Photographing From Kites.

William A. Eddy writes on this subject
in the May Century, his article being one
of three on Scientific Kite Flying" Mr..
Eddy says: The rush of light into q CAM
era high in the air is apt to cause over
exposure, and when very high altitude
is attained above smoky city the build
ings photographed are not so clear as those
taken when the camera is nearer the roofs.
In some instances the foreground will be
perfectly clear while the distance seems
to suffer from slight WAIVER of the cam
era. Sometimes the ground appears to
be whirling, giving only fragmentary
glimpses of objects, while in extreme cases
there is nothing but n rotary streak. DC
casional maplike vertical views are desir'
able, yet it is usually better to get per-
spective horizontal view, which Is more
interesting. The midair camera, even
with an ordinary lens, makes buildings
and scenes look not so far away as they
are. In photograph taken with camera
above the city hall, New York, the heights
of Brooklyn look very near. The elect Is
like mirage, distant landscape, ordina-
rly invisible, seeming to rise into the sky.
Some pictures have been taken diagonally,

I'm position resembling the shape of a
diamond, while others appear to be tipped
slightly, and some arc perfectly square ana

familiar with the industrial uSaCes in
some cities of South and Central America
say that there the number of holidays
seem TO exceed the number of working

not fewer than n dozen church festivals,
and there are besides patriotic festivals.
A similar state of affairs exists in all
Latin countries and Is 10 be found in the

anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto
and Alabama the day of Mardi Gras De
Quoting the Sundays and holidays, the
number of working days in the United
States, exclusive of the gulf states, is 300.
| In Russia there are 267 working days;
Great Britain has 27S; Portugal, 1888;

other Happenings.

The owner of large lot OF land, stu
oted along the shore OF Lake Superior at
the canal, Mr.. Smith, has second time
begun proceedings to get John Olson oil
tbe little piece OF land three miles up the
shore from the canal, on which Smith
owns tax title. Olson ia an old man,
with no means, who manages to exc out
q miserable existence for his family by
6shing in the summer and from the pro-
duct OF the acre or two he has IN several
wears cleaner up and on which he has
built little house. The land Olson oc-
cupies can be OF little use to Smith, GER
tainly not enough to deprive the old man
of the only way he has OF getting living.
The stuff that can be grown on the piece
would not pay for hauling over poor
road for three miles and is only Of value
when eaten on the spot. The case has
every appearance OF persecution, not
prosecution.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
Interesting Bits of History Relating to the
Doctrines Origin.

Near.Ja century has passed since the
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions raised
tie question of state sovereignty versus ma
tional sovereignty III the question were
asked as To where the doctrine of state SOW
eroignty originated and where 10 was PUT
forth as the law of the land, perhaps most
If the answers would declare that IL orig
mated I'm the former slaveholding states.
The answer IL incorrect.
The colonies were Independent of each
other, but were an integral part Of the en-
pire. When they became states, the Decla-
ration OF Independence described them as
free and independent, but not as sovereign.
The commonwealth have adopted 112 con-
stitutions the ID southern states, BIB, not
one of which has described the state as
sovereign; the 80 northern states, 81, of
which have described the state not only as
free and independent but as sovereign.
Connecticut was the first to use the word
sovereign, in the act of the general court OF
I776--in substance bill of rights-con-
tinuing the charter as the civil government
Of the state The word does not occur in
the constitution of 1918. The articles OF
confederation approved by the states in
1881 declared that each retained its sover-
eighty and every power not expressly del
egated to the United States-almost a
quotation from the constitution of Massa.
| uhusotts adopted the year before. This con.
stitution is still in force. In its constitu-
ton Of 1884, and again in 1892, New
| Hampshire made the same claim, and did
not abandon it till 1876.
In the treaty of peace of 1888 the king
treated with the several states as free, SOW
ereign and independent. The word does
not occur in the constitution, but the idea,
as the debates show, was discussed at
length. Elhridgo Gerry declared that the
states never had been independent. and on
the principles of the confederation never
could be, but was Immediately answered
by Luther Martin that "the language OF
| the states being sovereign and independent
was once familiar ana understood, though
it seemed suddenly TO have become strange
and obscure.
The rejected New Jersey plan based the
government OF the Union on the states az
sovereign. Doubtless the convention pur
posely left the definition of sovereignty tt
be made by administration. But that {
compromise was made is suggested in The
sixty second number of The Fedoralst, q
which Hamilton was probably the author
"The equal vote in each state is at once 1
constitutional recognition of the portion
of sovereignty remaining in the individual
states and an instrument for preserving
that residuary sovereignty. This, it viii
be remembered, was written in 1883
However unphilosopbical the notion o
"residuary sovereignty" it was destined

HIS SCHEME WORKED.

Had His Morning Nap.

A Vermont man here tells an incident
of Representative II. II. Powers career as
n schoolteacher in Tinmouth, town of
Rutland, in days when pedagogues g" board
ed rplnd" Powers was n little slow IN
rising and acquired reputation for this
among those thrifty people. In the course
of his round of boarding houses Of the
town he was destined to reach the house
of Tlihu Cramton, father of the Hon. John

Rardwcll House Cram6on was known lar
and wide as an early riser His regular
hour ia summer was 1880 O'Clock and in
winter 5 O'Clock He ate his breakfast
shortly after the rising hour and every
member of the household had to be on

easy going for chat community, and he let
il be understood that there would be u
change in the young mans hour of rising
shortly after he reached the Cramton
household.
This threat was not long In reaching the
young schoolmaster,s ears. He formed ms
plans and bided his tiihe. In the course OF
events his belongings were transferred to
the Cramton house, and he followed them.
His room was assigned to him. and he took
good care To provide himself with an in
tcresting novel for the first night. When
he came in rather late in the evening, he
went to his room, bundled himself up

JIM LANE OF KANSAS.
Colonel Higginson's Account of Meeting
With Him In Nebraska City.

The tavern where / lodged in Nebraska
City was miserable enough, the beds fear
fully dirty, the food indigestible and the
table eagerly besct by three successive re-
lays of men. One day commotion took
place in the street. People ran out to the
doors, and some 30 rough riders came can
tering up to the hosiery. They might
have been border raiders, for all appearance
of cavalry order. Some rode horses, some
mules some had brides; others had lari-
ats of rope; one man had slight sem
blance of uniform and seemed sort of
| lieutenant. The leader was thin man OF
middle age in "a gray wooden shirt, with
keen eyes, smooth tongue and a capacity
/ of courteous and even fascinating man
ncrs, u sort of Prince Rupert of humber
grade. This was the then celebrated jim

He was now retreating from the territory
with his men, in Difference to the orders OF
the United States governor, Geary, who
was making an attempt more or less seri-
Gus to clear Kansas of armed bands on both
sides.
Lane stopped two days in Nebraska City,
and | did something toward refitting the
