By the novel process known as “aero-photography” with the new apparatus due to the Austrian engi neer Scheimpflug, some wonderful results in this field have been secured. ; It has long been desired to use the 1 camera to take bird's-eye views of ! the ground when sailing at some height in a balloon, but up to the ! present this has not been of much I practical use in making photographic maps. The problem is solved in a most ingenious way by the inventor, who J uses a number of separate cameras ! pointing all around the ground. But as the photographs are all on the usual square plates, it is impos sible to match them for the map, and, besides, all but one of the views are taken obliquely to the ground— only the central view is a straight down view, and the rest are unsuit able for a map. However, by the use of another instrument known as “perspecto graph,” he takes the usual plate and makes from it a corrected plate, and this enables all the plates to be matched into a single large map. SHORTENED TO PET NAME Pickaninny Had Been Given Peculiar Christian Nomenclature In Honor of Rockefeller. The train stopped at the little Georgia town and the tourist saun tered out to the observation plat form. ‘‘Rather likely pickaninny you have there, uncle,” remarked the j traveler, good humoredly. ‘‘Xamed (ieorge Washington ?” “No, sail,” laughed the colored man on the baggage truck. “Dat child’s name am Retro.” ‘‘Retro? Why, that’s a queer sounding name for a pickaninny.” “Might seem a little queeh to you, sail, but Massa Rockefeller was down heah some time ago an gib me a quahtah for totin’ his grip. All named de pickaninny in his liouah, , sah.” “But Rockefeller’s first name is John.” “Yeas, sah, but yo’ see dis chile’s j! full name am Petroleum, en we calls 1 him Retro for short.” PRACTICAL HELP. General Superintendent DeBer nardi of the Missouri Pacific, who rose to that position from a job as section boss, looked out of a window of his private car at Osage City dur ing a conference with a delegation ot business men and saw' three rag ged children playing along the track and munching drv bread. Taking a handful of apples and bananas from the buffet, he beckoned to them, “Can I take it to marnma? She's sick,” asked a boy in the group. He ran toward a house where the blinds were drawn. “George,” said the general superintendent to the chef, “is there any chicken in the ice box ?” “Yes, sah,” answered George. “Just take it to the house across the way. There’s a woman sick there,” he ordered. LOOK OUT EDGAR, TOM, GEORGE! Prisoner (arrested for drunken ness)— I may be weak, your honor; but I’m not such a soak as Poe, such a dop£ fiend as De Quincy, such a rake as Byron— Judge (sharply)—That will do. Thirty days!

Waiter—That’s to keep the butter from slipping ofT, sir.—Judge.
