A LONDON DDG CEMETERY And Some of the Epitaphs on the Stones. One of the oddest little corners of London is the Dog Cemetery, with its regularly laid out graves and chiseled headstones and their unique inscrip- tions. A quarter of a century ago the Duke of Cambridge and his wafe were driving through Kensington Gardens, and as they neared the Vic- toria Gate they halted their carriage, that their pet dog,- Prince, - might alight for exercise. But when they started, by accident, the horse step- on him and he was killed. The e, who x that BE wa ibe offi- ial ranger t ~ dect to Pay him in the garden of the adja- cent gatekeeper's lodge. There to-day is His grave, with the inscription, "Poor Little Prince." Others heard of it and when they lost their pets by death, gained permission to follow the 'Duke's' example, so that there are buried here more than 400 pet dogs, cats; parrots and monkeys. Here is thé grave of a monkey, "Jock," and bn its headstone the in- A WONDROUS THING. New Feats in Lightning Photo-| graph; eid Alexander Larsen, a Danish immi- | grant, educated in physics, chemistry | and electrical engineeri introduced | the Smithsonian Institution at Washing- | ton to some mew feats in photographing | lightning. rema le were the pic-| tures he secured that he was given a special Apprapr ar ion to continue his re- searches. With the aid of this Smith- k Larsen . constructed sontan grant Mr, a Cops special apparatus for his work. Upon a | {revolving table turned by a timed motor were placed that they would not missy a flash when | one occurred. To secure the photo- | graphs desired the table top was then | revolved at a certain speed. i We rs are interesting; suvs, the /ashington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. When the flash | appeared perpendicular the negatives show a broad sheet for a mere streak of | lightning. By calculating from the] speed of the camera's motion and mea- | suring the width of the sheet the time | of the flash is not one big vibration. ' It | is made up of many minor flashes or rushes, following usually in the same | channel as the rst, and herein lies thie | special: value of the work. In the best | {of the negatives there are easily as | {many 'as forty separate rushes which, as | {the whole flash lasted a little over half | he [3 second, followed each, other in mar- | vellously rapid succession. By measure- ments and by subsequent calculations | Mr. Larsen determined the actual time each rush. The figures, as may | be imagined, are almost conceivably | small, varying from the largest, three | one-hundredths * of a second, to the smallest, as low as two one-thousandths | of a second. ~ The most salient feature of the phe- nomena over which meteorologists and electrical engineers may puzzle is recorded on some of the plates, among all the bright oscillations; as a marked black rush 6f lightning. The idea of lightning producing the extreme dark- ness is repugnant to the name of4 "lightning." Yet the black rush is plain- | dy visible. Mr. Larsen, after refuting | a number of suggestions that might be made to account for it, ventures his own { theory to solve the puzzle. | The flash must have given out light of a wave length much shorter than the | a power sufficient to render the part of | the plate. struck by it - non-sensitive to ordinary light. Such a flash would ap- fear black on a "pattially illuminated kground, or be mvisible. "Invisible lightning," therefore, seems to be a term perfectly proper, in view of the results recorded in some of these ophtographs." But Mr. Larsen's spare time is not spent entirely in waiting for thunder- storms. He has been interested also in studying the colored-light waves given off by many kinds of substances, min- erals and chemicals, solid and liquid, | and gases, when they are themselves | subjected to hight action, This is known amorg men of science as the fluores- cence. The results which' he has for warded, say the experts, are vitally in- teresting to the student of this-part- | cular property of matter. { The latest ideas outlinedypy Mr. Lar- | sen to the Smithsonian Institution are | np less remarkable than the first. He | proposes to photograph electric sparks | reflected in a rapidly revolving mirror | and therehy secure records, a study of | which may add materially to our knowl- edge of electric action.

London Express: The skeleton of a young Indian wo- man which has .been unearthed by some workmen at Gravesend is believed to be that-of the famous Princess Pocahontas. he princess, after whom La Belle Sauvage, the old hostelry in the Fleet Valley, was called, was buried at Gravesend in 1616. She was the beau- | tiful daughter of Powhatan, an Indian chief in Virginia. Captain John Smith, the Englishman who went out to colo- mize that state, was captured by Powha- tan, who ordered that his brains should beaten out by clubs. Pocahontas, then twelve years old, saved his life by laying her head upon his, indicating that the tribesmen should kill her first. When Smith had become President of Virginia, she again saved his life by in- forming him of a plot which her father was hatching against him. The princess became a Christian and visited England with an Englishman named ried. er death occurred from small- pox on a vessel in the Thames ad she was setting out again for Virginia.
