PhotoQraphin0 Machinery,

One of the tasks which occasionally fall to the lot of the amateur pho tographer Is to take some piece of machinery as 1t stands in the works, often with back ground of other machines, belting. etc., with which it is easily confused. AS it is usual to block out machines on the negative, so that they print out on a plain white background, this does not matter very much; but the blocking out is made much easier if the machine is given some kind of a background against whicl it can be seen, so that there is no t2ubt which is the ma chine in qucc' on and which is not. A few newspar' IS pinned together will be found quite sufficient for this purpose
 and few more spread on the floor will be very helpful by refiecting light up on to the undersurfaces of the diff ferent parts, which otherwise would be likely to come out much too dark

MADE THE FIRST PERISCOPE
Preacher Is Credited With Invention Which Has Given the Submarine
 Its Dreaded Power.

The origin of tie periscope is now under discussion, and the following ex- tract from the writings of the we'll known inventor of Peppers Ghost gives the credit to the clerical profes- sion.
 Pepper wrote soon after the Cri- mean war: During the siege of Se- bastopol numbers of our best artillery men were continually picked off by the enemy's rifles as we'll as by cannon shot, and in order to put a stop to the foolhardiness and incautiousness of the men very ingenious contrivance was invented by Rev. William Taylor, the coadjutor of MT. Denison in con- structing the first Big Ben bell.
 Tt was called the reflccting spy glass, and by it's simple construction rendered the exposure of the sailors and soldiers, who would look over the rarapets or other parts of the works to observe the effect of their shot, perfectly unnecessary; while another form was constructed for the purpose of allowing the gunner to lay or aim his gun in safety.
 The instruments were shown to Lord Panmure, who was so convinced of the importance of the invention that he immediately commissioned Rev. William Taylor to have a num- Der of these telescopes constructed"

JUST A FEW WORDS FOR DAD
One Writer Who Believes the "Oid Man" Has Not Been Given All
 He Is Entitled To.

Dad is rarely the object of lhap- sody. The poets pass him over as of all things least pcetical. The song writers indite no sob melodies to i'm mortalize him, but reserve him for rollicking ditties ill which he figures as failure or freak. Even in the best-regulated families, where there is no thought either of discourtesy or misrepresentation, what father wants or does CT says is alluded to half apolo- getically, as if to suggest that not much could be expected from such source. If one were so minded it would be possible to extend this sur vey of dad indefinitely along these lines, but there is another picture of him equally true to life and more in- spring to contemplate It is one too seldom limned, if not too lightly ap- praised.
 The common or garden variety of dad, no matter what his circumstan- ces, represents much that is admira- ble. As rule he is sell sacrifice sub- limated. The father who is worth while, which is the kind We are talking of here, lives not for himself. Possi- ply he has his weaknesses and his pleasures, and to an extent ministers in the unessentials to his own con- forts and habits. But, after all, for whom and for what does he live, strug- gle and contrive, deny and save? To the end that his children shall be bet ter, abler, happier and more richly endowed of gifts and goods than he and his wife. There is no discounting or undertaking the mothers part and lot. But is there not a tendency to award scant need of praise to dad?- Pittsburgh Gazette-Timos.

It Stopped the Bleeding.

My brother, during one of his sur veying trips, met with a very painful accident, which would have proved fa- tai had not the cook acted promptly and with great wisdom. He was cut ting down a bush when his ax slipped and nearly severed his toe. In fOW minutes he was unconscious.
 The cook tore of his shoe and sock, made bandage of a clean towel, at the same time ordering one of the men to bring a large dish and the bag of flour. While they worked to revive my brother, he threw into the dish . quantity of flour; then placed the foot in the -four and proceeded to pack 1t solid with the flour. The bleeding soon stopped, for the blood could not pene- trate so much flour. When the doc tor arrived he expressed great sur prise and told the cook he had saved a life."-Exchange. s~s

 Hello, said strange voice. Does Selig WitIleshank live here?"
 Simon Mish slammed down the re- ceiver and went hack to his bath. Gle was alone ill the house) Five minutes later the bell rang again. Again Simon Mish left his bath to an- sWor.

Your work is imperfect" said the master, bending over @ student and his work. That line is not straight, and 1t ought to be perfectly true."
 'I can straighten it" was the care less answer, and the student put out his hand toward the eraser, and put his pencil behind his ear.
 Do you not know that A straight line does not need to be straight ened?'" said the master gravely. Perhaps you can straighten that crooked mark, but it will take time and skill, and how much better in any case to make line in the first place that needs no correction. It is very hard to rub out crooked mark, to make place for straight one"

A man who kept roadhouse in Rhode Island was called upon to tes- tify ill a suit as to the number of cubic yards handled in some rock removing and filling in of lots in the vicinity.
 Naturally enough he showed very lit tie knowledge of the matter. his idea of cubic yard being so indefinite that it was suspected he hardly compre- hended the term. In order to facilitate his understanding the judge said:
 Listen. witness! Assume this ink stand to be three feet across the top this way and three feet that way and three feet in height, what should you call it!"

DREAD VOLCANIC SEA WAVES
From Which Human Skill Can not Save Vessel.

Occasionally there appears a great wave sweeping across the calm sur face of the ocean in the fairest weath- CT and when no wind is blowing. There are few perils of the sea to be more dreaded than such a wave. For tunately these are very rare, yet more than once a ship has encountered one. A vessel of 8 British line not long ago was met by wave ot this kind, which rolled upon her like wall of water, and breaking against her sides, swept the deck with irresistible force, kill ing one sailor and seriously injuring others.
 The cause of these singular waves is believed to be some disturbance of a volcanic nature at the bottom of tEe sea. Volcanoes exist in the ocean as well as on land; iu fact, nearly all the volcanoes known are CD CT near the scaccast. It is easy to see that ali up- heaval at the seabCttom may start pillow at the surface of the water, when we remember that it has been reported that huge waves have been sent clG2r across the Pacific to ou. coast by volcanic shalings of the earth on the borders of Asia.
 The world under water is not on.y three times as extensive as that which is covered only with air, but it pos sesses many of the same great natural phenomena on scale that is perhaps approximately vast, but of whose eX- istence we are made aware only by such indications as the volcanic ocean waves that ships occasionally encoun- ter.
