And long that night Mr. Hayne sat there thinking, partly of what the doc tor bad said, but mere of what had oc curred during the Iatfl afternoon. Mid night was called by the sentries. He went te his deer and looked out en the breed, bleak prairie, the moonlight glint ing en the tin reefing of the patch of buildings ever at the station far across the dreary level and glistening en the patches of snow that here and there streaked tlie surface.

He passed en around the fence and took a path that led te the garget ranges north of the pest and back of officers' row, thinking deep ly all the while; and finally, re-entering the garrison by the west gate, he came down along the hard graveled walk that passed in circular sweeps the office and and the big house of the colonel com manding, and then bore straight away lu front of the entire line.

', 4, Fifty years age last' summer Leuis Jaquee Mnnde Daguerre gave te tbe world the discovery which was te be the forerunner of the photograph of today. He received in return from the govern ment of France a life pension of 91,900 a year, and new that a half century has gene by tbe photographers or America, very properly, have decided te erect a monument te the man who may well be called the father of an art. The memo rial project was set en feet last fall at a convention in Washington. It was de cided te honor the memory of Daguerre with some lasting tribute te his genius, and when details came te be discussed the principal points settled upon were: The memorial should, be a monument; it should stand in front of the Smithsonian institution, and the limit of cost should be $10,000. J. S. Hartley, of New Yerk, is the sculptor. He is new making a model in clay of his design. The monument will show Daguerre crowned by Fame with the laurel which reaches around the glebe, emblematic of the world wide benefit which photography has been te mankind. The monument proper will stand 11 feet high. The pedestal and glebe will be in granite, the head of Daguerre in bronze. Cormeilles, a little town near Paris, was the birthplace of Daguerre, and he first saw the light in 1787. In early life he was a scene painter, and in 1833 opened a diorama in Paris, for which ha painted pictures en an enormous scale. He frequently employed tbe camera ebscura in the sketches which he mode from nature, and the idea occurred te him that Berne means might be discov ered by which these camera ebscura pictures might be permanently retained. About 1824 he began his experiments, and tolled Incessantly for years. Acci dent brought his experiments te a tri umphal issue. He found that iodide of silver en a pelibhed copper plate wa sensitive te light, and when exposed in a camera faint images were impressed, which would gradually fade away, and could net be retained. "One day," says a recent writer, "Da guerre removed from his camera a plate which, either from the shortness of ex posure te the light or the darkness of the day, showed no sign of en image. He laid this plate aside in a cupboard, in tending te clean the surface and use it some time again. What was his surprise en taking out the same plate the next morning te find upon its surface a dis tinct and perfect picture! Anether plate waa quickly exposed for an equally short Ume in the camera, and again placed in the magic cupboard te remain ever night; and en going te it the second morning h discovered another beautiful picture. L. J. M. DAODERRE. "The question new was w hlch of the numerous chemicals stored in this cup board produced the marvelous effect. He finally learned, by taking out one chemical each day, that it was a dish of mercury whose vapors produced the magical result, and he at once proceeded te apply the discovery practically." Te "fix" the developed Images Daguerre employed hypesulphite of soda, and one day the "med inventor" introduced his new process te the Parisian world. He created a sensation, gained honor and renown and will live in history as the founder of an art that is year by year approaching nearer te perfection. Aa English Lad's Net.1 Mount.

