Developing the Negative.
The development of the negative is
something that should be well under

work requiring such care and accuracy.
The greatest value Of these photo
graphs OF snowiakes is in the produc-
ton Of negatives suitable for lantern
slides. AS has been stated before. the
variety is beyond human calculation TO
comprehend, and the beauty of the snow

medium Of stereopticon to such

The worn-out stomach of the over

the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample of the evils attendant on the
of great wealth.. But mil
lionaires are not the only ones who
are afflicted with bad stomachs. The
proportion is far greater among the
toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion
are rampant among these people, and
they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which
has been a favorlteh ousehol dremedy
for all stomach troubles for over
thirty-five years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating

STEAMERS CRASH IN FOG.
Ferry Boats Come Togsrher in San
 Francisco Bay.

San Francisco, Oct. 17.-Endangering the lives of thousands Of passengers. the Southern Pacific ferry steamer Newark crashed into the ferry steamer Oakla nd. in the middle of the bay during a dfnse fog today. The Newark struck the Oak land aft the paddle box. tearing a hole in her side. but fortunately did not dam age her machinery. The Newark came out of the wreck with her rails carried away at the bows.
 Owing to the intense fog on the bay, the boats were doing double service. the crowd on each steamer being double in consequence.
 As the Oakland rocked on the water after the crash the crowd on the decks rushed back and forth in a fury of fright Women fell fainting or went into hys- terics on the injured steamer On the upper deck several women rushed to the rail to lear overheard. but were held back by the men. Despite the fog, so dense the pilots could scarcely see the flag poles, both boats finally reached the slips on this side of the bay
