SCIENCE STRINGS.

Street cars propelled by liquid air
have been satisfactorily tested in Zu-
rich.
The Arctic sparrow, among all ami
mails, has the biggest brain in proper
ton to it's size. Relatively to bulk, the
canary bird possesses a brain bigger
than a mans, and the same is true of
the squirrel monkey of South America,
which is not an exceptionally intelli
gent simian.
Mining engineers agree that the limit
to which shafts may be sunk into the
earth with the present machinery and
equipments is 10000 feet. The deepest
shaft ever dug is the one now in exist
ence in one of the copper mines on Lake
Superior. It has sheer depth of 5000
feet.

scribe an apparatus they have invented
for photographing the interior of the
stomach. The foremost end of the
stomach tube contains microscopic
camera and an electric light. Vixen the
stomach is emptied and filed with air
the apparatus photographs the most
secret recesses. The negative is about
the size of a cherry stone, but can be
enlarged.
DR.. W. Hastings. summarizing obser-
vations made in this country and Eu-
rope, says that the regular growth of
children continues from two up to six
teen years. From Is to II the growth
is usually retarded. a man does not
fully attain his growth until after the
age of IS, and athletic exercise extends
the period of growth to 80 years. Be
tween the ages of so and 60 the size of
the human body diminishes. Depriva-
ton of food and hard work interfere
with bodily growth.

FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

What is needed among amateurs is
more study and thought and not so
many photographs.
Poor slides often make excellent COW
er glasses if they are free from bubbles
and well cleaned. Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint
ing or giving slight change of color.
It might just as well be called gliding,
for in the toning bath a thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
It is a point to bear in mind in
slidemaking that slides which are just
right for lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again, those
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
1t is a rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
shadows, and the toning bath is some
times manipulated to put the desired
harmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in his picture.

Biography was performed in New York
when biograph pictures of the parade
of Astor's battery, taken in the after
noon, were shown the same night at
Keith's theater. The pictures, 1000 in
number, were taken in IS seconds, ten
minutes after four o'clock. They were
sent to Hoboken for development, and
were back at the theater at 9:15
o'clock. This is said to be the fastest
work of the kind on record, the best
previous record of seven hours having
been made in London on the occasion
of the return of Gen. Kitchener from
Egypt.

Black Hills Pioneers,

The Society Of Black Hills Pioneers
held its eleventh annual meeting and
banquet in Deadwood last Saturday
evening. The meeting was called to Or
der by President Gushurst, Paul Rev

The report of the secretary showed a

200, and five honorary members. Three
new members joined during the year.
Four deaths occurred duridg the past
year: l.. r. Graves, Z. c. Bentley, Ed.
Shannon and Mrs. John Gray, the last
an honorary member of the body. The
society attended each of tn Sc funerals
as body. The directors held eight
meetings during the year.
In his report the secretary says for
the benefit of the society, members
should endeavor to keep the secretary
informed where to reach them by mail,
the past year changing the abode of
many The matter Of prompt payment
Of dues by your body is very important,
deaths occurring more frequently and
the resources consequently less. There
are many persons still present in the
Hills eligible for membership, and in
dividual effort should be made to get
them to join this society, and thereby
continue the life of it materially.
The treasurer reported total receipts
to have been $5l93S, anG expenditures
$3lS.5l.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:

The question of aiding the sick and
buryirg the dead was discussed and the
amount was left discretionary with the
directors. The retiring president re-
ported that during the past year the
directors had furnished a room at st.
Joseph's hospital for the use and bene-
fit of the members of the society. The
time of holding the annual picnic was
left to the directors.

$4,000. On these two considerations the
matter will be dropped.
