secure the most ludicrous effect possible.
The machine, for it works purely on me-
chanical principles, never loses sight of
the principle of proportion for an in
slant. II is practically a reversal of the
work of nature in forming the face of
man. When. therefore, the opposite of
an individual is spoken of, what may be
meant is just what the caricature ma
chine makes. In other words, ii shows
what nature might have done had she
been of an opposite mind a the time Of
the growth of the individual
As the accompanying Illustration
makes plainly apparent, the machine is
neither complicated nor difficult to op-
crate. Look at the picture ard you
will see just exactly how it is done. The
apparatus is in the form of a letter T.
The numbers l, 2, 3, and 8 indicate the
holes in which the lower extre nifty of the
horizontal bar of the T is fixed. One of
the extremities of this ia provided
with point which fits all the hollows O,
a metal plate bearing the outlines OF the
physiognomy which it is intended to
caricature. This plate, when the draw
ing is placed upon the movable disc,
marked A, b, c, D. E, f, G, II can be
fixed in any desired position by the
spring marked o.
The subject upon which the picture
shows the machine to be working is Mrs
Hetty Green, whom We know over herr
as the richest woman in America. Incl
dentally might say that | have had The
machine tried on the pictures of a num-
Der of famous Americans, so that those
who read this article may Judge for
themselves just how the result really an
pears when familiar with the subject IN
question The left extremity of thu
longitudinal bar of the Y has a point
which in the picture is resting upon the
back of Mrs. Green's head The other
extremity of the same bar has attached
to it a pointed lead pencil and this is
drawing, when the bar is moved the ex-
act reverse Of the natural lines of Mrs
Green's face and head.
The horizontal bar can be moved in q
semicircle the distance marked by the
numbered holes This movement brings
the pencil point and its companion at
the other extreme of the longitudinal
bar to various points within given
space. and amply sufficient to complete
ly perform the task of caricaturing the
subject. The process of operating the
bars is, as can be seen from this, very
simple. consisting merely of movement
from right to left and vice versa. 1t re-
quires neither artistic taste nor skill TO
perform this task. So simple is the nee
essary action that sensible child can

with anything but a kindly eye, appar-
emily considering the majority of its in
habitants as natural enemies.
Fully as great a contras. exists be-
tween the picture of Chauncey NJ. Depew
as shown by the phhotogra piers lens
and the object of interest presented by
the caricature machine. Mr. Depew is
benignant appearing individual in real
life. After the machine has dwelt upon
him he has the appearance of man with
a profound grievance. There is some
thing about the face which makes one
think of a donkey, and surely there is
nothing of that sort about the original.
Mr. Depew is quite bald, but the carica-
ture intensifies it. One could never i'm
agine that it was possible to twist the
countenance of the greatest of racon-
teurs into such a strange arrangement
Of features as the caricature presents
You can almost see the tears ready to
We'll UP in the eyes. There is a general
air of sorrow and the impression which
an individual gives who is far from be-
ing at peace with the world.
Perhaps the strongest contrast Of all
is noticeable III the case of ex- Preside mt
Grover Cleveland. You would never meet
in Europe such looking man as tn.
caricature makes Of him. Mr.. Cleveland
* not al Adonis. but he always looks
like man OF mind and Of urbane ex-
perience. ] remember when travelling
in the United States some years ago of
seeing the prototype of ihe individual
the machine presents as Mr.. Cleveland.
lie had just arrived in the town of Chad
ron, Neb., with some cattle brought in
from the plains. | remember as he rode
up by the railway station his hat blew
CT and as he sat upon the porch there
hc PRESENTED exactly the appearance of
the caricature. The contrast between
Grover Cleveland and the cowboy is Ger
tainly as great as can be found. Mr..
CleVeland's face indicates tremendous
will, decision and the ability that makes
the statesman. TIE caricature shows
exactly the opposite. unless ii be cer-
tain amount of will. This particular por-
trait ard its results show better than
either OF the others how thoroughly the
process Of reversing is carried out.
If any men on women who happen to
consider themselves lacking in beauty
wish to know just how they would have
looked had their appearance been ex-
actly the reverse of what it is, the new
machine makes the way clear l have
to as great an extent as possible COM
pared the results of the machines work
with the cleverest sketches by the pencils
OF eminent caricaturists. 1t cannot be
Genied that the machine excels.

Warned by Rats

The conditions favorng plague are
similar to those favoring typhus fever,
namely, crowd poisoning, bad ventila-
tion and drainage, impure water supply,
famine or imperfect nourishment, and
inatteEton to sanitary requirements. III
is probable of this disease. as of yellow
fever, that ruman habitations and the
ground may become so thoroughly in
fected as to establish endemicity. The
bacillus may infect food and water,
though how long 1t will retain its viril-
ity in water is as yet undetermined.
Clothing and other personal effects, bed
ding, etc, may be infected through the
discharges. The bacillus is not killed by.
drying. as is the case with the cholera
bacillus and may be carried in the dust
arising through the cleansing OF dwell
ing houses which plague patients nave
occupied.
A very important element in the
spread of the plague in houses ana To-
calities are rats and other animals. 1t
has been found that rats. mice, snakes,
beetles, bugs. flies, dogs and jackals are
infected during an epidemic. 1t is sig
nificant that the purely herbiverous ami
malg-horses, oxen, sheep, goats ana
rabbits-are exempt. Rats die in large
mum berS, and generally tnls pHehoine-
non is observed in advance of the ap-
pearance of the plague among human
beings The cause of their infection is
s.ill a subject of discussion The soil
becomes infected. and very common
belief in Oriental countries is that the
rat contracts the disease from miasmat-
ic emanations from the soil, but this has
never been scientifically demonstrated,
and is probably incorrect. The fact
that mortality among rats precedes an
outbreak of plague among human be-
lngs is explained by Lowson by the fact
that rats have their snouts about an
inch above the floors of houses. and are
more liable 70 inspire plague-infected
dust than are human beings-From
"The Black Plague" by United States
Surgeon General Walter Wyman, in
North American Review for April.

be better or worse for his influence. 1t Is
an old saying. and one. OF fearful anc
fathomless import. that we are forming
characters for eternity. Forming char
actersi Whose? Our own, or others!
Both-and in that momentoas fact lies
the peril and responsibility or our ex-
istence. Who is sufficient Tor the
thought? Thousands of my fellow be-
ings will yearly enter eternity with
characters differing from those they
would have carried thither had l never
lived. The sunlight of that world will
reveal my finger marks in their primary

the sum total of human happiness, not

tach himself from this connection. There
is no sequestered spot in the universe, no

There are given herewith three ex-
amples, which all Americans will appre-
oiate, of just what this machine can ac-
complish. If one cares to take the
trouble and study the problem, it will
be found that the solution is that the
natural lines of the face and head have
been completely reversed. The faces
which have been selected for these eX-
amples are those of President William

forcefulness and character without linn
il. The pose of the features are truly
Napolconic What does the machine
show? The kindly eyes have changed
to rather fierce orbs looking from be-
meath bushy eyebrows. The face as a
whole has an almost puritanic cast. The
chin. though indicative of much will
power shows narrow -mindedness and
the entire countenance and head are
those of a man who looks upon the world
