BARESPHOTQ SECRET

Method of Taking Multiple Photo graphs Is Explained. Scheme Showing Four or Five Llk of Same Individual on One Plate Hat Always Hr.d Air of Myetery. New York. The scheme of showing in a photograph four or five like nesses of one individual has always proved an attractive one because of a certain air of mystery surrounding it. To the average person it is quite m vstifying how the different poses can be secured of the same Individual all on one plate. The attached sketch shows how this may be effected. There are two special mirrors with f"a ies only on three sides, each five ot high and three feet wide, placed at in angle of about 75 degrees the angle t ing formed by the edges of the glass alone. The subject sits at a table, with his back to the camera, facing the right angl formed by the mirrors. The camera then points at the back of his heafi and the reproduction obtained from the combination of the mirrors Multiple Photograph Plan. results in showing on the plate a reproduction which looks as if five men were sitting at the table, each an exact duplicate of the other. Not the least important feature of this scheme is that of securing the right light with the proper diffusion. In this case a Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor lamp is suspended directly over the man's head, and about half way between t e location of the man and the mirrors. White cheese cloth is nlaced between the lamp and the object over tbe top of the mirrors in order to further increase the diffusion. Popular Electricity. PORT WINE MADE IN LONDON Spurious Article Is From Raisins and Currants, Net Portuguese Grapes. London. All is not port wine that is bo labeled. A reporter was informed that a large quantity of spurious wine is made in Icndon and designated "port," although neither it nor any of its ingredients has ever been near Portugal. The technical descripticn of port wine, as given 1 y an expert, is as follows: "The words port or port wine when used by themselves denote a fortified wine of a particular type and having particular characteristics as to sweetness, color and bouquet, made from fresh grapes grown in Portugal and shipped from Oporto." This description does not apply to a large quantity of the so-called " port" wines sold in Ixmdon. As a matter of fact th cheap "ports" are nearly all made in London. TVe manufacturers make the wine quite openly ami their factories are subject to the inspection of iff officials, but as they make it from dried rurrants or raisins and use in the manufacture a ce'tain amount of real port wine they avoid the payment of import duties.

WEALTH THAT IS FORGOTTEN Great Deal of Treasure in Banks Remains Unclaimed Through Long Term of Years.

London The case of $1.100 deposited in a I.ancf.shire bank 80 years ago and unclaimed until the other day, is by no means unique. Every year the exchequer benefits considerably by absent-minded persons who fail to claim dividends due on government stock. The amount left unclaimed every year averages $1,250.000, the owners of the stock being untraceable. When Chancellor of the Exchequer Goshen converted the national debt in 1889. over 12,000 of the notices sent to stockholders were returned marked "unknown." and after every possible inquiry had been made. $36,250,000 remained unclaimed. The case of the Ashburnbam chests of old silver, remembered after lying hidden in the celh r of a bank for over 30 years is by no means unique. About j 35.000 ounces of silver that belonged to Harriet Mellon, the famous actress, have remained in the strongroom of Coutts' bank since 1830, th year of her death. There was no secrecy about the hiding: Dlace. for the octo genarian, Thomas Coutts, '.-spoused the actress in 1815 and. dying seven years later, left the whole of his vast fortune to her. She was thirty-eight when the banker married her, and when she was fifty, she made a second alliance with William Aubrey de Vere, ninth duke of St. Albans, and died as a comely duchess three years afterward, "without either affection or in solence in the display of her wealth," as Sir Walter Scott testified. Opulent in person and big of heart, Harriet showed her true self when, on the death of her Danker-husband, she insisted on sharing her huge possessions all hers by right with her stepchildren. The public had idolized her throughout her stage career from the time when, as a c hild of eight, she had been a little mourner at the bier of Juliet, until February 7, 1815, when she took her farewell at Audrey. Her mother was a shopgirl in Cork, who became dresser and wardrobe keeper in Kean's company. Her father was .Lieut. Matthew Mellon of the Madras infantry. The Coutts-Mellon silver is of the style of the regency when Paul Storr was called upon to fashion tureens and sauce boats of immense dimensions. SMALLEST HOUSE IN WALES Tiny Dwelling Is Built Up Against the Csstle at Conway, North Wales Has Two Rooms. Ixmdon. Perhaps you the dissatisfied persons an unkind fate because live in a cottage or a are one of who rail at you have to little house, when it is your desire to dwell in a mans'on.

