The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1903-04-12
settled the Jonah question.

Frank Talmage, son of the famous
e. De Witt Talmage, is more satisfied
today than he was two months ago.
Frank is clergyman and, like all
preachers, must answer at least once
in his life certain stock questions.
Among these questions are the ttevolu-
ton of man.. eternal fire" and so
nah's whale"
The question, propounded at a liter
airy society composed OF embryo ora
tors and statesmen, was as follows:
Mr.. Talmage, do you believe that the
whale swallowed Jonah?" Without a
moments hesitation Mr.. Talmage said:
What proof you have have. Why
the same facts should make me believe
and you disbelieve cannot say. In
order to come to a decision let me say
that the whale did swallow Jonah. for
Jonah was preacher, and the whale
has been spouting ever since"

MOVING PICTURE TRICKS.
How the Biograph Is Made to show
Seemingly Impossible Things.


The biograph, having depicted most
things in the world of fact, has now
found new realms to conquer in fiction.
1t has become a juggler, or, as 1t
might prefer to call itself, an 'illusion-
ist," and the uncanny feats it performs
will soon put its moro human competi-
tors to shame.
1t commenced its performances by
showing on the white screen two men
Sc. ted at small table. They seem to
be carrying on an excited conversation,
but after some discussion agree to
make wager on the cause of the dis
pute Then each takes from his waist
coat pocket a tiny doll dressed like Il
boxer ready for Il championship match.
The dolls are placed on the table, i'm
media tely come to life and commence
sparring in the most scientific manner
The two Gullivers applaud the lillipu-
tan pugilists as they fight vigorously
in a space that might be covered with
a dinner plate, and when at last five
grain glove inhicts the knockout"
blow on a head that is smaller than an
early green pea the COnquerOr and the
conquered are picked up and ignomini-
ously replaced in the waistcoat pockets
Of their owners.
This clever effect, the manager Of
the biograph company explained, is CO.
tanned by superimposing two films
which are exposed separately. First
the two men seated at the table act
their part of the performance in front
of the camera, and then another bio
graph photograph is taken of a boxing
match, and the two rolls of films are
then skillfully placed together. The
difference in the size of the boxers and
the onlookers is accounted for by the
fact that the latter are placed much
nearer to the camera than the former.
But even more startling illusions
than this can be produced. For in
stance, the biograph throws upon the
screen a picture Of a headless man
standing by huge egg, from which
one might expect a healthy young
rooster to emerge. The decapitated
man cracks the egg with a mallet and
discloses his missing head inside.
The face smiles recognition and al
lows the hands to take a few hundred
ordinary sized eggs from its mouth,
for no particular reason except to
show that 1t is capable Of further mira
cles. Then it looks longingly toward
the neck and shoulders from which it
has been exiled and is finally lifted into
Its place. The complete man then bows
to the audience and disappears. It
spoils good Illusion to describe too
fully its inner mysteries, but 1t may
be limited that this effect Is obtained
by the judicious use of black velvet
curtains. Black velvet, in fact, is the
material from which the modern bio
graph magician shapes his invisible
cloak" and the garment is quite as eff
fective as the one the prince In An
dersen's fairy tale wore when he set
out to discover the wicked doing of the
Mail.

Cost OF Mapmakfnr.

One disadvantage Of country of
large territory is that 1t renders map
making expensive. England, with its
small area. has been mapped on scale
OF SIX inches to the mile, large enough
20 show every house. The mapping
cost nearly $500 square mile, or about
twenty times as much as this country
expends for mapping its territory on q
smaller scale. yet the appropriations
Tor this purpose are 80 large that one
senator has described the geological
survey, which makes the inland maps.

Experience of Drowning.


We have not for considerable time
read anything more dramatic and life
like than the paper read by DIR. Low
son on this topic. Death by drowning
has usually been described as a pain
less and even pleasant one, but DIR.
Lowson is able to contradict this. In
the early stage the most striking thing
was intense, intolerabIe pain in the
chest 1t seemed as If one were in a
wise which was gradually being screw
ed up tight until it felt as If the ster-
mum and spinal column must break"
At this point the author had time to re-
feet on how far wrong his old teacher,
Sir Henry Littlejohn, had been when
describing death by drowning as being
as pleasant as failing about in beauti-
ful green fields In summer" Gradual
", however, after several abortiye,
gulping efforts to inspire, as the car
bonic acid In the blood began to in
crease, the pain began to lessen, and
the mental condition became that of
one in pleasant dream, and, like
vivid dream. the author still retains
memory OF the clearness with which
his view Of the native .shills at home''
flashed across his mind. Before con-
seriousness disappeared the sensations
were positively pleasant. DR.. Lowson
does not think that while consciousness
lasts 1t is possible for any water to en-
ter the trachea or lungs. though a good
deal is swallowed. = London Medical

HATS FOR SPRING.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence.
New York. April G-Without wishing
to draw comparisons, which Mrs. Part
ington says are odOrOus, | think it Is
safe to remark upon the real poetic
appearance of the new hats. They are
not altogether bits of lace, ribbon and
other Materials as they have been. but
these materials. simple in themselves,
have been trained by genius into some
thing more than n Fat usually stands
for. Flowers, where they are used, are
put on the hat not so much to decorate
it as to express some meaning, and
thus there is new spirit in the spring
millinery, that of poetry and grace.

velvet and Shirrings of soft silk NOUS
selines, form the foundations, while
tulle, lace, aigrets, plumes and bios
SONS without number form the bodies
of the hats. The crowns are wide and
mostly rather fat while the brims are
everything that mind can conceive.
One lovely and poetic hat was as fat
as a pancake and made Of row after
row of tender green chiffon folds. The

MOODY TO RESIGN.
Secretary of Navy, 1t Is Reported, Viii
Retire from the Cabinet.

Washington, September "a state
ment was made in Washington this
evening. coming from an apparently
authoritative source that Mr. Moody.
secretary Of the navy seriously con-
templates retiring from the cabinet,
and that his return to Washington in
tie next ten days is preparatory TO
suct action. The aamiEietratiOn Of Mr..
Moody has not been as successful as it
might, it is reported, nor has it had
the full approval Of the President, al
though Mr.. Moody has ever been ready
TO follow any suggestion made by the
chief executive as TO the management
of the navy.
His health has not been good since
TIE serious fall he had when thrown
from a carriage at Annapolis several
months ago, and this will be given as
the reason for his retirement from the
cabinet. Friends Of Lieut.. Peary say
that the opposition of the secretary to
the Arctic expedition was uncompro-
missing and that he came into open con-
flict with Mr. Darling, the assistant
secretary.

FARMERS SEEK CHEAP LAND.
Illinois Men Disregard the Advice of

to visit the capitol building They
were en- route to visit the cheap lands
Of Arkansas. They reported for their
was very uneven and that the best OF
il would require two to three weeks
CT continuous dry hot weather TO ma

If there is one thing more than an
other which causes a northern Illi-
nois farmer to be contented with his
environment and satisfied with his
home opportunities it is for him to
make a trip through southeastern Mis-.
souri, and Arkansas. OF course some
OF them are investing their spare
cash in cheap land outside of Illinois,
but the wise ones are staying by the
Illinois homestead and improving and
enlar9ing its domains
"Uncle Dick" Oglesby scarcely made
