PHOTOGRAPHERS PARADISE
City of Mexico Affords Unrivaled Op-
Portunities for Taking
Snap Shots.

It is often a cause for establishment to
travellers in Mexico city on receiving
from the man who develops the finished
product OF their work, to see the wonder
ful distinctness with which the subject
is brought out. In nine cases out of ten
the good effect is attributed merely to
good luck" but the men in this city,
says the Mexican Herald, who make
Photographic work their business know
it is no element of luck, but the peculiar
conditions that are found here and at
few other cities in the world They
could tell the amateur that when he
gets back to St. Louis, or-Chicago, or
New York, or whatever big city he came
from, that he will produce just as poor
pictures there as he always did and as
he was accustomed to before he came to
this city.
Photographs made by two or three OF
the artists in this city are gaining for
the men regulations as great as that en-
joyed by some of the famous artists of
New York. Their work is good and prob
ably in New York they would afford
strong competition to some OF the artists
of that city. but they knew the secret of
the work here and are willing to admit
that part of their success in Mexico
city is due to the conditions.
1t is the altitude that is directly re-
sponsible for the general improvement
In photographs taken here. The altitude
in itself, has little to do with it, but the
altitude causes rar1hed atmosphere
and the thin air causes, to a great extent,
the clear white sunshine peculiar to this
district. The fact that the city is COM
paratively free from the smoke-]ike pail
that hangs over the cities of the north is
due largely to the comparative absence
OF smoke-producing furnaces of any de-
scrlptlon, but what smoke there is is not
held in suspension in the rare air of
Mexico city, as it is in those cities nearer
the level of the sea.
In the heavy atmosphere of the north
ern cities every ray Of light that extends
from the object to the sensitive film in
the camera must struggle through mil
lion particles of carbon that hang con-
stantly in the air. Each of these par
ticles has a certain DETECTING power, and
here it is only an artist who can pro-
duce picture in which there is not dis
torted detail. The sunlight with which
| the photographer there has to work is
of yellower cast than here. It is not
the clear, brilliant type that has won
for this place the name of the city ct
white sunshine.

Satisfied with His Spelling.

In Chicago there was once politi-
clan whose education was somewhat
defective, and who was not "born
speller.' He became prominent, and
his correspondence, therefore, had a
certain Importance. One day a par
ticular friend came to see him, and
said: 'LCok here, William, you must
have secretary to write your letters.
and never undertake to write any
yourself"
"Why?" asked the public man.
Because people are laughing at
your letters, and they will do you
harm
why do they laugh at them?" in

Because you make so many mis-
takes in spelling.'
Mistakes in spelling!' exclaimed
the great man. Nonsense! | read my

THE DIRIClBLE TORPEDO.
Deadly Instrument of War That Is
Dependent Upon the
Weather.

An invention which, if the weather
be in its favor, is extremely deadly is
the dirigible torpedo, controlled by
wireless electricity from ship or shore
says a writer in Everybody's. 1t is
merely the ordinary torpedo loaded
with its big charge of gun-cotton and
firing pin in the head to explode the
torpedo when it strikes, fitted with
double rudders, one of horizontal
blade to steer up or down, one of YER
tical to steer right or left; storage
battery for ordinary use and propul-
sion, wireless current transmute1
and motor for dirigible propulsion and
an elevated tube to discharge small
jet of sea water forced through it by
an electrical pump.
An observer completely sheltered be-
hind earthworks could send out such
a torpedo from shore, make it 20 miles
out to sea, wait for battleship of the
enemy. swim around it, dive under it
and with certainty ram its armored
bottom with the firing-pin head. One
such station could defend the Sandy
Hook entrance to New York harbor if
the weather were always good.
The Herreshoffs, of yacht-Euilding
fame, have invented a torpedo convey
ing and propelling system which. if
successful, does away with the torpedo
boat and reduces the submarine in its
possibilities. The business of the tor
pedo boat is to convey the torpedo
within striking distance of the battle
ship or cruiser and to discharge the
torpedo. The Herreshoffs propose to
construct a larger torpedo than the
present standardized Whitehead and
to use it just as small whaleback
boat would be employed.
Two men wearing life p:eservers
set out With it from shore, or from
large vessels, and navigate it within
striking distance of the enemy's craft
point it, lock the steering gear, slip
on into the water and wait to he
picked up. The torpedo thus launched
with far better aim than from a tube
and with a longer carrying range
could scarcely fail to sink it's victim.
AS it is now. the percentage of torpe-
does that "arrive' is only one in ~,
II a man can cross the Atlantic in a
16-foot dory, as has been done more
than once, two men should be able to
navigate pneumatically sustained
