VIEW way TO TAKE PHOTOS
BY Means Of Luminous Paint Copies
Of Plates and Enarzvinas Are
Now Made.

An ingenious method Of making
Photographic copies Of plates and
%engrayings in books that cannot be
removed from the Libraries, and
where the use Of the camera is pro-
hibited, has been devised by Mr.. Jer-
vis-Smith, an Englishman, an ex-
change says.
He coats a cardboard with lumi-
nous paint, exposes It to sunlight
or electric arclight, and then places
it at the back Of the engraving, while
a dry photographic plate is placed
on the face of the engraving. The
book is closed, and after a period
varying from eighteen minutes 10
one hour, depending largely on the
thickness of the paper, a satisfactory
negatlyefis produced. The book is
inclosed in a black cloth during the
manipulation, from which the book
takes no harm.

COX THE PROGRESSIVE

FROM THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN
There were no followers of Mr..
Roosevelt in 1912 more sincere
and jealous than Mr.. Ickes,
cambridge Colby, Matthew
Hale, John NJ. Parker, Judge
Ben Lindsay, Francis ]. Heney
and George Rublee. The fact
that they are all with the DEM
ocrats as against Harding this
year indicates the choice that
true progressives must make as
between the democratic and re-
publican candidate.
Mr.. Harding's election could
not possibly promote progress
i've causes.
Governor Cox is p%re-eminent-
~ the more progressive of the
two candidates. His record as
Governor of Ohio is the record
Of a progressive or it is nothing.
And no one can dismiss as neg
lible 0hio's laws for the protec-
ton of women and children in
industry, for workingmen's in
surance, for the protection of
widows and orphans, for the
protection Of workers health,
prison reform, school reform
and budget reform.
There is no possible doubt a
bout the prospects of progress
siyism. If the country wants
reaction it won't elect Cox.

due to a boundary dispute between

did not join the Union until after
his DEATH the Detroit News recalls.
Allen was a redblooded fighter He
led the Green Mountain boys to cap
ture Fort Ticonderoga. He was
born in LitchGeld, Conn, Jan. 10,
1887, and died Feb. 10, 1889. While
he fought for the principles Of the
nation, he was barred, technically,
from citizenship, because of the
fact that the territory where he was
born was not a part of the Union.

VIA CRUC|S RITE is REVIVED
Rome Again Witnesses Ancient Cere
nnony of the Cross in the
Coliseum.

Rome, 1taly.-After an interval of
fifty years, the Coliseum again has
been the scene of the picturesque cere-
mony Of the Via Crucis. Pope Bene-
dict XIV, who reigned from 174O to
I7oS, instituted the ceremony by plac-
ing a cross in the center Of the arena
where martyrs had given their lives
for the faith, and erecting fourteen
stations of the cross. Each Friday
the ancient amphitheater witnessed
the solemn rite. The practice was
abandoned in 1870, when Rome be-
came the capital Of united Italy.
The celebrants have once more WIS.,
tied the Coliseum, however, and ar
raycd in their strange gray garments,
which include a cowl covering the
head and face, have revived the cere-
mony Of old time. Princess Barberini
led q column Of women, and among
the men taking part in the rite were
many from patrician families.

WHO STOLE DINOSAURUS?
Theft of Giant Skeleton From Patago-
MIA Frets Buenos Aires Off,
cial.

Buenos Aires.-Who stole the great
Patagonian dinosaurs?
This is a question the newspapers
are asking, and it is also a question
with which DR.. Carlos Ameghino, d.
rector Of the Buenos Aires Museum Of
Natural History, would like to have
answered.
The dinosaurs, or rather it's skele-
ton, was not stolen from the museum,
it should be explained, but from the
soil of Patagonia, near Neuquen,
where, in remarkable state of pres
ervation, it was discovered by some
English engineers a year ago during
the excavation of an irrigation ditch.
They notified Arthur Smith Wood
ward, naturalist Of the British mu-
scum, Of the find, who, in turn, COM
municated with DR.. Ameghino.
From the description Of the engi-
neers it appeared the dinosaurs was
a monster, even for dinosauri, and of
a new species.
