Photography.

Shorthand Of rudimcntary sort was
practised by the Romans. Jiro, the
freedman Of Cicero. introduced sys.
tenn which was only an abbreviated
longhand. The ideal held before them
by inventors Of more modern systems
is more rapid and accurate. 1t is des-
cribed by one of the early fathers Of
the art. Peter Bales Q547-161O), In
these words: TO write as fast as a
man speaketh treataDly." He acknowl-
edges that this may seem hard saying,
but insists that in effect the method
Is very easy, containing a many COM
modities under a few principles, the
shortness whereof is attained by men,
ory, and swiftness by practice, and
sweetness by industry"
Not even an approximation, however,
to this ideal was reached until 1887,
with the publication of Isaac Pitman's
system of shorthand, entitled "Phon-
osraphy." He revolutionized the art
by making his Topographic signs repre-
sent the sounds of the English letters.
Other inventors like Anderson and
Taylor, have made more or less impor-
tant improvements upon Pitman's sys.
TEN, bat Pitman remains the master
mind of modern photography and his
books the master works in this line
of human achievement.

BRIAR PIPES.
Signs by Which Smoker Can Tell a
Good One.

It is strange, and yet it Is fact, that
the English workman Is of no use in
the manufacture of pipes. The most
skillful artisans are either the Austri-
ans or the French. The pipemakcrs are
n very select. small body, and observe
every precaution TO prevent their trade
being learned by outsiders. The work
men are clever and they can earn high
wages.
Speaking Of the cost of pipe sue
cessful manufacturer remarks: when
the blocks arrive over here they are
1T once sorted. Out Of one gross of
i,ccks I rarely ever get more than
three or four pieces of wood for the
ordinary everyday pipe. The remaining
seven dozen pieces Of wood are thrown
into the furnace. and, l might mention
help considerably to generate the nee
pssary steam power for the machinery.
Thus fully GO per cent. Of the material
l purchase is of no Use whatever, and
1t is this extraordinary amount Of
waste that causes the briar pipe to be
so expensive.
The prevailing defect, may mention
nv the way, is generally In the form
Of crack in the wood. | used to sell
these defective blocks of briar at a
penny apiece. and have sent away as
rnany as 10000 condemned hriars at
time. but now | burn them all. The
briars We're sent abroad and the cracks
sjiG flaws stopped with putty or some
other coulrus tion and then stepped in
strong solution of permanganate of
potash. which deeply colored the wood
and made the defect invisible except
on close inspection. All those briars
you see of II very deep color have
passed through the permanganate OF
potash bath, and YOU may rest assured
that there is defect somewhere-they
would not be that color If 1t were not
SO, because natural briar Is Of medi-
um light hue
"As to the average life of briar
pipe, you may take it for granted that
a pipe will last you as many years as
1t costs you shillngs. That is to say, II
you pay six shillings for pipe If you
are moderate smoker, 1t will last you
six years. The style of briar pipe that
is mostly in demand is that with a
bowl cut the straight way Of the grain
This is not the most reliable kind Of
pipe, as the sudden expansion by the
heat and contraction of the wood when
you stop smoking cause 1t to split In a
short time. The best pattern of briar
is that with bowl the grain Of which
is very notified in appearance, or, as
the trade call 1t, the bird s-eye grain
This will never split"

A New Chemical Which 10 Better
Than tho x.Ray.

