An interesting and useful discovery Jins, it is said, been recently made by two FreunhFvhotographic artists, who have 'USm'feW their allg&gLfr. means for bringing photography nearer •perfection than it is at present One de fect which has hitherto somewhat de tracted from the exactitude of photo graphic reproductions concerns colors. As is well-known to everybody, aligfit color—like yellow, for instance—comes out a good many shades darker in a pho tograph, while a dark one, such as blue, comes out much lighter. This is partic ularly noticeable in photographs of paint ings, especially when scenery or colored hangings or stuffs are reproduced, and to remedy the defect a good deal of time is spent in touching up such photographs. By the new method it is stated there will no longer be anything left to be desired in this respect, for yellow will not appear too dark nor blue too light The metal plates used are prepared with a solution of gelatino-bromide, a simple expedient that does not increase the cost and which has been shown by repeated ex periments to answer completely the pur pose in view. Artists, who have fre quently complained of photographic in accuracy in the matter of colors, will bo the first to appreciate the advantages of the new discovery, if it is as satisfactory in its results ns it Is described. in compa- pussecl reputation and at fair rates. Iti cases of losses occur ring, their friends placing business in £hoir hands can rely on their personal attention to their interests in settle ment of claims. They ask a call from property own ers before placing their insurance elsewhere. Terms as low. as any reli able, first-class companies. E. J. C. WOOD, SIBERIA OTT. James Stevenson, of the Geological Survey, has reported the discovery of several more ruined cave and cliff cities. ringprol>ertv again8t lire The most remarkable one is a village of 0 f unsurpassed reputu sixty-five underground dwellings near the summit of a volcanic foot hill in the Ban Juan region of Aiizona. The dwell ings were excavated after a common pat tern. They had no interior communica tion beneath the surface, and were ac cessible by means of square holes leading from the surface by a vertical shaft to the floor of the main room of the dwelling, foot-rests forming a ladder. Considerable debris was found in these fincient dwellings, an examination of which l<?d to the discovery of many curi ous illnstrating some of the social and do mestic customs of the extinct race. Stone mauls and axas, the implements used in excavating the dwellings; pottery bear ing a great variety ornamentation ; bone awls and needles of delicate workman- sliip; the metate, or family grinding- stone, for grain, its well-worn surface in dicating long use ; shell and obsidian or naments and implements of wood, were among the trophies. There were signs of intercommunication between this village and a dift" city some fifteen miles distant, pi so a new discovery, which indicated the contemporaneous inhabitancy of the two. .This city, or rather, cluster of villages, occupied the sides of a canyon, which has been christened Walnut Canyon. Notliiug indicating the use of metallic tools of any description was discovered. The surface of the wood of which the whirl was formed 1ml apparently been charred and then ground down to the re quired size and shape by rubbing it upon sandstone^—a shaft or reed similar to bam boo, a species entirely unknown in that region.

One evening, about dusk, says an ex change, a Texas gentleman of a scientific turn of mind was sitting on his front gallery, when his attention was called on an extraordinary meteorological conca tenation, ns circus men say. A peculiar shaped cloud seemed to reach down from the sky and draw itself up again, very ! much after the manner of those cyclonic clouds in Iowa. The gentleman was very much interested in this meteorolo gical perhubatiou, when it occurred to him that the peculiar cloud of water-spout might be nearer than the distant horizon, j Ho took off his hat and found that Ilia 1 surmise was correct Fastened to the rim of the hat by his hind claws was a j beautiful centipede about nine inches long. The peculiar phenomenon was produced by the insect drawing himself j up and letting himself down in his efforts 1 to find a nose or some other feature to hang on to in order to facilitate scent As the gentleman had a short nose the insect was foiled. It died shortly afterward by the gentleman acci dentally stepping on it about half a dozen times with the heel of his boot ROBT. POWELL, Agent, AIKEN, 8. C.
