New use for photographs.
--A Western correspondent speaks of having seen ‘"Season passes"’ and ‘"Commutation tickets"’ on the Chicago and Milwaukie Railroad, bearing the photograph of the person to whom they are issued. This is a capital idea. These photographs are now furnished about the size of a postage stamp, at the rate of from 30 to 100 for $1, already gummed; and when the applicant wants a pass or commutation ticket, he incloses his photograph, which being placed upon the card when issued, enables the conductor to see at a glance whether the ticket is being presented by the original, or, as is too often the case, by some one who has borrowed it.
