pIete rainbow, but its position is diff
ferent for each grating. In one case
a red color falls upon the aperture, in
another blue or green comes opposite.
One of Prof. Woods finished pictures
must be viewed through an apparatus
constructed on the above plan.
A great number of very fine lines are
printed on a single plate, where 1000
parallel black lines to the inch project
to the eye through the aperture the
red part of their spectrum, 2,4OO the
green and 2,75O the blue. The plate
bears no trace of color. 1t requires
three separate printing operations to
produce this plate. Upon a sensitive
film a 2,oOO-line grating is laid and
the positive obtained from the red rays
placed on top. Through the two light
is allowed to shine. Whenever trans
parent spots appear in the positive,
lines of this rate of frequency are regis
tered on the film. These transparent
places only appear where red occurred
in the subject to be reproduced. When
this grating and positive are removed
the 24-line grating and green ray posi-
tive are substituted, and 2,4OO lines to
the inch are now printed where green
appeared in the original. The same
process followed with the other graf
ing and positive causes 2,75O lines to
the inch to appear where it is desired
to show blue.
The success of the printing depends
upon adjusting the positives so that
they occupy precisely the same posi-
ton. It can readily be seen that they
cannot deviate the smallest fraction of
an inch. A picture may, however, be
copied any number of times after be-
ing made on one plate. For examina-
ton it is placed between the light and
frame in which is a square lens in an
upright position. The observer looks
through hole in a black screen about
IS inches distant. None of the pictures
yet made in this manner Will bear
much enlargement, although they may
be somewhat magnif1ed by magic Ian
tern. This method of color photog-
raphy is the most successful yet found.
The first really successful photo
graph of the interior of a mans stom-
ach was made in Chicago recently.
After dieting for two days, Mr.. J. c.
Foster, of Cleveland, was placed upon
an operating table, where he swallowed
rubber bulb at the end of tube.
The interior of the bulb was coated
with Photographic emulsion and served
as a sensitive plate. When inflated it
conformed to the walls of the stom-
ach. A Crooks tube placed over that
organ was allowed to remain eight
minutes. The bulb being now with
drawn, picture was developed on it's
interior, as in an ordinary X-ray pho
tograph. Mr.. Foster has taken this,
which shows large tumor in the stom-
ach, to Cleveland, where it Will serve
as guide to physicians who are to OPP
crate upon him in hospital of that

HOW to Prepare wbttev.xh

Take half bushel of unslacked lime,
slack it with boiling water, cover dur
ing the process to keep in the steam,
strain the liquid through fine sieve
or strainer and add to it peck of salt
previously dissolved in warm water,
three pounds of ground rice boiled to
a thin paste and stirred in while hot,
half a pound of Spanish whiting and
one pound clean glue previously dis
solved by soaking in cold water and
then hanging over slow fire in small
pot hung in a larger one filed with
water. Add five gallons of hot water to
the mixture, stir well and let it stand
a few days. Cover from dirt. 1t should
be applied hot, for which purpose it can
be kept in a kettle or portable furnace.
A pint of this wash mixture, if properly
applied, will cover one square yard and
viii be almost as serviceable as paint for
wood, brick or stone.-Prairie Farmer.

IN A REAL WAR.
"A Veteran of 'G1 Steams Up on the
Subject of Celebrating His
tOric Battles.

1t was at the breakfast table that Mr..
war, read something about the ami
versary of the battle of San Juan and
Began to breathe heavily through his
nose.
''Great grief, mother!" he exclaimed,
looking across the table at his wife.
>'Here's somethin' that'd make old Gen.
Sherman turn over in his grave. They're
sgoin' to celebrate the anniversary of
the battle of San Jewan. Thundera-
ton! The battle of San Jewan! Bat
tie! Gosh, all fishhooks! Battle! Say,
IF the old boys that 'uz with the Army O
the Tennessee ever started in to cele-
brate the anniversary of every burned
little popgun slIirmish like that battle
O. San Jewan we wouldn't do nothin'
but celebrate, day in and day out, from
sone years end to another: We'd have
to get up in the night and annyverser-
ate. Battle! Battle nothin'! Wy,
around Vicksburg there we used to roll
out in the mornin' an fight three or
four o. them battles just to whet our
:nppetites. We didn't call 'em battles,
though. We knew the difference be-
tween a battle and strawberry festi-

