SITE FOR A LIGHTHOUSE.
Where Price of Part Exceeds Value of
Whole,

One wouldn't imagine that the ledge
connected with Ram island and which
has wrecked so many vessels, would be
considered worth much money, but it is a
fact that the United States government
is going to pay about $500 for site for
its lighthouse which will be begun in the
spring. The island and the ledge go to-
gether, and away back in the early his
tory of Casco bay they were owned by a
speaking, it {Ram Island) was handed
down through succeeding generations, I'M
til now it is owned by the Robinsons-
the c. F. Robinson Paper company and by
x the Woodbury. heirs. 1 The former own
two-thirds and the latter one third of
Ram island. The whole piece of property
is valued probably in the neighborhood
OF 500, but 1t is to cost the government
$500 to get the ledge alone.
1t is likely that the entire outfit could
have been purchased as eheapIy as the
ledge, but the government has no use for
anything except a site for its new light
house, so that is all that was asked for
The government, however, is fussy about
getting clear title to what property it
buys, and this is what is responsible for
the additional expense 1t was put in the
hands of Mr.. Benjamin. F. Thompson to
trace the owners of the island back as
near as possible to the time when volcanic
action raised 1t above the surface. and this
has now been established, so that all that
remains is for the signing of the necessary
papers, which will soonlb be done, and then
the lighthouse department will actively
bestir itself with work on the new beacon

PHoToeRAPHINe A GHOST.
New Method of Working Camera Will
Produce Very Realistic Spooks.

Probably the oldest method Of taking
a spectral photograph is to expose the
plate for brief period, in the camera,
with a skeleton, or person in ghostly
apparel, some hideous monster, or even
a large bunch Of flowers as a subject,
afterWard using the same plate again
in the camera, upon the subject to be
taken, with the spectral images, and
then developing the whole plate at one
operation.
Another method of producing
spectral photographs is to make a very
same size as the plate to be used in
producing the spectral photograph
then placing the plate in the holder,
as usual, with the weak positive super
posed, and making the exposure
through the positive, thereby giving on
the negative plate, along with the per-
son, a ghostly image of any prear-
ranged subject This is a very good
way of producing a ghost picture; but
it is liable to detection if the same
weak positive is used the second time.
Another method of producing such
images is to paint in outline on the
background the figure desired, by using
a solution of quinine sulphate. The
image when dry is invisible to the eye,
but is capable of producing an image
on a sensitive plate.
In some recent experiments still an
other method of producing spectral pic
lures was discovered. 1t consists in
supporting mirror in front of the
Photographic lens, which is smaller in
diameter than the lens, so as to cause

Chicago School Boards Return to Use OF

The school board of Chicago has sub
stituted woman" for LADY in all of the
rules where the latter appeared. The
teachers-that is, the female proportion
are to be known as women hereafter.
There may be some who will object, but
the majority Will probably welcome the
change. No word in the language has
been so oyerworked as lady. Originally

altogether to rank, which confined its

When this point was reached it was no

In many instances the absence of such
qualities induces person to imagine that

ture to accustom ones self to the belief
that one has what one admireS in others
Those who never felt a wound are apt to
be formidable warriors on paper The
rapid and universal appropriation or adj
markable phenomenon. 1t is doubtful if
the use of any word has expanded so
rapidly. When every woman became a
lady it ceased to have distinct mean
ing.
To cry back to the old-time haIlowed
expression woman can scarcely be
deemed surprising; It is a generic word
and has embraced all womankind in the
minds of the English-speaking people.
Nothing unpleasant connects itself with
its use. The noblest females of all ages
have born it along with the humblest,
and the mother of mankind is particularly
distinguished by the title. Its sugges-
tions are pleasant When one thinks of
a woman it is OF her gentle qualities and,
virtues, which distinguish her from the
opposite sex True womanhood conveys

The mirror being entirely out of focus

combined images of various objects
may be made upon the same plate.
BY a little practice in the adjust
ment of the mirror and shutter, the
proportionate amount Of light for the
specter and for the subject may be
regulated. The object representing the
specter is mounted on black cloth,
preferably velvet, so that no other OBJ
ject than the specter will be represent
ed by reflection.
A screen may be placed between the
sitter and the specter, so that the de-
fusion may be made complete By fold
ing the screen over the specter when
it is not in use, the litter will be con-
cealed, so that by careful manipula-
ton the trick will not be discovered
by the sitter.

