, Mounting FhotoBTmpfcs.
The satisfactory mounting of photo
graphs is s troublesome operation, and
the following suggestion from a con
tributor to The Outlook may be of assist
ance to amateurs: "I have found a
method by Vfhioh a photograph or en
graving can be mounted on the thinnest
paper without curling or wrinkling. If
the pioture is a photograph, it should
be ironed out smooth with a hot iron
and then trimmed. Mix a little gum
arabio in hot water so as to make a
rather thick mucilage. Place the pio
ture on the page in position and mark
jnat inside the corners. - Remove the
pioture and take some of the muoilage
on a ruling pen and draw a heavy line
of muoilage from one point to another,
aoas to make aline of muoilage all
around the place where the picture is to
be. As soon as the muoilage is sticky
put the pioture in place and a book over
it to keep It flat When dry, you will
have a smooth mount that will not

New Yobk, February 13. Harold
Frederick has cabled from London to
the Times the following :
" I have from an absolutely informed
quarter an interesting view of the state
of affairs in the far East. Corea's au
tonomy is assnrred, Manchuria is vir
tually in Japanese hands, and they are
already building additional fortifications
at Port Arthur to turn that place into a
Japanese Gibraltar. Now that Wei Hal
Wei is captured and the Chinese fleet
destroyed nothing remains except to ad-,
vance upon Peking. This will certainly
be done by way of Shan Hal Kwan. It
is eurious nothing has yet been said
about the Chinese works and forces
there, where the next great engagement
must be.
"All talk of peace now is nonsense.
The Japanese will not talk about it until
they are in Peking. Otherwise the vast
bulk of the Chinese people would never
know that there had been a war, and
the Japanese would have in a few years
to do their work all over again. Von
Hanneken haa been toiling to fortify
Shan Hai Kwan for months, but there
is no doubt that the Japanese will take
it." '. . ,

; AN IRRIGATION QUESTION. J
Oaattlou Against the Basr Taller Irri
gation Company.
Los Angeles, Cel., February 13.
Judge Roes of the United States circuit
court to-day handed down a lengthy
opinion in the case of Jamee Gilbert Fos
ter vs. the Bear Yalley Irrigation Com-"
pany, in which he decided in favor of
the plaintiff, who represented about
4,000 persons in and about Redlands,
Cal., who were holders of class "A" cer
tificates of the Bear Valley Land & Wa
ter Company, of whom the defendant is
successor in interest. The Bear Valley
Land A Water Company went into in
solvency, and a receiver has been ap
pointed. Prior to this that company
levied $2 per year additional to regular
charges upon holders of elass "A'r cer
tificates. The company did this because
the corporation had by tapping addi
tional sources of supply increased the
flow in the Redlands canal, from which
the certificate-holders took water. The
latter, however, objected to this addi
tional charge, and the opinion decides
that the receiver shall recall the notices
sent to elass "A" subscribers demand
ing that they pay this additional charge.
The court bases the decision on the legal
principle estoppel.:
