Few persons could be found who
would deny the claims Of photography
TO rank among the fine arts, when
skillully used and properly controlled,
since the photography Of Of to-day is
something more than n mechanical re-
production. The individuality of the
photographer is being expressed in
his work almost as much as is that OF
the painter The painter still has the
advantage. for while he may give us
all impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which is OBJ

skill by mechanical eye Compost

principles TO the photographer. who
thus supplies the mechanical eye with
a mind. yet he must study lighting at

The land registration court is out of

TONERS paying the necessary expenses
in connection with the prosecution of
their applications for registered titles,
business would have to be practically
suspended. AS it is Judge Weaver
has been able to operate since the first
part of July under adverse circum-
stances
The appropriation for incidentals was
originally recommended at $4,000 but
the Legislature cut this down to $4,000
and the expense fund ran out by last
July 1. The principal item under this
expense are the wages paid the ex-
aminers of titles and the surveyors for
proving up the maps. There are also
small items for stationery. Efforts
are to be made to have the legislature
give a larger appropriation for the
court. The salary of the judge and
registrar are paid under a salary ap-
preparation. The court is not allowed
to use the fees that are paid into it
to operate the business of the court.
There has in consequence been a good
sized amount of fees paid into the
treasury every month.

BISHOP o'CoNNOR, RECENTLY IN

WILL RESULT IN GOOD.

Two Catholic Bishops and three
Catholic priests arrived this morning
on the Alameda on their way home
from Rome to Australia. They have
made tour of Ireland, Scotland, Eng
land, part of Europe and the transit of
the United States, and now they are
waiting to take the next steamer for
the Colonies.
In the party are Bishop Dunno of
Bathurst, Bishop P. j. OConnor Of
Armidale, N. S. W.; Rev. Father j.
Dunno of Sydney, brother of the Bishop
Rev. Father ] F.. Marshall of Mary
borough, Victoria and Rev. Father M.
J. Shanahan of Hamilton, Victoria.
They say that their entire trip has
been one for pleasure. They left Aus
tralia last February and went first to
Rome then visited other countries on
the continent. Rt. Rev. Bishop o.
Connor stated this morning that he
thought that the present troubles in
France would work out for the good
of the country and the church in par
ticular.
"While the present trouble in France
said the Bishop today "will work hard
ship on a number of individuals it will
come out for the good of the church
in the long run. For a long time the
church and state have been closely in
terwoven and the priests have prac-
tically been slaves to the government
and II they did thing out of the way
or said a thing they would suffer by
having their salary stopped.
Things were quiet in France more
or less at the time we were there but
things have been stirred up lately.
We knew that a climax was due at
almost any moment. But it will come
out right in the long run and there
must be some suffering now necessarily
