what IS called a 'diffraction grating" a
transparent glass plate on which parallel
lines have been engraved very close to-
gether, would act precisely like a prism
In such an experiment And by substt-
tuttng for one grating another that has
its lines spaced differently a change in
color will be effected at the peenhoIe
This Is not because one grating produces
only red and another only blue. Each
grating makes a complete rainbow. But
the position of the rainbow is different
for each grating. In one case the red
part of it falls on the peephoIe. while
with the other the blue comes opposite
the aperture.
The viewing apparatus which Prof
Wood uses for the examination of one of
his finished pictures is arranged on the
plan just described. One must look
through a hole in order to see 1t. And
the thing which is used for exhibition
purposes is a solitary plate upon which
have been impressed, by a method about
to be described, a lot Of fine lines. All
that was red in the original subject has
been printed into the final picture in
lines of such a spacing that they will
throw the red part of their spectrum
on the peephole. The greens of the
original are represented by another set
of lines, whose spacing has been so cal
culated that they will PROJECT the
green part of their spectrum upon the
eye. And so with the blues The plata

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 2O-Until yester-
day afternoon 1 was Of the firm belief
that Dante had long ago gone to his re-
ward, but 1 was undeceived when he
walked into the Office and suggested that
he become one of the concessionaires of
the exposition. True, Dante. the one who
called, vas travelling under an alias, for

stated that his home was at Oil City, but
as soon as he began 10 talk of his old
hobby it was not a hard matter to identi-
fly him.

EXPOSITION" he asked abruptly
Simply have you arrested If you at
tempt it, was the answer to his curdling
query.
Don't mean raise it," he continued,
as he dropped into chair and pulled out
a mass of documents. I'm ready to put
a great feature into this show and want
to tell you about it. There will be all
kinds of wheels and towers and giant
buffalos and whales and such things
feature; one which every man alive will
want to get a real idea Of. Take like hot
cakes, without a doubt Now, 1 know all
about this hell business and I've studied
the matter up carefully. In fact, it's been
a speciality of mine for. long time.
Here are the plans"
So Intricate and mixed up was the mass
of drawings that 1t was impossible to
make head or tail Of them.
Il guess I can explain it easier" said
Dante Weber. THE idea is to construct
number of telescope cylinders, each one
large enough to receive an elevator cage
Each cylinder must be'so thin that 1t can
be extended and continue to rise in the
air, thus giving the occupants of the ele-
vator cage the idea they are descending
into the bowels of the earth.
Under each of these cylinders huge
furnace is to be built, and that furnace
is to be made as near like hell as possible
by placing in the flames a large number
OF clay figures of men, and women, and
children, and snakes and lizards, and
nevis, and toads and frogs, and all
creeping, crawling things. Those clay fig
uces will writhe and move about by the
aid of the wire machinery which will be
attached to them, and after they have
been in the flames for a while will get
red hot, and the spectators will get very
good idea of what hell really is.
You can see the possibilities of the
idea. He'll should be placed in a building

the surroundings should be as gruesome

those parts of a subject-say a vase of
iowers-that were red and with a de-
gree of intensity corresponding to the &C
tual vividness of the tint in the original.
The negative obtained with the other
screens were similarly exclusive. The
markings on each of the three plates
therefore were different in place and
density from those on the others

of his own in matters of detail; but each
Of them arranged in front of the three
plates positives) that were off from the
negatives a new set of color screens, like
those ut into the camera. The colors here
used were pigments or dyes that would
show distinctly if applied to white sur
face.
Prof. Wood begins, as do the others,
by taking three negatives with the usual
color screens, and he prints off on glass
a positive from each negative. But from
that point onward his procedure Is
unique. He employees other means to
produce the effect of color on the OBJ
servers eye. Before considering these,
however, it may be as we'll as have a
clear idea Of the general appearance of
the negatives and positives. The sensi-
tive film that the photographer puts into
his camera is to all intents and purposes
transparent. The plate upon which in
the three-screen process red rays only
are allowed to fall is so affected thereby
that, when the plate has been treated in
a developing bath, the Hght-struck re-
glons are clouded and the rest of the
plate Still keeps clear. The cloud pro-
duced is black one, and It's opacity or
denseness corresponds to the intensity of
the red in the subject of the picture.
The greens and blues produce black
clouds also on their respective plates, but
in different places from those where the
reds were imprinted.
The pOsitives that are taken from these
negatives reverse the situation showing
clouds Of opaque black where the mega
ttves were transparent, and exhibiting
clear patches wherever the negatives
were clouded.
If an observer were to stand before a
large vertical screen with his eye at a
very small hole. it would be possible,
with prism suitably adjusted before a
white light on the other side, to make
him see a blaze of red, yellow, green,

