The Height ot Adam and fcve.
Mr. Henricon, a member of the
French Academy of Sciences, pub
lished a work in the year 1718, a
larger part of which w6 given un
to tbe past and present conditio Bi
of the human family. In tbe
course of his arguments he uroves
to bis own satisfaction at least, that
we have rradually degenerated
from colossal specimens of flesh
and sinew to almost microscopic
specks in comparison. Tbe digni
fied position of tbe learned Henri
con demands for bis views all doe
respect, but who of the present
generation could be induced to be
lieve that Adam the first landlord
of creation, was 123 feet and 9
inches high? Yet, in course of his
reasoning, be proves that iu a sat
isfactory way to himself and his
colleague. "Eve," says this learn
ed M. D. "was aplendid help
meet for her gitnt husband, but
was n..-t nearly so tall, being but
113 feet, 9 inches and 9 lines."
Something New In Photogra i.
Pall Mall Gazette. '
A curious photographic appar
atus iu which a camera is raised
by a rocket and lowered by a par
achute, is being deve'oped, n Puns
correspondent says, by a Freuch
inventor, Amedee Den'ssf. In its
experimental form tbe cylindrical
camera has twelve lenses arouod
its circumference, with a sensitive
plate in the center, and it is pro
vided with a shutter, which opvns
and instantly closes as th' nnpsra
tm commences to fall. The e
scent is eased by tbe opening of fie
attacl ed parachute, which is drawn
back to tbe operator by a cord at
tached i efore tbe firing of the
rocket. For securing birdeye
views the phnto-rocket offers sev
eral important advantages over
balloon photography, such as com
paratrve cheapness and freedom
from risk in case of use for mili
tary reconnoitering.
