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

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.
ARE THESE CIRCASSIAN?
Two quaint daggers?Ihe pair belong
in one sheuth, and are worn
alung across tlie body from the right
shoulder?are believed to be Circassian,
and are owned by George . W.
IthoadoB. The bone-handled weapons
have keen blades, eight inches
long. One handle is wrapped with
brass wire, and the other with copper.
Circassian, or Tcherkesses, is n
general term applied to the northwestern
group of peoples inhabiting
the region of the Caucasus, now included
in Prussian territory. There
are many tribes and the blood it
much mixed. They have few manufactures,
but they have skill in making
rugs, weapons and the like
Many of their women have decided
beauty. Circassians are brave and
hospitable, but vindictive.
Their subjugation was completed
in 18G4, when many thousands oi
them emigrated to Turkey.

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.

LIFE SAVED BY YOUNG HERO.
By sucking the poison from &

1 , l?y a copperhead sua Ice, Holler Driver,
a 12-year-old hoy of Rockingham
county, Ya., a few days ago saved a

hunting squirrels when the older

in the situation in a moment,
the younger hoy ripped ?IT his suspenders
and tied them tightly
around his brother's ankle to stop
the circulation of blood and then applied
himself to extracting the
' venom. Making his brother com1

. ! 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
