Magic Photosraphy.

It Is said that photograph may be
quite effectively developed by means
Of tobacco smoke. Nothing is seen on
the paper, which Is previously pre-
pared. until it Is held In the smoke,
when the picture gradually comes out
In strong black and white. The prepa-
ration consists in the treatment of a
small photograph on chloride Of silver
paper, which is dipped into solution
Of bichloride Of mercury so as to
bleach it and make IL disappear. It Is
necessary to prepare the photograph
without gold. The bichloride Of mer-
curry changes the photograph partly
into protochloride OF mercury, which
Is also white, and thus renders 1t invis-
ible on the white paper. but If it be
exposed to ammoniacal vapor, of which
tobacco smoke partly consists, the i'm
age VIII appear. Our young folks who
are interested in amateur Photography
should make the experimental Chicago

A BETTER MAIL e.,
SERVICE WANTED,
Savannah News.)

Inc postmaster general estimates
that $206,662, 100 must be appropriated
by congress for the. maintenance of
the mail service during the approach
ing fiscal year. That is a net increase
or S15,OO0,000 over the last postal ap-
preparation. Of that increase nearly
$6,000,000 stands for advanced sala-
ries and compensation of postmasters
and clerks. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the Compensation" fea-
ture of the items means that more
clerks are to be employed, or at any
and all events that there shall be a
more expeditions handling of the
mails. Maybe it would be an excel
lent idea for congress to look closely
into the matter of improving the DOS
tai service before it makes any appro-
priation for increasing salaries.
How far the application of the
elght-hour rule is responsible we can,
not say, but the fact is that the postal
service has deprecated in a marked
degree within the past few months.
and complaints to the authorities
have not been productive of improve
ment. Business men find their letter
mails not so prompt as heretofore.
while newspaper mails seem to run
on what may be broadly designated as
wildcat schedule; that is, some
times you get it on time and often
you have to wait from four to twenty
four hours without being able to as
certain the reason why.
Complaints of the mails are beins
heard in all parts of the country,
hence 1T seems that the fault is not in
any single Office or route In South
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and
Florida, as we'll as in Georgia, there
are sharp criticisms of the service.
1t may be, as has been alleged, that
the railroads are largely responsible
for mail delays, but the railroads are
hardly running worse schedules and
missing connections oftener than they
did year ago; yet there are more
mail delays now than there were
then. Where the trouble is we d.
not pretend to say, but 1t is some.

CONTROL or SCHOOLS
BY THE GOVERNMENT
Jacksonville Times-Union.

Since the beginning our pubic
school system has been controlled by
the local authorities which furnished
the money for them-the state, coun-
ty and municipal officials and boards.
Naturally the regulations reflected To-
cal sentiments on many points and,
because this has been true, the sys-
tenn has been popular as well as use
ful--it has grown and developed, and
is not the creation Of one mans villa
or an official proclamation. States III
the east and west as well as In the
south have separated the races, and
what has been done for the negroes
in some states has been for or against
the Chinese in California When pro-
tests were made by negroes or
Chinese, it has been uniformly de-
clared that the federal government
had no right to interfere.
But Japan is more than Africa or
China-she has a fleet and army So
when a Japanese pupil is expelled
from a school in San Francisco,
federal official by order from Wash
ington demands an injunction re-
straining the local board, pleading
that the expulsion of the Jap Is In
contravention of a treaty. A Ike
treaty might have been pleaded In the
case of Chinese child; as strong as
right existed in the case of negro
child expelled after legal investigation
in Massachusetts. Does Mr.. Root
know more now than he did last
year?
The Injunction has been granted
and the school authorities in San
Francisco must show cause why
their action is not forbidden by law.
Our forefathers refused to give any
church authority in the public
schools, heretofore the local authori-
ties responsible to the parents have
managed the schools. II may be that
the federal government will now
adopt that Spartan system, which
seems so admirable to our governor
and deny the parent any influence in
the education or training of "the
wards Of the state" If so, there will
be no common schools in the south,
no taxes will be levied for their sup
port, and the federal government
must assume sole responsibility
The whole country will wait with
anxiety for the decision in that San
Francisco case, and its deliverance
will make an epoch not less memoir
able than did the bred Scott decision
But whatever the result, the south
can take care of her own and other
sections may do likewise if they will.