A New Chemical Which 10 Better
Than tho x-Ray.
Prof. George F. Barker, Of the ply
steal laboratory of the University Of
Pennsylvania, exhibited last week for
the first time In America, the newly
discovered chemical element radium.
which seems destined to create a great
stir In the scientific world. Years ago
BeQuerel found that salts of the rare
metal uranium possessed the power Of
throwing Off a feeble and invisible ra-
dance, like the X rays. Nine. Curie, in
Paris, last year isolated from the Bo-
hemian mineral pitchblend two other
elements that behave in the same man
ner, but are far more active. One or
them she called "polonium' and the
other "radium." The latter Is said to
be 100000 times as intense as uranium
in its Photographic effect.
Prof Barker has been experimenting
with all three of these elements and
with the mineral (pltchblend or ura-
nite) from which the two new ele-
ments are derived. He showed to the
Bibllographical Club here this week
series Of Photographic plates on which
lUpTtSSoUS hdu I'Scll 'f
these substances. His procedure has
been as follows:
"A Photographic plate was inclosed
In black paper and then covered with
yellow paper. After one whole days
exposure to the sunlight no effect was
produced. This prechution proved the
thoroughness Of the protection. Then
the various metals and salts were
placed upon the paper-coveNI plate
and they produced dark stains.

iects would he placed between the met
al and the plate, and the result would
be similar to those obtained by the
Y rays such substances as bone would
show clearly through the flesh and sur
rounding tissue. A photograph can he
taken by means OF radium In half n
minute
"The importance of this discovery
can hardly be ovcrestlmated The won
derful results of the X rays now so
useful in surgical diagnosis, can be du-
piicated by n method much cheaper.
Moreover radium seems to suffer no
diminution of energy or loss or weight
during the process In addition to pro-
ducing an impression on the pnOlo-
graphic plate. radinm produces phos-
phorescence, and discharges electrified
bodies. Thus it will he seen that 1t
possesses all the qualities Of the Ro-
entger rays.

the fundamental laws Of physics,
namely. that of the conservation Of en-
crgy. If does not derive its photograph.

THE ANGLER FISH.
tila Hamnoth Mouth Snaps on What

sis H@mn7oth Mouth Snaps on What
.V2r Touches the Projecting Fin.
Most remarkable Of strange fishes
y lie angler fish whose very name
g. MS a paradox The fishing fish,
.. ertheless, is a reality, and stern
TIE to all who approach those awful
Jaws OF his. With a body the color of
aud he genrally lies in the shadow Of
Ecne rock on the bottom of the sea-
waiting motionless for the approach
ct his prey. He is provided with an
rdd kind of fin just over the mouth,
fnd this is held out in front of him to
give warning of the coming of some
thing to be swallowed. One taken
alive was experimental on, and it
was found that if this projecting fin
was touched with stick, even though
the stick did not come near the
mouth, the jaws closed convulsively.
This shows that the fin by some pro.
rision of nature closes the jaw az
soon as 1t Is touched. The mouth is
tremendous, growing to the width of
2 foot when the whole fish Is only
three feet long. One of these anglers
WAS cQnght not long since, and though
It was only twenty-five inches long,
fish fiften inches long was found stick
ing in its throat. The angler is pro-
~ided with peculiar teeth set in dou.
hle Or treble rows along the jaws and
at the entrance Of the throat, Some
of these teeth are a foot long, He is
not pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business and will
fwallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether 1t is meant for
food or not All kinds of things have
been found In the stomachs of anglers,
from bits of lead and stone to fish al
most as large as the angler itself.
This is without doubt one of the most
peculiar and interesting fish in the
whole ocean. N. Y. Sun.

The Orqanist an Autocrat.

'If there ever is any trouble In the
congregation about the music, and if
the minister ever worries himself, 1t
is admitted at once that the congrega-
tion and the minister are alone to
blame" writes Ian Maclaren in the
January Ladies' Home Journal. But
there are other difficulties and they
may be mentioned in spirit Of becom-
ing humility For one thing, the organ.
ist is an artist, and every artist has a
nature of special refinement which
cannot bear the rOugh-andtumble Or
binary methods of life. With a man
of common clay you deal in practi-
cal, straightforward and even brutal
fashion, arguing with him, complain
ing to him, and putting him right
when he is wrong. But no man must
handle precious porcelain in such fash
ion, or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter, for, as
q rule, the organist thinks that he is
lifted above criticism and public opin-
ion. 1t is impossible to teach him any.
