dens and the waste oY war we desire, m
common with most civilized nations, to
reduce to the lowest possible point the
damage sustained i'm time of war by
peaceful trade and commerce. This pur-
pose can probably best be accomplished
by an international agreement to regard
all private property at sea as exempt
from capture or destruction by the forces
of beliigerent powers. |, therefore, sug-
gest for your consideration that the eX-
ecutive be authorized to correspond with
the governments o. the principal mari
time powers with a view of Incorporating
into the permanent law of civilized ma
tions the principle of the exemption of
all private property at sea, not contra
band of war, from capture or destruction
by belllEerent powers.

In the year 1900 will occur the centennial
anniversary of the founding of the city
of Washington for the permanent capital

A movement lately inaugurated by the
citizens to have the anniversary cele-

Some Things That All Amateur Pho
tOgraphers should Know.

Some Things That All Amateur Pho
tographers should Know.
Very few amateurs have time or oppor
tunity to make IA thorough study OF optics,
but If one wishes to use his camera to get
the best results he should understand
something about the lens and its action.
The rapidity of lens is term used TO
denote the length Of time which it requires
to form and impress an image on the
sensitive plate Rapidity depends on the
manner of construction and the glass en-
ployed in the making of the lens. The in
tensity or brilliancy of the image depends
upon the amount of light gathered by the
lens
The focus of the lens is the point dis
tant from the lens where the rays meet.
Now, If the ground glass which receives
this image is placed either side OF this
point, it will receive not "a point but a
spot of light, and the image will be more
or less distinct as the glass Is removed
nearer to or farther from the point where
the rays meet
The oenters of the bounding surfaces OF
a lens are called centers of curvature, and
the straight line through the center OF
curvature is called the axis OF the lens Ii
beam of light parallel TO the axis falls
upon a lens, 1t will be collected by refrao
tion at a single point. The point is called
the principal focus and its distance from
tho lens the principal focal distance.
The oonjugate foci of lens is the rela-
ton between the different distances at
which an object is formed by the lens.
The farther away an object is from the
| lens the nearer To the lens Is It's image
formed, while the nearer 10 is to the lens
ths farther away will be the formation OF
the image So for every distance at which
an object is placed from lens there Is d
corresponding distance In the formation
OF the image by the lens, and these rela'
tive distances are called the oonjugate
foci.-Harper' Round Table.

THE other day a free silver editor
who takes the defeat of the cause with
very poor grace, put forth the claim
that three hundred votes carefully
distributed through the close districts
would have made the majority in the
next House of Representatives Demo
cratic. While this might be true, it
nevertheless causes the Cincinnati
Inquirer to remark that there always
has been similar trouble in arrang-
ing the words in the dictionary 50 as
to make a good speech.

THE London Spectator says: you
can not rid the average American
farmer of the idea that when silver
and paper money are plenty times
will be good" The average Ameri-
can farmer deserves a better reputa-
tion than this. He showed in the re-
cent election that he does not think
silver and paper money in abundance
necessarily make good times. In that
election he declared that silver and
paper currency need bracing up, and
that gold must be used to do the
bracing.

QUITE a number of our contempor-
aries-especially those who train in
other company-have already tried
and convicted the senior Senator from
this state. This is not right, neither
is it fair; especially so, since every
man is adjudged innocent until a
court OF justice pronounces him
otherwise. Senator Quays friends
ask this, and all fair-minded people
will grant it.
