She had not been in the city more than five miniates before she had a sample of the cold inhospitable man- ner in which Cleveland treats her g'ueets. In fact, she had nut kft the Union station before she discovered that beT satchel, containing all her belongings, including her extra cloth- ing and cash, bad beeu purloined by a sneak thief.

According to information which has come to this cotmlry, the problem of photography, which has been so long experimented with, and \hich has been declared soUed so many t.mes, only Co discoii'er that the announcement was premature, has been at last solved by M. Villedieu-Chaasagne, of Paris. The French experimenter has been at work on various solutions for a long time. It will be remembered that pre- vious efforts to secure chromatic photo- graphy have been made with prepara- tions in powder form and on the nega- tive M. Villedieu-Cha!«agne overthrows both of these principles and uses solu- tions instead of powders and operates upon the positive instead of the nega- tive. Within the last fortnight experi- ments have been made in London by Sir H. Trueman Wood, the secretary of the Society of Arts, and Captain W. I^Arcey, with a view to testing Ville- dieiu-ChaiBagne's process. While both of the English experi- menteiTS started in upon their inquir- ies with decided scepticism, they were converted, if tiot entirely, still to a very notable degree, tu the Frencb in- ventor's theories. The Villedieu-Chas- sa^ne process was originaUy suggested by Dr. Adrian Bonsac, but the recent developmenl of it has gone very far toward destroying all ot the details of the Bansuc process, leaving only bis theory behind. The demcnstxation took place In a laboratory of King's College, in Luii- don. The genulemen who were pre- sent were Professors 'Ihomsoa and Her- bert Jackson, of King's College ; Sir H. Trueman Wood and Captain D'Abney. According to the description of the ex- periments which is given by the secre- tary uf the Society of Arts the colors of the natural object are produced with a wcnderfUi similarity in the photo- graph. Sir H. Tinieman Wlood says:â€" PRACTICALLY SOLVED. "To say that Viiledieu-Ohassagne's process enables photographs to be produced in natural colors would not perhaps be strictly true, since coloring media axe introduced, but the result of the process is a photogri^h in the colors of nutUre, a faithful reproduc- tion in color of the object photograpb- ed, and so for all practical purposes it may be said that the long sougbt oh- jecC oC photographing in colors has act- ually been botaineU." Villedieli-ChJaiague insists at pres- ent on keeping secret the nature uf the four solutions he employs; but this sec- recy will be broken, be promises, upon the perfecticfli of the recording of the invention in the various countries of Burope. A negative is taken on a gela- tine plate prepared by treatment uith one of his solutions. This is developed and fixed in the ordinary manner. Ic sho'.vs no (race of color. From ic a print is taken on gloss or pai>er, the plate or paper twing especially pre- pared by treatment with the some so- lution. " . 'the transiuirency of the paper pi'int in no way differs in outward appear- ance (ritu an ordinary positive, and shows no truce of color by transmit- ted cr by reflecced light. 'I'ne print is then washed over »,a-cessively with the three ci^ored solutions prepared by Villedieti-Chossagae, of blue, green and red, and the print takes up the ap- prupriate colors in appropriate pans, the three ccjore giving by their vari- ous combination-s all varieties of hue. Sir U. 'Irtieman Wood, in comment- ing upon this phenomenon says:â€" "Hjiv it is th.il this pKrwer is se- lective absorption Is given to the com- ponents of the t)uoiographic imiigeâ€" principally, of C(.|:r9e, metallic silver â€" is, it ap^jeors tu me, the interesting question connected wiih the process. The action, is certnioly previously un- known, and it; will as ivrt.-vinly repay scientific inveKtigalim." 'rbe English invest igaCors declined to b© convince.l by the aiK'Te inspection of the finisher! resvilt, and the inven- tor demonstrated :iJl the details of the process to them. They took a njmber of photographs themselves on the day before the exjieriment. SIM fLE COLORING. The light, ihey say. upcai that oc- casion was extreme.Iy bad, the sky be- ing overcast, an diinfavorable atmos- pheric ccnclitiiius pre^"ailed. Notwith- standing this, h^^MeveJ•. the positives, which were williiii twenty-fc^r hours after the negative, showed with perfect distinctne.ss, when treated according to the Viileilieu-Chasctigne prcce.ss. the colors of a bunch ot flowers which the se«reT,ary of the Society of Arts had bought at Covent Garden. The com- binatiim of colors in such a subject can be readily understixxl. Photographs of s.i'ojecis not pcssessing such brilliant tints were equally successful. The exjierimones of the Engli.shmen wnere confined to gelatine films, but the inventor treated with cK>mplete suc- sess si^me paper positives he ihad brcwght from Paris. These are de- scribed as lookini? like ordinary silver prints, toned wilh gold. Captain ly-VUney. in describijig the quality ot the solutions, declares that the coloring is of a very simple nature. "There are three dyes," he writesâ€" "a crimson red, a |;:rass green and a very good blue, all in solution and pro- bably mixed with some other ingredi- ent besiiles water. There is what we may call a tuordanft, in the shaiw of a c<>Iorless liquid, containing, I should say. albumen and salt "The List liquid is brushed copiously aver the face of the iMjsitive on the siU M- print and the blue dye applied a lid 1 â-  .-vt a time. It w8is declared that the cdtTing miusit tak* place in good daylight. Ths btoie dye rapidly takes hiild of those poitions of iho Murf.ice which represent in mouochrome blues lu the origiii.ll. ' â-  -' . •> "For instance, a chins vase will take the blue lint, an'l the face or hands a fainit amikint of the' samei color. The green dye is applied in the same man- ner, and the greens in the original m.ike their appearance in the positive as do the red tints. Finally, the print or posili.e pre*.ents a picture in colors, umlerlying which is the dark bruiwn silvter imuge. It appears that the im' aige takes up seilectively these thrso ct^lors, but Nvhy it lakes them np it is hard to see. I have a portrait done by him ,'in the manner descril>ed, and Che negative has evidently been re- tcuchel wilh a pencil. It is hard to underatanil why a pencil mark could be the cause of selective abson>tion of the colors. That the success oi the process does nut depend upon Che inventor's intervention is quite evident. Were it the negative which took up the color one might understand the matter better." COST OF DIFFERENT LIGHTS ExpcBM af Ike Blflrri-nl iwrta of Artlflelal UKkm. The director of the electrical company of Cologne baa made a comparison of the cost of the different sorts of ar- tificial lights, reduced to the same standard of illuminating power. As the cost of materials for illuminating var- ies in different localities, he bos tak- en the cost of coal gas at ninety-one cents per thousand cubic feet ; of al- cohol for use in incandescent lampj, at thirty cents a gaUon; of coal oil at fifteen cents a gallon ; and of electricity at one and three-fourths cents per hectowatt. Supposing the " manstis " of the Incandescent gas burners to lost 400 hours, and to cost fifty cents each, and other apparatus to have the avera^ life, he finds the most e-tpensive ordinary light to l;« that from the incandescent electric lami'.s, which cost ten cents per hour, for a given amount of illumination. Next comes the l^ght from ordinary gas burners, with openings in the form of slits, which cost six cents for the same illumination. Argand burners, are, light for light, about 20 per cent, more economical than the other sort. Next to these come incandescent lamps burn- ing alcohol, which give light at half the price of the ordinary gas burner. Ordinary coal oil lamps give light much more cheaply, the co-tt per unit of il- lumination lieing little more than one- fifth that of an incandescent electric light, but the mixlem ga.-' lights with Lnoandercent mantels are still more ec- onomical, furnishing for one and three- quarter cents per hour the same amount of illumination as in'-andescent electric lamps at ten cents. Electric arc lamps are al>out 10 per ceml. more ec- ooom'cal still, and ar-! the cheapest sources of artificial light at present known to us. BIRTH MONTH STONES. The very latest craze in many of the fashionable cagilais is t le wear- ing of birth-month stones, and, strange to say it emanated in remote Poland. Women there, according to an old le- erend, are saved all manner of ills by wearing the guardian charm of the month in which they were born; and men, too, if given such gems by a woman are also saved and benefited. Here is the true list. There are var- ieties, but the one given is direct from Poland: Januiuy â€" Garnet; constancy. Feiirusryâ€" xViiiethyst ; sincerity. IMarchâ€" Bloodstone ; courage, wisdom.

