ImPro0ed KinetoScobe.

An invention that marks a wonder
full development in the art Of taking
and reproducing cinematograph pic
lures has just been made by an Eng
lishman.
1t applies the principles OF the stere-
oscope to the cinematograph 50 that
moving figures thrown upon a screen
do not appear fiat and bOdyless, but
stand out with a depth and fullness
that makes them look exceedingly life
like.
This is the first time that the stereo-
scOpic effect has ever been brought out
in cinematograph pictures. The discov-
erer tried it in a barnyard scene and
the figures came out so lifelike that one
could hardly help feeling that 1t was
real.
The inventor expects soon to have
stereoscopic pictures in colOrs, and then
ne will be able to furnish paintings
while you wait" that become realism
itself.
This invention, which promises to rev.
OlutiOnze art, is. according to the In
ventor, the discovery OF a new law Of
nature not previously known and hav
ing relation to the relative sympathy
that exists between the physical and
mental.

Tender Conscience.

The tender conscience of a young

sary legal permit to become husband

1T was just after 1 had opened the
Office. A young girl. with raven black
hair, a beautiful pair of eyes and a

the eyes of an artist glisten with ap-

woman could take out a license. 1 told

4 Popular Judge.

The popularity of the late Police
Judge Campbell among the masses
was largely due to the fact that he
allowed common sense to sway him
i'm his judgments. Many time an
attorney would asseverate: But your
Honor, the Supreme Court has decid-
ed That would be as far as he
would get, as the Judge would inter-
rupt him with: Il overrule the Su-
preme Court"
The Judge was fond of seeing
scrap, and one that gave him unmixed
Joy happened in his own courtroom.
The reporter of a morning paper and
the clerk in the Judges court would
occasionally pass uncomplimentary
remarks about one another and the
Judge, who disliked the clerk, told
the reporter not to stand any of the
clerks nonsense. One day the re-
porter asked the clerk TO let him ex-
anime a complaint that had been
sworn to. The clerk refused in an
offensive manner and the reporter
slapped him on the face. The clerk
jumped to his feet and in an instant
he and the reporter were mixing
things up.
Amidst the din in the courtroom the
Judges voice was heard: The court
will take "a recess for ten minutes"
He left the bench, warning the bai-
lift not to interfere, and watched the
scrap with the keenest delight. Fin
ally the reporter landed a straight
right on the clerks jaw and knocked
him out. The clerk was led out Of
tho courtroom the Judge resumed his
seat on the bench and the business
was continued as if nothing had hap
pened.

In construction a considerable amount
of wood is used as supports and cross

in regard to Morocco, which has
been agreed upon by France, Great
