SUCCESS NOT DUE TO LUCK
Photographer VIII Not Admit That Element of Chance Enters h.
 to Ills Work.

When the amateur photographers . friend asked him why he looked peeved the other was glad to explain.
 "A friend of ours just asked me to come over and take . picture of her baby" he said She apologized for aksing. which was unnecessary be- cause was glad to do 1t, but she spill ed tho beans by giving her reason that l had such good luck taking pictures" !"
 Well, you do. don't your" inquired the friend.
 There you go." the photographer exclaimed. There's no such thing a. luck in my photography. What vexes me is that every one seems to consid- CT them inseparable.
 Photography is as exact . science as running a survey nowadays with those who know how to handle cam. era With the photometer and expos ure tables, proper developer and . thermometer for determining its tenn perature, every last element of luck removed from exposure and negative making. The same is true of the printing processes. You know in ad. vance how much light you have and how much you need; factorial tables tell you how long to leave 8 plate in the developer; every step is timid with a stop watch. And that's why 1t annoys me to have people say that my art is luck proposition.
 Before l had taken as many pic lures as stand to my record now, there was sometimes luck, mostly bad Although, as it appears to me at pres ent, got better results than I should have obtained. But if man with 8 little experience and the proper out fit exercises as much intelligence as Is necessary to boil eggs, photography is no longer matter of luck. and I thank nobody to call me lucky"

Day of Stately Mlnuet.

We arc promised a revival of the stately minuet. But consider well the responsibilities of that dance. Thus. for instance, MT. Austen Leigh on the eighteenth century minuet: Tt was not every one who felt qualified to make this public exhibition. and those ladies who intended to dance minuets used to distinguish themselves by wearing a particular kind of lappet on their headdress. l have heard also of another curious proof of the respect in which this dance was held. Gloves immediately clean were considered requisite for its due performance, while gloves little soiled were thought good enough for a country dance; and accordingly some prudent ladies provided themselves with two pairs for their several purposes. ."-- London Chronicle.

ARC AND THE INCANDESCENT
Explanation of Entirely Different Prn- cIples Under Which tho Two
 Arc Employed.

The arc light and the incandescent light work on totally different princi- ples. It was noted many years ago that when an electric circuit was bro ken the current jumped across slight gap, producing a brilliant flame. The shape of this flame was roughly an arc from one conductor to the other; thus the word "src" was adopted. All arc lamps burn in the air and not in vacuum. The light Is produced by the current leaping across a small air gap between the two electrodes, or car bon pencils, and heating the tips of the carbins white hot. Floating particles of whote-hot carbon also add to the brilliancy. A mechanism is necessary to feed in the cartoons as fast as they burn away, or otherwise the gap would increase until the current could not jump across and the light would go out.
 The incandescent lamp, common in most homes and office buildings. Is ob- tained from a piece of white-hot wire. heated by the passage of an electric current The wire must be inclosed in glass bulb from which the air has been exhausted, otherwise 1t would quickly be burned up and consumed The wire filament is now made of tungsten, which resists the flow of electricity with so much vigor that the current. in working to get by the obstruction, heats the wire to incan. descence, hence the name.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR
BULLETIN.

Catching the German battleship Emden in the Bay of Negal, off Coco island, attempting to cut some cables, the Australian cruiser Sydney drove the Emden ashore after she had been fired with shells The Emden's crew was saved.
 The Emdeo is the vessel which has wrought g havoc to English ship ping and Is lstimated to have sunk or captured more than $4,000,0 ,000 worth of English craft since the war began.
 So far as is disclosed by the official statements, the situation in the war theaters, both East and West, remains virtually unchanged. In Belgium and northern France the allies and the Germans apparently take turns in as- suming the offensive, while both sides are bringing up endorsements and preparing themselves for the decisive struggle, which is predicted for an early date.
 In the East, the Russian hosts, ac- cordlng to the Petrograd announce ment, still are driving the Germans and Austrians n front of them.
 San Diego, Chile, reports that the British cruiser Glasgow and the transport Otrantot, neither of which had been reported since November l, the date of the engagement between the British and German warships off the Chilean coast, are on their way through the straits of Magellan, bound for the Falkland islands.
 The suggestion that Japan send an army to Europe has not yet taken tangible form, but Tokio reports that the idea is attracting increasing at tention and finds support in military circles. The sending of a Japanese army in the West would be move ment without precedent and one which would emphasize the extent of the conflict

