TOT years prominent republican lesss.
70 virginia, Such a position in this
roek-ribbed democratic state natursIIv
gave him notoriety.
During President Grants adninistrs-
uon he was given the place of consular
agent 70 Zanzibar, South Africa as .
silsnt recognition. Of services be rem
dered to the party.
II the idea was to commit him m oh.
seurity by sending him To that far-oF
station, the state department reekoned
without its man. He had not been there
very long before he came prominently
before the public. A man Of some
means, he set up an establishment with
his family that was considerably above
those maintained by the native officials.
no matter how high their rank. The
Judge insisted on the observance of Of
nelal etiquette and the amenities Of dip
lOmatic life.
Inc manners Of the natives were very
primitive, and their customs grated
upon the finer feelings Of the Judge and
his family. 1t was the habit of the
queen Of Zanzibar and her court 70 take
her daily bath in the waters immediate
~ in front Of the United States consul
late. The dusky monarch was not
trammeled by any restrictions as to bath
ing costume, and the appearance of her
and her attendants with no suggestion
OF a bathing suit shocked the United
States representative, who warned them
to desist from the habit. He accom-
panied the warning with threat II they
persisted in bathing in this style he
would drive them out Of the water with 4
gun.
The queen refused to regard the
threat seriously, and the next day she
and her suite assembled at the usual
place and prepared to battle. The Judge
wasted no words, but took his gun,
which he had charged with salt and pep
per, and fired into the crowd. The queen
received most Of the singing charge,
and there was a tremendous connection.
The incident was reported to Washing
ton, and the Judge recalled. He has lived
most Of the time since In Washington,
and has always delighted in relating his
experiences as the representative Of
the United States in far-oif Zanzibar.

GERM PHOTOS THE LATEST
Art Of Taking Pictures OF Microbes
Is Simpler Than Night Be
Supposed.

The latest accomplishment Of
science is the photOgraphIng OF living
disease germs. Given the complicated
machinery and processes required 10
get the negative films for any set Of
Iiie-motiOn pictures, the method OF se-
curing the films for germ life Is sim
pier than might be supposed. The liv-
ing germs to be pictured are put on q
lantern slide in blood or water or
other suitable medium and projected
on a screen, just as they might be by
physician giving a lecture and show
ing TO the class the actual live germs
ana their habits. Alongside of the
lantern is placed the machine for get
ting the negative films Of the Iife-mo-
uon pictures, and II is operated-tak-
ing pictures Of the projection on the
screen at the rate of about 80 a sec
ond-as by the ordinary method. The
lantern, as usually operated, magnifes
the germ and whatever else the slide
contains about 100000 times. The
negative film machine magnifes the
Image on the screen about three times.
the resulting total magniication be-
ing 100000. Once the film Strip is
obtained in this way it may be used
In the ordinary life-motion picture
machine again and again. Magnifed to
the extent named the germs Of dis
eases which have been isolated and
Identified are readily observable. They
are seen being born, moving about
growing, giving birth to other germs,
and dying, Just as they do in real life
The machine may be run fast or slow,
or stopped at any picture, or it may
be set back for a close or more de-
tailed study Of something which has
already been observed.

MYSTIC WREATH EXPLAINED
Tribute to Queen Victoria at Her
Death Was Sent by Much
Admired Singer.

At the time Of Queen Victoria's fu-
neral there was much comment in the
newspapers about a mysterious wreath
laid upon the coffin. 1t was one of the
finest there, but bore only the words,
o, Rest in the Lord" No name was
attached, and there was a great deal of
speculation as to who had sent it. It
has now been revealed that the wreath
was placed there by Queen Alexandra
on behalf Of Miss Ada CrOssley, the IA
nous Australian contralto She was
often commanded" to Windsor castle
by Queen Victoria, who greatly admired
her singing. Once she happened to
choose her majesty's favorite song, 20,
Rest in the Lord" The queen wept
bitterly and explained that she could
never hear that song without thinking
If her dead husband. the prince consort,
who also had loved it dearly. This was
the reason why Miss Crossley sent the
wreath.

SARATOGA PLEAsEs WOMEN
Famous New York Resort Gives Tenn
porary Freedom to the
Fair Sex.

''The lady at Saratoga gets more out
II her visit than does the gentleman
who takes her there" says Charles E.
Trevathan, in Everybody's Magazine
She may do with impunity in Sarato-
"a those things which she may not ap-
oroach even in thought elsewhere, and
Il is perhaps because Of this temporary
freedom that she loves her Saratoga as
she loves no other resort II is the one
environment through which she may
move along If she like, the one acre Of
pleasure-making where the escort is not
necessary to her pursuit of laughter
She may 90 through the drives alone
In the forenoon, and she may stroll
about the race course in the afternoon
alone; she may dine alone and wine
alone; she may sit out the concerts in
the evening or watch the moonlight on
the verandas alone, and there will scarce
be comment upon her actions. She may.
without fear, go alone anywhere and
everywhere in the town that a man can
90. And this is a privilege Of which she
does not avail herself. She merely gets
q keen sort Of relish in the idea that she
could an she would There is more fun
to be had with somebody along and
the lady of Saratoga is rarely a person
