EMANATIONS FROM THE BODY Students of Photography Have for Some Time Recognized Them ae to Be Guarded Against. Major D'Anget's reported discovery of the photographic powers of the human body, or of supposed emanations from it, may contain newdetails of interest, but the general principle will not appear startling to those who have had experience in photography. Many photographers - % % * " " * nave learned from experience that it is not well to handle extremely sensitive dry plates more than is absolutely net* ssary?that, indeed, it is best while developing them to keep them at arm's length from their bodies, and even to screen them with some nonconducting substance; and they have found now and then on plates strange marks and blurs and fogs which were inexplicable save on the theory of aclinic emanations from the body. The French discoverer may add some interesting information to what has thus long been known in a general way.?New York Tribune. SUN AS THE LAMPLIGHTER Novel System of Illumination That Is to Be Employed on the Panama uanai. The Panama canal, which is now nearing completion, is to have a novel system of illumination for its lighthouses. The gas used for the flame is acetylene, but the sun is to be the lamplighter! These lamps will he lit by a lamplighter nearly a hundred million miles away! The lamps will he filled with copper cylinders exposed to the air. When the sun rises in the morning its rays will cause the cylinders to expand, and so close valves which admit gas to the burners. As the sun goes down and the air cools the copper cylinders will contract, so opening the valves and admitting gas to the burners, where it will be lighted by small pilot-jets resembliug the or dinary by-pasa.

Professors in \}ie universities throughout South America are often men who practice their professions at the same time as they teach. Lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects, newspaper men, publishers and editors make up the faculty, says Dr. Edgar E. Brandon, who hns just returned to Washington after a year spent in the study of educational institutions in South America. These men teach probably only three or four hours a week, but they come right in from the actual practice of their profession to do this. They are all men of considerable learning and high reputations in their communities. The best physicians, the best lawyers, and even the high state ! officials all willingly accept profesi sorships in any "of the colleges. This lends a certain dignity to the institutions which is sometimes lacking in the United States in spite of our better teaching methods. These j men, of course, ewnnot make a living from teaching alone, but they combine their own profession with teaching in order to supplement their income. , In proportion to the I time given to teaching, professors are better paid in Latin America than in this country.

Hard Luck. e The pastor of the Fort Mil f Presbyterian church and his boy! fell on hard (?) luck during tin recent holiday season. On returning home after at eleven days' visit to relative! |. and friends, instead of beinj allowed to plod home througl the mud. thev were nrevaile< upon to ride in a surrey; anc instead of finding their home ii darkness and unoccupied, as thei had a right to expect, they fount it brilliai.t'y\lighted and fillet with boys and girls, men ant le women; and in place of beinf permitted to feast on cannet goods and crackers, which the; x" had planned to do, they wer forced to spread for that crowd; more than sixty of them, re member?a bountiful supper o , | the choicest substantials am ' i dainties (supplied by the visitor themselves) and were not al y lowed to let up until all had eatei enough, and indeed until th male members of the Presby terian choir (the tenor excepted had eaten too much. But not content with tha they piled on us turkey, ham flour, sugar, coffee, canned goods, canned fruits, apples, oranges, candies, etc., not quite ad infinitum, but certainly galore. But that's not all; the pastor himself is now going around supported by a beautiful staff and umbrella combined, the direct result of a well aimed and effective blow struck at his heart by his Bible class. One of our successful merchants who was present and took part in the "imposition" was heard to remark: "1 missed my calling. I ought to have j oeen a preacher. well, my < brother, a preacher has his hardships and trials, but he certainly has his joys and pleasures when his lot is cast among a good people like the people of Fort Mill. Lest my friends should be anxious about my condition after the experiences reported above, I desire to say for their assurance that I bore all stoically and was even game enough to invite the intruders to repeat the dose whenever they so desire. And now. Brother Splinter, c 1 this is what I call hard luck, and I it' you agree with me extend to c me your hand of sympathy, gmd 8 stop writing about "Old Betsy" E I and rabbit hunting.
