NEW PLATE FOR CAMERAS.
That VIII Prove a Boon to
Amateur Photographers.

Invention That VIII Prove a Boon to
Amateur Photographers.
The difficulties involved in the man
i%pulation of a long celluloid film have
prevented the extensive use of cinema
tographic apparatus by amateur pho
tographers. y To avoid this objection
Leo Kamm has invented a camera
the kammatograph-in which acircular
glass plate takes the place of the cellu-
loid film. The plate can be made to
rotate rapidly by means of a multiply
ing gear. and at the same time it trav-
els laterally. A small lens forms an
image upon the plate, and when the
plate is put in motion these images
are multiplied into a series of pictures
arranged in q spiral. The plate is, of
course, developed precisely in the
same way as an ordinary negative, and
a positive is then taken from it. To
display the series of pictures it is only
necessary to place the positive in the
camera and to arrange the camera so
that the beam from a lantern close to it
can pass through the lens. The plate
is then rotated as before, and the sue
cession of the pictures projected upon
the screen reproduces the original
movements. About 600 pictures can be
photographed during the motion of a
single plate at a rate of about twelve
or fourteen a second. The camera is
very compact, and both as regards
price and ad~aptability is within the
reach of any photographer who wishes
to secure pictures of rapidly changing
scenes and moving objects. The small
size of the pictures will not permit of
projection upon a large screen, but the
views can be shown large enough for
ordinary purposes.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

ARE ROLLING IN WEALTH.
Usage Indians Are the weaIthiest Peo-
pie on the Earth.

Usage Indians Are the weaIthiest Peo-
pie on the Earth.
At the Office of the commissioner of
Indian affairs a few days ago contracts
were let to cattlemen for the renting
OF the pasture lands Of the Usage In
dams in Oklahoma. These Indians
have 800, 900 acres of pasture lands, OF
which coo, 900 acres were rented. This
will add to the annual income of the
tribe about $120, 900, says the Washing
ton Post. "And already" said Captain
A. G. Tonner. assistant commissioner
of Indian affairs, yesterday, 1.-The
Usage Indians are the richest people
in the world. Several years ago the
lands of the Osages in Kansas were
sold, the sale realizing $4,000, 600. This
money was placed in the treasury OF
the United States, and from it the
come Of $500, 900. In addition to this
they own 1,57O,195 acres Of land, which
is fairly worth S. an acre, making the
value of their land holdings $7,S50,875.
There are 1872 Indians in the tribe,
counting men, women and children.
They all share alike in the tribal
wealth, and when a child is born it
becomes a joint property owner with
all the other Indians in the tribe. The
profits from the 8 5000, 900 held in the
treasury, the recent rental of pasture
lands, and other sources Of revenue,
give the Osages an annual income of
approximately $500, 900, a per capita
income of $304.25 for each man, woman
and child. When a family consists OF
man and wife and eight children, as
often happens, the family receives each
year in cash 5000, and on their lands
they raise all their foodstuffs and con-
siderable grain for the market.
The realty holdings of the tribe have
a per capita valuation of $3,9S7, or, for
a family of ten, S39,870. There is no
other race of people in the world, it is
declared, that can make such a show
ing. The Usage Indians have not fall
ed to profit by this wealth. The sons
and daughters of families are sent east
to colleges and boarding schools to be
educated, many of them receiving pro-
fessional training. There are a few
families, of course, which still live
with almost the simplicity that mark
ed the lives of their savage ancestors,
but the desire for education and Gull
ture is rapidly spreading, and when
the Osages become citizens a few years
hence they will be fully equipped for
the duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship. The homes of some of the most
progressive Osages compare favorably
with the dwellings of white people of
equal wealth. Their houses are richly
furnished with carpets and modern
furniture, and in many homes there
are pianos upon which the boarding
school training of the daughters has
taught them to perform. Horses and
carriages are not infrequent, and
though the automobile has not yet
made it's appearance, it is not an i'm
possibility of the future.

Short of Water.

Utah proposes to avert pending ca
lamity to her agricultural section by
supplying the Great Salt Lake basin
with needed water. Irrigation has cut
off the supply and the lake itself is in
imminent danger of drying up. The
usual supply OF water is being with
held and evaporation is rapidly lower
ing the level Of the lake. Centuries ago
the shores Of the great inland salt
sea were high on the mountains, where
the line Of the ancient brook is visible
today, and the lake, which has sunk
to it's present dimensions, promises to
disappear far more rapidly than in the
ages past.
