has consented to the marriage of
Archduchess Elizabeth Marie, daugh
ter of the late Crown Prince Rudolph
of Austriajpund young Prince otto of
Windischgraetz, The bride-to-be is
in her nineteenth year. She is nt us

years older than the archduchess, is
a first lieutenant In a crack cavalry

his studies nt the military academy
and be attached to the general stntT.
The marriage will be a love match

royal house of VVuerttemberg last
winter, she informed him that she
had resolved to wed the man of her
irrespective of rank, and ad
According to authoritative an
noun.:ements, the government of Pan
ada bat decided t I nationalize the tele
craph.i atid the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chantauqnah. The
business elements are said to be near
ly unanimous in rapport of this re
form. The government counts on an
annual Mirpius of some 17,000,000, and
its income is Increasing under the
usual prosperity ol the country. It
has, therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not unsuccessfully. The
telephones, if taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, will be placed
in the hands of the respective munic
ipalities to be managed by them. It
is hardly necessary to add that the
employe- of the companies; are anx
ious to become the servants of the
state, knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
Canada Is only following the exam
ple of (treat Britain in this respect.
The telegraph was nationalized In
England about HO years nirn. and while
there have been complaints of Ineffi
ciency, reil tape and lack of progres
sive spirit on the part of the poat office
department, which controls it, there is
no agitation In favor of a return to
operation by private companies.

l was a camera a bout four feet wide
I nnd five feet high that stood all day
1 in front of a painting in the Wolfe
gallerj .
It required the united efforts of
three men to focus the instrument.
The operator said that the plates used
were the largest, ever made, and that
if he should fall to give the proper ex
posure, it would cost his firm $L'8.
The time required to f,ret a good pho
tograph of th painting was three
hours and a quarter, Three gallons
of developer and four of hyposulphite
of soda were used to fix the plate.
When asked why so long an expos
ure was necessary the operator said
that to get a full detail and color value
a yellow screen of glass, coated with
gelatine, dyed with picric acid, was
fixed in front of the lens. This screen
changed the picture that passed
through the ob jective to a yellow color
and softened the high lights of the
painting to such an extent that the
dark shadows gave up their detail just
ns rapidly ns the bright places. The
plate was prepared with bluo myrtle
chloropbyl in the emulsion, and this
decreased its regular sensitiveness at
least 50 per cent.

Archduchess Elizabeth was s:x
years old when her father died, ami
she has inherited his frankness, his
love of nature and outdoor sports, as
well as his melancholy and romantifl
tendencies. She is now quite a tall
girl, blonde, with beautiful blue eyes

Emperor Francis Joseph did not
break up the match, in accordance
with a declaration said to have been
made many years ago, that be would
not oppose any union wished for by
any members of his house, should the
marriage be the outcome of pure af
fection. Tli n i the venerable monarch
has been true to this sentiment is
evidenced by the fact that, only a few
vear.s niro a dau"rht."r of Archduke,
Joseph married the head of the house
of Thurn f Taxis, who belongs to
the same rank of nobility as Prince
Otto of Windischgraetz: while the
heir to the throne. Archduke Ffahl
Ferdinand, was morganatically mar

a year or so ago the emperor sanc

Archduchess Elizabeth is the em
peror's favorite grandchild and would
inherit the thrones of Austria and
Hungary, should the diet ever con
clude to revoke the Salic law. She
is deeply attached to the lonely old
man who has suffered more than any
other ruler of our times, and their
friendship has repeatedly been made
the topic of poetic effusions. On the
other hand, the archduchess has noth
