double PHOTOGRAPHS. Vetsiada of Maklat; a Vlgnn Appear tst j Different Positions oa One Plato. j The making of double pictures on one ; negative plate has been practiced by j photographers for tome time. It has been supposed that they were made by j using reflections from mirrors to double I the object to be photographed. . Doubles ; may .be made that way, bqt the refleo-1 tion of tho glass always shows, while j the figures are lnvanaoiy aistortea. J.ne ' most common way of making successful . doubles is to extend the reach of the lens with a small box rf tho same depth ' of the focal depth of the lens. The in " side of the box should be smooth and blackened a dead black, to prevent its appearance in the picture. - The front of the box Is then divided equally by two small doors or flaps. - In making the exposure open one flap, draw the slide from your plate holders and ex pose the plate. Then replace the slide, close the door that was open, let the per-' eon being photographed change position, open - the door that was closed on the first exposure, leaving1 the other one closed, focus the object, draw the slide again and expose the plate again, and you have the same person in two differ ent attitudes in the same negative, with out any lino of demarkation showing in the background. Captain John N. Biker goes further than making doubles. He makes triples, quadruples or any number wanted, in the most grotesque and ghastly forms, on one plate. His system of making doubles on the same plate is more com plicated than the one described. It is done by placing a kit or shutter over the. plate in the holder and exposing a part at a time. .' '. .'.' ' , v '.- The kit is hinged in sections, the upper corners opening like little doors to the side. Decapitated heads are taken by opening the doors and just' exposing the part of the' plate directly . behind, on which the head has been focused. - After these exposures have' been made the doors are closed and the subject is fo cused with outstretched hands. After proper focusing, the kit, except the upper corners, is drawn away and a fall exposure made. A few days ago Captain Biker walked into the house and tossed an envelope into Mrs. Biker's hands. On opening it he found a picture of the headless body standing upright with arms outstretched, and in each hand a platter on which lay a ghastly .head his own. Captain Biker said that while he had known for many years the secret of making the pictures, he now desired to show simply what really is behind the making of alleged spook and spirit pic tures. The secret of making the pictures has been known for many years also by Professor George B. Cromwell.-'-New York Sun. An Improremant In Tunneling;. . The frequent and serious difficulty ex perienced in the operations of tunnel ing, namely, the subsidence of the sur face after the completion of the work, has lately been found to be preventable by a simple system resorted to by a Lon don contractor, by the use of which no ground outside the actual section of the subway in hand need be disturbed. The system in question comprises a series of steel bars placed side by side with the excavation so as to form a complete tem porary lining and support to the roof, and within this series of bars the perma nent brick arch of the tunnel is built. The bars used in this work are ten feet long, six inches wide, and two inches thick, being provided at their edges with longitudinal grooves, by means of which each is linked to the next one in such a way as .to admit of separate longitudinal motion, and yet to prevent lateral sepa ration. . The bars are inserted in the same manner, as well as supported, as ordinary tunnel bars, the ground being excavated, only the exact section of the tunnel, pins the trifling thickness of the bars. After the brickwork has -been built within them the bars are separately pushed forward by jackscrews as the -earth is excavated for the succeeding length. The bars are provided with longi tudinal tubular cavities, through which grouting or other filling material may be introduced from time to time to fill the epace left vacant by the advancing bars between the top of the lining arch and the earth above and Around, this preventing Any subsidence. New York Maine Female Travasp. A city female tramp of giant stature is annoying some of our western Maine towns. She comes to the farmhouses, generally after dark, and begs to be al lowed to stay all night. Her request is 'generally granted, though unwillingly, for her person is very repulsive. She always carries several large bundles cov ered with a waterproof. . In one of them are a clean dress and whole shoes which she saves to put on in Boston. They are too good for tramping in Maine. To all appearance she hasn't a relative in the world, and prefers this roving life to any kind of labpr, for she is frequent ly offered a chance to do housework at farmhouses, but always declines. Once . she did work for a day or two, but de clared she'd rather walk and beg. She expects to go to the poorhouso, but not -- until she can no longer travel. It is said that to hear her talk without looking at -her -one would imagine her -a lady, so correct is her language. Lewiston Jour--naL v " ' ' ' ' Proving; an Old Proverb. Ancaens, king of the Leleges in Samoa (an island in the Grecian archipelago), planted a vineyard; and so heavily did he oppress his slaves that one of them, it is said, prophesied to him that he would never live to taste the wine there of. When the wine was made - be sent for his slave and ' said. "What do you' think of your prophecy now?" The slave . made snswer, "There's . many a dip t twixt the cup and the lip.