THE pHoNoeRAPH IN RUSSIA.
Regarded with Disfavor by the Po-
lice Authorities.

Edison's photograph has had bat
tie royal with Russian press censorship.
says the Anglo-Russian. In the pavilion
of the public gardens in Tagonrog the
machine was exhibited, and attracted
large audiences. 1t played and sang.
and laughed and spoke for some time
undisturbed, until police officer heard
the machine reciting one of Kriloff's
famous fables, viz: ''Demyan's Ukha"
(soup or hospitality, but with some
variations on the original text The Of
ficer got suspicious, and not trusting
TO his memory, he ran at once and got
Kriloff's book, and came again to listen
to the Photographs version Of the
fable. To his horror he found the
fable reproduced not at all as il was
passed by the censorship more than half
a century ago. An alarm was raised at
once, the higher local authorities com
municated with. and the manager of the.
pavilion. Mr.. Parafinovitch. was called
upon to explain the behavior OF that
speaking American beast. All the poor
manager could do was to open the mys-
terious inside of the criminal machine
and hand over to the authorities the in
discreet cylinder which threatened to
tell the peaceful inhabitants so many
undesirable things. But the arrest OF
the chief criminal was considered in
sufficient. as it could not have acted
without human accomplish. So. ac-
cording TO the Taganrog viestnik. the
affair has taken its official course. and
the innocent manager of the pavilion
has lost in the mean time his generally
good appetite and sound sleep. as he
does not know IL what punishment the
official proceedings win result. and how
long he will have to wait until his fate
is decided.

LUMINOUS PAINT.
Used for Variety ofPurposes In city
and Country.


Luminous paint is used more In
the country than in the city, but its
use generally is increasing, says the
New York Sun. 1t is used in cities in
dark scenes in the theaters, and dancers
costumes are coated with it. Luminous
paint is used for the illumination Of
doctors signs. and of street numbers.
and night bells, and keyholes and door
knobs, and it is used to paint match
boxes and various other things. II is
not luminous except in the dark, and so,
for sign purposes, it is used only in
such places as are not reached by the
rays from the street lamp.
Luminous paint is not phosphores--
cent, but il absorbs light in the day, or.
light from electric or other artificial
lights. which it gives out 10 the dark:
most commonly. indoors and outs ii is
used upon objects that are exposed to
daylight. The distance at which such
objects can be seen at night depends
upon their size. Luminous paint is
used in the country on highway sign
boards or guidboards. for painting
posts or stones marking roadways. and
so on. and on the water it is used for
painting harbor buoys.
There is also made luminous card.
board. which is used for various pur-
poses.

THE RODNEY YET TO BE.

oh. the Rodney yet to be. he looked out
across the sea.
And he brought his patent telescope to
bear,
TIL he saw quiet bay five-and-forty miles
away
with the frigates of the foeman lying
there.
Then he laid aside the spyglass with the
vestige of a wink.
And he murmured 10 the bo'sun: 1--WE have

Or any other hero of the seas;
For he never said: 'Yo hor or .Avast, my

And he hadn't got a linstock, and he hadn't
got a drum;
But he had little button, which was I'M

a distant roar,
And he knew the fight was over and he
steamed away for shore

But he pondered as he went. in kind Of
discomfort,
That the conflict had been far from pic

natural that quiet. decent. self-respect-

do not wish to trouble him with their
private affairs, never come into contact
with him unless they stand in some Of

ness to transact with him. So it's quite
natural that he sees great deal Of the
low side of human nature, and it is
hardly surprising that he is said to have