THE DISASTER AT
ATLANTIC CITY
Savannah News.

Fifty-four bodies have been recovered
from the creek at the Thoroughfare
bridge near Atlantic City, where the
disaster on the electric line of the PENN
sylvania Railroad occurred. on last Sum
DAY. An inquest is to be held at Atlantic
City to-day. with the hope of discovering
the cause Of the accident. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Atlantic City officials to make
the inquiry searching one. Public
sentiment demands that nothing be left
undone to find out whether 1t was an
accident that could net have been avoided
or whether Il was caused by the neKli-
gence OF inefheiency of officials. The rail-
road has issued statement that there
has been nothing discovered that gives
the least clue to the cause. 1t was
thought when the car was raised from
the creek Its wheels would contain evil
dence as to whether the rails were were
adjusted when the car attempted to pass
over the bridge, but they showed abso-
lutely nothing.
Pennsylvania's electric railway In New
Jersey has killed a number of people and
great deal Of stock since it has been in
operation. 1t. is said Il has been partic-
ularly unfortunate in this respect 1t is
unpopular with the farmers of the sec
tons through which 1t passes, not be-
cause 1t is an electric railway. but be-
couse 1t has been the cause of killing so
many people and so much stock.
Railway accidents in pretty nearly all
parts of the country have been unusually
frequent and fatal within the last year
Is it because of growing carelessness of
employees or because men are employed
for responsible positions who have not
the qualifications necessary to I'LL them
properly?
Last winter congress spent great
deal OF time in passing a law to pre-
vent discrimination in freight rates, and
the people are fighting all the time to
get reductions in rates, but II is seldom
that there Is a demand for greater safety
in railway travel. The people seem to
be willing to take their chances of being
transported on the railroads without ac-
cident If they can only get the rates re-
duced. It seems to be time for congress
to do something to secure greater safety
In railway travel. 1t would be better to
pay little larger price for transporta-
ton provided greater safety could be Sc
cured. 1t Is said there have been an un-
usually large number of fatal accidents
on the Pennsylvania railroad within the
last year. Has the recent railroad legis-
lation by congress brought about such
feeling of Indignation among railroad men
that they haven't been as able to give
their whole attention TO their respective
duties? Safety in travel should be the
first consideration in railroad legisla-
ton.

THE TRAINED NURSE.
Why She Does Not Remain Long In
Her Profession.

Her Profession.
Carefully gathered statistics appear
to show that the ''marryingeSt" Of all
women are trained nurses. Though
complete figures have not as yet been
compiled, from a considerable mass OF
data the conclusion Is drawn that nine
out Of ten trained Eurses marry dur
Ing the first seven years Of their occu-
patton as such.
When q pretty young woman speaks
Of devoting her life to the self denying
profession Of a trained nurse she is
using, perhaps unconsciously. a mere
figure Of speech. Statistics show that
she has an even chance to be married
within four and a half years and that
she has one chance In eight Of becom-
ing the wife Of physician. The
chances are Eve to one that within ten
years she will marry one Of her pa
tents.
The Importance Ut these figures from
the viewpoint Of the sociOlogist is OBJ
viously great. Pretty young women In
steadily Increasing numbers are enter
Ing the field in question, In which there
seems always to be plenty Of room for
fresh recruits. who are required to ill
the places Of those who get married
and pass out Of the profession forever.
Thus, owing to the causes suggested. Il
is rare indeed to discover trainel
nurse who has been In the business for
as much as ten enthusiastically Even
