THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FKIDAY, MAY 11, 1900. 30 COURSE IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS (Copyright. 1000. by Seymour Eaton.) XHE OREGONIAN'S HOMESTUDY CIRCLE DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON XIV. PHOTOGKAVIHXG IXTERIOHS. ET F. DUNpAS TODD. In the matter of eqirnmcnl any ordi nary camera, -whether t costs ?2 tr 550. can be used, but It must be confessed It is frequently an advantage In cramped situations to have a -wide-angle lens that Is to say, one that includes a larger field than the lenses ordinarily supplied with most cameras. In addition to the regular outfit I -would recommend the purchase of a sp'-rit level, -which can be got either in circular form, about the size of a quar ter, or in the ordinary straight form, one about three Inches long being a conve nient size. I bought one of the latter kind about seven years ago, and it has reposed in my left vest pocket ever since, and I find It one of the handiest tools I carry. If you are hanging a picture there Is no doubt about, getting it perpendicular, for all you have to do is to a? ly the level to the frame The level is Just as useful when you are fastening a bracket to the wa.lL And so in hundreds of other cases in fact, I use it almost every day. In making negatives, no matter -whether landscape, portrait or interior, I level the camera that is, I mako sure that the plate is perpendicular in both directions before I expose, and this prevents my pro ducing the ridiculous scenes and portraits that one sees so often. Just a word about how to use the level. The camera should be set up -with one leg of the tripod toward the object being photographed, the other two to the rear, so that in working the photographer will stand between them. Supposing the cam era in position, if a circular level be used on top of the back a little movement of the front leg of the tripod -will soon get the bubble in the center, and when that Is accomplished the plate -will be perpen dicular. With a straight level the work is a lit tle more complicated, at least to descriDe, but in. practice it is very easy. Begin by placing the level on the back of the camera and pointing toward the lens; a slight movement of the .front leg and the bubble may be made to go to the center. This accomplished, turn the level half way around so as to lie across the back, then by moving the same front leg to one side or another the camera can be made lewl in this direction. To make sure that all Is; right turn the level to Its original di rection and make any final adjustment that may be necessary. Any negative now made with the camera -will show perpen dicular lines as such and not lines fall ing to one side or the other, ns one too frequently sees-in the average photograph of buildings, -whether the view be exterior or interior. Another point deserving much consider ation In all kinds of photography, hut es pecially In interior -work, is the height of the camera. Most people content them selves by so placing the Instrument thai when focusing it -will be convenient to study the ground glass. If they only knew a little of the principles of perspect ive they would know that the height 01 the camera during exposure Is Just as Im portant as Its location otherwise. It It impossible to travel over the field of per spective In an article like this, but my readers can demonstrate a certain fact for themselves by exposing a couple of plates on an Interior, one -with the lens about feet from the ground and the other about 3& feet In the one print the floor will look as If pitched at a steep slope, while In In.- o'uer it will '.-.ok vc-e natural. The Illustration shows this point to a minor degree. The lens, 't is ev'dent -was Just a few inches above the levl of the top of the mantel shelf that Is, a me dium height but It would hi.ve given a more pleasing effect had it been almost a foot lower. Focusing is sometimes n little difficult but the difficulty can bo overcome by us ing a candle flame. More important, haw ever. Is to know the exact point to focua on. "We are bound to use a comparative ly small stop to get definition, and thus make longlsh exposures necessary but a llttlo discrimination in selecting the exact point on which to focus will enable us to attain sharp definition with the largst posslblq 3top, and thus attain the short est possible exposure. Most camera users know that if they focus on an object a certain distance from tho lens they find that objects both In front of it and behind it are sufficiently sharp. The distance between these two points is the depth of focus of the lens. By using a smaller stop we extend the depth of definition In both directions. Here comes a little problem: Given a near ob ject and a distant one. where should we focus to get the best definition and what is the largest stop we must use? I will not bother going 'nto the mathe matics of this, but the. following table Is compiled for the users of the ordinary 4x5 hand camera, a class which includes. I fancy, most of my readers: the middle of the day, -with stop No. 1G, I should give from five to ten minutes not seconds, as too many consider ample. Develop as you would any other sub ject I am aware that many people be lieve that by tinkering with the developer they can modify the final result but this is a pure misapprehension. It is, how ever, possible by local application to re strain any part that is developing too rapidly. Tot instance, since our light reaches us from the sky, the floor, espe cially near a -w.ndow, will bs very fully exposed, and if allowed to develop norm ally will be too dense In the negative. This can be prevented by the local application of bromide in the early stages of develop ment The operation is a very simple one. Dissolve about 30 grains of potassium bromide In an ounce of water, and -have handy an ordnary moderate-rized water color brush: start development, and the moment the high lights have made their appearance remove the plate from the tray and stand it en edge for a couple oi minutes to allow the surface to drain.

