LONDON'S CHINATOWN.
MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY.
NOVELTIES AT LONDON FAIR.
LINEN CHEST AS ALBUM,
Progress in modern photography was illustrated by many novel ideas at the Photographic Exhibition, at the Horticultural Hall, Vincent-square, London..
Aerial photography. by the Ross lenses shows some remarkable results at exposures of 1-1000th of a second. A photograph taken from an aero- plane at a height of 1,000ft. over St. George's Channel shows three whales submerged.
There are also studies in X-ray and microscopic photography. A section of the tongue reminded one of the photographs of luner craters and a spiritualistic effect was given by a bunch of flowers X-rayed, so that the veing alone were distinct and the petals were a shadow.
It is possible to have a photograph of one's special friend-printed char mingly on the corner of a handker- chief in such a way that it will not wash cft. Even boiling will have no deleterious effect on the portrait.
By the same process one can have family portraits on the back of the hairbresh, or the housebold match- box, or even on wooden trinket- boxes.
REAXING DOGS TO PROVIDE TASTY DISHES..
M
The Chinese population of London is increasing.. The Orientals have overflowed from Chinatown, and are taking houses in adjacent districts, while many of them have businesses or are employed in the West Bod. At one time their haunts were pretty well confined to Fennyfields, Lime house Causeway and West India Dock Read, but nowadays their homes are to be found in Poplar High Street and in most of the adjacent roads. While many of the men are seamen who come and go, others tave settled in this country, and have married English girls, as may be gathered from the number of half caste children to be seen.

SOUTH AFRICAN RUBE.
The last for easily won riches has never been more dramatically illus trated than at the great diamond rush at the Talaping diggings, in Bechuanaland, perhaps the biggest scramble South Africa has ever seen.
Days before the formal proclama- |tion that the ground was open for pegging claims, crowds began to arrive, many hundreds in automo- biles which, owing to heavy rain, became begged for many hours in the rough veldt roads. Later arrivals dashed frantically to the scene to carry out futile and indiscriminate pegging. Consequently the pro- clamation was delayed until the whole alluvial diggings area had been cleared.
