College Girls.

First Of all the girl who goes to col
lege must remember that the initial
impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhappi-
ness for the first few weeks. Above
all things, she should not arrive in an
deliberately trimmed suit, beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may be
suitable for rare occasions at home,
but they find practically no place In
the outdoor wardrobe Of the WELL
bred college woman. The plain tail.
ored suit cut on good lines. a tailored
hat to match and neat shoes create an
impression Of quiet good taste and ap-
propriateness. This keynote Of sim
plicity should be recognized through
out her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon
or net waists and fussy neckwear are
of little use. for college girls room
was never designed for clothes which
require careful treatment and pro-
lection from dust.-Leslie's.

Nearly everybody believes that Ben.
jamin Franklin was the inventor and
constructor of the lrst lightning rod.
In this particular they are mistaken.
as the first lightning catcher was in.
vented by poor monk CT Bohemia.
who put up the first lightning rod on
the palace of the curator of Preditz,
Moravia. June Is, 1854. The apparatus
was composed of a pole surmounted
by an iron rod. supporting ~ curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filed with iron ore.
The entire system Of wires was uni.
tedAo the earth by large chain. The
enemies Of the inventor. jealous of his
success. excited the peasants Of the 10.
cality against him and under the pre-.
text that his lightning rod was the
cause of the excessive dry weather
had the rod taken down and the In.
ventor imprisoned.

Real Louis Was Not a. piIspIdated 40
He Has Been Pictured by
Mark Twain.

Probably no written portrait Of the
third Napoleon is better known to
Americans than that embodied in the
rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain
In The Innocents Abroad" whore he
contrasts the emperor of the French
and the sultan of Turkey at their
meeting in Paris in 1867. II was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time, but II is a picture to provoke
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
Twain described how the future EN-.
peror carried his dreams with him
into exile. how he associated with the
common herd In America. and ran foot
weary beat, a common policeman of
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile, that his belief in his star
never wavered, is unquestiona5ly true.
But IL is not quite so romantic
figure. not such a dilapidated a Louis
Napoleon. that we see in the accounts
Of more careful historians than Mark
Twain. For example. there is Init.
mate Memoirs of Napoleon H." by the
late Baron dAmbes. D'Ambes was not
with Louis Napoleon in America. but
II was from the princes own lips that
he claimed he received the impress
sions of that visit. Louis Napoleon
came to Norfolk, Va. from Rio de
Janeiro on the frigate Andromede.
The commander. Henri dc villeneuve,
was very kind to the exile. and the
prince thanked him with the words
You are obliging a man who will one
day be emperor Of the French. I'M
fortunate as he may appear at pres
ent. shall not forget you" The
Andromede arrived at Norfolk March
80, 1887 The prince proceeded
straight to New York and dined at
Gen. Watson Webb's. where he found
General Scott, his two brothersin-law,
the Stewards. and a number OF sena.
tors and statesmen.

NEW AID FOR PHOTOGRAPHER
Trouble Of Getting Right Exposure
OF Plate Eliminated by Eng
1ieh Manufacturer.

To the amateur photographer the
great bugaboo in his work Ia arriving
ri the proper exposure Of the plate.
Dgath most Of the snapshot cameras
now in use this is impossible, as they
are adjusted for an average exposure;
hut the trouble Is experienced when he
comes to the point Of making time
exposures. This trouble has been met
by an English manufacturing firm by
tlAse addition of certain chemicals to
the sensitive emulsion of the plate or
film which makes Over-exposure i'm.
possible. This is particularly valu-
sa6ie In inside work. where the bril-
Mzntly Illuminated portion Of the room
near the window calls for a short ex-
Dosure and the darker parts for much
more. and In this case it Is impossible
TO expose for the shadow parts with
.Dut OVERRIDING the lighter portions.
An exposure of forty times that of
normal is permissible. and the plates
developed in the ordinary manner; but
where, for any reason, the exposure
has been greater than that. a spe-
cial developer is recommended.

One of the most remarkable actions
OF light has recently come to our at.
tention. the Journal OF Surgery re-
marks. In an address before the
Boston hysio-Therapeutic society.
DR.. +. c. Titus has demonstrated that
blue light possesses remarkable an
esthetic power.
In his experiments he used series
Of slender glass rods about one-eighth
Of an inch in thickness, placed side
by side and tied together so as TO
form kind OF flexible mat which
will adapt itself to various parts Of
the body. The glass must be of cobalt
blue and transmit no red rays. this
being a very important point The
rods are to be placed upon the area
to be anesthetized. and some form Of
white light, preferably a tungsten
lamp, brought as closely as possible
without causing discomfort.
Strange to relate. In twenty minutes
the part becomes insensitive. so that
superficial and even deep incisions or
punctures are no longer felt. This
anesthesia lasts for one-half hour or
more. and has occurred so constantly
that there Is no reason 70 believe that
1t is the result of suggestion or &C.
cident. Minor surgical operations have
been performed under this method
and without the least pain or discom-
fort. and there seems to be enough in
1t to merit attention.
More than thirty years ago there
prevailed what was afterward termed
the blue glass craze. All sorts Of
ailments were thought to be amenable
to the action Of blue light. and the
newspapers were filed with glowing
accounts Of cures. Enthusiasm ran
riot for time and then the matter
dropped out of sight.
Some time later there was a revival
Of interest In phototherapy when
Finsen demonstrated the curative pro-
perties of the ultraviolet ray In var
ious affections. especially lupus. Since
then the physiological action Of light
has been carefully Investigated, and.
although much remains to be learned.
there can be no doubt that we are
nearer to an appreciation Of its pos
sibilities in the treatment Of disease.
