Upon the return OF the boat from

determined to seize the first opportu-
nifty for photographing the community.
In obedience 10 the inspiration, there
fore, ! opened my travelling chest and.
Numbering my tripod and camera
proceeded TO train the latter on the
crowd. The enect OF this act I shah
never forget. If that innocent glass
eyed box had been a battery of gat-
ing guns, il could hardly have created
Q CONSERVATION among my specta-
tors. BY the time I had secured my
proper focus, two-thirds OF their num-
Der had lodged Z OF sight, while. with
a few exceptions. the remainder stood
eying me with undisguised suspicion.
My Instructions were TO make a
thorough tour Of the Isle OF Pines. and.
as there are absolutely no transporta-
ton facilities other than saddle horses.
was obliged to organize my expedi-
ton accordingly. Through the assist
ance OF Dr.. Fernando PlazaoIa, the al
calde Of Nueya Corona, TO whom | had
letters OF Introduction, I was enabled
TO secure the services OF two good ma
tive attendants. together with three
saddle horses and two pack animals.
With this outfit I made a complete cir
cult OF the island, the expedition oc-
cupytng a space II nearly Two weeks.
During thts time 7 succeeded In pho

GLOBE OF FIRE.

I'm Maryland.
Eastcn (Md.) Special Baltimore Sun:
Some people in Royal Oak and its
neigh5orhood witnessed a rare cleo
trical phers.menon recently large
globe OF fire rolling about in the at
mosphere. Mr.. Philip M. Pastorfeld,
a careful observer and accurate in his
statements, thus describes the phenom-
enon: Il was standing, looking from
my back porch toward the stable, be-
fore it had rained much, when sud-
denly l saw on the ground about twen-
ty-ive feet from the stable a balloon
shaped mass of fire about as large as an
ordinary ~hogshead. 1t was like a bal
loon upside down. with the stem point
ing upward. Almost instantly it ex-
ploded with a tremendous report like
a cannon, and sprays Of fire flowed
from 1t in every direction. / am posi-
tive Ii did not come from the clouds,
as I could not have helped seeing 1t IL
was done by it to anything around. I
was sure that the amount Of fire that
few from it in all directions would set
something on fire, but on examination
/ could not find anything injured. A
COW was standing within fifteen feet
OF It, but was unhurt. My children,
three of them. with the hired man.
were in the stable, and were badly
frightened, but not hurt. Two stacks
of fodder close to it were not even
scorched. The ground was not dis
turbed in the least, and the whole mat
ter is very mysterious to me. / would
like some scientific man to give me an
explanation" A gentleman Of scien-
tiic attachments says: 81 have known
only two or three instances of a sim
liar appearance. yet it is a phenome-
non that does happen at rare intervals.
and one that no one has been able
to explain satisfactorily by any OF the
known laws OF electrical phenomena"

While at Batabano | picked up a
mascot in the person OF a small black
boy about 10 years of age. He was a
bright little fellow and had quito a
remarkable history. During the Gu
ban-Spanish war he was rounded I'D.
together with several thousand recon
c~entrados, and confined TO the limits
of the town. During the terrible suf-
fering which followed this boy was Sc
iected by DR.. Fernandez, a native doc
tor, to go to Havana in quest OF medl-
cine for. the dying people. The trip
was a most hazardous one, but the 1T
tie emissary did not for a moment hes
itate to attempt it. BY reason OF MS
tender years he was allowed TO play
around the Spanish sentries on the
outskirts OF the town, and, watching
for a favorable moment, he finally
slipped past the line and set out on
his mission. Inside Of a week he was
back again, having trudged every foot

vana, while, sewed up in various parts
Of his clothing, were some 500 grains

With the rise of the camera and the Increasing desire of the people to see what they are reading about, a new and great industry has sprung up in 4he United States. The dimensions of that part of the business which devotes itself to securing D atures of public men and events are marvellous. Ten years ago worse than poor wood scuts constituted the only means of placing before the reader the idea of zthe see6A transpiring. To give a faiut sldea Of tie change it may be remarked that at the White House the other # day when the final ceremony of clos ing the war with Spain took place. 90 less than three leading photog- raphers were present. More, to Che scandal of Minister Cambon and his fellow officials the whole matter wal delayed some minutes because the men at the machines were unable to prop erly adjust their screens. It must not be understood that the president ac- tually sat with pen in his hand or that Cambon was held in the act of gigning it to let the photographers catch lip. But. nevertheless. the whole affair was delayed some time in order that the American people might zee just what was happening.
 It is common thing nowadays for the big magazines and newspapers to send expert photographers to Wash 1ngton for the express purpose of talk ing q series of snap shots of or0mi- nent United States senators and repre- sentatiyes and other celebrities of the national capital At the same time standard views of the public build 1ngs, officers of the president and the various cabinet officers are taken in stock for use as future occasions may require. In fact, the library of modern newspaper is supposed to con tain a photograph of practically every man and woman of prominence in this country, Europe, Asia and Africa as well as special pictures of foreign capitals and others representing spe- cial views of private life at home and abroad
 To woman belonged the honor of being the pioneer of this work. Mss Frances Benjamin Johnson of Wash ingtonz really began the business. CT developing photographs to such state of perfection and completeness as to have them used in place of pen and ink sketches Her pictures were first used in magazines as llustra- tions for descriptive stories about ten or twelve years ago. and since then she has steadily improved in her art dntil sine is now recognized as prob ably the best amateur photographer of portraits and interior house views in Washington. Her skill is perfected to such a high degree that when but one photographer is to be present during an important government function 0he is usually selected.
