The Secretary of the Navy has 1e-
ceived a cabiegram from Lieutenant
Commander Dorm, Z. S. N, in charge of
the dry dock at Havana, which states
that while raising one of the end pom
toons of the dock in order that it might
be painted the big structure broke in
the middle, at one of the gangways.
Rear Admiral Endicott. Chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks. SAYS that
what happened was that the dock
..buckled." 1t will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000 to repair the dam
j, age. Admiral Endicott thinks the dock
was weak in the center and not capable
of bearing any strain.
The steel dry dock was built for the
Spanish navy az Bristol. England. dur
ing the Cuban insurrection just prior to
the Spanish war. Remarkable
as it may seem, the large structure was
towed all the way across the Atlantic
from Bristol tc Havana 1t was never
used by Spain, as shortly after its ar
rival the war with the United States was
declared.
The dock was bought for S195. coo 1t
may be- in view of the break which has
just occurred. that the dock will not be
repaired and that 1t will be complete
loss to the United States.

THE UNEQUAL DISTRIBU-
 TION OF WEALTH.

In the United States today about 40. .000 men own one-half of the nations wealth, while about 40 000,0 own practically nothing aud it is an acknowledged fact that only the man with ample capital has any chance to succeed in the business world today. Thoughts along this line bring to mind the fact that in the past there has been some public men who believed in restricting the accumulation of wealth. If this could be done the millionaire class, who represent only the few, could not, as now, own and con trol the greater part of the wealth of the natlon. Some think this could be done by d sliding scale of taxation beginning with the owner of, say 5, GOO, who will be required to pay a nominal tax. The wealthy man will be requir- ed to pay l nominal tax on the first $5, GOO, also. and an increased tax on every additional B, ,000in property or income,
 By this method what a man owned in excess of determinate sum would be taxed t0 conGsea- ton, thus preventing accumula- tions greater than the people, through their law-makng power, might agree upon. This plan has many enthusiastic advocates and it must he admitted that 1t pre- sents an aspect of poetic justice that is attractive,
 Nc man ever earned million dollars, it is said, and the logical sequence is that no man should be permitted to enjoy the benits and IuxQries of money that he has not earned.
 In the event that one million dollars should be fixed upon as the permitted limit of accumula- ton. John D. Rockefeller would be compelled to turn into the public treasury the other $lg9,- 000, GOO he is said to possess.
 The accumulation of tee much wealth Tn the hands or few indi- viduals might, Nith benefit, be prevented or abated, but the ob- jections to sny plan yet suggested are numerous. However, specu- lations on these plans for more equitable distribution of wealth are pleasing to those who enjoy intellectual diversion.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con- sumption. !" Eat plenty of pork, was the advice to the consumptive 90 and 100 years ago.
 Salt pork is good if a man can stomach 1t. The idea behind 1t is that lat IS the food the consumptive needs most.
 Scott sEmulsionis themod. ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork Is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion.
 Feeding him fat in this way. which is often the only way, is half the battle, but scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

When war was immiLent the Spaniards
sent to New York their finest fighting
ship. Perhaps the object was to intimi
date US. At present there is little dan
ger OF our warning with any European
nation, but our entire miniature navy was
sent to Paris to display our lighting
strength at the recent exposition there.
The boats had to be packed very care
fully and very carefully handled en- route.
But no one in Paris had had experience
handling navy so small, and the indi-
viduals who did the packing for the re-
turn voyage must have thought they were
handling men-Of-war that could with
stand the force of powder and shot. In
consequence. the fleet was in terrible
plight when it reached America. 1t was
only with diligent effort that it could be
made presentable for the Pan-American
Exposition. The Maine looked like it had
followed in the fortune of its namesake.
BY the time the boats are ready to go to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition the
st. Louis will be ready to go with them
to that city.

One OF the recent improvements in de-
velopment is u llght-tight metal box for
the development OF cartridge films. The
film with its paper backing is placed in
side OF the box in much the same manner
that a film is inserted in a camera. The
film is covered by closing the box and
then unwound, the paper back stripped,
and the film soaked for a short time in
water. The water is then sphoned off
and developer poured in and the film de-
veloped by time method; the developer
is then siphoned off and the fixing solu-
ton poured in, and when fixed sufficiently
the box can be placed under a spgot and
washing completed without removing the
film from the box.
This invention will prove great con-
venience to those who use films and do
not have the opportunity or the inclina-
tion to use a dark room, but the most in
terestng feature OF picture making. the
pleasure of watching the development of
the negative, will be entirely lost.
From Mr.. John Hassal. an English
rnphy may be used to advantage and
profit in the making of posters. Mr.. Has
sal should know that photography has
long been used TO some extent in this
country in the preparation of novelties
in advertising. although its use for com
plete posters may never seem desirable.
1t is claimed by this artist that there
is a reaction in poster making in favor
OF black and white work. on account of
the expense of color work, and for this
reason the use of the camera in poster
work is strongly recommended.
AS one of the abuses of photography it
is stated that in the short space of two
weeks over 800 Photographic counterfeits

Mr.. Mattison witnessed and made mega

Among the slides of the Minneapolis

A recent editorial in one of the lead
ing New York Sunday papers mentions an
exhibition of pictorial photography"
composed of the work of some thirty per-
sons classcd as photo-secessionists, and
refers to these persons as having seeded
from the ranks of amateurs for the rea
son that they claim higher artistic feel
ing for their work. The statement is also
made that these secessionists claim that
their work is only slightly removed from
the work of the painter, but that the
artist-painters class them as pretenders.

to be an easy mark. as they are by far
the simplest form OF bank notes in COM
mon use.
This calls to mind The recent notice OF
the arrest of gang of counterfeiters who
were making Photographic reproductions
OF United States Treasury notes. 1t was
stated that the counterfeits were printed
on ''solio or album paper" (probably al
bumen paper WAS intended). If the coun-
terfeits were made as described, ANA ac-
tually put in circulation, it would be in

A review of the criticism of the San
Francisco Salon for 1902, which has re-
Gently closed, shows that it is the opinion
of the critics that the hanging of $50 pie
lures was mistake and that an exhibit
ton of so many pictures could net be

properly examined. and that the standard
of the exhibition would have been i'm
proved if the wedding out of mediocre
work had been rigidiy adhered to-
Another complaint CT the critics is that
too many small pictures were hung, and
the suggestion is made that a picture II
by II is the minimum size that should
be admitted to large exhibitions This ad-
vice is all very well for the man with a
large bank account. and also a good thing
for the stock dealer. but many will cling
to the idea that it is unwise to Judge a
picture by the amount of wall space that
it covers. or the color of the printing me-
diun used.
Aside from the further adverse criti-
cism that many of the pictures were
mounted or framed in distracting man
ner. all of the critics agree that the last
salon shows a decided Improvement over
the salon OF 1901. and that the work of
the photographers of the Pacific slope
was fully equal to that from the Eastern
States. and that it compared favorably
with the work of the invited exhibitors
from abroad.
