Kaiser's last week in Jerusalem was
the presentation to him by the Sultan
of a small lot of ground reputed to be
the site of the Virgin Mary's home in
that city. The Kaiser turned the lot
over to the Pope, to be held in trust for
the Catholics of Germany. This lot is
not, as some newspapers have asserted.
a vacant one. A two-story establish
ment devoted to business purposes has
stood there for the last two centuries.
This will probably be torn down, and a
chapel or church will be erected upon
it. The attendant excavations may re-
veal something to confirm or deny the
tradition that here the Virgin Mary
lived with her son during the last three
years Of His life.
There are many spots in the Holy
Land which are associated with the
Mother Of God. She was a native of
Nazareth, Christ was born to her at
Bethlehem, he was brought up under
her care at Nazareth. Later the family
domicile was transferred to Jerusalem.
After the crucifixion, according to the
legend, Mary fed with st. John, the
Evangelist, to Ephesus, where John,
the beloved disciple, built her a house,
in which she spent her last days.
In Nazareth is still pointed out the
remains of what is claimed to be the
erstwhile home of the Holy Family.
This Is now portion Of the Latin con-
vent, large square building enclosed
by wall. A chapel known as the
Church of the Annunciation rises over
the spot, but underneath the church
are shown the kitchen, parlor and bed
room Of the Virgin and the workshop
OF Joseph. 1t is a little difficult to
reconcile these details with the other
legend of the Santa Casa, or Holy
House of Loreto, in Italy. The Santa
casa is reputed to be the veritable

traits, which require a good deal of eX-
perience and technical knowledge. In
the gallery of an artist one usually
finds that the studio is provided with
a skylight. The amateur is rarely able
to command one. However, in a recent
issue The Mechanic Arts Magazine"
made some excellent suggestions on
this point.
1t was recommended that an ordi-
nary side window be shaded up to q
height Of about five feet from the floor
by means of bookbinders' board. This
can be cut to fit the window casing. In
front of the binders board should be
hung cambric, of whatever hue, gray
or black is preferred for background.
Some subjects require light one and
some dark one. Hence the material
should be hung in such way that it
can be changed readily. In order to
get good supply of light from above
rejecting screen is provided. 1t
should consist of white cloth-a sheet,
for instance. Beginning at a distance
of eighteen inches from the side wall,
one edge of the sheet should be fast
ened to the ceiling. The lower edge
of the cloth should be stiffened with a
strip of wood, like a sail. Then the
screen ought to be inclined away from
the window at an angle of about As
degrees. Another screen, hung from
the ceiling or mounted on feet at one
side of the sitter, out Of range of the
camera, Will assist in lighting one side
OF the face more than the other In a
full face picture and in Illuminating
the face for profile view. The mag
azine here referred to goes on to say:
Where the photograph is to be a
full-length figure or three-quarter full
length, care must be exercised that the
upper part of the subject is not more
strongly lighted than the draperles
nearer the floor. 1t is well, on this ac-
count, to spread on the floor a white
sheet or NUMBER of newspapers, so
that the light may be reflected upward
against the lower part of the figure.
Where a person has light curly or
fluffy hair 1T Is best to illuminate the
hair brilliantly by setting the top
screen about as shown in the illustra-
t1on and then arrange the side screen
to reflect light on the face in an up
ward direction, so that as far as possi-
bic its stronger shadows may be soft
ened and too much contrast prevented"

The vertical adjustment of the plat

If you can't possibly do a certain
thing, try to do it, and people will ad

This rule can always be depended
upon: a gossip will be just as bad as
the listener will permit him to be.
Strawberry shot cake is a good deal

Every man has so many umbrellas

flattering.
1t Is easy to carry a good thing too
far. People have contempt for a man
who does nothing but look after his
patriotism.
We suppose that If ever the modest
shrinking violet got married, It would
be transformed into an aggressive
Canada thistle.
What has become of the old-fashion-
ed woman who didn't think she was
treating her guests right if they ever
stopped eating?
We have this kind Of memory: we
can remember the correct spelling of

loupe season lasts.
When a man is invited to dinner at

There are various ideas of good
time, but when the uniform rank of a
negro lodge comes to town, and gives
a parade, we begin having a good time.
When a woman admits to another
woman that she occasionally finds a
bedbug in her house, it indicates that
she reposes the greatest confidence in
her.
People who do not get many tele-

it's contents.
We have often wondered that women
do not have their kitchen dresses made
as low-necked as their party dresses.
1t would certainly be cooler in working
over hot stove.
You are always hearing people
abused who are cold and clammy.
They should be admired more. Cold

We don't see why girls are sent

HUNTERS HUGE TELESCOPE.
Philadelphia Inventor Who Says He
Can Reveal Mars ecrets.