John LAWYER died at his home north
of West Side Saturday, July 18th. He
had been in poor health for some
months and after much suffering pass
ed 70 eternal rest
He was born in Queens County,
ireland, May -, 1910, and with his
parents emigrated to America when
a boy, landing at New Orleans and
settling in Kentucky. From there the
family moved to Clinton county, Iowa.
where they lived until 1878, when they
came TO Crawford coutny, locating in
jackson township, where the de-
ceased has since resided.
In 1884 he was married to Miss
Bridget Mccarthy, four sons being
born to this union, namely: William,
Joseph, Ambrose and Thomas, Joseph
having preceded the father to the
grave. Besides his wife and three
sons. he leaves to mourn his loss three
brothers, Fenton, Daniel and Patrick;
three sisters, Mrs. B. Kerrigan, Mrs.
Margaret Dunn and Mrs. Alicia
kealy. One brother and one sister
died some years ago.
The funeral services were held at
Vail On Monday at 10 o'clock a. NJ,
Rev. Peter Murphy officiating He
preached an impressive and touching
sermon to host Of friends and neigh
bors, after which the loved father was
tenderly laid to rest in st. AIMS Gem
etery.
He was OF an affectionate DISPOSE
ton, quiet and peaceful in his ways,
so that friendships circle was to him
a large one. He was reared Cath
olic and remained a devoted member
until his death. Among us all he
ranked as loved neighbor and man
of sympathy and kindness, welding
over all a strong influence for good
ness and truth. His long life has
been noble example. his counsel and
sympathy will be sadly missed by his
loved ones. Gone from our sight, but
because love is stronger than death,
he is ours still and with the help and
support of our Maker we will wait
in hope for a joyful reunion on the
resurrection morn.
He patiently bore with our imper-
fecticns, he loved his neighbors as
himself, he feared God and served
Him while here. We welcomed his
presence, we priced his friendship, but
both are lost to us for a while. So
noble in mind and grand in charac-
ter. now laid low only to prove that
such is our end here; his message
seems to say to us, Follow the
Masters teaching and be safe with
Him at last When faith, never-wa-
vering faith opens the portals Of heav-
en- we sincerely believe that our loved
one will be an inmate there. Heart
felt sympathy is extended to the wife,
sons and relatives. May his soul rest
in peace.

The Essay.
The farm is the best place in the
world to live if we will but make it
so. II We would make G farm ideal
we must think of four factors,-the
size OF the farm, the kind of farming,
farm management, and the improve
ments to be established on the farm.
The ideal corn belt farm contains
enc hundred and sixty acres, if at
least ninety per cent be tilable. Why
do We suggest one hundred and sixty
acres? Because then there is room
for a four course rotation of corn,
small grain. meadow, and pasture. A
less amount OF land, when used for
the growing OF the staple crops, is too
small to be operated economically.
The farmer must have help, and any
thing less than one hundred and sixty
acres will not warrant keeping an eX-
ira man the year around. In an eighty
acre farm, the fields must be too small,
the corn rows too short, and the fences
and the turn rows form too large a
percentage Of the whole. The quarter
section farm will produce a large
amount OF roughage.
The ideal farm must be live stock
farm. Otherwise, it would not long
be ideal. Then what kind of live
stock? We need horses to do the farm
work, COWS to grow calves and furnish
milk, hogs to consume the skim milk
and the corn grown on the farm, and
sheep are profitable, especially if there
be any land unfit for cultivation. The
best kind of stock for the ideal farm
is the dual purpose COW, the double
decker, that furnishes both milk and
beef. She is the most economical an
