4 NEW WRINKLE.

We in this country think we are up to date in all divorce matters and our Da- kota divorces are indeed widely and justly celebrated. But it appears that little Switzerland can give us and the rest of the folks points concerning di- vorces-not perhaps concerning the get ting of them, but concerning the way to behave when they have been got. The other day a Swiss judge granted de- cree os divorce to a couple who were very anxious for it. When it was pro- nounced they were so pleased that they hugged each other for joy, and after ward the ex-husband entertained his former wife and some friends at sep aration' dinner at neighboring restau- rant.
 This is pleasant and proper. "A sep aration dinner" sounds we'll. and per haps it will not. be. long before this Swiss notion finds favor in this country We need and want all that is worth having in sdivorces and divorce eti- quette, and the separation dinner seems to be worth having.

indeed: ashore and afoat, seemingly, they smoke them without number. One boards any one of the three warships
 to find the decks with ash trays to re- ceiye butts" An upright holder on each tray carries a piece of tow with a smoldering light at the end. Here the smokers can light fresh cigarettes.

nnssIAn POLICE PLANS.

The Russian police authorities are in constant trouble nowadays. They don't know what will happen next, but they plan to be ready to deal with it when 1t does happen. As an indication Of the state of nervous apprehension in which they pass their days, glance at some of the secret instructions re- gently issued by. Lieutenant-General Kleigels, the Prefect of St. Petersburg, is Illuminating. Instructions are given to the police to check or entirely sup press the tramway service, when there is any sign of movement of the popu- lation in large numbers from one part of the city to the other. The police are told to send all the tramway cars back to the central depot when there are symptoms of a demonstration. Any person walking toward the centre of the town, and gesticulating or speaking so as to attract attention, is to be ar- rested immediately. The porters of private houses are to be instructed to arrest street boys or any disorderly person or beggars who pass in front of their houses, and keep them prisoners in their yards or in any empty rooms l or shops till order has been thoroughly re-established. When any disorder oc- CUTS, all cafes, wine shops, etc., are to be closed at once. The doors of pri- lvate houses are also to be shut, and
 the house porters are to stand outside
 the doors and warn the inhabitants
 that they must not look out of open
 windows or stand on balconies. Any
 one attempting to speak to a crowd ol
 displaying any flag is at once to be
 arrested. The police, aided by tht l house porters, are to bar the ap' Iproaches to any street in which crowt
 has assembled.
 This is rather thorough scheme, ant lit will, of course, be carried out i necessary. Similar arrangements hav'
 been made in other cities.

4 GooD TIME, ANYWAY.

The last Fourth of July celebration in this country was costly and destructive. The returns are now in and it is record ed that 200 persons were killed, 5000 in- jured and there was a fire loss of $5Oo,- 900. This does not take into account the injury caused by the effect of the noise upon persons lying i'll, together with the many deaths that must have been due to the same cause when sick persons |'were in such a. critical condition that any unnecessary disturbance would turn the scale to the fatal side.
 We'll we had good time, and show
 ed our patriotism in the good old
 Chinese way. Probably we shall do the
 same next year. We might not know 1 that we were free and independent if l, we did not explode things and by ex- ploding wound, kill and burn. Perhaps
 there will come time when the most free and independent people on earth will be more civilized than to celebrate
 their freedom and independence in a | barbarous way. .4

with that advance will come increased orders to Great Britain, giving employ ment to large numbers" It is calculat-- ed, on the basis of returns from many mines, that every stamp erected at Jo- hannesburg involves purchases in Eng land to the amount of $1,7S5, and that every s spent there means one and a quarter days employment for British workman. Supplies, exclusive of ma- chinery, are to the extent of $S,14S per stamp per annum, and every s5 spent ill the production of these supplies means over half days work for a Britisher in the United Kingdom. As each work man averages four dependents the home population supported by the Rand's present requirements Is figured out to be very considerable. If the Rand's re- quirements are tripled by 1910. as some expect, the importance of South Afri- ca's large volume of trade to British in dustry will be seen to be very great.
 "This great volume of trade" says South Africa, would not have been pos sible had the old regime continued. The change to British rule has created num-
 berless connections with the old coun- try which did not formerly exist, and
 opened up a constant stream of immi- l grafton and trade. with constant ir- terchange of men and ideas--which
 cannot fail to have a most notable effect
 upon the future of the Transvaal colony
 in general and of the mining industry ! in particular