Rudolph NJ. Hunter claims that he
has invented telescope with which
he can see the cities Of Mars, if such
exist, and even the beings that in
habit that planet. That such tele-
scope would cost much money is nat
ural inference. The telescope, accord
ing to the statement of the inventor,
should primarily be national affair,
and the achievements that would re-
suit therefore rebound to the glory of
the country as we'll as to the individual
scientist. According to the inventor it
is simply a question of supplying
lenses in sufficient quantities to bring
close to earth the wonders of the heav-
ems. Where other telescopes consist of
one lens of the refractory kind meas
ured simply by inches, this Philadel-
phia inventor proposes to use any
amount of lenses placed together in the

A CUBAN RAILWAY,
Differs in Many Respects from Roads
in the United states.


When one wishes to leave Havana nv
rail to see something Of the real Cuba
say, to take trip to Pinar del Rio
or to Cienfuegos-he must get up very
early. The through trains leave at 6
O'Clock In the morning. l asked the
chief engineer of the railroad to Pinar
del Rio why 50 early a start was made
for a town only 100 miles away, and
he said 1t was so as to get back the
same day.
The American traveller Is not only
likely to grumble when he is compelled
to hurry to the station in the thick
gloom of the early morning, but when
he reaches the station and finds that
he must pay about cents a mile in
gold, and from Z to s cents a mile in
Spanish silver, to ride in the back
breaking cars known as first-class car.
riages, and that for an ordinary trunk
he must pay about half fare, he is in
clined to scoh at the primitive mode of
travel, and to long for the luxury of
even stage-coach journeying on a
Western mountain road. The amazing
amount Of computation by the ticket
agent before he sells a ticket, the
smoky lamps, the three preliminary
tootings by the engine before the train
starts, the final ringing of bell by the
baggage-master as signal that the
train really is going the crowded con-
dition Of the aisles, choked with lug
gage for which the passengers do not
care to pay toll, and every man in the
train, from the conductor down to the
barefooted brakemen, smoking tobacco
of varying degrees of excellence-all
this Is likely to weary the American
traveller used to the luxury of Pullman
cars. A few hard jolts bring up to the
Imagination the prospect of miser-
able trip, and one is inclined at the
very outset to rail at the crudlties of
travel by cars In the island Of Cuba.

when l state emphatically that this
telescope as proposed by me will do
work utterly impossible for any other
telescope to reach. An ordinary tele-
scope of the largest size, let us say
with a lens 40 inches in diameter,
would have an area of 1,260 inches to
receive the parallel rays which are
condensed into the eye piece. In the
telescope in question the area would
be 509,1S4 square inches In other
words, the magnifying capacity would
be 500 times as great. That the moon

The property owners Of White Bear
village will meet next Friday evening
at o'clock. at the Commercial club, to
consider the advisability Of securing
permission from the Legislature to issue
bonds to be used in identifying and
improving White Bear lake The plan
of Improvement which has not yet been
fully arranged includes q boulevard ell

terday afternoon in the office Of Abb
stract Clerk John Schultz at the court
house. Those present were: julius
Goldsmith, David Hanna, j. C. Jensen,
Representative Thomas c. Fulton, M
Kost. A. M. Lawton, Charles Ref and
John Schultz. The plan of improy-
ments was informally discussed, but 1t
was decided to refer the whole matter
to larger meeting to be held at the
Commercial club.
The movement had it's inception
among the property owners near the
lake who have for some time been
hguring on plans for making the lake
even more popular than at present as
a summer resort. 1t was first propoS-
ed that funds be raised by subscription,
but after the plan grew to include the
dredging of the lake and the construc-
ton Of boulevard it was figured that
the issuance of village bonds.
AT the meeting Friday evening the
plans, as partially formulated, will be
discussed and an effort made to arrive
at an estimate of the cost and then the
advisability Of the bond issue will come
up.
We are practically unanimous in the
desire that something be done to beau
tify the lake." said Abstract Clerk John
Schult. yesterday. 1.-The boulevard
would add greatly to the attractions
presented for summer visitors and the
yachting interests which are very large
and important demand that there be
considerable dredging DONE This, Of
course, will require money. 1 believe
that we are all willing to pay our pro
rata share of the cost. and the plan for
securing authority for bond issue,

pose, meets with general approval. The
