OF THE KODAK DEVELOPING MA CHlNE.-NEw INVENTION TO BE SHOWN AT P, M. CAssEDY's. The newest thing in photography, development of films in broad daylight, will be shown in P. NJ. Cassedy's store, Saturday, from to 6 p. m. The scheme has been talked over and writ ten about for several months, but the local amateurs have never yet had a chance to witness the actual process. | It seems simple thing, done by | means of an apparatus little bigger than the average camera, and, as in all epOch-marking inventions, the only wonder is that no one thought of it before. Cameras have been improved from year to year, and the making of pictures has been simplified to point which brought thousands of recruits to the ranks, but the darkroom has ever been a drawback. Now comes along a machine that not only does away with the darkroom but gives better results than the average am- ateur can secure in the darkroom. A fter you take your cartridge of eX- posed film out of the Kodak you put | it into the machine in much the same way that you originally put 1t into the kodak. You pour in the developer and turn a handle-its all very easy after once you have seen it done-and the results are astonishingly good. A demonstration of the working of the machine will be gwen tomorrow after noon at P. M. Cassedy's, Postoffice building.
 FRANK ERwIN's BARN BURNED.
 The barn belonging to Frank Erwin was struck by lightning oh Saturday last and burned to the ground. The loss is a severe one to MT Erwin, as the building contained all his hay and grain, together with most of his farm ing implements. He succeeded with much difficulty in saving his horses, wagon and harnesses, but the fire spread so rapidly that there was no chance of doing more, and the impro- vised fire company, consisting Of neigh bors and friends, could do little except to keep the flames from the roof of the dwelling house. which was at one time seriously threatened. Only small | part of the loss is covered by insurance, and the greatest sympa thy is expressed | on all sides for MT Erwin, who has al- ways been the kindeSt of neighbors l and the most helpful of friends.
