Many Difficulties.

Some If the difficulties which attend
the photography of living fish l realized
In making an instantaneous exposure upon
the North End Aquarium. containing 450
rainbow trout in motion. Necessarily
some of the number were out of focus.
The lower ones show but little detail.
owing to being in the shadow caused by
the great mass of fish above, while others
are indistinct from lateral shadow.
AT the best. the light at the time of
exposure was not the kind to ensure the
most perfect success. Nevertheless. this
result Is very interesting, and probably
not many photographs extant. if any. show
so many examples of swimming fish upon
one plate"

Some fish change their color almost
instantaneously. according to their
humor. a desire to pass 'unnoticed, or
other reasons. The eyes of the sea bass
are as beautiful as emeraids.'
These are two interesting facts, among
others equally curious. that were gath
cred by Capt r. w. Shufeldt. while en-
gagged in the comparatively novel work
of photographing fish in their native ele-
ment. The experiments were made at
the aquaria of the Fish Commission. 's
In Their Natural Element.
There are a number of methods"
states the captain. by means of which
fish may be photographed in their natural
element. with natural surroundings. Fo.
example. it is possible to accomplish 1t
beneath the surface OF the water by the
use of some such. contrivance as the sub
aquatic camera, used by Dr. J. E. Rom
borsts. or that of NJ Benton, or the ap-
paratus of Regnard
BY the employment of instantaneous
photography some fishes have been taken
in the air-in the act of 1eaping, as in
the case of salmon; or in the act of
flight, as in the case of fying-fsh.
The First Exposure.
''The first exposure was made upon a
large pike. The picture was fairly good,
and on comparing it with the figure OF
this species in The Fisheries and Fishery
Industries of the United States it was
to be observed that in the living fish the
pectoral fins are extended almost directly
downward. and further, that the ex-
tremities of the forks of the tail are dis
tinctly rounded and not acute, as in the
drawing mentioned. In fact, the tail in
the latter is incorrect in outline, and
there are still other differences to be OBJ
served upon comparing the two.
This is where the great value of the
camera is demonstrated. In time, with
suitable objects. taken under the most
favorable conditions. pictures of fish,
produced by half-toning processes from
faultiess photographs, will surely super
sede in biological literature the often
inaccurate figures that are now used as
illustrations This is what we strive to
accomplish in such efforts.

After the hour of vespers on Saturday
evening in all the Catholic Churches the
crucifixes. sacred pictures. and images of

candelabra were draped as we'll, so that
yesterday the affairs presented a sombre,
funereal aspect. Lent now approaches it's
elimination, its most solemn period, the
Passion of our Lord. and Passion Sun
day, with the cross and other symbols
hidden from view, emphasizes that fact in
a striking manner.

Passion week serves as an Introduction

Regulating Sale of Paddles.

1t was decided that no articles are to
be disposed of by the sale of paddles
except at the officially designated stands.
This rule will not apply during the last
three nights of the fair. when the most
satisfactory means will be adopted to
dispose of whatever has not been prev
iously sold.
BY special request the auction sale of the
first season ticket Issued was postponed
until next Saturday night. 1t was stated
that one gentleman, whose name was
withheld. had signified his intention Of
bidding the ticket up to $40 IL the sale
was postponed. and others had expressed
the opinion that if the sale was only
generally known of that the ticket would
probably bring much larger figure.
While the bidding will be on this ticket
alone. the purchaser will receive the first
five tickets OF the Issue, numbered from
1 to 5. inclusive

Caught in Vertical Position.

THE tantoy, medium-size specimen,
photographed while it was resting in a
vertical position upon the side of little
mound of sand and very close to the sur
face of the glass. These fish exhibit in
confinement, all their natural traits, and
in the aquarium some will be seen swim
ming about not far above the bottom
others will be lying upon their sides, and
still others attempting to secrete them
selves beneath the rocks. while occasion

batting each other.
This consists in two fish coming at each
other face to face, opening their mouths,
and the one bringing his teeth in contact
with those OF his antagonist. Each at
tempts to force the other backward or,
if one be taken off guard for an instant,
an attempt to bite him.
The tantoy is peculiar fish in its
habits. and its behavior often reminds
me of that of little pigs. with some of
the movements characterized by a certain
kind Of catlike fawning. They feed vo
raciously and take with avidity their nat

THE IDEAL PHYSIQUE.
There Are Hut Few Persons Having
the Measurements of Perfect
Proportions.

