struck. The sharp steel met the

Photographers Prefer It for Its Cheap-
and Quality.
Ran kin Kennedy, in a paper on
the use of the photographic electric
light, says that, although the electric
light has done good service to tho
photographer In tho past. It will
have to give way to the arc light in
the higher fields of artificial light
photography. Artificial light varies
much in quality, and tho
seeks, above all, to secure
the amount of photographic
light at the lowest cost and with the
least labor and trouble. It Is a
fact that all ordinary lights are
made up of seven or more different
colored series of rays, some being
bluish, some yellowish like gas and
incandescent electric light. The
arc light is very rich in the blue and
violet rays on which tho photograph-
so much depends to do his best,
work, while it is poverty stricken In
reds and yellows, which, however,
do not produce any effect on the
plate. Tho incandescent
light has very little of the blue and
the violet rays, and, according to
measurements made by Mr. Kennedy,
the arc thirty percent,
more photographic or actinic rays
than the incandescent light of the
same Illuminating power. To illus-
the value of the respective
lights for this purpose, Mr. Ken-
took photographs, first of
object thrown on to a screen in the
focus of an ordinary hand-fed arc
lamp, and then of the same object
under the illumination of an
descent lamp run up in candle power
far the normal standard, as
used in tho incandescent photo
After exactly tho same
exposure the plate developed from
the incandescent light was very
faint, whereas the print taken from
the arc light, was dense and
decided. Mr. Kennedy compared
the cost of the respective lights, put-
ting down the incandescent at about
an hour for studio purposes
and the ore coats an hour. The
reason of the high cost at the
descents is that they arc necessarily
heated to a high power, and
this volatilizes the carbon, which
forms a deposit on the globe and
makes the light more dim every time
it is turned on, so that a photograph-
can never count absolutely on the
same light from while
from tho arc the light is always
form, and an operator can count on
giving exactly the same exposure in
every instance. Mr. Kennedy holds
that the incandescent photo light Is
destined to failure, first, from a com-
point of view, owing to the
enormous cost for current and re-
and secondly, from a
point of view, as when
heated even to the highest candle
power it docs not contain the
photographic rays in sufficient
The Prodigious Increase of the Rabbit
Population of New Zealand.
Two pairs of rabbits were orig-
taken to New Zealand for
purpose of stocking the island with
some small game, and turned loose.
The rabbits gradually faded from
the public mind. Seldom, says J. M.
Ingram In Magazine,
were they seen by human eyes. But
time passed. The rabbits improved
each shining hour to increase their
numbers. They were multiplying by
a ratio of their own The
semi-tropical character of the
mate enabled one brace of animals
and their forty-eight
months to for one
million two hundred and fifty thou-
sand of kittens.
After a few start the result
of this productive activity began to
be observed. Rabbits appeared in
diverse places. Soon they

larger proportions; the pro-
portions continued to extend. Like
a ripple started on a placid lake,
which soon touches

torrents from the canyons of the

Why arc there so many bachelors

modern young girls, and the blame
must rest with their mothers. Con-
sider the life of a girl belonging to
the upper class from the age of
eighteen to twenty-eight; it is a care-
less, selfish, irresponsible epoch, in
which the daughter studies her own
convenience and pleasure solely, and
the mother, by foolish Indulgence,
aids and abets her.

Then, perhaps, some young man
of modest means comes along and
offers bis heart and hand to the

If she marries her suitor can only
offer her a much smaller house than
that to which she has been

duties of wife, and later, often-

Cut with an imagination that has

girl rushes in where angels fear to
and the pure, warm love.,
which, coining from a fresh, innocent
heart, Isa safeguard to many a man,
is denied her lover.
Meanwhile the happy years of
early womanhood, when nil the
world is kind, roll by, and the Rubi-

There arc more women
than men in the state of New York.
The universal law governing such
matters makes the female
of a long settled country or dis-
higher than that of one newly
settled or partly developed, and so
the New England states the
of women is in tho excess of
the number of men, while in the
western and Pacific states this is re-
versed.
There are sixty counties in the
state of York and in only
twenty-six of these do the male In-
habitants outnumber the female.
Oddly enough, and for no reason
is known, the excess of men is
greatest those counties which are j
nearest New York and Brooklyn, j
though in New York and Brooklyn
the women outnumber the men. la
this city the excess of female over
male inhabitants is In Brook-
it is On the other hand,
there are 1,300 more men than
women in more in
Putnam, 1,700 more in Richmond,
1,400 more in Rockland, and
more in Queens. In the large cities
of the slate and in the counties con-
large cities the women out-
number the men, and this is
the case in tho county of
which includes tho
laundry town of Troy. By the last
federal census there were
men and women In
In Albany the excess of women is
in Onondaga in
in Monroe and in
1,200. Erie county, which
includes tho city of Buffalo, is an
exception, excess of male In-
habitants there being Why
Erie should be an exception to tho
other big counties containing big
cities is not entirely clear, but
the shipping interest which
centers in and about Buffalo has
something to do with it, the
population of that city being
very large.
As might naturally supposed,
a county which b the largest pro-
portion of male inhabitants and the
smallest proportion of women is
Hamilton, which includes the big
Adirondack preserve. By the last
census the male population of Hamil-
ton was the female
population was only In tho
adjoining county of Franklin there
arc more men than women and
Clinton there are nearly 1,500
more.
Tho migratory disposition of men
is much more pronounced than that
of women, and to this peculiarity,
in part, is to be traced the
which noticed in many
counties. It is a fact not generally
known that there is a higher male
than female birth rate, and if other
causes did not operate to reduce tho
disparity there would be in every
community more men than women.
The reason that this is not the case
is that the ratio of deaths due to ac-
and violence is much higher
among men than among women.
The casualties of warfare fall almost
exclusively on men. The victims of
murder, shipwrecks and accidents
are men chiefly. The majority of
suicides men. In this way the
higher birth rate is by the
higher death rate. It may be
in a general way, too, that the
nary laws of health are more gen-
observed by women than by

a varied assortment of the flags of
all nations, says the Boston Globe.
The flag lockers of a cruiser like tho
New York will contain more than
two hundred different ensigns.
All the flags for our navy are made
in the equipment building at the
Brooklyn navy yard. The floor of the
Bag room is covered with lines, rep-
resenting the exact measurements
of the various ensigns, and it is no
easy matter to turn out a flog which
will be exactly according to pattern,
both as to design and measurement.
There are colors us d In
blue, orange,
low, green, brown, black and canary
yellow.
The win yellow is used Instead
of white in lings used for signaling.
This is because is found that,

is called No. measures

Cruisers carry the stars i

only the Minneapolis and the De- j
fly the gigantic No. also.
The most difficult flag to make is

quires all of the colors, and Costa

Our own flag is by no means an
easy one to make. The forty-font I
stars in their blue field have be
accurately arranged, and the
mathematically exact according
the official pattern.
The Stars are made of muslin,
folded twenty-five times and
punched out by a eel punch,
which cuts a dozen or more stars at
each operation.
There arc used In the navy yard
fifty thousand yards of bunting an-
which all made in the
United States. Before being made
up into flogs the bunting is put to
very severe test. From each lot a
