That colored photography is no longer
a dream of the future, but an accom-
pliShed fact was proved by a remarkable
exhibition of colored moving pictures
shown to the public in London recently
by Charles Urban and Albert Smith. The
""kinemacolor" is regarded as a distinct
advance over any process yet developed.
The pictures are colored entirely by
means of the suns rays, the process be-
ing as follows: A roll of films is placed
in the biograph machine and in front of
the aperture are placed two screens, or
filters, which alternate as soon as the
machine is set in motion, influencing the
pictures as they are recorded. The filters
divide all the colors of the spectrum into
two groups, one ranging through white.
yellow, orange and scarlet to the darkest
reds, and the other through white and
yellow to green, blue, violet and indigo
TO black. 1t is found that the red and
green tirts show up rather too bright
aud crude, while the blues and yellows do
not show up so well. The inventors ara
at work to perfect their device so as ia
get around this difficulty.

~tsities of the twentieth century that is
we'll calculated to drive the cold chills

Mrs. William S. Williams of Allen, Wi
comico County. Maryland. who declares
that on a number of occasions. espe-
cia!ly after there had been a death in
the family. she has seen the heirloom
jump around like a man who has drop
ped a brick on his toe. There is not a
neighbor of Mrs. Williams who doubts
her veracity for a moment. and. if they
did. she says that she can call in wit
neSScs to s~ubStantiate her claims for
her pet. She hopes that the table will
stay in the family for many generations
to come, and probably it will, for there
are very few persons in this world who
would care to take the responsibility of
looking after Il table that periodically
goes on a rampage.

Americas position as the mother
country of the Sunday school ceased
with the ending of the annual meeting
of the International Sunday School
Association Executive Committee in
Chicago. Heretofore it has been the
policy of the American section Of the
association to dictate the course Of
religious study for classes all over the
world. A draft Of the course for 1912,
presented, had been arranged by the
Executive Committee of Great Britain
and will be promulgated by authority
Of the English section alone. a scheme
Of reciprocity has thus been launched,
h American and English committees
directing the curses of study in alter
nate years.
The uniform study course for 1911,
h last under Americas supreme die
tatorship, is now announced in full.
1t will be historical in tone and will
cover the old testament from the death
Of Solomon to the close OF the tesla
ment. with a complete historical study
Of the prophets. The course for 1912,
beginning a new study cycle of six
years. will dwell upon the life Of
Christ, using the %syncptic gospels Of

THREE POWERS HARD UP.
United States, Great Britain and
Germany Are Facing Deficit.

0eTmany ARE racing Oenclt.
Three Of the great powers, the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and Germany,
are about to wrestle with the deficit
question. The British liberals estimate
the gap between revenues and expen-
ditures which parliament must make
good by new taxation as $4,000 900,
while the conservatives, after the man.
ner of opposition, put it at 100000 900.
The German government wants Sis
100000 more revenue at once, and here
in the United States we know that
when the books are closed at the end
of the current fiscal year there will be
a deficit of more than S1OO,OOO 900.
Congress keeps right on as if there
were no such thing as inadequate reye-
nueS.
In all three countries big military
and nava appropriations are largely
responsible for the excess Of eynendi-
lures, though in neither Great Britain
nor Germany is the proportion of the
taxpayers money devoted to fleets. pen.
sions and armies as great as our own.

BOSTON CONSOLIDATED
DEAL NOT PART OF THE
GREAT COPPER MERGER

New York, Dee. 12.-Samuel Tn
termyer, who has been credited witt
conducting the negotiations for the
proposed merger of the great copper
interests as counsel for the Boston
Consolidated Copper company and 9TH
ers said tonight:
There is no basis for the report
that the proposed purchase by the
Utah Copper company of the property
of the Boston Consolidated Copper
company, or its reported merger with
the Nevada Copper company is part OF
= general merger of copper properties.
1t has no relation to any such plan, if
there be such a plan. The properties
of the Utah and Boston companies ad-
join II another. This negotiation TO
put them together has been under way
for three days,
Although il Is expected hat the
annual copper production of the larg-
er company will be about two hundred
million pounds, that represents less
than 10 per cen of the domestic pro-
duction without taking into account
the large foreign output with which
the company must compete"
