator is an extremely
poor man, having only his salary to
depend upon and it is suggested that
for financial reasons he might be in
duced to return to Louisiana, and
serve again as governor, that Office
having always been entirely congen-
ial TO his tastes. One obstacle in the
way, gossip goes, is the fact that the
present salary of governor is so small
as to. make it difficult for the occupant
of the office to live without stinting
upon it. But to get around this OBJ
stacle it is said that proposition is
to be. made to the constitutional con-
ventiOn to increase the salary and
make 1t commensurate with the digni-
ty, responsibilities and commands of
the office. Prominent politicians say
that Senator McEenery would be like
ly TO consent to spend most of the
remainder of his public life in the gu
bernatorial chair provided the con-
vention will increase the salary.

GERMANY PROTESTS
Against the New Tariff Act so far as
Section five applies to Ger
man Sugar.

Against the New Tariff Act so far as
Section five applies to Ger
man Sugar.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, Aug. THE German
government has again entered a for
NAL protest against the application to
German sugar of section five, of the
new tariff act, by which sugar would
be taxed with a higher duty than that
from other countries. 1t is not denied,
however, that the German sugar.clear-
ly comes within the provisions of sec
ton five by reason of the payment OF
an export bounty, but the contention
is made that the additional duty inn
posed is in effect discrimination
against German sugar, which is in
compatible, both with the most ia
vored nation rights that are secured to
German producers by the treaties now
in force, and also with the provisions
of the Saratoga agreement of August
%, 1896.
As to the first contention the Ger
man charge d'affaires, Mr.. Won Rech-
enau, in his note to the secretary of
state, appears to revive the position
taken in June, 1896, with respect TO
the duties leviable upon bountied SUI
gars. The matter was then consider
ed in connection with the discrimin-
atipg tariff provision of August %,
1894, in relation to salt duties, by the
attorney general MIR. Olney, who held
that under the act salt was legally
dutiable. Mr.. Won Rechenau's note
refers generally to treaties, but il
seems that his particular reference is
to treaty of May l, 1898, between the
United States and Prussia. 1t is OBJ
served by the State department that
it is still without any information from
the German government on the point
raised by Mr.. Olney as to whether
the treaty with Prussia is to be taken
as effective with respect to other por-
tons of the empire, or is applicable
only to the productions of Prussia eX-
ported from Prussia. AS to the con-
tentlon that the tariff provision is in
compatible with the terms of the
Saratoga agreement of August 1891,
the State department takes the posi-
ton that the agreement ceased with
the passage of the tariff act of August
q, 1894, which repealed section 3 of
the act of Oct. l, 1890. No reference
whatever is made in Mr.. Won Rech-
enau's note to the other provisions
of the act which extends the scope OF
the increased duties to include all
goods upon which an export bounty is
paid.
