down endeavoring to get warm. His
wis pitied him, but fortified herself
by saying that she could not yield to
an impulse of pity now, for this was
the contest of a lifetime.
At last the longest night she had
ever spent drew to a close, and at the
first approach of day she peered anx-
iously out to see what had become of
Hiram. He was lying on the bench,
and she told herself scornfully that
she need not worry, as be was, as
usual, taking it easy.
However, as the early morning
hours dragged on and he did not rise,
she became alarmed and stole eau
tiously out and touched him. He was
breathing very heavily and seemed to
be in a stupor. Still her touch aroused
him and he tried to sit up, but a
spasm of pain caught him and he fell
back with a groan. :
Mandy saw that his clothes were
wet from wading in the river while
fishing, and having worn them all
night he had probably contracted
pneumonia.
IF he dies I'm his murderer" she
cried distractedly, as she looked
around for help. The place was too
far off the road to make it possible
to attract passers-by, SO Mandy rush
ed frantically to the lean-to and re-
turned with the ~wheelbarrow. After
some trouble she managed to push Hi
rams helpless figure into the novel We
hicle and slowly wheeled him to the
house.
Despite the solemnity of the affair it
was a grotesque and laughable sight,
for Mr.. Hopkins was tall and lank,
SO that his legs dangled over the
sides of the barrow and shook Imply
at every movement of the wheel.
At last the house was reached and
the IGOR so lately barred against him
was opened to admit Hiram, now so
strangely still and pale.
Very gently Mandy rolled him off
of the barrow on to the lounge, and
as she did so he opened his eyes and
whispered family:
Il promise, Mandy, l promise"

An Artifi cial Moon,

The artificial moon" for lighting ths
great domed reading room of Column
bia University Library has now began
to shine. 1t is hung in the center of
the ceiling, just where the dome be-
gins to curve upwards, and the inner
surface of the dome being painted blue.
the moon is seen as if projected against
a clear sky. The moon is a wooden
globe, seven feet in diameter. painted
a dead white, so that it should reflect
70 or so per cent of the light projected
upon it. On this globe, light is pro-
jected from eight strong electric ara
lights placed at regular intervals round
the walls, and SO masked as to be in
visible to persons on the floor level.
The moon thus lighted up shines bril-
liantly, but its light car hardly be sufi-
cient for the reading students, as
it is said to be less than that of a full
moon shining overhead from a clear
sky. Readers have, however, incan-'
descent lamps on the tables, the moon
being primarily designed to display the
dome and the upper parts of the great
hall. This it is to do beautifully with.

VALUE OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
How 1t Educates the Artist In Posing
and Composition.

now 1T Educates the Artist IN fOStnB
and Composition.
Kenyon Coz asks and answer the
question, What has been and what is
likely to BIT the influence of photog-
raphy on art? He considers it has
certainly added in some ways to the
education of the artist, and as an i'm
plement of investigation it has taught
people much about the science OF ma
tural aspects. Yet, up to the present,
Mr.. Cox holds, its influence would
seem to have been evil rather than
good. Painters have tried to rival the
photograph in the accuracy of it's state
ment and so nearly succeeding that
their work has been hardly distin-
guishable from that of the camera, and
now the camera, in its turn, is attempt
ing to produce art. If photography
teaches the world nothing else, it will
teach it that the end of art is not imi-
tation. The realist taught that nature
should be painted as it ought to be.
But" says Mr.. Cox, 1.-The photograph
shows us that nature is no more like
Rembrandt than like Raphael, and that
the something which is art exists in
the work of Terburgh as Enthusiastically
az in that of Titan, while it does not
exist in nature itself, or in the i'm
personal record of nature. What is
this something? The shortest word
for it is arrangement" 1t is some
form of order, harmony, proportion. 1t
is arrangement of line, of color and CT
light and shade, for the sake of form
ing a tremendously ordered whole
which shall express some phase of hui
nan emotion, and satisfy some vague
desire of the human heart. But the
more consciously the photographer at
tempts to be an artist, the worse, in
general, are his results, because the
complicated harmonies which the
painter arranges on his canvas are i'm
possible of achievement anywhere else.
Mr.. Cox continues: You cannot pose
figures as painters pose them, nor ar
range drapery as they arrange it. You
can no get real light to fall as it falls
in pictures or natural color to har-
monte as pictorial color harmonizes.
Try to pose figures before the camera
IN " ion q piCtuIC ilh6 oouue WITH
of art that you have seen, and you will
discover that it can not be done. II
N detail is right, another will be
wrong. The painter has studied the
parts separately, trying again and
again for this line or that shade, until
everything fills it's allotted place in a
comprehensive scheme; but the pho
tographer must get them all right at
once or not at all. The result is that
deadest of pictures the tableau vivant."
The lesson of the photographer is thus
summed up: Meanwhile, we need de-
mand of such artists as we have only
that they shall be composers first, and
that afterward they shall give us as
much nature rs they have learned to
control. If We learn this, the infu-
ence Of photography on art will have
been for good, and not for evil."-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

