Among the many appliances now being
tried in warfare for the first time the
tele-photographic camera is NOT the least
important. Telephotography is often
thought to be the taking OF photographs
by means of an apparatus combining a
telescope with an ordinary camera. This
is not strictly the case, although the prin-
ciple is the same. Telephotographc ac-
ton is brought about by specially devised
lenses, the invention of an Englishman.
Its advantages in military work and es-
pecially for balloon purposes is great. 1t

Office has not officially adopted the de-
vice. In Italy, Spain, Russia and Ger
many the apparatus has been thus adopt

AT THE MASQUERADE BALL.
She Thought She Was Concealed, but
a Wide-Awake Youth Knew Her.

From the Chicago News.
This is the story of young man
who went to masquerade way over
on the west side, where his tender sus-
capabilities were gently awakened, en-
shared in the meshes of a hasty love-
but rejected. trampled upon and crush
ed and beaten up into an embittered
frappe of anguish memories all in one
evening.
He was a nice young man and wore
a high-standing collar. white choker
and an uncomfortable dress suit that
appeared to fit all right as a whole,
but whose component parts obstinately
persisted in having a sort of some
thing the matter with-it look that
raised a suspicion of its having been
borrowed for the occasion.
Among the dancers in the Stuffy
throng his eye lighted upon one of par
ticular exception. She was a fine
dancer and dressed in a neat and pref
ty costume and her eyes CLEANED out
rapturously from behind the allurins
enticement of mask of glaring red.
Petite and svelte in figure, she barely
rose to his shoulder, and, seeking her
out, he asked for a dance.
She readily assented and laughed, so
charmingly that each ripple brought
an answering reflected glow upon his
| face, and after awhile the giddy whirl
and the babel of music and noise raised
such tempest of curiosity within him
that he endeavored to see who she was.
"Oh, no." she cried, in consterna-
tion, grabbing the concealing mask
with both hands.
ho he
| But just then there came a scurrying
among the dancers who trooped out
| upon the floor and stood expectantly
| looking at the leader, who stood upon
the music platform, watch in Nand.
You see," he said; "it's time flor un-
masking, anyhow"
"Unmask," came the sharp command,
with accompanying shrieks of laughter
| from the merry throng and the young
man turned triumphantly toward his
| charmer.
But just then numbering youth of
about II slid eXcitedly across the floor
| and burst between them.
Hello, ma" he said grabbing her by
the arm. You couldn't fool mel knew
| you all right"
And the young man with the high
| collar, white choker and questionab BILE
| dress suit stood as in a hypnotic
| dream. He turned faint and sick at
| heart.
She was about 40 years old and
| looked like the quintessence of sea
| sons sour crab-apple crop, and the
| young man gave heart-rending
| groan, faded into the crowd and went
home.
