Film Picture Freaks.

Freak pictures are usually the result
of clever manipulation Of the camera
or the film. Articles or individuals can
be made to instantly disappear by STOP
ping the camera while the article IL
removed or the person walks OF the
stage, the other characters holding
their pose until the camera Is again
put in motion. In some films in which
q person is thrown from height or
Is apparently crushed under steam
roller the effect is gained by the live
person walking away after the camera
is stopped and dummy substituted to
undergo the death penalty.
By projecting the picture at faster
rate than it was taken excruclatlng
comic scenes are sometimes devised.
An automobile going ten miles an hour
by speeding up the projection machine
may be made to apparently move at
100 miles an hour, end by increasing
the same way the apparent speed OF
persons lodging the demoniac auto ex'
ceedingly ludicrous effects are had.
By mechanical means In combining
two or more negatives into one posi-
tive q man can be shown fencing with
himself or even cutting his own head
off.-Philadelphia Press.

Gold In CaratS.

We often hear people in speaking of
their watches say, 1T is an IS carat
case" Others speak of IA carat watch
es or % carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on a watch case or
the inside of gold ring they read Is X.
or II K, or whatever number OF carats
the maker wishes to indicate. A piece
Of gold jewelry marked Is X. or IL
carats, means that it is three-fourths
pure gold. In arranging this basis OF
marking things made of gold abso-
lutely pure gold is called "a carats.
Then if two, six or ten twenty-fourths
Of alloy has been added the amount of
the alloy is deducted from twenty
four. and the result is either %, IS or
ii carats fine, and so on. On ordinary
articles made by jewelers. the amount
of pure gold used is seldom over 18
carats, or three-fourths. Wedding rings
land these are considered solid gold
are generally made % carats fine
that is, there are only two twenty
fourthS parts Of alloy in them.

Words.

Words are used for various purposes
Ito evade issues, to put people to
sleep, to break up homes, to present
literature and to conceal ideas. Moth
ing exceeds like words.
Words are used in speeches, debates
and stories. Massed in serried groups
in newspapers and text books they pre-
vent people from learning anything.
Last words are most effective and are
employed exclusively by women and
prominent citizens who are dying.
Words are nothing in themselves, but
only in their relationship to other
words. 1t is the system Of putting
them together that counts. Most words
are like unorganized militia. In war
the mortality among them Is fearful.
They never win battles. When words
are found in regular army style, how
ever, disciplined and experienced. they
are likely to be invincible.-Judge.
