Latest Developments in This
 Branch of Science.
Luctd Account of What Has Actu- ally Been Done-PrOf. John JOIy' of Trinity College. the
 Inventor.
ICopyright. 1S97.l

"The latest word in photography, al this time, has to do with the making of pictures in such a way that the light by which they are viewed shall bring out the natural colors.
 To make colored pictures with the camera has been the dream of the men who manipulate that instrument ever since the first camera was put into service. Over and over again it has been declared by scientists who ought to know that the hoped-for inven- tion could never materialize; yet en- thusiasts have not been lacking to burn the midnight oil in order to prove the scientists wrong And at last it ap- pears that the longed-for invention has been accomplished-that photographs actually showing the eolors of the thing photographed not only can be made but are actually being made.
 Prof. John Joly. of Trinity college, Dublin, Ireland, is the lucky inventor It should be understood at the start, however, that his photographs are not made on paper, and that the color eff feet is not produced by chemically changing the surface of the photograph so that different parts will reflect diff ferent shades and colors to the eye. Jolys photographs are made on glass; and, viewed by themselves. show only neutral tints somewhat similar to those we are accustomed to see in pho tographs printed on paper. It is only when the light passes simultaneously through them and properly prepared medium of transmission that the color effect is produced
 The Joly photographs, however, may be made by any camera in which glass plates and not films are employed, and their making requires no more skill

and brocaded with struggling flowers in pale gold. The skirt is plain and tight fitting in front, all the fulIness be- ing massed behind. There is low-cut corselet bodice worn over blouse of the most delicate white embroidered muslin. The eorselet is of dark green velvet, worked in pink and green and edged with scale-like sequins in rides cent green and gold. 1t has small, round epaulettes and sike belted with damask rose ribbon. With this after noon gown goes a hat of dark green straw, trimmed with roses and black feathers.
 The other costume Is for evening wear and is of turquoise blue crepe de chine made up over blue taffeta silk. The skirt is trimmed with single Re camier friil and duchess lace, and the pompadour opening of the corsage is finished in the same way. The bodice is nearly covered with white lisse em- hroidered with silver in cobweb de- sign. The cloak to accompany this dress is of turquoise blue satin, lined with an accordion kilting of lisse worked with silver and steel. Pretty as the toilette is, this cloak is by far it's most enviable portion.
 At the theater the other night one of the most interesting frocks I noticed
 was of pale green cloth embroidered on the right side with hanging sprays of roses caught up with bows. The work was done in wool of the same color, with the slightest touches of pink and black for emphasis. The bodice was a blouse

was asked to prepare paper on coiors in photography. Naturally he took ad- vantage of all that had been done be- fore by those working along similar lines. The triple negative, triple lan- fern scheme of E. J. Ives. of Philadel- pbia. the work of Clerk Maxwell, Du- .cos-Duhauron, Collen and of many others. were laid under contribution, and much benefit was derived there from. Prof. Joly was, however. obliged to make long and patient investigations as to light wave lengths, color euryes'' in the spectrum, and a whole lot of obscure optical phenomena, the recital of which would be interesting only to those who have taken up the study of light and color in an ultra scientific way.
 At the same time. it should be under stood that while he makes use of some of the same principles employed by every scientific seeker for colors in photography, his final methods and re- suits are entirely his own, his pictures differing radically from the "color se- lective" photographs of Chassagne and the iridescent color photographs of an earlier French scientist. Although the Joly pictures are the first to be placed practically before the photographic world, credit for his discovery is dis puted by Charles McDonough, of Chi cago. who has a somewhat similar process for producing the same results, and who has begun an interference suit, claiming priority of invention. Just how the courts will decide the suit it is of course impossible to foreshadow at this writing.

Soldiers Are Born Not Made.

Lord Wolseley seems to have the inn pression that the ''genius of the sol dier' is born in the man and cannot be created by education. 'eThe worst staff officer l knew in the Crimea," he said, had taken the highest degree in, the senior departments at sandhurst, and the most useless and impossible general l have ever served with in the field was most deeply versed in the theory of war. l do not wish to deprecate the value of military knowledge, but to point out that scientific attainments alone can never make either a staff of fieer or a leader.

