PLATTER THE srTTERs' VANITY.
Photographs Now Made TO Suit the
Fancy of the InOrdinateIy Vain.
From The New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The old saying that photographs do not
lie" must go to join the growing host of
exploded notions. 1t may have been true
when photography was new and undevel-
oped, but the fact remains that at the
present time photographs may be and are
made 20 lie with great frequency and IA
cillty. The methods by which this result
is accomplished are more various and ex-
tensive than most persons suspect. Re
touching in it's simplest form, such as
smoothing out deficiencies in the complex
ion, is well known to every body, but ii is
not so generally understood that even the
shape of the features may be altered by
skillful work with the negative. Lines OF
figure are also frequently changed. The
writer has seen and compared the original
proof and the finished picture Of a we'll
known actress famous for her beauty. In
the proof hollows appear in the neck. and
the lines OF the shoulders though grace
ful, leave something still to be desired In
the way of perfect roundness and symme-
try. The finished photograph shows a
transformation The hollows are gone and
the irregularities of the shoulder lines
have become curves of perfect beauty. 1t
Is lie, doubtless, but pleasing and sat
isfactory one.
So much for the results Of retouching
But there are tricks of posing which per-
vert the truth just as completely. BY
throwing am object or part of an object so
FAR into the foreground or background
that IL is out OF focus It may be made 10
appear Of a size wholly different from its
real proportions. The most familiar in
stance of this trick Is seen In the pic
lures of wonderful catches Of fish. The
honest fisherman holds the string out at
arms length in front OF his body, 80 that
compared with himself. his trophies appear
huge. A one-pound trout passes itself or
gayly as a fve-pounder, and other varie-
ties gain In apparent size IN the same
satisfactory ratio.
When professional athletes Strong
men or prize fighters come before the
camera the same focusing device is en-
ployed. Hercules throws out his arms
folded, we'll In front Of his chest, and i'm
the picture the development
OF his biceps Is almost ter
rifying In its proportions. II he
desires to give prominence to the muscles
of his shoulders and upper back, he stands
sidewise, so as TO bring them nearest the
lens. and by maneuverng and posing a liz
tle any part Of the body which IL is de-
sired TO emphasize may be made TO appear
well developed.

TIDAL POWER PLACED IN HARNESS
Novel Methods by which the Forces
of the Tides Are Utilized.

APaA Ro0HN'i = wa aLAits
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of the
energy developed by the rise and fan OF
the tides, but the Intermittent character
Of the power has usually prevented any
There Is. however. one instance in which
tide power has been quite successfully ap-
piled In a very simple manner Along
the river front at LIVERPOOL
there Is tendency for the
accumulation Of all silt against
the dock walls, requiring occasional dredg-
ing FOR It's removal. Instead Of using
scoop dredges, this mud Is removed nj dif-
ferent periods by the use Of tide power in
the following manner:
Along the base OF the dock wans Is laid
a pipe, perforated with holes, directed
outward, this pipe being connected with
the interior OF the dock system, and suita-
BILE valves being provided TO permit or
check the flow Of water. When the tide Is
very low and consequently the head Of
water measured from the surface IN the
docks b. al rs greatest. a sudden open-
ing Of the connection permits rapld
flushing action OF the water escaping
through holes In the pipes at the base OF
the walls. securing Out the mUl and driv-
ing u out into the river ~ be- carried
away As the tides az LIVERPOOL average
about twenty-five feet or more, ID Is evil
dent that this simple for.a OF dredging ap-
paratus may be- very effective. and as the
times chosen for using Il may be selected
when the supply OF water IL greatest Il
does not interfere with the regulnr use
OF the docks. Ultimately economical
forms or power storage Will render the
equalization Of tide power commercially
prac'icable. but AT me present time this
example serves to demonstrate che fact
that solar and lunar attraction. AZ ox.

IN a small way Al least.

The governors veto of the ca
itolbill has been and is yet wide.
ly discussed both by the public
and press, and while much thought
has been given the subject it has
in no way been benefited save that
the light of criticism has been
focused directly and keenly pene-
trates that character of the gov
ernor's makeup. Owing to the
lateness last week of the occur
renee very little touching the sub
ject was said in these columns,
save the plain facts plainly stated
and these facts, when stated, so
clearly depicts the situation that
comment suggests itself and edi-
torial utterance becomes almost
unnecessary except for form sake.
Opinion is all one way-bitter,
and there appears TO be no limit to
the charges laid at the door of the
chief executive, and of these most
are substantiated with utteraneeS
that appear incontrovertibie. Cir
cumstances wcghad"h have us to be-
llsSe llesSSee' ttifat our governor is not sin
cere and that the friyalous techni-
calities set forth in his message
were prompted by motives other
wise actuated. and emanating
from his disgust at frustrated
plans and intentions. The mes
sage we contend was false.

appears to political life, Anselm

An Enterprising Railroad.

Under the above true caption we
find the following in the last issue Of
the Ocean Springs Progress.
''The l.. & N. railroad company is
showing considerable enterprise in
the matter Of its coast service for the
summer season. Wednesday Of this
week the second excursion train was
put on and will continue during the
season. The first train was literally
patronlzed and there is no reason to
doubt taat it will continue to be a
paying venture during the entire
summer, as it has in all previous
years. Mr.. Kilkenny, the division
passenger agent, is bending every
effort TO give the public every facil-
iJy.
"Another important project is now
being seriously considered by the
railroad officials. During the past
few months the company has been
opportuned by a number of promi-
nent citizens, and, in fact by the
public generally, to put on a faster
coast train, one which would leave
New Orleans every evening at about
four O'Clock or thereabouts. Super
intendent Marshall is now discussing
the measure, and the fast train will
doubtless go on in a short time.
'.Still another project is being Sc
riously considered by the l.. & N.
people, that Of putting on a series Of
passenger trains to run every two
hours in the afternoon after two
O'Clock. 1t is needless to say that
the service would be immensely pop
ular.
SIN fact If the L. & N. carries pyt
all all these projects, it will '''

Today the board OF mayor and
aldermen of the city of Bay St.
Louis meets in regular session,
and it is reasonable to doubt
whether a more important session
of that body was ever held. Af-
ter having gone through with that
process exacted by law, the board,
if twenty per cent Of those having
right to SO petition do not object,
will cause to be issued twenty
years bond bearing so interest to
the amount of forty thousand
dollars for Improvement and re-
deeming the city from financial
embarrassment. Should petition

an election to decide will be or
dered at which time it is safe to
say the issue will win. Our posi-

be said having been published and

course pursued was prompted by
careful study and the interest of
the community honestly at heart,