GERMANY WORKING
AGAINST UNCLE SAM
Secret Intrigues With Co.
lombia Are Revealed by
Accident.
Special to The Globe.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-The
inadverent publication today that Ger
many is seeking, directly through pri-
vate citizens, to prevent the United
States from acquiring the Panama ca
nal, opened the eyes of the admins
tration and public men here. It also
revealed intrigues and conspiracies
without number. For more than three
months suspected agencies in Colom-
bia were preventing the completion of
the treaty with the United States.
Certain peculiar and significant facts
came from diplomatic agents to adj
ministration officials. AS result a
mass of circumstances have developed
which indicated that foreign influences
were exerted upon Colombia, these
facts beginning with the refusal Of
Minister Concha to sign any treaty.
He left everything in DR.. Herran's
hands and went to New York. From
there he a. nounced he was bound for
London on account of sickness. He
went, however, to Colon with his broth
er-in-law, Gonzales Valencia, minister
to Italy, as guests of the German min
lister to Bogota. Both men are still
there. No answer has been received
to the United States final proposition
made six weeks ago.
1t is further revealed that Germany
made peremptory demand on Colon
bia for the settlement Of claims due
German citizens for the destruction of
coffee plantations and money loaned.
Similar treatment to Venezuela was
threatened.
+7 Minister Hart next furnished Secre-
tary Hay with the details of secret
negotiations whereby Colombia was to
give Germany a coaling station 1t
was next discovered that Germany in
directly tried to persuade Colombia to
wage war on Nicaragua over the Mos
quito disputed territory, Germany
furnishing the sinews. This would
give Germany territory and a choice
of either canal route. German engi-
neers inspected the routes and report
ed in favor of the Panama.
Colombia offered Berlin it's 81, 1000, 900
worth of stock in the new Panama,
company. A German Syndicate i'm
lnediately came forward and secured
al Opllon, expiring March next, for
$40,OOO,000 on Panama concessions. 1t
is believed the German government is
behind the syndicate.
Public men here tonight admitted
that the United States is placed in a
serious situation. The United States
did not object to a French syndicate
building a canal and now cannot OBJ
ject to German syndicate. Senator
Cullom, chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee, favors proceeding
Immediately under the United States

KANSAS CITY TO HAVE SHOOT.
Grand American Handicap viii Be Held
at Blue River Park

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 8.-The Grand
American Handicap shoot at inanimate
targets will be held in Kansas City April
IA to IS at Blue River shooting park, ar
engagements for the grounds having been
ccmpletet- today by Elmer E. Shannon,
secretary and manager of the Interstate
Shooting association. 1t is expected that
there, will be over 300 entries and that
the shoot will be the largest in the history
of the event.
Owing to the fact that the Grand Amer
lean handicap at live birds, formerly an
annual event, has been abolished it is
confidently expected that the interest ia
ken in the inanimate target events of the
country would be unprecedented. Shoot
efs from all parts Of the country are en-
tered and will participate. The entries
will close April l. The first two days will
be ct handicaps of twenty-five birds each,
while tn third day will be reserved for
the big event, the Grand American handi-
cap. The distance has been fixed at 100
yards. Miscellaneous target events will
be held on the fourth day. Over 81, 900
in added money will be distributed among
the winners in the different events and a
number of trophies will be awarded be-
sides. The emblem which will go to the
winner of the Grand American handicap
will probably be cup of some kind.

looking to the playing of a club in the
