Landscapes, after all, form the steady diet of the amateur photographer, and It ciet 01 " ,tft , S bnm5i of the . must be eald that In thte branch of tne , nrt th nmateur Is ahead of the profes Blonal. But it must not be supposed for one moment that all amateurs make better landscape pictures than do professionals, but a few amateurs do make really nne work and there is nothing to present th" many succeeding as v. e'l as do the few. It is all a matter of brains. The vast ma jority, however are too lazy intellectually, as I said before, and they Jog along ex posing hundreds of plates, hoping some day by accident to get at least one fine picture. But accidents of that kind do not happen very often. One of my phllo eophical friends Insists that It always lakes three conditions to make an acci dent, but I think an accidentally good landscape photograph would be the out come of at least four If not half a dozen. There must needs be a good composition, effective lighting, the camera at the right spot at the right moment, correct expos ure, proper development and a first-rate print on suitable paper. Mathematical readers who are posted on the laws of combinations and permutations might for the good of humanity figure out how often in an average amateur b 1 fetime the condi tions would be right for the making of a fine picture by accident. My intellectually lazy friends are usually great hustlers physically, and I admire the energy with which they cover weary miles or spend hours developing and print ing. I am built the other way about, and am a sincere admirer of the man who. when he has a half-hour job, will eit down for a whole hour and figure out 3iow he can do it in ten minutes with the Jeast expenditure of exertion. My wife, I frankly confess, calls this laziness. 1 xsall it conservation of energy. The first thing to be considered In a landscnpe scene is the general mass of the material stretched out in front. It Is attractive to the eye, doubtless, but that is not the point. We have to consider how it will look In black and white. The color is beautiful, but we are not photo graphing color. In determining whether or not a land ecape is worth photographing the three following principles should be applied. First, long-distance scenes are best avoid ed, as when reproduced on paper the charm of distance Is apt to be lacking. "Little bits," something Inclosed In the compass of a few square yards, are ever 0 much more suitable for the camera. Figure 1 illustrate a long-distance view, but it depends for more than half oi Its effect on the white on the head and back of the figure in the foreground. This can eas.ly be proved by placing one finger on the white mass and at once the "life" of the picture Is gone. The second point lr an analysis of the material to see what It consists of. Earth, trees, water, sky these are the possible and always-present constituents, and ni landscape picture is ever really satisfac tory if one or more be wanting. I th.nk rifi.-t"rr "SKTSS- & - FIr. 2 Land-tcnpe. It Is due to the fact that earth repre sents the most stable condition we know in the world the etorna'.-hil s Ideas wh..e water represents the unstable "unftabie as water, thou shalt not exce" and In between we have the esetat!on. Cloucs are not of the earth, they are above it literally and metaphoricn ly, and they rep resent the moods of our feelings from grave to gay. So. as far as poss.ble, ge. water and clouds in jour pictures; efpt cially get water, clouds If jou -"an. The next point that demands at erulon is trc composition. This pha-e I deal: wfth In my second art.cle. Supposing the scene to be one ru'table for good pictorial work and that the com position is good, then comes up the most important question of all, that of llga -ing. "When dealing with portraiture I was able to show there the nececs.ty of an educated eye r.v to lighting b fore it was possib.e to make satisfac ory portrait-, and I can assure every reader that t-iis also holds true in landscape photograph.. Composition is but the skeleton, the framework; lighting Is the fleMi and blood of a picture. In portraiture it was comparatively eaey to take a scheme of lighting that was admirably fitfd to bring out all the de tail and character in a face and to &how how it could be secured. But In land scape It is different. Here we are more anxious to get effects than facts, and the best effect for a certain combination of facts is largely a matter of Judgment and educated taste. One of the most success ful amateurs in this countrj today once asked me for an expeditious method oi learning all about landscape lighting, and I advised him to select a good scene am! to photograph it every hour of the das from S A. M. to 6 P. M. He swallowed