ance of the Geneva astronomer. Scheer,
 the nrobIem was solved. Both con-
 structed an apparatus with an objec- tive Is cn, in diameter ana Z'4U In' in
 focal length, the latter being reduced
 to the third part of it's value by insert
 ing two plane mirrors between the
 objective and the plate. The losses by
 reflection of these mirrors did not ex-
 ceed 5 per cent. Exposures of 10 seconds were required when yellow
 screens and orthochromatical plates were used, while without a screen ex- celIent snapshots could be taken with exposures of about 1-75th of second.
 The total length of the apparatus was only S1-2 inches.
 Vautier-Dufour is now constructing an apparatus 40 em. in length, the
 diameter of the objective being O.lo en.
 and the focal length 1.2O m. It IS hoped to obtain good instantaneous photo
 graphs with exposures raining between i-2oDth and 1-5OOtil a second. The same apparatus may be used to take ordl-
 nary photographs with an on1ecuVe 0.25 m. in focal distance. Ls....- The following advantages are claimed for this ingenious device, as compared with objeetives-greater intensity better definition, higher magnifieation,
 and an easier adjustment. AS regards the neatness of images, the views pre- sented before the members of the con gress were perfectly sharp as Tar as the 1 edges of the field of view. Twelve-fold | magnifications were obtained, without | the appartus ceasing to be portable.
 Telephotography in its new. form is likely to prove useful both for scientific
 and industrial purposes, as well as in warfare. The physicist will be able to photography any phenomenon visible at the extreme horizon, such as mlfages, Ietc., as well as those which he could Inot approach himself without danger, Isuch as for instance, volcanic eruptions' lThe naturalist may now safely observe wild animals and photograph them from a distance. The amateur astro- homer will be in a position to take splendid views of the principal heaven lily bodies. The explorer of Arctic lregions will observe, by means of the
 "Telephot,' distant and inaccessible points. Archeologists and architects will luse the apparatus to fix on the photo, lgraphic plate buildings and monuments ltoo distant to be taken with an ordinary Iapparatus. Military and naval officer!
 will be able to observe and study tht movements of the enemy (the apparatus Imay in fact be well used as a tele
 scope;) finally, all typographical meas
 urenents will highly profit by this in
 genious apparatus Scientific American

THE JOHANNESBURG MINES.

Johannesburg hasn't a Chamber of Commerce, or if it has it isn't adver- tised, but it has a Chamber of Mines
 That Chamber is pleased by the expan- sion and prospects of Johannesburg. In 1899, when 6OOo stamps were in opera tion, 30,000 persons were directly sup ported by the mining industry. Alto- gether 10000 white persons inhabited the district, apart from farmers, carri- CTS and others not closely connected with the mines. By 1907 many engineers expect that 17,00G stamps will be drop ping. But taking the more moderate estimate of 12,000, or double the number in use in" 1S99 it is estimated that some o,O0O persons will be directly maintain
 ed and some 240,000 indirectly. By 1910,
 accordingly, if the supply of labor can be maintained, Johannesburg should be easily a city of 100000 inhabitants, and a dominant force in South Africa, polit- ically as we'll as financially. What ef-
 feet" says South Africa, "a large white
 population in the Transvaal will have

Vagaries of a Vacation

I love to seek the grass so sweet,
 And watch the lambs at play, And feel mosquitoes eat my feet,
 And sniff the scented hay. l love to loaf and never reck
 Of troubles that go by, And feel the thistles scratch my neck,
 As on the turf lie. love to hear the robin chant
 And ponder, in good health,
 On the demise of that old aunt
 With such tremendous wealth. I am her favorite nephew, and
 She's promised me the, lot, Tho I would rather hold, her hand
 Than have all else she's got. I love to lie, in manner fair,
 Far in the orchard out, And feel an apple or pear
 Fall in my upturned snout. love to lie, serene and snug
 Forgetting all life's woes, And feel large potato bug
 Go creeping up my clothes. love to languish late at night T.t Upon piaZZas dim, .s.qazs .5,, And hear the blonde, in garb of white

JAPANESE SAILORS.

Australia has been agog more or less for weeks from Fremantle to Sydney over a Japanese squardon of three cruisers. under the command of Rear Admiral Kamimura. This is the first time Japanese admiral has flown his flag in Australian waters, which lends somewhat to the fuss and feathers
 anent the trio of trim and rather grim looking men of war now lying tandem
 fashion off Wooloomooloo Bay, in this
 beautiful harbor. The squardon is on
 tour of the Southern hemisphere pri- marily for the training of a. large num-
 Der of middies on board, who, when they have passed their examinations. will
 receive commissions in the Mikado's sea service. The vessels have rather difficult names to negotiate, though they are not hard when once Jap shows one how. 4These names are, respectively, Hashidate, Matsushirna, and Itsukushi- ma. os course, the crimson sun flag is welcomed because of the political fact 1 of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and the cities and high society of the com
 monwealth have been vieing with each other in doing the clever little Asiatics all the honors possible. |, +...sgta | I had the fortune to see the tackles
 and the middies ashore at Adelaide,
 and also beheld about 600 of the blue-
 jackets parade there, headed by the
 Hashidate's band In spite of ones self, though one knows that these little fel-
 lows have fought and can fight splendi-
 dly. one cannot forbear smiling at the
 diminutive yellow men sauntering child-like about the streets, their moon- like faces and their slanting eyes made
 the more odd looking by the long black
 ribbons from their sailor caps. They
 cannot be outdone by Cubans or other
 Latin peoples as cigarette smokers. No,
