When Photography Was Now.

"nen Fnoto9rdPny was new.
When photography first began they
used wet plates and sitting required
eight or nine minutes. A man once
went to be taken, and the photogra-
pher put in his wet plate, demanded
perfect immobility and took off the
cap.
During the long exposure the pho
tographer left the room moment. On
his return everything seemed to be 60
ing all right But when the exposure
ended and he rushed to his closet to
develop the wet plate there was moth
ing on it but a blur.
Very much Disguised, he showed this
blur to the sitter.
"You must have moved" he said.
The sitter looked at the spoiled plate
and laughed in amazement.
"Well. l DECLARE" he said; who'd
have thought that just running over to
the window for a minute to see a
drunken man would have done all
that? I sat right down again. MIN,

Badness.

Men get bald more frequently than
women, according to DR.. Guelpa of
Paris, because they wear hard, heavy
hats. they cut their hair too short and
they eat more than women. DR.. Guel-
pa says the scalp is like soil and the
hair like the Vegetation that grows upon
it. When the scalp is neglected the
hair does not grow and it's roots die.
just as grass dies when the soil is
poor. A heavy, hard hat constructs
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp. Clipping the hair short leaves
its tender roots at the mercy Of cold,
heat and dust. The oil that exudes
from around the roots of the hairs and
keeps them nourished is eoagulated by
the cold and chokes up the matrix in
which the hair is formed.-New York

BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

TOTALITY has occurred, The
first of the word totality
was written at the instant
OF the beginning OF the total
phase of the eclipse of the moon
as observed from the observatory
the morning of the suspicious
day, September Is, 1918. The
apparent humiliation, the cutting
out of space of the respondent
moon standing over the distant
Pacific Sea, was a most impress
sive scene, from up here amid a
hundred silent sentinel peaks,
early In the morning.
The time shown by the mean
solar clock, regulated to standard
International time of the 120th
meridian west of Greenwich, was
four hours one minute a. m. At
the same absolute instant of mean
solar time the master solar clock
in Greenwich was reading 90
hours ] minute, or one minute
past noon, as shown by the minute
hand of the great clock really
And one minute past noon there
is the same as four hours one
minute a. m. just along our good
120th meridian in California, the
beautiful; or the eighth great
hour circle, at onethird Of the
distance around the earth and
likewise around the celestial
sphere, starting from the worlds
first meridian as revealed by the
one inch piece of spiders thread
in the focus of the worlds adored
transit telescope over in British
land.
For the eyes of man are To-
cused, as II were, on this tiny
fiber in high power lenses.
The magnitude of the eclipse
was l.4S5-that is, the diameter
OF the earth's shadow where the
moon passed through it was 4S5
thousandths srester than the di-
ameter of the moon, Then we
had an eclipse of long duration.
And II was, indeed, impressive to
see how much larger the earth is
than the moon; for even without
the telescope the curvature of the
shadow across ne moon was
much greater than the curvature
of the moons circumference. And
with high power on the great
telescope and the stars obscuring
sight to see the edge of the sd-
vancing shadow cross immense
