Color Your Own Pictures.

Some of our amateur photographer
may be interested in learning an
easy way Of coloring a photograph
nicely without having first taken les
sons In drawing or painting. This Is
the method: After you have printed
your photograph, and before you
mount It on cardboard. hold it against
the window. placing the picture side
toward the glass; then sketch clearly
on the back Of the picture the out.
lines Of the parts to be colored. When
this is completed place the picture
side Of the photograph against a blot.
ter and apply the desired colors to
the back of the picture. keeping with.
In the sketched outlines. Then pre-
pare a mixture consisting Of ten parts
benzine and one part vaseline. and
pour this over the photograph. rub
bling It thoroughly into the paper with
the finger. Do this both on the face
and back Of the picture. After the
picture has become transparent
through this process let II stand for
an hour or two, then dry It with q
cloth and mount Il on cardboard.

MONEY MADE IN BUTTERFLIES
Queer Occupation by Which Men Mako

One Of the queerest of occupations
oy which men make their living is but.
.erfy hunting, and as It is now con-
iucted In the jungles Of India and
Africa It is also as full of adventure
and narrow escapes as tiger hunting or
gold mining. The butterflies Of our
fields and woods are, of course, too
common to have any value, but there
are very rare varieties that will bring

manner of risks. Before a man can
attempt butterfly hunting he must have
thorough scientific education. and
then he can go to Africa, and by col.
Letting lizards and orchids and rare
plants along with the butterflies he can
often make very large sums Of money.
In capturing butterflies in the Jungle
the collector often has to climb trees
where there are poisonous insects and
snakes and sit very quietly with his
long net in hand and wait for the ap-
pearance Of some beautiful butterfly.
Then he must carefully scoop 1t in,
get It down safely, and pack It for
shipment to London. II he is fortunate
enough to find an entirely new and
rare variety he can sometimes make a
whole years salary out of 1t. Many
Wealthy people in Europe have magnih-
,ent private collections Of insects. and
here are also good public collections

Good Trap After All.

A Connecticut man being annoyed
by huge rat which persisted in ma.
king away with chicken feed and
pretty much everything else that it
found In the barn loft, set a trap for
the marauder. The trap was a new
tangled affair, baited with nice piece
Of toasted cheese, but the rat was too
cunning. so an old.fashioned, steel.
pronged trap was buried under the
chan in the well-worn path from un.
der the hay, and the new trap pushed
aside. The old rat was caught the
first night and killed, and no one
thought of the other trap for three
weeks. When the farmers boy went
to look for it, a mass Of stun In the
center attracted his attention, and, on
examination, 1t was found that a cou.
pie of half.grown rats had found their
way into 1t, and had settled down to
make the best Of the situation. They
had drawn in through the spaces at
least two quarts Of char and bits OF
hay and had gone to housekeeping.
They looked surprised at being dis
turbed, and the farmer is now exhibit
ing them as specimens Of contentment
under difficulties.

lightful Narrow ribbons are used as
well as wide ones and innumerable
graceful forms seem TO lie asleep In
the brain OF this ingenious man Let
a whisper reach them that they are

liners and others, are taking up this
work OF ribbon fer decoration and
II may prove a new profitable accom-
plishment for them. Ribbons will not
supplant natural flowers entirely, but
they will bring about new order of
things. Fewer blossoms will be used
and greater effectiveness given to
those that so appear.
We shall be spared the little hurt
that turks in the dropping fading flow.
err because those that are used will be
placed in vases while ribbons and TO-
liage will make a marvellous back
ground for them.

seen.
The solution is when the assistant
enters the bag he pulls in about Is
inches Of the rope and holds 1t, as
shown in Fig. 3, while the committee
is tying him up. As soon as he is
in the cabinet he merely lets out the
slack thus making enough room for
his body to pass through. When he il
out Of the bag he quickly unties the
knots and then steps from his cabinet.
