TRICK OF THE GHOST FAKE. -Ipeek' and Vlt:n PletuFM Only Require Little Car and Simple Apparatus, and It la Ea.y Phota- ' graph a Man I rigid a Pint Bottle. Moonlight effects In portography ara generally g.lned by trickery. Of course It la possible to take photo grapha by tnoonlljtht, tha expoeur ra rylng from thirty minute to two hour. The results, however, ara rare ly aatiafactory, owing to tha move ment of tha shadows producing a blurred effect In tba finished print. To obtain moonlight picture of the ap proved eort a line cloud effect with the moon casting a long line of bril liant light upon water special prepara tions mut be made. A rather cloudy eunset must be chosen. Then whn the sun drops low on the bcrlaon lud la partly obscured by the cloud bank one aelxe tha op portunity to secure snapshot (tie lens being well "stopped down") right Into the eye of the light. The piste thus obtained should be slightly un derdeveloped. If all baa gone well the resulting netrative will aupply a picture exactly resembling a mooullght effect. and by carefully gumming a small cir cle of opaque paper upon the film one Is sble to print out the "moon" Into the bargain. rbotographa In which the anow ap pears to be falling are usually produc ed by artificial means, tf the subject la to be a portrait the sitter should be garbed appropriately and placed be fore a wintry background. When the negative is obtained It abould be dried and well Tarnished, then placed flat npon a table with the dim aide upper most Take a soft toothbrush charged with rather thick India Ink and car mine mixed up with water and draw It over the teeth of the comb, which abould be held some little distance from the negative. If thia operation la carefully manured the result will be an Irregular spattering of the pigment upon the varnished film, and when this Is dry a print will be produced which looks Just as though the negative had been taken In a snowstorm. - Photographa of the class In which gbosta or visions appear may be "fak ed" In several ways The first of these may be described In the duplicate ex posure method. Suppose, for example, we wish to photograph a man inside a bottle which will bold no more than a pint of Uqnld. To accomplish thia ap parently Impossible feat proceed aa follows: First photograph the bottle standing upon a dull black support and with similar background. While fo cusing take care to mark out what will be the Dottle's boundaries on the plate by fixing little rleces of gummed paper to the gronnd glass screen of the cam era. Then get your man to stand or alt In a chair opon a black cloth with a smooth black curtain behind him. Focus upon him so that be falls within the boundaries of the bottle, this be ing easily managed by means of the gummed paper guide. Finally expose the plate which has already been used to photograph the bottle, and when thia is developed your friend will duly appear inside. Thia method will be found in prac tice to explain many pictures which at Drat seem very astonishing. To make a "vision fake" arrange a little scene, such aa a bare room with an empty Dearth, with your model sitting list lessly In the foreground. Make your first exposure on this scene, being care ful to mark out on the ground glass screen the space Into which the vision OJiiHt fall- A dark curtain or dark woodwork should occupy this space in the first picture. Now procure a sheet of dead black paper, mount it evenly upon stiff card and with a little Chinese white sketch out an appropri ate vision. If you cannot do this yourself get an artist friend to help you. but see that the fVetcb is placed In the correct spot L e.. the spot which you have arranged for It to occupy In the finish ed picture. When the sketch la finish ed set It up before the camera, focus and see that it falls within the requir ed boundary upon the screen. Then expoce again the plate which has al ready done duty and If no mlscalcula tJona have been made an Interesting "vision" picture will result . The ghost "fake" may be made In ' exactly the same ray. only In thia rase an appropriate scene would be a dewrted churchyard, with your model posing In an awestrock attitude be side a tomb. In all photographs of this kind the reader should bear In mind that a dead black background does not appreciably affect the sensi tized plate, but a show plate should be nsed whenever this Is possible, as by this means any slight tendency to "fog" will be obviated. - Scientific American. ARMORER'S TOOLS. Fine fteliee ef Aneiont Timee In New York's Art Museum. Very few wople are aware (hat Id the heart of modern New York la complete armorer'a shop, write B. A. Suverkrop In the American Machinist It Is In the basement of the Metropoli tan Museum or Art and la equipped with a complete outfit of over 00 ar morers tools Many of these are very old. having descended from master to isn or from father to son through many generation. Their workmau ahlp is excellent,. Where steel faces bsve been welded to Iron bodies the weld are clean and perfect snd the Junction of Iron and steel la distin guishable only by the difference In lus ter of the two inetala. The tempering of the steel face ecem. to be good snd uniform, aa nei ther cracks nor denta are apparent A ciirory glance at these tool will at once apprise us of the origin of many of our modern sheet metal workers Implements. The working face of all the tools are highly polished, so thst tliey do not "grip" the metal being worked, which It is free to "slide" to the sliae desired by the srniorer Every collection of ancient armor re quire technical care for lta upkeep. Tlie objects must be kept fre from rust, occasionally remounted, and from time to time restorations niuat be made to preserve these priceless specimens In order to carry out this work the mu- suein has arranged the ahop referred to so that these necessary operatlona may be crrrted on. The armorer's tools once Iwtotuied to Panlel Tachaux. but are now the property of the mo seam. Mr. Tachaux brought them to thia country when be came from Part, la I00O to make some repairs In the museum's collection of armor. The outfit consists of over a tools and Includes nearly 100 ktnda of atakes and a great variety of hammers, swages, etc SWARMING WITH INSECTS. Th RECESSION OF GLACIERS. Northern Ice Field. That One Mat the Sea Are New Inland. Some attention Is befog directed to the fact that the Mulr glacier is disin tegrating along lta face, and there la some speculation aa to bow long It will continue to present great attraction to tourists No one can answer this. of course, for the causes of the unusu al movement are not known. Neither la it known with any certainty for bow long a time 'his grest ice mass baa pre sented bis anpearance. which made It famous. Assuming that the earliest chart of the coast are correct and there la every reason to suppose tbey are there have been very remarkable re cessiona of glaciers along the Atlantic coast during the last century, so that Ice fields that formerly came down to the sea are now a considerable dis tance from it As. we understand, the earlier charts do not ludicate the post- tlon of Mulr glacier, so there are no means of telling If it baa receded. The cause of the recession of glaciers is not fully understood, but It seems to Imply an average amelioration of the climate. Glaciers are fed from anow fields, and If they become smaller only one of two explanations seems possl tie. Either the snowfall In the higher levels must have diminished or the temperature In the lower levels has grown higher. There are several rea sous for supposing that the climate of the north Pacific xone U becoming giadnally warmer, although tbechange Is very gradual.