Should you find you have restrain d too much, soak the plate In -water for a minute, and then proceed with a fresh developer. It frequently happens that one thinks the development is all right, but after the negative Is fixed It Is found that some parts are too dense. This can be reme died at once In a very simple manner by the local application of potassium ferricy anlde or ed prusriate of potash in fact the reducer I described In the article on "Improvement of Negatives." Th hvj-o is In the film, therefore all we need to apply Is the ferrlcyanlde. A crystal the size of a pea Is dissolved In a couple of ounces or so of water, and the negative, after standing on edge a coupie of min utes to drain, is held horizontally over a sheet of white paper and the solution ap plied to the spots with a brush. Action pro ceeds at once, and the moment It hap gone far enough the negative Is held under the tap for a second to wash the solution off. If a careful Inspection shows that more should be done, repeat the appllcitlon. When the operation is complete return the negative to the hypo bath for a fw minutes. I need scarcely say this procedure- Is a valuable one for all kinds of negatives and subjects. MR.

The use of -the table can best be exemplified by an example. Wc will suppose the subject to be the Interior shown in the Illustration. The nearest ob ject Is the chair, which pcobably was about six feet away, while the most dis tant object Is the grandfather's clock at the far end of the second room, probably 20 feet away. We wish every object to be sharp, but at the same time with the largest possible stop. We look at our ta ble for the numbers C and 10 In the first jxni third columns. The nearest we can ilnd are C and 27 under stop No. 10, so If v.'e set our focusing scale at 10 feet, as indicated by the heavy type, and Use stop No. 16 th second largest of most hand camera lensrs we can make the exposure perfectly confident that everything will be sharp. Had we focused on the chair we would have had to use a very much smaller stop to get the samo definition. We may now consider -a few minor points. In selecting a point of view avoid if popslble including a cwindow In the field of the lens, for If ou do you will probably find that the window will show simply as a big white expanse, and, worse still, will likely have quite a halo around it obliterating all detail at the edge of the window and In the wallpaper. If, how ever, you musi Include a window, expose with the shades down, close the shutters, spring up the shades and then give one second' exposure. By far the best views are those show ing one room opening off Into another, as in the Illustration. The furniture should be moved around as little as pos sible, hut It is wisdom to remove any very large articles that may happen to be vorj near the camera. Again, do not stow all tho belongings of the house into the field of view, and be sparing in the amount ot carefully arranged sofa pillows, mandolins and similar articles you Include. It 13 far hotter to have things as near as pos :ble to the normal condition they present when in actual use. Therefore it is perfectly good taste to have an open book here, a work-batket there or a piece of music on the piano rack. Before making the exposure give some consideration to the pictures on the walls. Glass casts reflections and y ou must make pure that those do not reach the lens. Place your eye In front of It and look at each picture in turn, and If any one of them happens to reflest light, make a ball of a piece of cloth and stuff it In behind the frame, so as to change the .angle. It i? hard to sny how long to expose an.lnterlor, ns so much depends upon the 1 gluing, color of the objects, the plate and the diaphragm used. Qnc thing I do know, the average Interior is very much underexposed. In ap ordinary case, about will be the line of defense that will be adopted by "the bosses," Just as ot the last session of the Legislature they ia vored the registration bill Introduced by Mr. Hilt The bosses Instinctively know that their strong hold Is In the packing of thd conventions with their henchmen. nnrl thai..

The politicians would still find plenty to do. and no doubt would be well reward ed, but the direct primary system would work a great change for the better. Poli ticians and candidates would have to get up on a higher plane, and would have to resort to purer methods and appeal to higher motives. The candidates would be selected and elected more on account of their individual fitness and superior merit. was then an M. C Indeed, the Impress Ion Is very strong in my mind that It was during that session he made the attack on El'hu B. Washburne, the father, of the House. Even in those days those who knew Donnelly best spoke of him as utterly untrustworthy and tricky. Donnelly as pired to the Senate, but lack of confi dence In his Integrity caused his constit uents to drop him after a term or two. He was troubled with cold feet and left the G. O.

