CUBAN REPUBLIC,S PRESIDENT.
Report of Cisneros' Death Discredited by
Junta Officials.

New York, Feb. 25.---Nothing had
been heard at the office of the Cuban
junta to-day of the alleged death Of
President Salvado Cisneros, of the Gu
ban republic. The officers Of the junta
were inclined to doubt the story
The death of President Cisneros, it
was said at the junta, would not af-

and General Marti nearly two years
ago or the more recent death of Gen
eral Antonio Maceo.

PHOTOGRAPHIC MYSTERIES.
The Surprising Images That Sometimes
Show After Plate Is Developed.

The surprising Images That Sometimes
Show After a Plate Is Developed.
1t is no uncommon experience to find
upon new plates certain images for
which there seems no possible explana-
ton, their startling and unaccountable
appearance being "wropt in mistry,"
causing establishment not unmiXed with
uncanny feeling. A gentleman made
an exposure upon the interior of
friends house. He was doubtful of the
time and proceeded to develop for un-
der exposure. To his great surprise the
plate developed quickly, and to his
greater surprise the image was an i'll
terror quite different from that upon
which he had exposed. The plate was
from fresh box and could not possibly
have had a previous exposure.
Another instance of the kind, having
quite a sensational and tragic ending,
is on record. An exposure was made
upon IA view having a river in the fore
ground. The photographer while de-
veloping this peculiar plate, was per-
fectly astounded by an appearance
which he had not seen while taking the
photograph, and for which he could in
no way account On completing the
development there was plainly reveal
ed in the foreground of the picture the
figure of a woman, apparently floating
upright i'll the water. Not many weeks
after, to complete the mystery, the body
of a woman was found in the river at
the exact spot where the photograph
had been taken
Again, not long since, the daily pa
pers We're agitated over the account of
a travelling photographer who, upon
making an exposure upon the exterior
of reputed haunted house, discovered
at one of the windows portrait of the
murdered man through whom the
house had gained its evil name. In an
other case three distinct images, having
no connection one with the other, were
impressed upon single film. The plate
was exposed upon a garden in the even
ing-nothing remarkable being seen-
but when placed i'll the developer Il
mans hat of old fashioned shape,
child's dress and dog We're distrib-
uted over the image of the garden
Such mysterious images were more
common in the days of wet plates than
now. y few years back Professor Bur
ton investigated the matter. Upon trac-
ing back the history of the glass he
found that it had been used for other
films, and that the images which APP
peared undoubtedly arose from the re-
mains of previous images. The old
glass was thus proved to be the source
of the ghosts; it only deepened the sci
entitic mystery, while it cleared away
the supernatural. The glass traced by
Burton had been washed for some
weeks, immersed i'll strong nitric acid,
and every means taken to insure chem
zeal cleanliness, yet in spite of all this
enough energy remained latent to form
developable image upon the new film,
whether by chemical or physical force
remains to be discovered. \ complete
solution of the difficulty would prob
ably throw considerable light upon the
nature of the Photographic images in
general. AT least, it seems to indicate
that light is not absolutely essential in
the formation of latent images in
sensitive film.-American Journal of
Photography.

SPANKING AN ELEPHANT.


Did you ever see an elephant spanked:
Scarcely, for they don't do such things
i'll this country, but they do in India
Captain Martin of the British army,
stationed at Campbellpore, vouchcs for
this story: Elephant Abdul (No. 15}
was on trial for killing his keeper, Sycp
Ramboucles, by picking him up by the
legs and crushing his skull against a
tree.
The president of the court martial was
Major Cameron of the Thirty fourth
Hagras native infantry. He read the
charge, and then witnesses proved that
Abdul was guilty as charged. The pres
ldCnt then sentenced the culprit to 90
lashes and to two years imprisonment
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and i'll the presence of the whole
battery the punishment began. The cul-
prit trumpeted i'll fear and made an IN
earthly noise.
There We're II elephants on one side
and the officers and men of the battery
on the other three. In the center of this
hollow square stood Lalla NO. -, the
foegsr, and the prisoner. The latter
was chained by the four legs to as many
heavy iron pegs and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an i'm
mense cable chain When all was ready,
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with a resounding
whack. Abdul reared for all he was
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
Il compound, where he remained IA pris-
oner for two years. New York Journal.