night after post meetin'. He made
few remarks about these kid soldiers
that wouldn't pass muster in crowd
o. women, but they wuz satisfyin to
me-
81 don't see why Cap Nesbit wants to
pick onto these boys. I think they de-
serve a lot O. credit for enlistin' an
goin' down there in that hot country
to fight
''Enlistin's all right an fghtin's all
right, if you do it. I don't begrudge no
man the credit of goin' out an fightin'
for his country. These boys done well
as far as they went, but don't want
no kid to tell me what war is until he's
been through one. These young fellers
got a sniff O. blood, and now they think
they've been through the slaughter
house. There's old Dan Bailey that got
shot so often he didn't mind it at all
toward the last, laid in Andersonville
till he was a rack O. bones, came home
here lookin' like corpse, and amt seen
a well day since, and he amt as big a
man in this town to-day as that grand
son O. his that went down there to Porty
Rico last winter an laid in a hammock
for six months smokin' cigarettes. He's
what they call a hero now-had an ice
cream reception for him when he come
home, didn't they? I don't reckullect
that anybody had an ice-cream recep-
ton for old Dan when he come home.
Heroes wasn't quite so gosh-danged
scarce about that time. Nobody paid
any attention to 'em. They used to
ship 'em in here by the carload, an
most O. 'em went right on through town
an out to the graveyard. Wuzn' t it you,
mother, that wuz readin' the other day
about some regiment that wouldn't git
on a train becuz they wuzn't no sleep
ers? Great Jehoshophat! I'd like to
seen somebody ask old Col. Griggs for
a sleepin'car. I'd like to heard what
he'd say. Sleepin' cars! We wuz tickled
to death to git box cars, cattle cars
anything on wheels. We didn't need
no porter to brush our cloze, for the
darned good reason that we didn't have
no cloze to brush. Then there's all this
talk about embammed beef. We'd "a
been mighty glad to git -embammed,
petrif1ed, moldy or any other way. We
thought we wuz lucky if we could git
a little hunk O. salt pork to drop in with
the beans now an then. We wuzn't
out on no moonlight excursion, by gosh,
playin' tag with a lot O. tambourine
players. We wuz out in the underbrush,
dad ding my buttons, havin' it out with
the toughest lot O. human panthers that
ever wore uniforms An yit, like as
not, if we go to breakin' in on this San
Jewan celebration, We'll git back seat
in the gallery. We amt heroes, [ guess.
Wy, on Decoration day these kids
marched in front, everyone o 'em
pulled up like toad in thunderstorm
bigger man than old Grant, as the
Teller says. Now, they're goin' to cele-
brate the anniversary of San Jewan.
There wuz another likely skirmish
about the same date. Gettysburg, l
think they call it. Wonder why some
body don't celebrate that. Hah! p

tends "a feet from the side of the car,
and, including the latter, measures 81
feet from tip to tip.
A double rudder is at the stern. One
part for steering to left or right and the
other for raising or lowering the ma
chine. A gas bag is mounted on the
center of the car. An air ship of this
size will carry five or six people easily.
Two men compose the working crew
one in the pilot-house and the other in
the engine room.
After the doors are carefully closed
on the occupants of the car, the liquid
gas which has been stored with the re-
frigerating tanks, is vaporized and the
engines started.
When rising in the air, all the lift
ing power is required, but when mo-
mentum is gained the machine becomes
self-supporting and the best results are
obtained by throwing the greatest
weight of the machine on the flying
mechanism. To do this the gas is again
reduced to liquid, and the balloon
drawn close to the car.
It is believed that, by means of the
aerodrome, greater attitudes may be
reached than have ever before been at
tanned. By increasing or diminishing
the amount of gas in the balloon the
machine can be brought to the ground
as lightly as a bird, for which it might
be mistaken when seen at a distance
overhead. So far, about $4,000 have
been expended on the machine. AS an
engine of war, the possibilities of the
aerodrome are incaiculable. 1t travels

skimmiIk Good for Ch,ck.

Recent experiments have shown that
skimmilk is very valuable food for
young chicks, but becomes less valuable
as the chicks get older, though there is
no doubt that skimmilk is always vaIu-
able as food. But for young growing
chicks it seems to be more than or
dinarily valuable. When added to this
ration for chicks it increases the con-
sumption of other foods given. The
farmer almost always has a bountifuI
supply of skimmilk, at least so far as
the demand for feed for the chicks is
concerned. Meat and milk as part OF
the ration Of the chicks will cause a
rapid growth, and this is of great im-
portance when we are trying to get fall
Iayers.-FarmerS' Review.