the prescription and he assures me he learned more In there 10 hours than he had learned in months of reading and study. I fancy It would not hurt any of my readers to take the same course. But let us get down to more specific details, and the first is a "don't." Don't have the sun behind your back when ex posing. You must have light and shade in your photogiaph, and the sun behind your back will give jou all light and no shade. Far rather have the sun right ahead of jou, for this will give you lots of both light and shade, not only in the masses of foliage in the distance, but, more Important still, in the grats anl flowers in the near foreground, where de tail and relief are usually much wanted. Figures 1 and 2 Illustrate this very clearly. I fancy I see you conjure up visions of fog on your plate as a consequence of facing the sun. but that will not happen if you are careful. Before jou make the exposure hold the slide of your plate holder or our hat so as to she'd the lens from the direct rays and go ahead. It is clmply astonishing how Judlc'ou lighting will make a charming picturo out of tne most unpromising material. "What could be more commonplace than the material show In figure 3, jet bj hav ing tho light fall on it from the right front the result Is an exceedingly pleas ing effect. It often occurs that an un broken uninteresting expanse of snow it. the foreground becomes an in'cresting part of tho picture olmplj bj' getting trees not shown at all to cast their shadows across it. There is absolutely no excuse for bare, uninteresting foregrounds when ft few tihadowe druwn by the pencil of A?v 'k&ZJrZ&-Z 7 SV. n. i Seymour Eaton.) , DIRECTED BY PROP. SEYMOUR EATON lirJit can transform them Into thlncs of ! beauty. I And. speaking of foregrounds, let me j inak.- my last point. A picture to be sue- ! cc-ifui must have foreground, middle dls- ' dL3l&nc 1 rbegret tnat L , find very Tarely more than two in the average photograph. If the foreground bo , good and distance be shown the middle distance is lacking. But the average fore- I ground Is no foreground at all. but simply i an evenly tinted, uninteresting piece of paper. Fancy the lower part of figure 3 ' all an even mass of white. By no stretch f of imagination could It be dignified with - the title of foreground, yet it occupies the place of one. But as the picture Is. from nearest point to farthest, there Is a j foreground, a middle distance and a die- I tance. t I have told jou all that was In mj ' -""!

All j I have done is to give j-ou an dppetlzer, I and I trust that you will be tempted to do j'our own experlment.ng. But one r thlng more I will siy.

The Lizzie Bell Chartered Tbyra Goes Throngli to A-storla "With, Over GOOO Tons Aboard. Tho big Oriental liner Argyll made a fine run up the river j-csterdr.j- morning. She got away from Astoria nt 3 o'clock on high water slack, and came up at a lively rate, reaching Alnsworth dock about U o'clock. As stated In yesterday's papo. the steamer made a fine run from Yokohama, the port from which she started on the other side, but she brings no news of Importance from the far East. Liners coming In this direction do not pick up much cargo at Yokohama, and the consignment to hand on the Argyll ia the smallest that has been received here for several steamers. For Portland there were 4324 bags and 15 cases of sulphu. and about 200 packages of matting, curios, cement, bamboo baskets and mushrooms. There was a small cons'gnment of silk, and several hundred bales or packages of bamboo ware, paper, fans, curios, straw braid, etc., for New York, and similar consignments for St. Louis, Baltimore, Jersey City, Chicago, Montreal and San Francisco. A rather unusual Import from the Orient was 87 bales of sheep's wool, which was consigned to a big wool house In Boston. The Argyll commenced discharging at Alnsworth dock yesterdaj- afternoon, and the most of her cargo will b out todaj. Tho flour shipments to be taken out by the steamer will be much smaller than usual on account of tho demands for space for; other commodities, which were shut out on the last regular, liner, and have since been accumulating. SEATTLE VS. PORTLAND. "Wlndr Sonnd City Unable to Support a Merchants' Exchange. The Seattle papers about six months ago indulged In considerable praise of the growth of their marine business, which had become so great that a Merchants' Exchange was an absolute neces3ltj The exchange was organized, and is now de funct. Incidentally It might be mentioned that Portland's Merchants' Exchange 1 still doing business. Just as It has been for the past 20 j-ears. In mentioning the demise of the exchange at Seattle, the Post-Intelligencer saj-s: . "At a meeting yesterday of the Board of