LITTLE CHANGE IN NATAL
BOER TROOPS MASS SOUTH OF
LADYSMITH.
Pigeon Post Message From General
White-French Rumors of an Attack
Upon London-Buller at Capetown.

LONDON, November 1.-THE news
from Natal received in London, though
meager, all points to one conclusion.
The Beers are endeavOring to surround
Ladysmith in such a way as to not only
completely invest the town and garri-
any British reinforcements that may be
sent from Durham.
No fresh battles or even skirmishes
have been reported. There are signs
that the greater part of the Boer forces
are concentrating between Ladysmith
and Colenso. In this position Lady
smith is effeCtually cut off from all
help, and at the same the enemy is we'll
placed to meet any British force ad-
Vancing from EstcOurt. The risk to the
Beers is great in case of retreat, as
General White will certainly intercept
them, unless they fall back in the di-
rection of Twinta Pass and divers
Mock. If they should take either of
these routes they must abandon most of
their guns
The bombardment of Ladysmith con-
tnues. Probably the Beers by now
have several heavy guns in place, so
that the British garrison may have to
endure severe trials The Boer shells
are said to be bursting better than
hitherto, and the fire of their big weap-
ons is becoming more effective.
LONDON, November 1O.-The British
War Office has received from General
Butler the following dispatch:
CAPE TOWN, Thursday evening,
November 9.-Have received by pigeon
post from General White today the fol-
lowing:
THE bombardment at long range by

harm is being done.

LAND BELONGS 70 NORRIS
DECISION IN KAHUKU RANCH
CASE.
Supreme Court Says j. O. Carter Ex-
ceeded His Authority in Making Sale
on Part Credit Terms.

Colonel Norris has been awarded a
decision by the Supreme Court i'm the
famous suit brought against him by
Brewer q Company, for the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company for the possess
sion of Kahuku ranch on the isiam1 Cf
Hawaii. This sale, it will be RENE mber-
ed, was made by j. O. Carter atcIng
upon letters of Mr. Norris. II appears
that the owner wanted cash for MS
property. but Carters terms were a
part credit.
Norris claimed that this concession
nullified the deal; that, as values he'd
gone up so much since annexation, lie
did not now care to sci at all, etc.
In a word, the court denies the petit
tion of Brewer q Company for specifi-
ic performance on the ground that the
agent, j. O. Carter. exceeded his auth
ority in contracting the sale on a basis
on part credit. The decision is a very
long one, covering the numerous points
brought out at the hearing as well as
a discussion of the Circuit Judges rea-
sOnng.

THE NAVY DREDGER GETTING
CLOSE TO IT.
Enough Dredging Done Already to Add
Another Wharf.-The Driving Begun
This Morning.

The dredger at the new navy docks
is getting close to the pilot house and
the latter will have to be moved out of
the way in a few days. About $50 cubic
yards have been taken out by the
dredger at the end of the Pacific Mail
wharf. The navy transport Solace is
docked in newly dredged water where
she could not have gone a few weeks
| ago, so that the work done has already
provided one additional wharf
Where to put the pilot house is ques-
ton that is being much discussed
among those interested. The pilots have
not had a very pleasant time of it since
the dredging began, avs they have been
shut up by the pipes of the dredger and
have often had good deal of difficulty
in making a way to the open harbor
from the pilot house. The dredger is
now closing in on them so that it will
be necessary to move the house back
on to the land before another week, as
temporary measure. This will de-
prive the pilots of any place for their
boats and the latter will have to be left
in the water.
1t is thought that the place finally
selected for the pilot house will be East
of its present locality The docks of the
navy will extend nearly to the marine
railway and the pilots will have to go
beyond them They are not very much
pleased with the prospect of going so
far out, but there is no appeal from the
decision of the naval authorities
The pile driver began work this
morning on the first dock to be con-
stiucted, near the Pacific Mail wharf.