In Many Ways She Is Truer to Her
 WOmanhood by Being So.
 When one judges truly what it is to be "old-fashioned" in some of the mod ern progressive" ideas, it does not ap- pear so bad. It may be true that one who refuses to be so essentially mod erns in all phases of life misses some things. But then these progressive" spirits seem to miss some things, too; they seem to miss in about everything they do, and incidentally miss, as well. the true aim and essence of life. And there are often strong compensations in the attitude of the "old-fashioned." It brings fewer after-regrets; fewer pie lures one wants to blot out. An indif- ference to healthy progress is injuri- ous to anyone. But when progress seeks to improve upon those elements in life which are God-ordained, the wis est of us are those who stand still or fall out of the ranks. There are some things in this world which even the wonderful genius of this century can not improve upon. They were fash toned by a skill beyond our ken. And we would better let them alone. For ward, :" commands the old proverb, but then it adds, "but not too fast" The cautious woman, the home-loving wom- an. the woman fond of her children. and with a belief in God, who gave them to her, the woman of pure heart and good purpose, the woman who loves and is beloved, need never be disturbed that sine is called "old-fashioned' g Perhaps she is. But it is no disgrace to be .old- fashioned" in some things. She is truer to her womanhood by being so. And she is always in good company Edward ". Box, in Ladies' Home Jour- nal.

HE ERETEul HARIT.
Acquired by Those Who Suffer from
 Imaginary Wrongs.


 A great many conscientious and ex- cellent women of middle age fall into the fretful habit They are naturally of a timid, nervous temperament, and the adversities of the world, through which every one suffers iii a greater or lesser degree, have made them appre- hensive for the future. It is very easy for such a peftnn to establish the wor- rYing habit, and it is not easy when is once established to conquer it. 1t is very selfish practice, which destroys more effectually than almost any other habit the peace of mind of those per sons who are compelled to dwell with the fretting one.
 It has been repeatedly and truthfully said that more persons suffer from imaginary wrongs than real ones, and it is equally true that women wear out their nerves and hearts, and finally die worrying more over troubles that never come than over legitimate grief. There are a vast number of people in the world who seem destined by the good Lord to live like the sparrows, from day to day, grateful for the food and shelter of the time, and without power to look far into the future. The only rule for such people and the only rule for every one is to trust the future to the God who alone controls the future.
 Fretting and worrying is direct dis obedience of the Christian command to take no thought for the morrow" This clearly means we are to take no anxious thought. We are to do our duty day by day, and consider the ''eyil of the day" as it comes, without adding burdens to the future which will unfit us for the necessary work which we are given to do. How many woman has brought confusion and misfortune on herself and family by failure to remem- Der that the evils of the day are suffi- cient for her to consider Worn out and heart-broken over prospective trouble she has failed to do the work that was given her to do, and real mis- fortune followed.
 Sympathy is of very little value to fretful person. It usually increases the trouble. The only remedy for fretting lies in the will of the individual, who must sternly resolve to trust the prob- iems of the world and of her own life to Heaven, and humbly and quietly do her work day by day. A little careful repression of the impulse to look on the dark side will some time work won ders on a fretful person.
 Sometimes the health is seriously at fault, for melancholia is recognized as disease. In such ease change of scene, if possible, and cheerful com panions, will often drive away the sduslly shades" Even in such case the mind has power at the beginning to conquer the tendency to worry, and every effort should be made to arouse the sufferer to the necessity of looking on the bright side of life.-N.

trimmed with ribbon and roses of the same color It had a bunch of black wings at the side.
 Another attractive dress spread it. self over the seat of a victoria. It was of cornfower blue cloth, and the skirt apparently hung in folds from cords about the hips, after fashion that is coming more into vogue every day. The bodice, in bolero form, thickly embroidered with raised white chenille, opened on front of old lace. Almost hidden under blue parasol was a coarse blue straw toque, with three black tips at one side and fastened with a jeweled buckle.
 At wedding reception at Magnolia on Thursday the costumes of the guests seemed to have been dyed in the laboratory of autumn. The rooms repeated the crimson of the oak leaves mixed with green. Then there were all those tawny beautiful shades that are inspired by an infusion of brown. The dark smoke color that is sure to be so much worn throughout the winter formed quiet background, though usu- ally it was brightened with rich pc culiar violet or with scarlet or the blue that tones into peacock or gray One very good dress in silk of this color had a plain skirt, which was draped in long folds to cling about the feet, this being one of the newest of the new skirt fancies The full bodice was of black gauge with a velvet brocade on it in watercress green. A narrow front piece. of material to match the skirt was laid over this and trimmed elabo- rately with jet. A broad jet fringe sur rounded the waist With this dress was worn large gray felt hat, rolled up picturesquely at the side and trimmed with sweeping black plumes.
 The semi-train skirts for day wear that are struggling to find favor with LIS were represented by q costume of Louis XVI. brocade in silver gray and pink worn by the mother of the bride. The skirt was rather scant and the train not much more than 8 hint of one. The tight-fitting bodice was of plain silk, matching the soft gray ground of the broeade. It had pointed bolero fronts, high rolling collar and epaulettes; all these were embroidered in pink and shades of green. The tight elbow sleeves were finished with ruches ,f black cilantilly. Long vest fronts of the same lace came over the hips and the throat was finished by big jabot of white chiffon.

