way the negative escaped from the
hands of the photographer and found
its way to New York. Prints were
made Of it for the purpose of illustrat-
ing new process of photography. OF
course nobody knew who the beautiful
original was. and the prints were scat
tered broadcast. So long as the pic
ture went to the photograph trade only,
Mrs. Bright did not hear of IT, But
when some cnterprislng photographer
reproduced 1t in large sizes, labeled it
"A Southern Beauty" anu sold it to
fancy shops, which offered the pictures
for sale at II cents copy, Mrs.
wrote to her about the matter and the
lady was naturally indignant. Her
husband engaged Il detective and or
dered him to buy up all the copies he
could. Disguised as n peddler Of pho
tographs he purchased all that were
offered for sale. When he CHANGED into
the shop Of dealer named Rosenbaum,
in Park row. he found 600 of the prints.
These had been bought at auction for
SO. When the detective offered to take
the lot ROsenbaum demanded $33,
which was promptly paid. Then the
dealer told the detective that he had
bundle of pictures OF two more South
ern beauties" but when they came to
he examined they were found to he not
society women. but concert hall per-
formers in New Orleans. in whom the
detective was not interested. Now that
the story is out, it is probable the sup
ply of Mrs. Bright's pictures will in
crease and the offerings be SO large as
TO go beyond che capacity of Mr..
Brlght's bankoaccount to pay for.

Eor and CoaI Gns

According to the statement OF Prof
Iiewes, n London fog deprives coal
gas of Ill per cent of its Illuminating
power, but this is not so astonishing as
Is the fact that, under similar circum.
stances, the searching light of an In.
candesccnt burner loses as much as
20.S of Its efficacy. The reason given
by Prof. Lewcs for this phenomenon
is that the spectrum of both the incan
descent and the electric light mp
proaches very nearly that of the solar
spectrum. being very rich in the violet
and ultraviolet rays. 1t Is precisely
these rays WHICH csN-,t make their
