Disinfection After the Play.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The fact that the management of the
Academy and ST. Charles theaters of this
city have determined to disinfect their
buildings after performance" remarked
Mr. Girault Farrer last night. SIS very
good thing. not alone because 1t is neces-
sary just at present. but because II means
that a new and commendable custom has
beea Instituted by Mr.. Rowies that will
take hold in every city In the country.
The theaters and big assembly halls are
always more or less liable to germs and
microbes. and a little fornnaldehyde gas
distributed after the buildings have been
vacated Will do much to create q better
atmosphere and efectually prevent the
danger of contagion or infection. This Is
no, merely the case during a pestilential
outbreak, but at all times. II Is q good
move at present. and a good one. for that
matter, at any time"

A domestic science teacher reminds her
class that in serving fish. whether 1t be
shell fish or the claw creatures like lob
sters crabs and the like. tea should be
kept from the table. Coffee is the one proper
drink to offer with such a menu. Tea with
meat is equally unnecessary and indigesti-

A new BICYCLE.
The Ingenious Invention Of "a Young
Pennsylvania Mechanic.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
An invention which, in the opinion of
the Commissioner of Patents, army officers
and the limited few who have seen it,
will revolutionle the bicycle, has just
come to light, though it has been perfect
ed for some little time and patents
secured by the inventor in every country
issuing such papers The inventor is
Harry r. Collins, of South Bethlehem,
Pa, young machinist, who, until two
years ago, was in charge of the largest
and most Important machine in the
ordnance department of the bethlehem
Iron Works, which makes the guns for
the Government, and who is a thoroughly
skilled Mechanic.
Over two years ago Mr.. Collins, who
is an enthusiastic bicycIist, while out rid
ing one Sunday afternoon, had the tire of
his wheel punctured, and MAS compelled
to walk ten miles over rough country
roads to get back home. That exreri-
ence set Mr.. Collios' inventive brain to
work to evolve an idea for IL bicycle
which would not break down and leave
the .1ider stranded in the country far
away from railroad stations.
AT first he thought of tire that
would not puncture, but could not evolve
any new ideas in that direction. FINALLY
Mr.. Collins hit upon the idea which he
has now patented and which, as stated
Before. promises to revolutionize the con-
struction OF bicycles. 1t took Mr. Collins
considerable time to perfect his plans,
which are worked out on n scientific
basis and for which the Government has
granted him seventeen patents, the same
number Of patents having been taken out
in England, Germany, France, Canada
and other countries.
Mr. Collins has been quietly working
on his invention in IL little shop in South
Bethlehem for over two years, and, bar
ring his father-in-law and four OF five
friends, no one knew anything about his
having invented new bicycle. AS soon
as his patents had heen granted General
Miles asked Mr.. Collins to build him ten
machines for trial by Uncle Sam
soldiers, aud the District of Columbia
authorities placed an order for lumber
of wheels to be used by the police. Mr..
Collins, not yet having formed stock
company, and not being ready to put the
product of his brain on the market, has
been forced to turn down these orders, as,
for instance, he was compelled to turn
down an order from the New York
Athletic Club for 100 wheels of his make.
General Miles request has been granted,
but MIR. Collins is not in position at
present to receive orders fir. m any one
else, as his stock COMPANY which is prac-
tically formed, in not yet Incorporated;
q factory must first tie built, site for
the same chosen, and machinery. on
which he is now working, constructed

Color Photography.

Amateur photographers are now ex-
perimenting extensively with the new
process OF color photography. The
nature OF the chemicals used is a secret,
although the method is very simple.
Over forty shades may be produced
from the three primary colors used.
The Photographic plate is developed in
the usual manner, after the color
liquids are applied. Most Of the col
ored photographs seen heretofore have
been painted by hand. The new auto
matte process gives much finer results.
Pictures OF landscapes and marine
views are very satisfactory. But the
most striking are those taken Of sol
diers Of the French army. Gorgeous
reds, blues, both light and dark, gold
buttons, and laces show with great
brilliancy. Even precious stones have
been pictured clearly by the new pro-
cess. II is so delicate that not only
flesh tints but actual differences in
complexion show.
Your picture may be taken in all the
colors Of nature, giving color Of hair,
ewes and skin. Spring bonnets and
new gowns may be shown to best adj
vantage. 1t is thought that at last sat.
isfactory photographing Of oil paintings
may be accomplished.

that the city of London needs de-

much less than half; and yet the shift