showing a repeat of the embroidery. It opened down the front, showing seal loped revers covered with tiny ruffles of lace that ran round and round. The revers turned back to reveal white chiffon front, across which the blouse was caught with bows of black velvet ribbon. A rolling medici collar was the neck finish. A toque was worn of green tulle and paradise plumes.
 The restaurants are filling again and it was at one of the most famous that I noted dainty dress of pale gray ere pon with blouse and sleeves in white barege. X square yoke of white gui- pure was set into the front of the bodice and edged with draperies of the barege; these were caught with turquoise clasps at the corners. The neck band and belt were of blue China silk. A short tablier of guipure work came over the front of the skirt. The smart gray straw hat was trimmed with black and blue.
 As fashions in furs develop, it be- comes evident that sealskin capes will be less full this winter but somewhat 1 deeper than last season.

debtor[that is, he squats down at the door of his victims tent, and thereby. in some mysterious way, becomes master of the situation. No one can go in or out except by his sanction. He neither himself eats nor allows his debtor to eat; and this extraordinary starvation contest is kept up until either the debt is paid or the creditor gives up the siege, and in the latter case the debt is held to be cancelled.
 However strange it may appear to Europeans, this mode of enforcing q demand is an established and almost universal usage among the Mahra ttas, and seems to them a mere matter of course. Even their "scindiah. or chief tain, is not exempt from it.
 The laws by which the "dhurna" is regulated are as we'll defined as those of any other custom whatever. When it is meant to be very strict, the claim ant takes with him number of his followers, who surround the tent, and sometimes even the bed of his adver- sary, to make sure that he obtains no I'St toD4 C4 AOohs | hC NOoGs uONGAEIa prescribes the same abstinence for the man who imposes the ordeal; and, of course, the strongest stomach wins the day. After all, we have little right to ridiellle this absurdity; for our own laws still provide, nominally at least, for starving a jury into a verdict.
 A similar custom was once so =preva- lent in the province and city of Be- mares that Brahmins were sometimes systematically put through a course of training to enable them 10 endure a long time without food. They were then sent to the door of some rich per son, where they publicly made vow to remain fasting until a certain sum of money was paid, or until they per ished from starvation. To cause the death of Brahmin was considered so heinous an offense that the cash was generally forthcoming; but never without a resolute struggle to deter mine whether the man was likely to prove stanch, for the average oriental will almost as soon. give up his life as his money.

than is possessed by any amateur, and no apparatus differing from that used in making ordinary photographs is nee essary beyond two simple-loolxing plates of glass, one known as the "tak- ing screen" and the other as the viewing screen"
 Each is covered on one side with a thin film of gelatine, and this is ruled with transparent, colored inks, in lines so thin that it takes 400 of them to cover the space of an inch. These lines are arranged in three on both screens, the number three correspond ing to the primary colors of nature. On the taking screen" the colors are red dish orange, yellowish-green, and blue violet; on the viewing screen" the colors are red, green and violet.
 When photograph is to be obtained by the Joly method, the sensitive plate to be exposed is put into the plate hold CT in the ordinary manner, the holder being so modified that a second thin glass plate-the taking screen''-may be inserted at the same time, in such a way that the light must pass through the screen before it falls upon the plate. In it's passage through the screen 5cer- tain notifications of the light must necessarily take place. According to Mir. Joly's theory, rays corresponding to the reddish orange, and these only, pass unimpeded through the lines of that color; rays corresponding to the yellowish-green only, through lines corresponding to iG; and blue violet rays only, through the lines which they match. Rays from surfaces tinted or shaded with composites of the three primary colors must, of course, pass through all these lines, though not so freely and in proportions correspond ing exactly to the composite shade. Rays from surfaces showing tints com posed of the two primary colors pass through only two of the lines, and in the proper proportion. The result is a negative, showing not colors, indeed but what Prof. Joly terms "color val ues." A pretty fair notion of the ap- pearance of negative so obtained may be gained from the first of the accom- panying cuts.
 When such a negative has been ob- tained, a positive is printed on glass. exactly as q positive would be printed on paper from an ordinary negative; and the general appearance of this pos itiye, as it would appear if held be- tween the eye and the light, is shown in the second of the two cuts. Of course. as many positives as desired can be made from each negative. To bring out the coIors corresponding to the 'eolor values" the 'sviewing screen" is fitted to the positive. so that the light will shine through both. When this is done a beautiful, trans parent picture is produced, wherein the eolors of the object photographed are shown with startling brilliance and close fidelity to nature
 Prof. Joly began the experiments which led to the discovery of this meth od of photographically showing colors. some seven or eight years ago, when he
