NEWSPAPER ILLUSTRATIONS


One sees in the newspapers, and espe-
cially in the Saturday and Sunday issues.
many stories bearing Illustrations of the
scenes they tell There always has been
and probably always will be question of
veracity as to who was the first man to
produce practically a reproduction of the
photograph into a series of lines and dots,
squares and triangles by a Photographic
negative. so that printing plate could be
made from it without the intervening of
any tool work, which the present work is
known as the half-tone" said a local en-
graver.
During the last fifteen years the half
tone process has been greatly improved
In this period plates were etched on zinc
by the so-caled albumen process which
consisted of a clean piece of zinc coated
with solution of bichromate of potash
water and the white of an egg. When the
coating is dry the plate is exposed to a
light in a copying plate after printing then
rolled with thin layer of ink and i'm
mersed in water for development then
dried, brushed over with a powder known
as dragons blood, a resinous substance
that resists acid. This powder adheres to
the INK on all the Lines and dots The ink
washes OH all parts of the plate where
there are no lines o. dots to be affected
by the light in making the print. With the
powder only On the lines or dots the plate
Is immersed in bath Of nitric acid and
water for about ten minutes, when the acid
attacks all parts of the Plate except the
lines or dots protected by the powder, the
result being the lines or dots are left in
relief and then we have our printing plate.
The present half-tones used in maya
zines and newspapers are done by the i'm
proved method called the enamel process.
the only difference being in the metal, the
ina gaines using copper. which is better for
fine work, while the newspapers use zinc,
which is cheaper and admits of more rapid
manipulation. The enamel process con-
sists chiefly of prepared glue and biehro-
mate of potash.

in and chancellor, who had been playing a
major note in the crown princes affairs of
the heart, were pleasantly surprised to re-
ceive kilograms which read William and
Cecilie present their respects to you as an
engaged couple" Not much warmth, but
that was not to be expected.
Perhaps the crown prince was attracted
to the young woman In question through
their similarity in tastes. He rs extremely
partial to music. playing the violin; she
is an accomplished pianist. She is capable
of holding her own in a game of singles
in tennis, of which he is passionately fond.
She is at ease In the saddle: there rs no
better rider in Germany than he, as his re-
cent escapades on the palace steps at Pots
dam and in Steeplechase races let all the
world know. She Is devoted to outdoor
sports generally; he would rather be afield
than attend to ceremonials. She is lin
guist, speaking French Russian and Eng
fish with almost as much ease as German;
he is also the master of several languages.
She is marked for her light spirits; he has
never been famous for a serious bend of
mind. She is hailed as extremely demo-
cratic and simple by nature and in her
ways by the people Of Mecklenberg-
Schwerin; many an anecdote is told of him
by worthy burghcrs to show that he, too,
is far from having an imperious nature.
In fact, since his university days at Bonn
where his father was a student before
him, the crown prince has displayed numer-
Gus democratic tendencies. While at Bonn
he preferred the company of townsfolk to
the members of his suite, installed in a
great house in one of the principal thor
oughfares. Nor did the more aristocratic
members of the student body appeal any
more strongly TO him.
Whatever may be said of the influences
which brought the two young people to
each others attention, it cannot be de-
MED that the crown prince has Played the
devoted since the day of their engagement.
While he was in the Riviera last winter
at the time his fiancee was there with her
mother he could be seen daily in her COM

way to meet her. he took care 10 purchase

riage is generally recognized as one more
of convenience than of love. But that is
the way most princes and princesses have
been married these many centuries; but be
it said to the credit of many of them now
living that. though they were not overly
fond of each other when married. they
found true love for each other with the

the kaiserin. When a mere boy he fell

burg is the kaiserin today. But long since
her royal husband is said to have fallen in
love with her. and IL Is granted in European
court circles that the couple are extreme
ly devoted and for rhe most part happy.
While Cecilie was not chosen for the
present crown prince in cold-blooded
manner. nevertheless she was not the
young woman to whom the young mans
heart naturally turned. Highly impress
sionahle all the Hohenzollerns have
been for centuries, he fell violently in love
first with this beauty and then with that,
and most generally they were not of royal
blood; two of his infatuations said to
have been for Americans. All this time
his father and Count Won Buelow were urg-
ing him to select a bride from among the
none too many eligible princesses left to
Europe. At last, after his visit to the
house of Hapsburg Archduchess Elizabeth
had failed of the hoped-for sequel he was
prevailed upon to visit al the home of the
Grand Duchess Anastasa and while there
it was observed that he seemed to be more
impressed by the Duchess Cecilie than by
any other young woman of royal blood who
had been automatically brought to his at

them that she would not only never in
crease her vocabulary. but that she would
soon lose the little she had learned, there
being no sound that could come to her ears
to assist her memory.
Her father was not made of such weak
material that would abide by this cruel de-
cision. and time, money and almost super
human efforts were put forth to teach the
child to speak, even If she could not hear.
The story of her education is an interesting
one of continual combat with the prejudice
and luminosity of those whose views were
at variance with the ideas OF her parents,
but that she was perhaps the first child in
America to receive an education by the oral
method is most interesting Of all. Not a

naissance, and is filled with everything that
has bearing on the condition of the deaf
and their history in this country. There
are fifty thousand volumes within those
fireproof walls, and other things in proper
ton. while more being added all the

money, contributed by Dr. Bell and his
father. Its name was taken from that of
the celebrated French scientific prize of

French Doctors on Meningitis.

fro:9 the London Telegraph.
French physicians say that epidemic cere-
bro-spinal meningitis. otherwise spotted
fever, is not by any means iewly dis
covered disease. but has been exhaustively
studied for over sixty years. In 1897 the
malady broke out at Bayonne among two
regiments of the line. which, being removed
to other garrisoRs. spread the epidemic.
Spotted fever invariably appears in wet
weather. The epidemic is of short duration,
and dies down the return of sunshine
and warmth. The disease begins with
shivers and violent headache, pains in the
limbs and vomiting. then muscular con-
fractions in the back and jaw follow. with
disorders of the eye. Delirium Is succeeded
by torpor ard coma in fatal cases. All this
has been described years ago, but the dis
-coyery Of the bacili of the disease is cnm-
paratively recent. These are of many spe-
cies pneumococci. streptococci. staphyl-
ococci, etc, producing various forms of the
complaint. The bacilli become lodged in

mends treatment by hot baths. the appli-
cation of leeches and the administration OF