Directors, composed of J. S. Goldsmith. James D. Hoge. Jr.; Captain John B. Llbby and Clark M. Nettleton. It was voted to discontinue the Merchants' Ex change. A. Z. Washburn, the manager, resigned several days ago. "Mr. Hoge stated that the directors were loth to take such action, but that business men did not appear Inclined to give the exchange a proper financial sup port. "Ho nevertheless believes that such a concern with a competent management can be made to paj, and states that It is not unlikely that an attempt will be made to revive It. Mr. Goldsmith has been con ducting a correspondence to that end. and tho exchange may be re-established." LAST SPOT SHIP TAKEN. The Lizzie Bell Removed Prom the Free Lint nt IIIrIi Rate. Spot ships on the free list in Portland this season do not remain there long. The Allerton, which was taken last week, cleaned up the list at that time, but since then the Lizzie Bell has arrived, and for nearly five daj's she figured as disengaged tonnage. She was chartered Wednesday to load wheat at Portland for Europe at a rate said to be in excess of 41s 6d, or more than a shilling higher than the rate paid the Allerton. The latter vessel could have secured more than she did, had her owners chartered her before she arrived, or wl'hln a week after her arrival. If there lo anj improvement In the wheat market in the near future, the problem of securing ships will be a diffi cult one. All of the recent charters that have been made were for the purposo of taking care of wheat that had already been purchased, and was blocking the warehouses. San Francisco's list of dis engaged grain tonnage has been Increased to two ships, the Marechal Suchet joining the Oranasia. which for so long has held down the disengaged list In the Bay City. At Tacoma, the Mount Stuart is still re ported on the free list. IMMENSE CARRYING CAPACITY. Thyrn Went Down the River With Over OGOO Tons on Board. The Norwegian steamship Thjra Is un doubtedlj the greatest carrier for her ton nage that ever entered this port. On a net registered tonnage of but 2476 she went down the river j'esterday morning carrj' Ing over 60C0 tons of cargo and 600 tons of bunker coal. The flour alone from Portland amounted to 5200 tons, and there was 200 tons of lumber and 140 tons of miscellaneous freight from Portland, and 500 tons from San Diego and San Fran cisco, a total of 040 tons of freight. There have been sllghtlj larger cargoes out of Portland, but thej' were on vessels of sev eral hundred tons net register larger than the Thyra. The steamer left down the river j-esterdaj' forenoon, and reached As toria at 4:30 In the afternoon. It would have required nearlj' 350 cars to carry the freight which she loaded at Portland. STEAMERS ON THE SKEENA. Portland Man Will Probably Ilnve First Boat to the Headwaters. Advices from Northern British Colum bia state that Captain J. H. Bonier, of thii city, who recentlj- purchased the steamer Monte Crlsto to run on the Skeena River, has succeeded, after some trouble with the Custom-House authori ties, in getting her ready for service, and is probablj now on his waj- up the river. Tho Monte Crlsto was completely over hauled and lengthened, and on her launch ing looked like a new boat. She drew about a foot of water, end on her trial trip proved very satisfactory. Reports from up the river state that the Hudson'3 Baj Companj-'s two steamers Strathcona and Caledonia failed to get anj further up than the Little Canyon. Captain Bonser hopes, on account of hav ing a good boat, and the best possible knowledge of the river, to beat them to Hazelton. which Is the head of navigation on tho Skeena. ICvIchnU All Riffht. The steamer Kvichak, built here bj the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works for the Alaska Canners Association, and which left here for San Francisco under one boiler, is now all right. Captain George Pope, survej'or for Lloj'd's, has received a dispatch from his colleague. Captain Met calfe, of San Francisco, stating that the defect In the starboard boiler of the Kvi chak had been discovered and put to rights, and had been successfully tested, and that the steamer was all O. K. ' She Is already about loaded, and will soon be on her way to the north. Sailed for Nome. SAN FRANCISCO. May 17. The stenm. er San Pedro sailed for Cape Nome to day with nearly 300 passengers. The next vessels to depart will be the San B!ae and the Zealand-la. Monday. The latter vessel will take over 700 pasccngers. Customs Collector Jackson has received from Washington a cepj of the new regu lations to protect the salmon-fishing in durtry of Alaska. The use of seines in such a manner as to prevent the free run of salmon Is prohibited. Schooner Ashore. MONMOUTH. N. J.. May 17.