Why Not Armor for Every Bullet? An ingenious New York doctor ha invented a bichloride of mercury tablet in which the antidote is combined with the poison, so that a person may swallow corrosive sublimate, inten

tionally oraccHintaHy1 v. ith impunity, j It s a capital idea, and ought to oe applied to poisons generally, and possibly Maxim might find some way of applying the principle to firearms. An automatic, self-resisting bullet, or something of that sort, would be of much greater utility than Lis silencer. HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS . For pimples and blackheads the following is a most effective and economical treatment: Gently smear the affected parts with Cuticura Ointment, on the end of the finger, but do not rub.- Wash off the Cuticura Ointment in five minutes with Cuticura Scap and hot water and continue bathing for som? minutes.

CUPID HAD HIT HIM HARD

Surely Day of Romance Is Not Ended When Lovesick Swain Can Feel Like This. "Come, come, old man: don't let It knock you out. There ere plenty of other girls in the world. In six months from now you will have forgotten her." ' "Yes, I suppose it is as you say; but it isn't six months from now. Kverything I see reminds me of her. When I look at other women 1 can't help thinking how much more beautiful she is than any of them. When the wind blows I am rr minded that it is probably adding to the color of her cheeks. Whenever I pass a corner where she and I have stood together 1 have a strange empty feeling as if something had gone out of my life. ' When I look up at the sky, I cannot keep from remembering that it is above her. If I could forget her for only a day, for only an hour. I think I might learn to hope again; but I can't get her out of my mind. It seems to me that the whole world is changed since she told me that I was never to see her again. I can't understand how anybody manages to keep on being happy. I would give almost anything to forget her. Chicago Record-Herald. Pets and Broken Hearts. The doc of Mistral, the Provencal poet, died the day after Mistral's recent death. It is a fairly common thing for dogs, cats, canaries and other j ets to die a few days or even hours after their masters. Hut do they die of grief? It is not likely. A Manayunk physician examined the corpse of a canary that had succumbed with its little mistress. The canary's death. the examination showed, was due not to a broken heart, but to sen riot fever, the malady to which its little mistress had herself succumbed. From this and from kindred postmortems it is surmised that pets, when they die simultaneously with their owners, have become infected with the disease that carried their owners off measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The death-from-grief story is pretty, but, alas, it won't wash. A Real Need. A Frenchman named Delamoy has invented an apparatus whereby you can wind your clock by opening and shutting a door, the winding machine doing its work by the action of the door. What is really needed, however, is an invention that, attached to a door, will get rid of people inside of the room. No known method has yet been invented to accomplish this purpose. Yet is there anything which would promote greater efficiency and comfort and give more lasting satisfaction? Life. Uninfluential Quantity.

A mother was urging her little son to be generous, specifically in the case of a small comrade not well endow. d with worldly goods. "I wish you'd give your little wagon to Melville," she suggested. "He has so few toys and you have so many." " I don't want to. mama. 1 like my little wagon. Why doesn't his papa buy toys for him .'"' "He has no papa, dear. That is the reason why 1 want you to be so particularly nice to him. It would be no virtue in you to give him what you don't want anyway. We should always be careful to share what we really prize. Now, as I sa . Melville has no papa and " "Well, why don't you give him papa, then?" was the youthful logician's reply. Poetic Tragedy. "Bill," the poet gasped, staggering into his friend's room.

I began the first verse with these lines: "My son! My pigmy counterpart." "Yes? Yes?" The poet drew a long breath as he took a newspaper from his pocket. "Read!" he blazed suddenly.

The price was $9,000. The fact that one side only was covered with diamonds troubled the customer. Turning tho handbag around and) around, and looking at It from all ides over and over, he finally said, 'Very pretty really. Hut I don't like one side without diamonds.
