Lights and Shades as Delicate as
if an Expert Did 1t.

The machine also possesses a sys-
tenn of lighting which initiates the eff
fects produced by the photographers
shades and rejecting screens, so that
the subject is properly illuminated,
and the photograph comes out as del
icately modelled with regard to light
and shadow as if an expert poser had
superintendent the operation.
Few persons are quite satisfied with
the proceedings of photographer, or
are willing to admit that notWithstand-
ing all his experience, he can choose
for them the exact pose and lighting
which they would prefer but with this
machine ali can arrange such things
to please themselves. One often says
to himself when looking into mir
ror:
Nov, if could only get THAT ex-
preston and THAT lighting in pho
tograph, how much better it would be!
But [ can't see how | look when the
photographer has posed me, and I
don't know how | am going to look

Not a Detail, 1t Seems, Has Been
Missed in It's Making.

Thus it becomes a private photo
graphing apparatus for the home. In
such countries as France, where pho
tographs are often demanded on
cards of identification" for many pur-
poses, its usefulness is apparent.
No detail seems tot have been neg
lected In the automatic action of the
machine. AS soon as it has been set in
motion, bell rings, and thereupon a
placard appears before the sitter read
ing:
Attention! Fix your expression"
In few moments another sign ap-
pears: Don't novel"
Immediately afterwarde the picture
is taken by instantaneous exposure,
whereupon third sign makes its ap-
pearance Thanks. The sitting is fin
ished. In three minutes you will find
your portrait in the box at the bot
TOM
After that, as before said, the sit
ter can watch many of the automatic
proceedings of the machine through
the windows.
If it is a public machine that is used
the sitter's coin remains in plain sight
until the moment when the portrait is
delivered

100000 COUNTRY
TELEN folded up her sewing and
II then took the crochet work
i Il from her mothers lap.

Where millions were formerly an
adequate yardstick for measuring in
dollars the commercial and other &C
tivities of I've United States, our
growth in all respects has been so
rapid and tremendous that the billion
dollar measure is now being adopted
The corn crop last year yielded a
value we'll above the billion mark:
Congress al each session appropriates
more than a billion dollars; exports of
agricultural products of the country
for the year ending June 80 for the
first time passed the billion measure,
with total of 81 .026. 900 900, compared
with S944. 900 in 1912: the debt of
New York City is approximately ST.
oo0,000,000 and city-owned property is
worth much more than that: the for
eign commerce of the city is nearly
50 900 o00, 900 annually.
All of which goes to show that the
United States Is a billion dollar coun-
try.

4 BOYS VALUE

For forty years you have SAC, 900 as
the earnings of the educated man.
Subtract $4,000 from $40. 900 and the
difference of $4,000 must represent
the value of a boys time spent at
school getting an education.
You will admit that a man who
works with his hands at unskilled la
Dor puts forth as much muscular eff
fort as a man who earns a livelihood
by his wits and education. Now, If
$4,000 represents the value of the
time a boy spends at school Getting
an education, what is the value of a
day spent in school
Say that the average school life OF
a boy or girl Is seven years of 200
days each. Let us say that it takes
four more years to get a good edu-
cation. Reckon eleven years of 200
days each, you will find that the 1900
days of school are equal to $22 1000, and
simple division will bring it home to
the comprehension of every boy and
CIR. that each school day, properly
spent. must be worth $1,000"

BY GARRETT p. SERVISS.

A FRENCH inventor has contrived
~ an improved means of flatter
n ing human vanity, in the form
of an Photographic machine, with
whose aid the sitter can choose his
own pose and arrange his own express
sion, without the Intervention of
third person.
All he has to do is to place him
self on a stool before the machine,
look into mirror, fix his hair and his
necktie, and graduate his smile to
suit his mood or his fancy, and then
drop a coin in slot or, if it is a pri-
vate machine owned by himself, touch
a button, whereupon the mechanism
sets to work, takes his photograph, de-
velOps it, transfers it a card fixes
it, and at the end of three minutes
delivers the finished photograph, in a
permanent form, in a box at the bot
tom of the apparatus, and is ready for
another pose.
The entire process is effected by
means of a system of electromagnetic
and nearly all the steps are visible
to the sitter, who can amuse himself
by remaining in his chair and watch
ing the operation through windows ih
the enclosing box.

pointment that the invention describ-
ed has been made.
The pictures are made on the reg
ular platino-bromide paper and lack
nothing but the photographer touch:
ing up of the negative, which often
does as much harm as good They are
also made on prepared post cards.
In it's usual form, the machine is
intended to be placed in public places,
like those that deliver candles, but it
can also be used without the device of
dropping money in the slot, and then
the mechanism can be set in motion
by simply pressing a button.

Confession

Los Angeles, December 26--It was fol-
Los Angeles hotel chambermaid, who
has since fled the city, that John Bos-
tick, the youthful bandit, held up the
Sunset limited at Ell Monte on December
/. The murder of Horace E. Montague,
a railroad station agent. who was killed
by the robber as he entered Pullman
car, was an unforeseen incident, which
spoiled Bostick's plans for the girl.
Bosticlx laid bare this feature of his
crime to Sheriff Hammel today. He
told the sheriff he wanted funds for tho
girl, who is now supposed to be in Phoe-
nix. Ariz.. and he added he had intended
to return to Los Angeles and take her
away on a trip as soon as the excite
ment over the murder and train robbery
had died down.
The girl worked In downtown hotel
until Wednesday, when she learned from
the newspapers that her sweetheart was
a confessed bandit and murderer
An immense throng gathered around the
county prison today to get glimpse OF
the prisoner. Sheriff Hammel asked for
detail of police guards and then to
disperse the crowd he had one of his
deputies who resembled the bandit hand
cuffed to another deputy and taken for

New York December 26-Two men

the New Jersey coast--given up as
lost, is the cost In human lives of the
storm which swept over this city and
vicinity early this morning.
AT seapright, N J.. a fashionable
summer resort 20 miles south of here,
most of the houses have either been
wrecked or under water. Several hotels
and many fine residences were among
those undermined and badly damaged.
Seventy families are homeless.
The damage done to property Is es
timated at $1,000.000, most of 1t borne
by Seabright and other points along
the northern section of the New Jer-
sey coast. Most of the property losses
are due to bulkheads giving way un-
der the onslaught OF waves lashed into
fury by gale which at one time
reached a velocity of 90 miles an hour.
The two three-masted barges whose
crews have been given up as lost were
in tow of the seagoing tug Edgar f.

then drifted inshore midway between
life saving stations 10 and 16, six miles
south of Seaside Park, n. ]. At $3.50
this morning only one of the masts of
the barges was visible and on it was
the form of a man, A little later both
mast and man disappeared.
Heroic efforts on The part of the
life saving crews nave so far failed
to reveal a single survivor of the
wreck. The tug was reported safe in
this port late tonight.
The two men drowned here were
longshoremen whose boat was caught
in the storm and swamped.
All doubt as to the fate of the crews
OF the wrecked barges was removed late
tonight when the revenue cutters SEN

no trace of the men had been found.
