Our friend. Felix Dolen. who

Our friend, Felix Dolen, who
has just returned from an ex-
tended trip of inspection in
Colorado, was a caller today,
and gave us a vivid and very
interesting history of what he
saw and heard in that wonder
land. He related a leap a horse
made at Central City, on the
mountain side, where he had
been driven to a buggy and tied
up to a post, and became alarm
ed, broke loose, and ran away !,
and not being able to govern
his action on the side hill, had
to jump, passing over housetop
below, knocking off the CHM
ney, and falling far below, en-
tirely demolishing the buggy,
but not killing the horse.
He says vegetation is wonder
full, and where water can be
had, it isremarkable to note the
size of cabbage, potatoes, &C.,
and even with his known char
acter for truth, he fears to tell
the size and quantity of such
products in that country.
He did not buy land, but was
we'll pleased with his trip.

A WONDERFUL CAMERA.
The Most Remarkable Panoramic
Picture Taker Ever Invented.

/
| William J. Johnson of St Louis is
the inventor of Photographic wonder,
q panoramic camera, constructed on
| lines radically different from any 9th
er camera ever invented or manufac-
| tured, being a revolving camera con-
| tanning a relatively stationary lens and
a relatively moving film. the latter
moving past a vertical slot, through
| which the exposure is made, and the
| axis of the camera being at any de-
sirable point between the lens and the
film. In other words, it works Just
TO the opposite of the focal plane shut
ter, which carries an exposure of light
across the plate or film. In this new
camera the film passes across the mar
row slot through which the light is
admitted
With a camera 8 by IL by IL inches
in size and weighing only eighteen
pounds one can with one exposure
make a negative 12l5 feet long by 10
inches high, completing q circle Of view
equally sharp from end to end. The
camera is fitted with convertible lens
of three fOci. as follows; The front lens
Of twentyfour. the back of eighteen
and the two combined Of ten and sew
en-eighths inches. In confined situa-
tiOns, where the longest focus cannot
be used. a change can be made at once
TO either of the others. The latitude in
the size of negatives which can be
made is great, as the length depends
entirely upon the focus of the lens
used and the width of the angle photo
graphed; the longer the focus the long
er the negative, and likewise the wider
the angle the longer the negative
The negatives produced by this cam
era range in size from by inches.
the Brownie size, to 1919 feet long by
10 inches high, one just as good as the
other. Think for moment that when
you have made a negative 1912 feet
long you have made a complete circle
of scenery covering $50 degrees. You
can set the revolution Of the camera to
stop at any desired point of the circle
less than the maximum, there being a
scale on the tripod which shows at a
glance where TO stop the camera to
make a negative of any desired length.
This also shows how much Of the film
has been exposed.
The films vary from six to ten inches
wide and come in two lengths of ten
and twenty feet respectively. These
films are put up the same as the film
for an ordinary kodak, on spools, and
can be loaded in daylight.

COMPANY A WILL CAMP
AT SPRINGFIELD AS USUAL
Col. kittiIsen Says There is No Pos

Company A will camp this year, as
in years past, on the Camp Lincoln
grounds at Springfield The boys will
have their camp life during the month
OF July. The idea Of going anywhere
other than TO Springfield is given up.
a general impression has prevailed
that the companies of the 9th might
go to Fort Sheridan this year, or that
they might even be taken south to
Kentucky, where they could pitch their
tents and lie mid the blue grass
of a famous old state. where there is
plenty of good water for the horses
and cattle. and TO wash in.
Col. KittilsOn. commanding the 9th
regiment, says positively that there is
no possibility of the regiment going TO
either OF these two places; that the
boys will get their camp drill as usual
in the capital city.

Some Greet Oddities.

Ben Greet. whose company of play

ternoon and evening. stands as the
foremost champion OF the non-starring
system. To his mind the play is IL
deed the thing, and he has all his life
fought the starring system, tooth and
nail. His ideal of a company is one
modelled after the fashion of the best
German stock companies, where an &C
tor may play Hamlet one night, and a
mere sailor or soldier the next. Ev-
erybody playing all sorts of parts is the
ideal of the Greet system of manage
ment. and il is one which he carries
into effect. for he is a man who has the