- ;The words were scarcely uttered when Ancseus was informed that' a wild boar bad broken into his vineyard and was laying it waste. Ancaaus, setting 'down .the cup un tatted, hastened to attack and drive out the boar, but he was killed In the encounter. Detroit Free Press. WHERE BEAVERS LIVE. KILGORE'S BIQ FARM INHABITED BY . . ; BEAVERS FOR MARKET.. .' . !-. One Jaaa Wb Hope to Grow Rica Oat ef the Scarcity of Sealskins A Queer r Kind of tin Stock to Raise Bcarm , Are aa Social aa Pis. - ' - ! "You have never heard of Dick Kil-J gore's beaver farm? That's queer." The speaker was old "Mud Cat" Williams, ! who has been a fisherman in the south east Georgia streams for forty years. "Dick's going to make a pile of money," he continued. : i ; - -"You see, Dick has about 200 beavers, young and - old, but there are not more than twenty to be killed for their skins this year. It's a new industry, an ex-, periment with him, and he don't want to j kill any except the surplus males for the present. But suppose yen go out with me and see the farm." j ' A drive of ten miles through the swamps along Briar creek and -the Kil- ' gore place, or Beaver Dam Hollow, was reached. ' ' : - j -'Now, here's the farm," said Williams, pointing to tire-creek, across which every I few yards were rough dams, and above them, in . the - almost still water, . were . mounds of earth, rocks and sticks com- j ing out a few feet above the surface of ; the water. '-.: . ! "You know beavers don't show them-1 selves much in the day. They do their r work at night. Dick owns about-1,000 '. acres running up and down the creek.' He has the land posted and keeps everybody on, dux it ib not rencea. jrences wouia not keep the beavers in, but there is no dan ger of them going off, for this is a nat ural home for them, and every beaver here knows old Dick. He feeds them every night, and they come, when lie calls, like hogs." ; Kilgore has been a - farmer down, here for vears. and beavers have- been in the creek for all time, but it was not until ! recently that he began to protect and j care for them with a view to making: beaver raising a regular business. It! will be a profitable business, for the scarcity of sealskins has increased the value of beaver skins, and they will con tinue to increase year by year. A few years ago beaver skins sold as low. as four dollars per skin, but they - should now bring at least ten dollars each. . VALUE OF. BEAVER 6K2XS. Beaver skins sent to London and prop erly dyed a seal brown are splendid imi tations of the eaL The seal fur, you know, is naturally a gray. The reason 1 say send Deaver skins- to London is -. be cause that is the only place in the world, it seems, that furs can be properly dyed. However,' the fur of the beaver is natu rally a reddish brown, and is a beautiful fur. '. The beaver is a queer little animal. 'When full grown it weighs from fifty to sixty pounds. Its hind legs are. its prin cipal propellers both when in and out of the water. The hind feet are webbed and the front ones have claws,, which are about as convenient to the beaver as a monkey's hands are to him. - They can carry stones and sticks about in them with ease. In the water - especially a beaver can carry a quantity of freight, for he swims with his hind feet and carries his load in his mouth. Just after dark Mr. Kilgore went down to the edge of the stream to feed, the beavers. : "I don't often feed them in the sum mer," he said, "for they get all they want along the banks of the stream. They eat bark- off- the trees, and at this season there "is an abundance of fresh, tender bark and grasses and roots. In the winter they lay up a supply of food for themselves along-the banks and in their holes in the dams, which they build of roots and sticks and stones. I feed them nearly all the time in winter, when they flock together and unite in building ; dams, but in summer they scatter every ; fellow for himself and I only call them i up occasionally; j ust enough to keep them' tame. As they are scattered off for miles around, but few will come to a call , for food." - . j . HOW THE BEAVER WORKS. . But there were a dozen romping about in the stream then, and in a few minutes - quite a number had gathered. Among I them were a score or more little fellows i born only a month ago. :The females have ! from two to six young each annually, ' And as a conseqnence the families in i crease very rapidly. I A mixture of green food and a little ! grain was thrown out on the ground to i the herd of little animals,, and they ' scampered around and picked it up like so many hogs. Some of them would - gather up an ear of corn or a young corn stalk and dive off with it into the stream. They were tame, but, like hogs, would j scamper off if you tried to catch one. I A beaver seems to be. almost human in intelligence. ; ; They actually - gnaw down young trees, drag them into a stream and let them float down, swim ming with them to the place they want to build a dam. Then they will drag' stones and roots and sticks and grasses, ana lnaeea everyunng usea to aam a stream, until' they have practically as substantial a dam as a man could con struct. They do this to make the water above deep enough to sport in and placid enough to build their homes of sticks and mud in, which, are very warm' and comfortable in winter and large enough for a family of eight or ten. i The beaver's principal tool in building these homes is his taiL . The tail is a scaly, trowel shaped appendage About ted inches long and Your or five inches broad."' The beaver's main strength is in the tail. : He- can take up soft mud on it, place it against the sticks and stones used to build his home, and pat it do wn with the tail as firmly and as well Jad a 'man could: do the work with a trowel. ' Besides its fur, which is the main reve nue: " frora 'the beaver;- it furnishes cas toreum, a product used in medicines, - and its flesh' is" ar food that when, prop- . erly prepared is delicious.
