CAMERA TO STOP SCORCHING. 



Police Prefect Lepine, of Paris, is prepar- 

 ing to put in operation an ingenious ap- 

 paratus intended to put a stop to the 

 scorching of automobiles along the Champs 

 Elysees. He is planning to fix cameras 

 on pivots at certain points along the street. 

 They will be so arranged that when a ma- 

 chine whizzes past the point they will set 

 in motion chronographs. The apparatus 

 also includes an arrangement by which the 

 chronographs will stop at a certain given 

 distance. By this means the prefect expects 

 to furnish unerring evidence of speed vio- 

 lations. 



One of the latest photographic wonders 

 is a machine capable of receiving impres- 

 sions at the rate of 2,000 a second — 30 or 

 40 times as fast as the ordinary cinemato- 

 graph. It is hoped that with it insects' 

 wings in motion may be photographed and 

 the problem of flight solved. — The Photog- 

 rapher. 



"Hope ye've got some variety about yer 

 show," said the manager of the Plunkville 

 Grand Opera House, as he laboriously af- 

 fixed his signature to the contract. 



"Lots of it," replied the gentlemanly ad- 

 vance agent. "Our performance comprises 

 circus, comic opera, ballet, vaudeville, com- 

 edy, concert, grand opera, minstrels, trag- 

 edy, drama, pantomime, and extravaganza." 



The local manager looked disappointed. 



"Hain't ye got no mind reader ner hyp- 

 notic perfesser?" he inquired. — Pittsburg
