FAKES IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
8impl* Trick* by Which the Camera la
Made to Lie.
It is well known that the nearer
an object is to the camera the larg
er it appears in proportion to other
objects in the picture, and by taking
advantage of this fact some aston
ishing pictures may be obtained,
particularly if a lens of somewhat
short foous is employed. Not long
ago the writer saw reproduced in a
popular magazine a photograph
which was described in all serious
ness as depicting a cabbage of gi
gantic proportions.
Doubtless most people who look
ed at the picture were deceived, for
the cabbage partially obscured a
whole family of five or six persons
who stood somewhere in the back
ground. Yet in reality the vege
table was of only ordinary propor
tion and merely looked large in pro
portion to the human beings be
cause of its nearness to a lens of
short focus.
In the same way it a fisherman
has caught a fish six inches long it
may be made to appear gigantic in
the photograph. By means of his
rod and line the fisherman may
hang the fish a good six ■or eight
feet nearer the camera than lie him
self is, and the lens does the rest.
Very laughable caricature photo- |
graphs may be made by simply mov
ing the “swing bac-k” of the cam
era out of the perpendicular. Your j
friends may be made to look like
reclining giants or dwarfs with big j
heads. In fact, an almost endless |
variety of quaint deformities may
be devised by varying the elevation
of the camera and the angle of the
back. Care must, be taken, how
ever, to “stop down” the lens as
much as possible in order to bring
the whole picture well into focus.
This, of course, means that a good
light is required; otherwise the ex
posure must be a long one and vour
model may move and spoil the pic
ture.—Scientific American.
The Business of Life.
This is the task appointed: To
hold the vision of a final arrival at
some fitting destination; to main
tain undiminished a sense of per
sonal worthiness; to be defeated in
each foolish dream of fhe younger
life and so to he disciplined into a
large vision, made more sure by ad
versity; to be delayed for most of a
lifetime and yet to believe in the
strength of the human spirit to sur
mount pain, outlive sin and defeat
malice and envy; to believe in the
gradual but all conquering power of
good will: to be saddened, but not
embittered; to be beaten, but not
conquered. That is the stern
business set before us.—Collier’s
Weekly.
Safer and Funnier.
“I see you have a saddle horse
now,” observed the man in the cafe.
“Yes,” acknowledged fhe other.
“My doctor advised me to go in for
riding. I’ve never done any of it
| before.”
“Do you get a good deal of
amusement out of it?”
“Well, yes. But my wife enjoys
it more than 1 do.”
| “I haven’t seen her riding with
i you.”
I “Oh, she doesn’t ride. She says
it’s safer and funnier to sit on a
park bench and watch me go by.”—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Didn’t Know Him.
A drill sergeant was drilling the
recruit squad in the use of the ride.
Everything went smoothly until
blank cartridges were distributed, j
The recruits were instructed to load
their pieces and stand at the
“ready,” and then the sergeant gave
the command:
“Fire at will!”
Private Lunn was puzzled, tie
lowered his gun.
“Which one is Will?” lie asked.—

Canada's Great Game.
Lacrosse is the national ball
! game of Canada. It came from the
I aboriginal red men, who doubtless
played it for many centuries before i
the discovery of the new world.
Different tribes played it in differ
ent ways, and it was usually very
rough. The name was given to it
bv the French Canadians, who saw
the resemblance between the curv
ed netted stick used in playing it
and a bishop’s crozier or crosse.—

Net a Contortionist.
A man complained to his doctor
recently that every time he bent
forward slightly and held out his
arms horizontally, waving them
around in a small circle, he felt a
sharp pain in his left shoulder
blade.
“Well,” snorted the doctor, “why
the dickens do vqu want to do such
a contortion act?”
“How else is a man to put his
overcoat on, doctor ?” — Harper’a
Weekly.
