The Colonel. Last Stand.

On the night of January 10- 1864. just
beIofe retiring to his virtuous couch,
samuel Pepys wrote the following i'm
that diary of his, which was destined
to become world famous long after
his death:
"All our discourse tonight was

known a rogue he was"
Colonel James Turner was the sort
of man you read about in histori-
cal novels. A swaggerer and ruffier,
with his nand even upon his sword
hilt, and his eye quick To read offense

The Colonel had many false friends

was in financial troubles, which was
pretty often. he could count upon the
assistance of Mr.. Tyron, a benevolent
Ianeient man of wealth. Tyron never
refused him money, but didn't hano
iout as much as the Colonel thought
WAS necessary. Mr.. Tyron's mint
ran on shillings, while that of the
Colonel ran on pounds. In those days

Color Photographs.

The beginning is the normal begin
ming of all things Photographic :
namely, an exposure. This is done
by electric Highland three negatives
are taken of the subject--one through
a violet screen, second through q
green, and the third through an
orange. These three negatives are
exactly superposable. and all are in
black and white; but the lights and
shades are differently placed. the
plates having been made by different
coiored lights. These negatives fur
nish three positiyes in color on gelatin
paper. Mr.. Vancamps has invented
a colored gelatin paper-yellow, red
and blue the Complementary colors to
those of the screens. without tn $
paper the process would not be possi-
BILE.
The three positiyes are blue. red and
yellow. The yellow paper is usel
with the negative taken through the
violet screen, the red with that taken
through the green screen, and, finally,
the blue with the product of the
orange screen. These positives are
made by placing the paper in contact
with the negative and exposing ii 10
electric nknt. 1nlS nXeS me cOlOTcu
matter in the gelatin where the mega
tive allows it TO pass. Washing re-
moves the color that has not been
fixed by the right. Thus there are
three postives-blue. yellow, and red
in which each color has its own dis
1ributien. the relations of light and
shade being different.
To obtain the totaliZed positive
print. il is necessary, as might be
anticipated, 10 combine the three col
ored prints. This is done by de-
taching the gelatin films from the
paper and superposing them exactly
on another sheet. This is all. The
gelatin being very thin and the colors
very transparent, the eye sees each
of the prints through the others and
the effects melt together.
From single set of negatives any
desired number of positives may be
printed. But 1t will be realized that
the number and delicacy Of the
manipniations do not allow OF the
production of the coiored photographs
at the prices of ordinary Photographic
prints.--Literary Digest.

Old Oobbin's Straw Hat.

Poor old Dobbin, He really did look
eomica as he stood in the shafts of the
laundry wagon. his head adorned with
a haymaker's straw hat going up 10 a
peak, with two holes cut through the
brim above which rose his big brown
ears. 1t was with the benevolent purpose
of protecting the head of Dobbin from
the fierce rays of the sun that the laun-
dryman had furnished this adornment
and with somewhat rnmpled blue rib
bon had tied it under the chin.
The hat itself was no novelty to any
one but Dobbin. He probably mad seen
many upon the streets like unto it. but
this was the first time he had the dis
tinction among equine kind OF wearing it,
He was somewhat disturbed when he
tried to raise or lower his ears, as the
holes in the hat did not admit OF ease OF
movement. and perhaps he wondered
whether the young ladies tripping along
the pavement were also bothered with
their millinery.
But this style of hat, did he but know
it, has long and eventful history with
long and vacant epoehs between Its be-
ginning and today. When Marie Antoin-
cite and her ladies' of the court played at
haymakins and shepherdessing in the
gay afternoon that WAS so near the ter
rible revolution, they We're adorned win
hats much like that worn by the laun-
drymans Dobbin. In the days OF the
French directory the hats with the Dob
bin pattern as a basis Were more fan
tastic. but il was more than century
later before the climax of oddity was
reached i'm the year of our Lord 1913.
But Dobbin was not aware of this. he
extreme of fashion, one of the smart set.
He only knew there was an impeachment
in the way of wagging his ears in the
old accustomed fashion. So he tossed his
what fretfully, not at all in the mode of
the patient old fellow that he was, until
the faded blue ribbon broke under his
chin and the big straw harvester hat
lay before him on the ground. the
laundryman had gone into a house to
make delivery. There was no one look
ing. What a choice morsel of straw
Well, here goes.
When the laundryman returned he
looked at the head of Dobbin, then he
looked at the feet of Dobbin AS Tor
Dobbin he never looked more stupidly
honest than at that moment.
The laundryman mounted the wagon.