In February last 34 couples were simultaneously joined together in holy matrimony. The ceremony was very pretty, all Ihe brides and bride- grooms wearing Breton costumes, and walking in procession round the town, followed by their fathers and mothers, their brothers, their sisters, their ccons- ins, and Iheirauuts. The wedding break- fast was laid out in detachments, hard- ly a building in the village being ex- empt from making room for a portion. There were 2,000 guests distributed among the lofts, barns and kitchens ; plates were conspicuous by their ab- sence and a dish of food was supplicil to every four persons. The feaiivilies lasted tor a week, and included many curious old Breton customs. t '^^ .^^ '. HEALTE OF THM Mil. ILLNESS OF ROYALTY IH" FOOTI . COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.

Sever I'reB From Fainâ€" Clan* Uka^ of .Warriaxe Ibe t'uiue of tke Trosble.^ A correspondent, writing from Lott- • - - don says that there is no exaggeration* whatever in the whispered reiiorts at the feeble health which afflicts tha Czar, the next two heirs to tha Aus- trian crown, the Prince of Naples and the Emperor of Germany. Any of tbees personages is liable to the sudden grip of the dread enemy. ,,^ As for the Czar, hia real trouble- ia "J consimiption. and a long life for him is impossible. His present illness, ascrib- ed to neuralgia of the face, is really brain worry. It is not caused by tha sl-ght wound which he received a few years ago from the attack of awouldr be assassin In Japan, but by the unfor- Cunace illness which came a fear waejoi ago to the Empress and frustrated tha hope of a male heir to the throne. True, there is the Emperor's lirother, but ha is slowly dying of consumption, and the Czar himself ia of opiuion. that wrexw < be to die, and the crown devolve upon his little daughter, she and the Em- press, who would be Regent would cer- tainly become the speedy prey of tha regicide's bullet or bomb. Russia would never submit to the regency of a Ga*" m -* n princess. THE FAULT IS Di MARRIAGB. The health of the young Prlnoa Naples bos not been Improved by Recent marriage to the Ptinceaa o* . ,j Montenegro. Ai for the Emperor Wil- j|l*» S liam, he is never entirely free Iroia %.» pain, and it is now staled that the ul- oeratioaof Che ear ia gradually extend- ing Co Che brain, and that must maaa madness or deach. The cause, perhaps, of this genaral condicion of affairs in so many royal families must be traced to the cloaa k nship of the moariagoa they contract, and the unfortunate laws whl^h pre- vent crown princes from choosing wives from the ranks of their healthy counr- trywomen, not of royal lineage. Tha Queen and the Prince of Wales are ar- dent reformers in this direction, as ia shown by Che marriages they have per- micted their chiMreu to contract.