"Ihe tailor VINO spends ms lie IN
taking human measurements could
probably tell an interesting story
about the decline physically of men
and women" said man who takes
deep interest in physical culture
and other processes tending to ar
rest deteriorating conditions, accord
ing to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. 81 doubt if the measurements
taken by tailors win show many per-
feet men and women. Too many
men are wearing IA collars and too
many women are short on waist
dimensions. / was glancing through
Fourman's book a few days ago, and
| was struck by the dimensions
agEeed upon by the best and most
auhentic authorities for physical
perfection in both man and woman.
Take the measurements, for instance,
of the perfectly proportioned man,
with a height of 6 feet 2Hs inches;
girth of chest, 46 inches; girth of
waist. 80 inches; length of upper leg,
17H inches; length of lower leg, 14h
inches; largest girth of thigh, 22h
inches; girth OF calf, 16 inches;
length of arm, 26 inches, and, weight,
100 pounds. Go to the tailor and ask
him how many men come up 10 this
standard. l imagine that one wouid
spend much time before finding the
perfect physical conditions in con-
junction in a single man.
"The fact of the business is, that
these proportions are the result of
idealistic theorizing. A man would
be perfect. indeed, physically, who
could even show a reasonable APP
proximation of this standard. Our
tailor's record would probably dis
appoint us badly, and we would like
ly become confirmed believers in the
doctrine of physical degeneracy in
so far as members of our sex is con-
cerned. Man has been dwindling
somewhat even in the range of ones
own memory. One need not go TO
the tailors, nor TO the vast wealth
of statistics which have been COM
piled by persons who take a pecul-
lar interest in mans physical aspect.
One IS conscious OF Delnk SlhdAAch
than ones father, and less robust,
and lacking in that hardness of tenn
permanent found in the sire and the
grandsire. Yet the tailor's record
will probably show a few isolated in
stances where men have preserved
the proportions found in the physi-
cal measurements Of the perfect man.
And this. after all, is the goal to-
ward which physical culture Is drift
ing. IL is not so much a question
of larger men in stature, but rather
a question of men more perfectly bal
anced physically-men whose parts
Will approximate at least the equi-
librium found in the perfect meas
urements Of the physical culture doc
trinaire. If one must weigh 40
pounds. and stand up 10 a height Of
over six feet. ore might as well give
up on the start. But one may az least
approximate the ideal proportions.
and this is what physical culture pro-
poses TO do"

The arrest and conviction of a

may prove Of incalculable benefit
to this country in future years.
Conditions are more or less chaotic
in all parts of the Indian Territory
and to make an example OF man
who seeks TO debauch the ballo'

years. The man VINO sells bis
vote is unworthy of the privilege,
and the man who purchases it is
also criminal in slightly different
degree. Upon the purity of the
ballot rests the institutions OF our
government. and the man who
thus corrupts it. is a revolutionist
and a menace to society. Such
characters ought to be hunted out
and prosecuted to the extent of
the law.

{ sWORKINC"' THE MINERS
Instructions Given the Temple
Company's Docking Boss
Stealing From the Men.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 12.-The calling of
witnesses for the miners was resumed
when the morning session of tho strike
commission opened. Edward Ridgeway
formerly company docking boss in the
employ of the Temple Coal and Iron COM
pany, said he was e member of the union
and did not know i: was contrary to the
rules for company docking boss to be-
long to the union. Nine years ago he
was told by the mine foreman that he
must dock certain percentage, no mat
ter whether the coal was clean or full OF
dirt. This percentage ranged from S to
s per cent. After the union had a check
docking ooss appointed the percentage fell
to 1.97 per cent. ~
John McGlone, a check weighman for
the union, gave figures which showed that
the men at the No 5 colliery of the Penn
syIvania Coal company mined 1913 more
tons of coal from April, 1901, to April,
1902 than they had been paid for. He
explained this by saying there was more
than 2,240 pounds of clean coal In the
miners ton Of 400 pounds. He gave fig
ures to show that the average monthly
wages of the miners labOrer was $2772
and the miners wages ,s34.77. The accu-
racy of his figures was questioned by the
companys attorney.

THE FIRE TRAP HOTELS
The Arrests of Owners and Mana
gers in Chicago Are
Threatened.
Jew York Sun SDecia1 Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 12.-Arrests Of the own
ers and managers Of alleged fire trap
hotels will begin soon, if the building de-
partment makes good it's threats. Acting
Commissioner O'Shea said he had a list
of names of hotel men for whom warrants
would be issued unless work on the alter
ations ordered Tuesday and Wednesday
had begun when his inspectors called. -.
The plan Of arresting the owners and
proprietors, instead of closing their places
was agreed upon to-day. One day will be
given in which to make arrangements to
obey the orders Of the department.. If
the Inspector finds nothing done when. he
calls the second day after the notice has
been served, warrants will be sworn OIL
for the arrest Of the owner or manager,
or both. and the next Official call will be
from the police department. Each day Of
failure. to comply with the building de-
partment's orders will be treated as a
separate offense, and cause another arrest.
according to Mr.. O'Shea.
No attempt will be made at present to
close dangerous hotels without legal pro-
cess. Threats made early in the week
to place policemen at the doors will not
be carried out. though Corporation Coun-
sci Walker still insists the building COM
missioner has the power to close dali-
derOus hotel at once. If the process OF
arresting and filming does not produce re-
suits, the places may be closed by the
police.
