ZINC SMELTING. ' Net a Modern Art, Sine It Was Known at Early aa 1798. For many years the art of zinc smelt ing was supposed to be relatively mod ern among metallurgical processes and to be due to the invention of the Abbe Daniel Dony, a chemist of Liege, the story of whose accidental discovery in 1806 Is classical. The particular type of Belgian fur nace may Indeed be credited to Dony, but It baa long been doubtful whether be waa entirely unacquainted with pre vious undertakings. Thus It la well known that the manufacture of spelter waa begun In Upper Silesia about 1798 1000 by Johann Bnhberg, who learned the art In England (where sine smelt ing waa then being carried on by th E Ml HURTS MEYERS LA GRANDE BAJIK CASHIER HAS A SAJKBOW ESCAPE.

If you desire an ocean cloud effect be sure to place a cliff or some prominent landmark in the foreground to break the monotony. The exposure for cloud effects, msdo necessary by the laws of light and op tics. Is necessarily very rapid. Anom alous as it may seem, this does not pre suppose nn extra niptd lens. In fact such a one may defeat the very object yoj hope to attain. I innke my dim 1 scenes with nn ordlniry rectilinear lens by preference.
