PHOTOGRAPHERS AND DUST. How It Affects Their Plate d What They Do vo Escape It. Among the many evils which are at tributed to the all-pervading, never-to-be escaped city dust, there is one which constitutes a grievance peculiar to pho tographers alone. It is the injury which the flying particles, sifting into the room through every aperture, cause to the delicate films and sensitive plates, All films are made of preparations of gelatin, and a large proportion of the glass plates now used are also coated with this substance, which, because of its soft, sticky nature, is particularly likely to attract every atom of dustio the surrounding air, The particles, however small, leave their impress in the form of opaque spots upon the sen sitive surface and seriously mar its per fection. To remove the damage a great amount of retouching is necessary, which is not only labor ops and tire some, but which cannot a'ways be sat isfactorily accomplished if the dust is very thick. What is known as the "car bon process" in photography is prob ably more easily injured by dust than any other, (because an extremely deli cate film of gelatin is used. Chiefly on. account of this drawback the carbon process is seldom employed in this coun try, although photographs are made which resenxble the real carbon pic tures so closely in color that they are "carbon types." In England, where the carbon process is more common, it has become customary for Ixmlon pho tographers to send their developing work out of town to be done, in order to escape the d ust and smoke of the city, but this practice has not gained much ground here. The photographers in this city, as a rule, perform their operations in the same building in which their studios are situated, and for the sake of thus keeping the developing iproeess at home, they are obliged to be at great trouble in protecting it. Some of the methods employed for this purpose were men tioned to a Tribune reporter the other day by a well-known Jtroadway artist. "In the first place," he said, "we not only keep onr dark room itself, but the whole top floor in which it is situated, spotlessly clean. The floors are all oiled until there is not a crack in their Biirface to harbor dust, and they are thoroughly washed every morning be fore we begin our clay's work. All the tables, trays, and everything we use are kent, enuallv clean, 'the windows, in stead of being in the side walls, where the wind would strike them and bear the dust in with it, are in the roof, and very little dust can come in that way. All the cracks in the doors or around the window frames are stopped up, and we kce,p the (lark room tightly closed as inuch of the time as possible. With these precautions we manage to get along pretty well, but a certain quanti ty of dust seems bound to creep in, anil it causes us a good many hours of extra work in retouching." Practically the same struggle against dust is the experience of every photog rapher in the city. One remedy which has been tried occasionally with success consists in filling the room in which the plates nre kept, with steam forafewmo jncnlseach morning. This usually suf fices to lay the ihiHt for the entire day. N. Y. Tribune. - HONEST, BUT CUTE YANKEE. Ill Hencoop Straddle the l.lne lle tmeen Arizona anil Mexico. There is a funny case of International honesty down in Arizona, just on the line between that, territory and Mexico, Kays the Washington Times. A Ynn kce farmer lives there, 0110 Aiuasa liar row by name, and it is his business to raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to raise fowls iu Mex ico and bring them across the boun dary, or to buy the feed and bring it across, would involve the payment of a considerable duly, which would eat the profits about as fast as the hens could eat the corn. As for smuggling, that was not to be thought of. Amasa is a Yankee, and he is so hon est that his neighbors say he wouldn't take advantage of a man in a horse trade, lint he is also full of Yankee Ingenuity, and after deep cogitation L built a long, slim hencoop, one-half of it in Arizona and the other iuMexico. On the line there h a gate. Over the line, there nre barns containing feed. At feeding lime the gate is opened, and the chicken fancier shoos his flock into Mexico, where they eat their meal. Then he shoos thciu back to the protec tion of the American flag, where they digest this Mexican grain, lay their eggs and carry on their funnily affairs. Mr. Harrow saves about 50 per cent., cm Ids grain, and mukcH about that much on his chickens, ami if there is any smuggling done it is done by the Innocent and irresponsible biddies. BLUE ASBESTOS. Canada and Italy Have a Serloa Competitor ta Africa. Canadian and Italian asbestos will find a serious competitor in the blue as bostos recently discovered