SHADOW PICTURES.
Photographs That Can Be Made by the
Aid Of a Magnet.

Photographs That Can Be Made by the
Aid Of a Magnet.
It is possible to produce, with the aid
Of a magnet, shadow photographs re-
sembling those made by action Of the
x ray. Either an electromagnet or a
permanent magnet will answer the pur-
pose.
Place a key or other iron or steel
object on the sensitive film Of an ordi-
nary Photographic plate, then bring the
poles of the magnet near the other side
of the plate and keep them there for
five minutes or more. Upon develop
ing the plate a shadow picture Of the
key or other object, as sharp and we'll
defined as any Of the x ray pictures,
will be found.
BY this method only iron or steel or
other paramagnetic substances may be
photographed, but the sensitive side
Of the plate is turned toward the mag
netic poles and a disk of iron nearly
as large as the plate is placed on the
other side then shadow pictures of any
nonmagnetic objects, placed on the
sensitive film facing the magnet, may
be obtained. The operations are, OF
course, conducted In a dark room.
With an electromagnetic capable OF
lifting a weight of 100 pounds one scien'
list has made such pictures through
two inches of interposed wood. He has
also obtained shadow pictures with a
compound steel magnet weighing little
more than a pound.-New York Trib.

ORIGIN OF "BLACKLEG."
The Term Came From Race Track MeF
Who Wore Black Top Boots.

VINO wore black ] op oootS.
The term blackleg. which has come
to mean one who Systematically tries
to win money by cheating in connec-
ton with races or with cards. billiards
or other games of skill or chance and
is used as synonymous with swim
dler, a welsher. is of uncertain origin.
Some authorities connect it with the
black legs of a gamecock, so much
used by the sporting fraternity for bet
ting purposes.
According to another and more prob
able view. the expression had no dis
graceful sense attached to it at first.
but was applied to turf and sporting
men because they were often in the
habit of wearing black top boots.
When blackleg had thus become cur
rent phrase for professional sporting
men it probably passed into use as ap-
piled more particularly to those who
took an unfair advantage OF their OPP
portunities to cheat the unwary.
The derivation of this term was once
solemnly argued before the full court
of queens bench upon a motion for a
new trial for libel. but that learned
tribunal was unable to decide its Or
igin.-London Standard.

The Bitter End,

You have probably often heard a
person say II will follow it to the bit
ter end" or something to that effect.
but very few persons know that this
is a nautical term and is borrowed
from ships cable. If Won have ever
been on big ship you must have no
ticed two big pieces Of wood sticking
up out Of the deck forward. alongside
each other. They sometimes have a
windlass between them. and they are
used to secure the cable that goes to
the anchor. These pieces of wood are
called the bits. When the ship comes
to anchor and the cable is paid out
all that part of it which is abaft or
behind the bits is called the bitter end
of the cable. In a storm or in poor
holding ground for anchors the more
cable that Is paid out the better the
anchor will hold. and when the cap
tain is at all doubtful he pays out his
cable to the bitter end sooner than risk
any harm to his ship.-New York Press