Hit safe ie aay that the secret of jumping is none 'ether than that attributed te nearly all ath letic games where activity tha predominat ing tester. A wrestler before be can bring about f ere Mfflciaat te put hi antagonist where he wants him matt concentrate certain miMcles for an effort Jumping requires the mm concentration, but It must be of quicker aetlen. , There are many different kind of leaping, rat few inen are geed at mere than one or two stylet. Tbe reason f or tab is -that there blanch a diversity of action la the various jumplBg events, and few style of jumpiug will develop the muscles used In ether style. Bread jumping, which mean clearing a dis tance, ts the easiest te understand, although mere are rawer geed periurmers at It tbaa at high jumping. This is because of th diffi culty In practicing bread jumpiug, for be fore one can try, for Inttance, th running bread jump a level place, 75 or 100 feet long, must be found. High jumping needs only a space of SO or 40 feet and can be practiced in a gymnasium almost as well as out of doers. It Is net se with bread Jumping, for tk ' athlete te have confidence must laud In soft dirt, and even though there are gymnasium with a clear space of 100 feet, a box of dirt for athletes te land la ten or Of teen fest long and a toot deep would teke op tee much space and be tee much of a general nutsauce te justify its presence. It can readily be seen that when tlie facilities for practicing high jumping are se much better than theas given for clearing a distance, the latter gamoshebld hav fewer geed performers, even though It I a simpler exercise. Bread jumping, how hew aver, is mere of a test of a man1 spring than high jumping, for there is lew science in it. Running bread jumping consist simply of an athlete running up te a mark en the greuud and springing from one feet, lauding In soft dirt dug up for the purpose se that there will be no Injury caused bya jar from coming in contact with hard ground. Th athlete gauges his run se that a certain feet will al ways be at the take off, which is the Una from where he springs. In this way the necessary muscles will be developed In the leg used te spring with. The only part in the jump that shows any degree of science Is in taking off properly. This means te get the feet en the line where the measurement Is made properly, se that no distance will be lest by talcing off or stepping - RUNNING IltlOAD JUMP. Frem oil Instantaneous photograph 1 back from that line. The take off line con sists of a joist C inches wide and 3 or 4 inches thick, sunk Audi with the ground with tbe 6 Inch surface up. Its length Is Immaterial, and may range auywhere from 3 te 8 feet long, according te the width of th jumping path. A ditch Is dug In front of th joist or en th side toward tbe direction the jump Is made. Tbe rules say that this ditch shall be at least 0 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Its purpose Is te prevent the athlete from teeing ever tbe line while jumping, for it can readily be seen that although ene may encroach two or three Inches ever tbe miniature precipice, any further getting forward would result in tbe feet slipping down in tb ditch while in the act of jumping, which of course weul 1 prevent even an ordinary distance being cleared. . The place wbore the athlete lands is dug up te tbe depth of aleut a feet. Its nearest edge te the take off Is about 14 feet and Its furthest edge SO feet from tbe scratch line. Th length of this trough all depends upon tbe class of athletes that use it. If an atblet jumps ever 23 feet he should land in dirt dug up te a distance of 27 feet, se that there is no possibility of his sliding as he lands In the oft dirt, and being stepped suddnnly against tbe bard ground. Accidents of this kind have happened which have laid athletes en tbe shelf for some time with a sprained anil or a strained tendon in a feet. Te explain the take off a little further, it may be mentioned that tbe reason of It pres ent construction is se that fouls ran be easily judged. Tbe old custom was te have simply a whitewash line en the level path If an athlete should tee ever a quarter of an Inch r se it would be apt te cause a dispute. Tbe suggestion of a ditcb marking the scratch line would of course be considered imprac ticable unless a square edje could be main tained. Therefore a beard is sunk. All jumps are measured from the edge of tbl beard, which is also tbe edge of tbe preci pice. If an atblete touches tbe greuud in front of this ditch it is a foul, and as the ex cavation is 0 Inches wlde no one can touch the ground without getting almost tbe whole feet In front of tha take off an te the flat ground even in front of tbe ditcb, and of course any judg would notice that. Th joist is specified te be Cinches wide, because that distance 1 sufficient te cover the ball of the feet If the beard were wider it would Interfere with the spikes in the jump, cr'sbeel. A great many athletes, when they first try a running bread jump with spike shoes, show timidity in running up te the scratch mark and placing their feet en the beard en ac count of the feeling that tbe spikes will stick in th weed and threw them. A few trials at it, however, remove all fear in this re gard. Anether disagreeable feeling experi enced by novices Is caurl bv tbe llabilltv of be feet going ever tee far, slipping dawn In .he ditch bringing about a wreucbed muscl tr tendon. Accidents of this kind are fre (uent, and only after considerable practice an an athlete run up te the takeoff witb full force and feel sure of net going ever tee far, Tbe method used by most athletes In strik ing tbetake off properly Is te mark off at terae distance back a line en the path and itart running from that point, using a fairly regular stride which brings theru tetbetak ff with the prejicr feet. Berne have thelr niarks 100 or 125 feet an ay from the take off, while ethers will have an Indicator within SO or 40 feet of the take off. These who have mark around tbe latter distance generally run from 60 or 70 feet, and get a certain feet at their mark and increase their speed from that point J, S. Voorhees, wbe formerly held th best American amateur record at this game of 23 feat 7J Indies, commenced running at a mark 80 feet U inches away from the take off. He leaped from bis right feet, and would start teeing the bO root mark. He ran te tbe takeoff with regular stride, measuring but S or 4 feet at first, but near tbe take off reach ing in tbe neighborhood of 7 feet II was considered very geed at taking off, and would less no mere distance by teeing back of tbe Hue than is expected of any geed jumper.
