Peanut Has Many Aliases.

Although the peanut is distinct
ly American product, 1t Is known near
ly the world over. When its wide pop
sidered, it Is remarkable how many
aliases there are under which the pea
nut travels. Whenever 1t is introduced
to a new community the toOths0me Of
fering of the sod adopts a new name
and comes forth with an additional So
briquet which makes it almost unrec-
equitable to It's old acquaintance. Ii
the edible fruit"-as the dictionaries
call it-had ever done anything to be
ashamed Of, the public might under
stand, but as things are the eccentrici-
ties Of peanut nomenclature are aDso-
lutely astonishing.
In Virginia we designate our little
friend principally as the peanut. but
quite often we likewise allude to him as
''groundpea" and occasionally as
"goober." Over in England they call
the same fruit groundnut, while It Is
variously known elsewhere as "earth-
nut" Manila nut" "jurnut' and pin
dar." The scientific patronymic, as we
understood it, is Arachis pypogaea, anu
the family belongs to the genus OF
leguminous plants.
But. be its name what 1t may, pea
nut is a peanut the world over, SO lar
as its virtues go, and few are the na
man palates which decline to receiVe
an introduction to it.

An English writer suggests an ad.
mirable method of taking snapshot
pictures in the crowded street where.
under the ordinary method of manipu.
lation, figures close at hand are very
apt to obtrude themselves in such a
way as to cut off the view. His meth
cd of working consists In holding the
camera over his head and upside down.

er and making his exposure in this Do
sition. OF course all cameras are not
adapted to this method Of working. but
where a camera other than a magazine
Is used it is perfectly possible. IL
should be remembered, however, that
great care must be taken to keep the
camera from movement when the ex-
posture is made.
Mr.. J. e. Green, writing in the Lon
don Photographic News, draws atten-
ton to feature In development that
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
This Is the timing Of the various
stages. A watch in the dark room ia
almost as essential as the developer.
Mr. Greene says:
We may discover any marked error
in exposure by noting carefully the
length of time which expires from the
fiowIng-on of the normal developer to
the first appearance of the image We
may call this period the prenatal"
stage of development-the stage pre-
ceding the birth of the image.
When 1t is known what the length
of the prenatal stage Of development
should be for a normal exposure its
accurate observation is a. valuable aid
to the early detection of abnormal ex-
posure If we find by numerous trials
that, after normal exposures the length
Of the prenatal stage Is about fifty
seconds, or say from forty-ive to fifty
five seconds, we know, surely, that we
have an over-expOsure when the image
appears In thirty or thirty-fve seconds;
and If the image does not appear for
sixty, seventy or eighty seconds, we
have an under-exposure.
If to these hints of Mr.. Greenes we
add that every developer, as discovered
by Mr. Watkin, has factor of its own,
which, If multiplied by the number Of
seconds In this prenatal period, will
give the total time Of development it
will be seen that the process of pro-
ducing a negative is very considerably

to go to all the trouble formerly re-
quired for tOning, fixing and washing.
Some Of the papers now in the market
are simplicity itself to handle, with
the results under ordinary care excel
lent.
1t is a good idea when arranging the
composition Of a picture to remember
what William Morris says about the
home, to Have nothing in it that is
not either useful or that you believe
beautiful" and not put anything in
unless it has definite purpose. A ia
nous Munich painter once said when
he was not satisfied with a picture, but
could not tell why, he took something
out of it and got at the reason.
When it comes to paying $4,000 for
4x5 camera, it suggests very fOrcibly
the truth of the saying that some peO-
pie and their money are soon parted.
But the Sultan of Morocco has paid
that for one, and $4,000 for another.
The most expensive one is mounted
throughout in 1S-karat gold, and the
other Is sterling silver. OF course the

The best method of quickly drying a
negative from which prints are wanted
Immediately is, as soon as the mega
tive has been developed, fixed and
thoroughly washed, to immense it for
then remove and stand it on a piece
of blOtting paper, where it may be
famed for two or three minutes If de-
sired, at the end of which time the
negative will be dry and ready for
printing. The reason Of this is that
the alcohol expels the water from the
film and in turn evaporates on expos
ure to the air.
1t must be admitted that the use of
short focus lenses Is not calculated to
get the best out Of picture. Compare
two photographs, one taken with a
short focus tense and the other with a
long focus, and the superiority of the
latter is at once apparent. The de,
mand for compact cameras has
brought the short focus tense into use,
but 1t is undeniable that they are hard
on perspective and artistic worth The
best authorities say a tense should
have a focal length Of at least the

FIFTY PEOPLE MORE OR LESS HURT
One Instantly Killed and Others
Booked to Die-Steamer Col
Iision Costs Nine Lives.

A1pena, Mich, June 0.-An excur-
sion train on the Detroit and Macki-
nav railroad, which left here at 7:15
yesterday for Saginaw, consisting of
an engine and twelve coaches, and car
rying over 500 people, was wrecked at
Black River while running forty miles
an hour. One man was instantly
killed, three were probably fatally in
jured, and nearly fifty others received
injuries of various degrees of severity,
ranging from bruises and cuts to
broken limbs. Following are the dead
and seriously hurt: August Grosinski.
Alpena, killed. Seriously injured: John
Mccarthy, Alpena, will probably die;
Ernst Legatski and Jacob Mondorff,
Alpena, probably fatal internal inju-
ries.
Fourteen Were Severely Wounded.
Of the balance, fourteen have in
Juries that range from bad to very
severe, but are in no danger of
death. They are: Otto KnOwsky, head
badly cut and breast injured Louis
Peppler, Alpena right thigh fractured;
George Boyne, Buffalo, n. Y, sprained
back, and face and neck bruised; Carl
Boyer, right leg broken, three toes cut
off, and head seriously injured Ernest
DesJardins. Joseph Swallow, Thomas
Connors and Christian Wolff-all of
Alpena; Jerry Sherrette Bad Axe:
John Beck, J. c. ROrison, Sylvester
Klebba, Charles Mcdonald, and Mrs.
Charles McDonald-whOse residences
were not obtained.
Quick Stop Ditched the Train.
The excursion was under the aus
pices of the German Aid society, of
Alpena. When the train reached Black
River the tender jumped the track.
Engineer Hopper instantly set the air
brakes and reversed his engine. The
sudden stop threw the first three
coaches Of the train off the track and
into the ditch. The first car was
thrown half around and the next two
coaches plowed through it and cut it
in two. August Grosinski, the only
person killed, was seated in this coach
with forty other eXcursionists. His
body was terribly crushed and death
was instantaneous.
Marvellous Escape of the Others.
The escape of the others in this GER
was well nigh miraculous. GrOsinski's
little son occupied the same seat With
him. but the lad was uninjured The
three wrecked coaches were piled I'D
in a heap, and 200 feet of the track
was torn up. AS soon as the Occu-
pants of the uninjured coaches recov-
cred from the shock and surprise they
rushed to the wrecked cars and began
aiding the injured. They were extri-
Gated from the wreck with frantic
haste and given all possible relief.
