At the Opera House.

The coming attraction will be the
sensational scenic production Denver
Express. This play, although a melo-
drama, is one of the better kind.
The story of the play is one of in
tense human interest, story that
appeals to every heart; the comedy is
of that bright, quick kind that makes
one forget their troubles, and the
scenery is the finest ever carried with
an organization of this kind. The
Denver Express will be at Loves
hall, tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. LIST.

PHOTOGRAPHING MARS.
Some Details of the Making of the
Andes Photographs.

The Andes photographs of Mars were
made with a large planetary camera
which carries with it an simplifying
lens, says e. c.. Slipher in the Century.
The camera was fastened to the lower
end Of the large telescope Of eighteen
inch lens and each of the many little
images shown on the plates was taken
separately. The telescope was adj
justed so that the planet was in the
center Of the camera field then the plate
holder was placed in the carrier Of the
planetary camera and set in position for
the first image, the slide then being drawn
from the plate holder. A bulb in the
right hand opened the shutter Of the
camera, allowing the light from the
planet to fall on the sensitive plate.
Then a bulb in the left hand shifted
the plate a quarter Of an inch for the
succeeding image and so on through
the entire series Of images taken on one
plate. Sometimes the plate was ar
ranged to shift from right to left ana
sometimes In a vertical direction.
Inasmuch as the photographs were
made at night, virtually no light except
that from Mars reached the plate, and
the latter was not incapacitated by one
exposure from receiving other sensitive
impressions. About half an hour was
consumed in taking the sixty images
on some Of the plates and eight or ten
plates were exposed in one nights
work. In all about 10000 negative
| images were taken.
As the best seeing" occurs in
flashes" the successive images on the
same negative may differ somewhat in
wealth of finer detail; to the skilled
eye all show the larger canals with re
markable clearness, though the more
| delicate details are lost in reproduc-
ton. Of the 10000 separate images
| of the planet none is destitute of canals
| and in some cases as many as twenty
five or thirty canals have been counted

A LEGITIMATE APPLICATION. x
Observation-Disclosures

Miss EstaDrook's system of philoso-
ply is SO satisfying TO her that she
likes to acquaint others with it. Sci
dom, however, does she find SO ready
and sympathetic an acceptance Of her
point of view as she encountered the
other day In an adherent Of a we'll
known peripatetic school Of philoso-
pliers. She was taking her regular
four mile-a-day exercise along a coun-
try road, when she met a tramp to
whom, earlier in the day, she had
given a quarter. The benevolent lady
called after him:
Just a moment. there, my man, if
you please"
The tramp paused doubtfully.
Il merely wished to state that In
granting your request just now I am
wholly free from the common delusion
that any real harm could result to
you, even supposing that you are act
ually in want and unable, by your own
conscious effort, to extricate yourself
from apparent deprivation of good,
knowing, as | do know, that an abso-
lutte justice, insuring the individuals
welfare, reigns throughout the cosmos"

Short Suggestions.

To keep linoleum bright, use sweet
milk in water to wash it.
To brighten old lamp burners, boil
fifteen minutes in buttermilk.
Charcoal in pieces the size Of a pea,
or burned corn, once a week is valuable
for all poultry.
Outside leaves Of lettuce, if boiled,
drained and chopped, and served on
toast, like spinach, are delicious.
To clean bronze wash the surface
with pulverized whiting. then rub with
paste of plumbago and saffron and
heat the article before a slow fire.
Brass or copper may be easily clean
ed by rubbing with a wet, soapy rag
dipped in powdered bath brick. Polish
afterward with a soft dry cloth or
newspaper.
When boiling bacon or ham add a
little vinegar and two or three cloves
to the water and leave the bacon in
after until the water is cold. The
flavor will be delicious.
When roasting meat if there is dan
ger of its becoming tos brown place a
basin of water in the oven. The steam
from the water will prevent the meat
from scorching and it will cook better.
Greasy water should never be
thrown down the sink Put it in the
garden. There is no better manure,
and flowers especially roses-bloom
splendidIy if 4 little is occasionally
poured round the roots.