in the Cape Colony, since the South African product is less than half as heavy and furnishes fibers considerably finer and longer than any other, says the Detroit Tri bune. The South African fiber has be) worked into webs, which are but little inferior to those made of vegetable fiber, and are absolutely fireproof. Twine, cord and rope made of this blue asbestos will not only resist fire, but also most of the known chemicals, cor rosive vapors and atmospheric influ ences. These qualities will open a new field for the employment of asbes tos fabrics in chemical laboratories, and for the caulking of chemical apparatus. A novel application of this material is the working of blue asbestos fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They are cooler in summer and warmer in winter than those made either of ani mal hair or vegetable fiber, and no ver min can live in this mattress. Experi ments are now being made of working this filler into cloth for firemen's ap parel. Of course the long fiber blue as bestos can also be employed for all the uses to which white asbestos has been put heretofore. While a trifle more ex pensive, its superior qualities make it well worth the difference. CANNON BALL STORY. Alfred GrUom Tell of a Narrow Es cape In Alabama. Alfred Grissom, the manager of the Bummer excursion boats, has a cannon ball story which he says is Gospel truth. People in the excursion business have a strict regard for veracity, and many of his friends believe every word of it, says the St. Louis Republic. Several years ago, the story runs, Mr. Grissom was in St. James parish, La. He had occasion to visit a sawmill where the big cottonwool! logs were be ing cut into lumber. His attention was attracted to a particularly large log, when suddenly there was a loud crash, like that of the teeth striking a nail. Windows were broken, men shouted and the machinery was stopped. Mr. Grissom was not hurt as he had im agined. Something had happened and he stopped to see the cause. The big log was removed from the rack and split open. A large cannon ball was imbedded in the center. The saw had struck it and broke into a myriad of pieces which flew in all directions. Five pieces pnssed through his hat, one struck his watch and glanced off, an other hit a silver dollar in his vest pocket and left a scratch along its sur face. Luckily, none of the flying par ticles struck his body or did other in jury than break a few panes of glass in the office compartment. A S1UCK-UP CAT. Kansas City Kitten That Fooled with Vly Paper. A small, gray kitten in Kansas City walked back and forth in a store win dow the other duy; conscious of her graceful appearance she yf ted her feet daintily and curled her tail up over her back. Suddenly a noise in the store startled her, and ehe lowered her head and dropped! her tail, as she turned stealthily to Investigate. This was a mistake. For the tail came in contact with n piece of sticky fly paper, and all the efforts she made to remove it but increased her discomfiture and humili ation. She shook her lithe body, and the tail was wagged vigorously, but the paper held her faster and tighter than It ever held a fly. She put her foresaw down; it stuck. Her little hind paw came to the rescue, and was held where it fell. Frantic and mewing piteously, nhe rolled over nnd over, till enwrapped in a drapery of flypaper, she. tumbled off the window platform and was gone No one knew where or how, with but two feet free and those on corners diag onally opposite, she had managed to get out of sight and hearing. Hut she did it, and the flypaper went with her. HE HAD A GLASS EYE. Ulnnder of a I'liyali'lan That Caused , Mncli Concern. I Several victims of an accident were taken to the hospital one day lately, Bays the Cincinnati Kuquirer. Two of them were thought to be seriously hurt. A man, who may Ite called Smith, was badly cut and bruihcd, nnd internal in juries were feared. He had a bad heart, nnd had not regained consciousness when the ambulance reached the hos pital. An Interne felt his pulse, and, carefully pushing back the lid of one of the eyes, ga.ed earnestly at it. "Poor fellow, there's no hope for him," he announced. "The pupil of his eye is greatly dilated, and thnt'a a cure sign where thern is heart trouble." A little later one of Smith's friends called at the hospital and inquired uUmt liim. The young physician repeated what he had isiiid before, explaining the method by w hich he arrived at hit conclusion. "Which eye was it you looked at?" queried the friend. "The right eye." "Well, there's a peculiarity about Smith's right eye." "That so? What is it?" inquired the young doctor, with scientific interest. "It's a glass etc," said Smith's friend, and the next day Smith was discharged from the hospital. 'William (ioea Armed.