Wash- rectly to their constituents the electors which Is the right way. and not so much to the "bosses," which Is the present way. Benjamin Franklin said: "If you want your business attended to. go; if not, send." It Is so In this matter. If the peo ple want to control the nominations, as I not print. and consequently the theater thev do the elections later, let them enact a direct primary election law, and then go to the primary election and vote di rectly for tholr choice among the aspir ing candidates for the nomination for each office. The result of the count would be that the strongest candidates of each party that Is, the ones having a plurality over their competitors would carry off the party's nomination for each office. And these strongest candidates would be matched, at the general election following, against the strongest candidates of each of the other parties, for each office, and it would be left to the electors again to burn speech he delivered In Minneapolis seme 20 years subsequent thereto, at the time W.

Is the Incident of the death of Mrs. Hatch now complete, and does the finding of the Coroner's Inquest and the Coroner's letter close the case? Is the man Fletch er to go scot free and unpunished for the destruction of this woman and her fam ily? If so. had not the public better be a little more acquainted wl'h the proceel- lngs of the Coroner? He dismisses wo case very lightly, when he contemptuous ly charged the public In Its Inquiries about the letters of Fletcher to Mrs. Hatch as tho "prurient curisslty of scandal-mongers." He cither has no conception of the gravity of the case or else he is defending his own misconduct in the best way he knows. When McDaniel was discovered as tne destroyer of the girl In Cycle Park, a cry of horror went ur. Prominent mlnlsteis and the pillars of society auaeu incur voice, and compelled a verdict from the process of tho courts, removing the young monster from contact with his fellow crcaturcs. Now we have Instead of a fool nv without money or Influential friends. a man of wealth and position, who had known his victim for 20 years, during which time she became divorced from her husband, her 19-year-old daughter com mitted suicide, and she bravely lived alone, maintaining her own home and lit tle capital as best she could to sustain herself and 12-year-old son, the last of her brood. She wishes this man to marry and shield her, but with the pitiable docil ity even after proof of his utter selfish ness in his refusing to do so. allows her w,.Mn nr riocd of his aid to still abase herself to his use. She Is base and dis gusting, but there shines through her abasement that common quality of wom ankind, loyalty to her children and the man who holds her affection. Her neigh bors state of her that sne was an uv and devout member of her church. Tou claim her Insincere in tnis, anu iuu "" purpose Is to cloak her real character. I will suggest ano.her motive, which Is a common one In church work. It Is sor row, grief, disappointment, remorse, a broken eplrlt seeking the solace of relig ion and Its kindly work When Fletcher -denies this woman s as pirations to share his home in compenra tion for the sacrifice she has made him. he becomes 'even In her conception of him a mere brute, a beast of prey, and ohe completes her sacrifice of what cha thought before was her honor In the hands of him who loved her, by render ing all the rest she had to glve-her life. Who knows that she parted with the one more readily than the other? Fletcher leaves her about 6 o clock, dead or In a dying condition. He does not arouse her young son, nor acquaint a of her neighbors .with this fact. At the. inquest he first denies all knowledge of her condition that morning., uui i- mlts his guilty object at the house, and states he placed a towel on her head to relieve the pain of which she complained. But the Jury finds she died between 6 and 9 o'clock. One of the jury thinks before 6 o'clock. Here Is evidsnee more com plete and direct than that connecting Mc Daniel with the death of Clara Fitch.

Instead of the fool boy with passions, there appears a man of wealth and influential position, before the Coroner's Jury. He Is a neighbor and business man of long standing, and pa such Is a man of good repute. His at; ney Is admitted to a share in the band ling of the witnesses, and the evidence They sit four days, or until the public has recovered from the acute stage of Its n.n.ii.inn of murder, and then find what?

"The condition of the body precluded the possibility of the use of material poison." Why so? This Cor oner evidently has no respect for the pry ing ot the public Into his business. "Any volatile substance, any intelligent person," he says, "would know in a week's- time would entirely disappear." But the In quest was called on Sunday, the death occurring on Friday. If this Is a case of simple murder, Fletcher may have had one of several motives. His correspondence with the woman for a long period during their long connection would most probably have shown the motive. He may have given her deeds or notes which he wa3 trying that of any other crime. J. B. ZIEGLER. . EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.' Pxoposed Extension of Street-Car Line Other Matters. The preliminary steps have been taken for the construction of a railway spur along East Twenty-eighth street from I3ast Burnslde to the Sandy road, for the purpose of tapping the vicinity of the site of the Doernbecher furniture factory. Poles for the overhead wires have "been distributed and are being trimmed pre paratory to being planted along the" street. The street Itself is also to be Improved from East Burnslde by sidewalks and a plank roadway. This will be done before the street-car track Is put down. It Is; als'o necessary that the street be Improved before the proposed water mains are laid.
