Ellm Picture Freaks.

l 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 is removed or the person walks off the stage, the other characters holding their pose until the camera is again put in motion. In some films in which a person is thrown from a height or is apparently crushed under a 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 excruciating 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, and 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 a man can be shown fencing with himself or even cutting his own head of. off.-Philadelphia Press.

 New York Critics.


 Miss Katherine Galloway, who is making a big hit in the prfma donna role of Molly O. the new musical comedy which opened in the Cort theatre, New York city, on Saturday night is the sister of Mrs. Elnore S. Banks of this city and FSairfeld, and is well known in this vicinity where she has made her home with her sis ter and brother-in-law for a number of wears
 Miss Galloway was known in local musical circles some time ago, and at different times occupied the position of soprano so1oist in various churches of the city. She was then a pupil of late Harry Pepper. the vocal in structor.
 Her handsome appearance, ready smile and pleasing personality are now winning her a high place in the theatrical world
 Miss Galloway is a familiar figure on country roads of Fairfield where she is often seen riding horseback. She is originally a daughter of the South.
 While the part of Molly in Molly O. is the first BToadway- role in which Miss Galloway has appeared. it is not her first venture into the theatrical field as she has prev1ously been seen in vaudeville and in travel ing companies.
 The theatrical reviewers all spoke in praise of the new prima donna after Saturday nights performance.

 There is no uniform rule adhered ta by all the cases as to the computation of time where the last day for the do- ing of an act falls on Sunday, states Willis A. Estrich in Case and Com ment. The rule s6stained by the weight Of authority is that where an act is re- quired to be done within a given time and the last day of that time falls on Sunday, the act may be done on tho Monday following. 6, eauft hrlFos 7svz
 The rule as thus announced has been esta blished by statute in most states providing that, if the last day on which an act is to be done falls on Sunday or a holiday, that day is 70 be excluded :n the computation of time. Under these statutes the general rule is that when an act is to be done on a day which happens to be Sunday 1t may be done on the Monday following but the rule is not universal nor FgeneFalIY applicable to all questions of comput6- tion of time.

Mines of Nevada.

Nevada is a Spanish word meaning snowy or white as snow" and the name of the state, says a bulletin of the United States geological survey, was derived from the Sierra Nevada The state ranks sixth in size in the Union Its length from north to south is ASA miles. it's width 321 miles and its area 1O9, ,821 square miles.
 The history of Nevada is chiefly the history of her mines. Since the discov- cry of the Comstock lode and other fla nous ore bodies periods of activity and prosperity have alternated with periods of depression. Each discov cry of high grade ore in noteworthy quantity has been followed by rapid settlement in that locality and the es- tablishment of one or more towns.

 Under the viziers are the m'kadems, who are the chiefs Of the order in their various d1stricts--local governors, ag-ie were. These officials in turn are serv- ed by staff of subordlnates, who keep them informed of all things of interest to the order Once each year the na'sa- dems gather in the secret city, but what transpires there we can only guess at. One thing is certainAthe taxes they have collected in their dis trfcts are then turned into the general treasury.
 The location of this secret city, which bears the name of Jof, can be found on the map, but no Christian lives who can tell you how the road to it runs, for no Christian traveller has ever been there or at least has ever returned thence.-Christian Herald

Gold Tn carats.

We often hear people in speaking of their watches say, "It is an IS carat case.'s Others speak of 14 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 K. or IA K, or whatever number of carats the maker wishes to indicate. A piece of gold jewelrE marked IS K, or IS earats. 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 tvo 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 9, 18 or 14 carats fine, and so on. On ordinary articles made by jewellers the amount of pure gold used is seldom over IS carats, or three-fourths Wedding rings (and these are considered solid gold) are generally made 9 carats fine that is, there are only two twenty fourths parts of alloy in them.
