Humcr auo Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
JUST FOR EFFECT.

The man who kicks about the price
He pays for wifie's hat,
Who says 1T keeps him on the edge
And other things like that,
May never pay a single Dill
For things she calls her own,
And she may be supporting him
If all the facts were known.
It's not the man who stands around
And kicks about the price
Who brings q bonnet home each night
Or something Just as nice,
Because the fellow who can buy
His wife the very best,
He brags about it all the time
Until you cannot rest.
The man who makes the greatest roar
About the big expense,
He slips round to the store and buys
Her one for ninety pence,
And II the season after that
She wants new headgear
He lets her know she'll have to wear
The one he bought last year.
It's notsthe man who chews the rag
About the cost of things
Who buys a store out every day
And home the contents brings.
He salts his little roll away
And tries to get ahead
That others may have ample funds
To spend when he is dead.

The Billboard Campairn.

The moment man is nominated for
an office he is at once seized with the
idea that the town is missing it's meals
waiting for a chance to look at his
face, and he proceeds to plaster it up
in billboards, dead walls and every
unpre-empted bit of landscape that he
can find.
1t makes no difference If he has n
face so homely that the looking glass
hates to tell him the truth about it, he
still rushes madly on with his paste
pot outraging art and making the
waste places look like a crazy quilt.
We do not know that the posters do
any particular harm. We never heard
of any one leaving his happy home on
account of them, and it seems to do
the candidate lots of good personally,
and perhaps on the whole 1t doesn't
lose him many votes.

The Stage Farmer.

One Of the big city papers takes q
local society to task for holding an en-
tertainment in which the persons at
tending were arrayed In bunch grass
whiskers and the accompanying make
up Of the stage farmer.
This, the great paper thinks, 10 well
calculated to weary the soul and stick
pins into the feelings Of the gentleman
who SO ably and 80 thoroughly feeds
the world.
We are inclined to think that the
paper in question has made q bad
guess. The real farmer Is the last per-
sou on earth to get mad at the stage
farmer. As well ask the idle rich to
get mad Mt the picture OF the million
aire octopus.
The people at the party had met tho
real farmer. Many of them doubtless
had him for father-in-law, and they
were aware that his conversation did
not consist wholly of by heckv' and
his clothes OF a pair OF out OF date
boots and one suspender. With the
present prices for eggs and such, the
farmer knows that the laugh 10 really
on the other fellow.

When the thin woman in the long

WHAT FISH SEE OF WORLD
college Professor Gets the Results
with a Camera Under
Water.

mat a fish in an aquarium has an
entirely different view Of the external
world than We whose vision Is unhin-
dered by glass or water is a thought
that perhaps has come to but few.
one u these few Is Prof. Robert W.
Wood, Of Johns Hopkins university,
Who has succeeded in obtaining photo
graphs Of Mount Vernon Place, and a
view looking west down Monument,
and north and south down Eutaw
streets, as they would appear to a fish
submerged near those localities.
AS is well known, an eye below the
surface OF the water sees the sky
compressed into comparatively
small circle Of light, the center OF
which is always Immediately above
the observer, the appearance being as
II the pond were covered with an
Opaque roof with a circular window
cut In It. The objects surrounding
the pond, such as trees, houses or
people, must appear around the rim OF
the circle Of light, but the human be-
ing is unable 10 get a clear notion OF
their appearance, since his eyes are
not adapted to distinct vision under
water.
Reasoning from this fact, II occur
red to Mr. Wood that a very good
notion Of how these things appear to
the fish would be obtained by miners
ing a camera In water and photo
graphing the circle OF light. His ap-
paratus was constructed out OF a lard
pail, a short focus lens provided with
very small diaphragm being ee-
mented over a hole perforated in a
metal disk which rested on a rim
soldered around the inside OF the pail.
The plate was placed on the bottom
OF the pail and the whole filled with
clean water In a dark room. The lens
was covered by metal cap, operated
by a handle on the outside OF the pail
The apparatus was set on the ground,
and the surface OF the water covered
with sheet OF glass 10 prevent rip
Piles, the pail being 30 full that the
glass was in contact with the water.
This arrangement obvisted the neces-
sity OF immersng the affair In a pond
since the function of the latter was
performed by the water in the pail
above the lens
A number of interesting pictures
were taken. among them being Mount
Vernon Place as II would appear 10 a
FISH submerged In a pond near the
base Of the lion. The monument is
plainly shown. and the adjacent build