in sheets of 400, and the machine for
putting the mucilage on the back is the
only one operated by electricity. The
sheets are put in and a roller of rough
glass spreads on the mucilage, which
is made in the building, from potato
starch. Then they fall upon an end

a hot air box, whence they emerge
perfectly dry. Afterwards comes the
pressing, perforating and division into
sheets of 100, as no larger sheets are
ever issued, and from the packing
room they are sent to the different
postofices. The imperfect notes are
macerated in a machine, somewhat
smaller than the one used In the treas

from there, this maceration is placed in
another machine, that, after separating
the silk fiber from the paper, washes
it and takes all the coloring matter
out, leaving a hard, stiff substance,

Gun to Fire 10000 Bullets a Minute.
1t is reported that Mr.. James,
Judge, managing partner of the Walker

has patented a gun which he believes,
when perfected, will discharge the
enormous number of 10000 bullets per,
minute. The gun discharges it's missiles

a wonderful development of the ancient
sling. 1t has a disc working within
a cas- at $4,000 revolutions per min
ute, a speed which has already been
obtained in practice. From the cir
conference of the disc project two
hands. The bullets are poured into the
case from a hopper, n as they fall
are caught by the hands, which in,
coming rain them out in a continuous
stream through an orifice. They are
guided into a sleeve which NAV be
eA,vated or depressed and sighted like
the muzZle of a rife. The disc of the
gun Is about three feet in diameter,
and it travels at the rate of Is. 900
revolutions per minute, the circumfer.
entail rate being As, 600 feet. This would
impel bullets with tremendous muzzle
velocity, and at close quarters would,
Mr.. Judge declares, mean absolute an

There was still a port hatchway,
which was partially closed and toward
this the two men made their way,
Lynch in the lead. Directly under the
hatchway, and ~discharging through it,
was the break in the steam pipe.
Lynch rushed through it safely, and
turned to help his mate Paul.

A MEDAL.

Toward the end of the year 1897 the
British torpedo boat destroyer Thrasa-

left st. Ives on a passage to Falmouth.
On the way the Thrasher grounded on
a point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting Of the mttln

He had said nothing about the way
la had rescued Paul, but his manly
conduct led the surgeon to investigate,
ard it was ascertained that, in order
tt rescue his comrade, he had plunged
TIE whole upper part of his body Into

Lynch had previously sacrificed his
own chance of escaping from the stoke

with Paul.

But an instant convinced him that
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold of the sinking Paul, and
by a remarkable exercise of force and
tenaclty drew him up on the deck.

The burst pipe instantly filled she
stoke hold with scalding steam. In it
were two stokers, Edward Lynch and
James Paul. All the rest of the boats
company were landed on the rocks,
but the doubling up of the deck had
prevented the egress of the stokers by
the starboard hatchway.

The Presidents Message.

THE Presidents message was sent to
Congress shortly after noon yesterday.
The message did not receive the en-
dorsement of a majority Of the Senators,
and Senator Foraker openly expressed
his dissatisfaction. The message re-
ceiyed slight applause from Republicans
and none from Democrats. The spec
tators in the galleries made no demon
strations. The message was referred to
the Foreign Relations Committee.
In the message the President asks
Congress to authorize and empower him
to take measures to secure a full and
final termination of hostilities between
the Government of Spain and the people
of Cuba and to secure the establishment
of stable government, capable of
maintaining order and observing its
international obligations, insuring peace
and tranquility and the security of its
citizens as well as our own, and tc use
the military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary for
these purposes.
After recommending that the distri-
button of supplies be continued, the
President closes
1.-The issue is now with Congress. 1t
is a solemn responsibility. l have ex-
hausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition of affairs which is at
our doors. Prepared to execute every
obligation imposed upon me by the
Constitution and the law. 1 await your
action"
He acknowledges the receipt of in
formation of the proclamation of a
suspension of hostilit1es on the part of
Spain and says
eff this measure attains a successful
result, then our aspirations as peace
loving people will be realized. If it
fails it will be only another justification
for our contemplated action"
The President argued against recog-
milton of beligerency or a recognition of
independence as remedies. He reviews
the Maine, but, as in the matter of
Cuba, leaves all to Congress.
