A Surveying Camera.

A surveying camera. styled the
Bridges-Lee instrument, Is being intro
duced in England. It resembles an Or
binary camera, having a brass bound
box with rapid rectilirear lens and
double backs. and the usual ground
glass screen. The camera body turns on
a horizontal plate having a graduated
rim, over which slides vernier attach
ed to the camera for reading horizontal
angles. A clamping screw fixes the
camera body to the bottom plate, which
plate Is mounted on a tripod head pro-
vided with leveling screws. On top Of
the camera box is fixed a rotating level
and telescope mounted on q horizontal
arm and fitted with o rack adjustment
and scale, permitting vertical angles to
be taken. This telescope has q vertical
wire, which bisects the picture on the
ground glass screen, and is coplanary
with second vertical wire inside the
camera. This wire casts q shadow,
which is clearly discernible on the sensi-
tive plate or film when developed, and
thus marks the center line of the pic-
ture. Behind this wire is q compass,
mounted on q rack inside the camera,
by means Of which. when photograph
Is to be taken, it can be moved back
until it just fails to touch the plate.
The graduation Of the compass card is
carried out on vertical strip Of trans
lucent material, through which the
light passes to the plate, thus photo
graphing thereon the compass bearing.
A horizontal fiber is also placed inside
the body Of the camera, similar to the
vertical one, which, when the instru-
ment has been properly leveled, indi-

Having briefly reviewed some of our
past history, the fact must be admitted
that when the white men first visited
our shores we were kind and confiding,
standing before them like q block Of
marble before the sculptor, ready to be
shaped into noble manhood. Instead Of
this, We were oftener hacked to pieces
and destroyed.
1t is useless to deny the charge that
ut times we have been goaded to vim
dictive and cruel acts. Some Of my own
tribe, however, were soldiers In the
northern army during the civil war.
Some of them were taken and held pris-
oners in the rebel prisons, and the
cruelty which, according to the tales
they tell. was witnessed there was never
outdone in border warfare with the
scalping knife and tomahawk, and yet
I believe that had the northern people
been placed in the south under like cir
cumstances their prisoners Of war
would have been treated with similar
cruelty. It was the result Of desperate
effort to save an expiring cause. be-
lieve there is no reasonable person, we'll
grounded in United States history, who
| will not admit that there were ten
times as many who persisted miserably
in southern prisons as have been killed
by our people since the discovery Of
America. l recall these facts not to
| censure, but to show that cruelty and
revenge are the offspring of war, not Of
race, and that nature has placed no i'm
passable gulf between us and civiliza.
tion.
While I most heartily indorse the
present policy Of the government IN
dealing with our people. must admit,
to DO true to my own convictions
that I am worried over the ration sys
tenn, under which SO many of our people
are being fed on the reservations.
greatly fear it may eventually vaga
bondize many Of them beyond redemp
ton. 1t permits the gathering Of lazy
immoral white men of the worst stamp
who spend their time in idleness and il
corrupting Indian morality. -Simo,

The 1000 natives Of the lower Congo
who have been carrying these steam

In Brittany there is said to prevail a
curious marriage custom. On certain
fete days the young ladies appear in red
petticoats. with white or yellow Dor
ders around them. The number of Dor

white band denotes silver-1O0 francs

LOWELL.

Called the Most Human Man In the An.
tislavery Struggle.
The world, says Woodrow Wilson in
The Atlantic, is apt to esteem that man
most human who has his qualities in q
certain exaggeration, whose courage is
passionate, whose generosity is without
deliberation, whose just action is with
out premeditation, whose spirit runs
toward its favorite objects with an in
fictitious and reckless ardor. whose wis
dom is no child Of slow prudence. We
love Achilles more than Diomedes, and
Ulysses not at all But these are stand
ards left over from ruder state Of So
ciety. We should have passed by this
have heroes suited to our age. Nay, We
have erected different standards and do
make q different choice when we see
in any man fulfllment of our real
ideals.
Let a modern instance serve as test.
Could any man hesitate to say that
Abraham Lincoln was more human
than William Lloyd Garrison? Does not
every one know that it was tho practi-
cal Free Sellers who made emancipation
possible, and not the hot. impracticable
abolitionists; that the country was in
fnitely more moved by Lincoln's tenn
perate sagacity than by any mans en-
thusiasm, instinctively trusted the man
who saw the whole situation and kept
his balance, and instinctively held of
from those who refused to see more than
| one thing?
We know how serviceable the intense
and headlong agitator was in bringing
to their feet men fit for action, but we
feel uneasy while he lives and vouch-
safe him our full sympathy only when
he is dead. We know that the genial
forces of nature which work daily.
| equally and without violence are in
finitely more serviceable, infinitely
more admirable, than the rude violence
of the storm, however necessary or ex-
oellent the publication it may have
wrought. Should we seek to name the
most human man among those who LED
the nation to its struggle with slavery,
and yet was no statesman. we should
of course name Lowell. We know tina,
his humor went further than any mans
passion toward setting tolerant mer
a-tingle with the new impulses Of the
day. We naturally hold back from
those who are incorporate and car
never stop to smile and are deeply re
assured to see twinkle in q reformer'l
eye We are glad to see earnest mel
laugh. 1t breaks the strain.