There is a venerable and benevolent judge in Paris who, at the moment of passing sentence on a prisoner, con sults his assessors on each side of him as to the penalty proper to be inflicted. "What ought we to give this rnsval, brother?" he says, bending over to the assessor on the right. "I should say three years." "What is your opinion, brother?" to the assessor on the left. "I should give him about four years." The judge, with benevolence: "Pris Ler, not desiring to give you a long and severe term of imprisonment, as 1 should have done if left to myself, I have consulted my lcurned brothers and shall tke their advice.

Methods by Which They are Converted Into Strong Fliers, With tbe advent of winter nod the proeprot of tbe first fall of enow tbe trap shooting at livo birds begins. Ouder the oriep air and the strong breezes that nsually prevail during tbe season that Jack Frost is iu evidence, the pigeons, poor viotims of the fxpert gunners, tty faster than in tbe warmer months. As sooo as tbe autumn mua turn me leaves to russet and gold the cultivation of biids for tbe traps begins. Strong flying birds are harder propositus for tbe marksmen than less game pigeons, and in maoy a contest a good, musoulBr bird baa carried a load of shot beyond the boundary nod been returned ss a "lost bird," where a dove with a mini mum of speed and endurance would be able to fly but a few feet with a score of shot as an additional weight to curry. Tbe system of exercising the birds so that tbey beoome strong and musoular is ingenious. Tbey are trained to tly rust, tbe work occupying abont a mouth, and at tbe end of that time they are ss strong as youog gulls. The system that is rec ognized as Ibe best by many trap shoot ers was introduced by Mr. Elliott, of Kansas City, several years ago, end daring tbe past three seasons has been adopted in tbe east. . It consists of allowing the birds tbe tha freedom of a large cage about 100 feet long. Each moroiog and evening two men with long whips, tbe lush being a strip of red Annuel, enter tbe CBge, and by frightening the birds, oomiel them to fly continuously (or ao boor each session. This method gives the birds tbe neoes aary exercise to make them strong enough to be a formidable mark for the most expert gunner. Another method for making fast flying birds tbat is in vogue in many plaoes oo Long island and in New Jersey is to feed tbe young pigeons in the morning, and then drive them out into the open. They will fly about ootil they beoome hungry, and Bgain return to tbe place where tbe morning meal was given them la this manner tbe birds are given tbe benefit of natural flight in tbe open, and when Anally orated aud shipped to the various oluba, bave all the advantages of wild pigeons in the matter of speedy flight. Tbe popularity of pigeon shooting from the trap is suob tbat great consignments of birds are shipped each week during tbe height of (he season from the west, as well as from tbe states of New Jersey , Pennsylvania and Maryland and from roosts on Long island. Slate colored, or "blue" birds, as they are technically termed, are Sought most earnestly and 75 cents a pair is tbe pre vailing price for pigeons of unit oolor and tbat are guaranteed to be fast. Ordinary pigeons are sold at 50 oeuts a pair, and a it is known tbat the birdt tbat esoape without being bit by the marksmen at the traps return home at Ibe earliest possible moment, it can be seen tbat the breeder is easily ahead of the game, for he is thus sometimes paid a number of times for tbe same bird Tbe more important shooting grounds have as maoy as 3,000 birds on bnud at a time in their sheds, or, more properly osges. The method of capturing them on tbe day of a tournament is unique. Two or three of the assistance of tbe priuoipal trapper, armed with a orate aud au ordinary "soap" net that is know almost exclusively as a weapon to capture crabs and other deuizeus of the deep, enter the shed. The pigeons, io alarm, tW from one end uf tbe enclosure to another, and are deftly snared in tbe cot. A few quick twirls and the bird is so bewildered that he is plucked from tbe meshes of tha net aud thrust io tbe orate ready to be wheeled out to the Bring point before he ret lizes that he is a prisoner.
