NEW AND INGENIOUS DEVICES.

Powder for flashlight pictures is re- placed by gas in new invention, which has the gas stored in jar, with flame in position to ignite it when the jar is opened by pressure on pneumatic bulb, the latter also operating the shutter of the camera.
 By the use of new steam radiator attachment the air is drawn from the interior to admit more steam when the radiator cools, a thermostat being connected with a valve to open the ex- haust outlet and allow the steam to flow in without regard to the other radiators on the circuit.
 Two Montana men have patented @ handy knife sharpener, which has a pair of small grindstones inserted in movable jaws, with a system of gearing inside a easing, to which the jaws are attached, a crank being used to revolve the train and turn the stones rapidly over the blade to be sharpened.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

A long focus, by which is meant a long bellows camera, is a good thing to have for general field work.
 The cameo process of making photo graphs comprehends the use of presses, dies and special apparatus, in addition to degree of skill and care impossible to the average amateur. It is one of the most difficult of all photographic processes.
 Alcohol is the usual medium for the quick drying of plates, but here is an- other very good way. Make up a solu- tion of formatin one part, and water nine parts. Immerse the negative in this for five minutes, then give it a quick plunge into hot water and stand it up to dry. The formatin hardens the film so that it can hardly be melted even by prolonged soaking in hotwater.
 The usual reason why amateurs fail to get good pictures of flowers is that they use an ordinary plate instead of an isochromatic. Getting good flower pictures 1 believe 1 may say is impossi- ble without the use of isochromatic pldbCSs DGCduSC A4lO ucllCdlt COlOL var ues which more than the form make the beauty of flower, are on the ordi- nary plate quite lost. A ray filter used as an ordinary plate will, of course, have more or less of the same effect.

The best results, however, are gotten near CT the middle of the day.-"Snapshot," in Philadelphia Press.

Mining Intelligence.

H. K. Behn yesterday brought in some fine ore from his Eva mine. on which he is having the assessment work done. He has a shaft down on the claim .fifty-five feet, at the bottom of which there is an ore streak six in ches wide. This claim adjoins the McCabe and the Gladstone and the surface ore Is very similar in charac- ter to that of the former property. Rich float from the ledge was dis covered ten years ago by prospec- tor, but the most diligent and careful search failed to reveal to him the To- cation of the vein from which it came. A few years ago Mir. Behn discovered it, while out walking, more by acci- dent than otherwise, and he has con tinued to keep up his assessment work and develop it as he can. The vein Is a true contact between granite and porphyry and ore from it has assayed as high as five ounces in gold and ten ounces in silver. He has great faith in its developing into a good paying mine, by work.

A Warbling Contest.

A contest rare in sporting annals will be decided shortly in Paterson, New Jersey, at the house of Richard Cudden. Mir. Cudden, who Is a bird fancier, has pitted one of his canaries to sing against any English canary which Thomas Marsden, another bird fancier, can produce. Each has picked out his bird, both one-vear birds and great singers.
 Mir. Cudden says: You see strange canaries are jealous of each other. Put them in the same cage and they fight like wildcats, but put them in the same room iu separate cages and as soon as they see each other they will commence singing as loud as they can and keep it up until one or the other becomes exhausted. The singing contest may last an hour or an hour and half, but quality as well as endurance will be taken into consideration in this contest. My bird is Patersonian and I am quite sure it can beat the Englishman.'

Halls Cattarh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh cure is taken internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous sur faces of the system, thereby destroy ing the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by build ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

THE SIGHTS OF BOSTON.

The first church in Boston, a matched log structure, was erected in 1632 on State street, just south of the old statehouse, on the site of Brazer's build ing.
 The Back bay district was gained from the saltwater tides by filling in, mainly between 1857 and 1887, the land sales giving the state a profit of $3,500.0O0 above costs.
 Faneuil hall, "The Cradle of Lib erty," was built in 1742, by Peter Faneuil, the Huguenot merchant, for a market and public hall, and pre- sented to the town. Smibert, the pioneer painter, was the architect. It was rebuilt after fire, in 1753, and dedicated by James Otis, and much enlarged in 1906, Bulfnch be- ing the architect.
 Boston was called Shawmut, mean ing ''The place where boats go," by the Indians; Fri Montaine, by the early English settlers at Charlestown, from the three bold peaks of Beacon Hill; and finally Boston Gin 163O), by the order of the Massachusetts legislature, after Lincolnshire sea- port from which some of its people came.

Shirley, TnraraT4 E-1fa4%% Winslow, Lady Andros and Cotton, Davenport, Oxenbridge and other il- lustrious diyines, with Brattle, Sheafe and other great colonial merchants, and learned judges and several gal lant officers.
 The old statehouse, at the head of State street, was built in 174s, in the walls of it's predecessor, erected in 1713, and on the site of the town house of 1857; and for half a cen- tury the honorable provincial coun- cil and the state senate met in the eastern hall, and the house of rep resentatives in the western hall. Here, according to John Adams, 'In- dependence was born;" and for IA years Samuel Adams and Hancock, Otis and Quincy and other patriots resisted British aggressions, with fiery eloquence. Here the stamp act elearances were burned; the Brit ish troops were quartered, in 176s; GenI. Howe and Clinton held their war councils, surrounded by officers clad in scarlet and lace, and the state constitution was planned.

And eating is simply perfunctory- done because it must be.
 This is the common complaint of the dyspeptic.
 If eating sparingly would cure dys- pepsia. few would suffer from it long.
 The only way to cure dyspepsia. which is difficult digestion. is to give vigor and tone to the stomach and the whole digestive system.

A LAWYERS FRIGHT.
The Judge Was Locked in Room With
 a Woman.

An amusing but harmless incident occurred yesterday to a prominent Phenix attorney. The gentleman had
 just returned from his lunch and when he unlocked his door he left the key on the outside. Presently a nicely dressed, nice looking lady stepped into his office to consult the judge on
 business. The lady was a stranger to the attorney and he asked her to take a seat and with all of the-time courtesy, he and his client were busily engaged in discussing the business the lady came to transact, when a tot, not over four years old, appears on the scene. The mite began fooling with the key on the outside and finally the little imp succeeded in locking the door, and in his innocence had no idea what he had done. Presently the lady arose to depart, but upon ap- preaching the door she found it lock ed. She looked at the judge and the judge looked at her, an expression of fAAAAA2-' AAAN AAA bAA AAAN AtlNN OA NtAAus T lAN lady thought something was wrong, and the lawyer knew there was. The situation was getting serious, as the lady demanded permission to depart and the attorney on the inside was helpless to aid her, but finally the man of law raised his voice above the whistle of the electric light and shout ed John, John, will you please un- lock my door" "John" who was in an adjoining room went out to investi- gate and there was the four year old boy, with grin on his face looking at the key hole. The door was unlocked. The lady, realizing the situation began to laugh, but it was no laughing matter with the judge, as beads of precipitation stood on his forehead. Kid you'get home," shouted he and the scared boy left in double quick time. The lawyer now carries his office key on a string around his neck for safety.- Gazette.

It Is better to saw wood at two bits cord than to whittle wood in loafing match and cuss the government.
