One of the most Important lessons for a beginner to learn Is to bold the
amera In the proper position during exposure. Whenever there are corners
of buildings or other objects which give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. If this Is not done the building In the picture will
appear to befalling either backward or forward, according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however, when the camera may be tilted to advantage
In some cases it Is an absolute necessity. For example, in photographs of
clouds, waterfalls, balloons, etc., the camera may point upward, while In
taking pictures of people swimming or bathing, children at work or play, etc.,
It may be pointed downward. Very successful photographs of prominent
speakers, parades, crowds, etc., have been taken when the camera was held
upside down. It makes no difference In the negative whether the camera is
right side up or not By holding the camera In tbe way suggested many a
photographer has secured good pictures, while other, who tried to use the
camera In the usual way made absolute failures. Often by holding the cam
era by the side of the body and pointing it backward one may secure pictures
of children at play and of older people In natural poses without the knowl
edge of any members of the groups.
Another warning to beginners Is necessary. Do not try to take a time
exposure while holding the camera In the hand. Even if the camera is held
against the breast and respiration stopped the action of the heart is sufficient
to cause the box to vibrate and spoil the picture. The Circle.

As a result of tbe coal shortage on
the Pacific coast, many steamers for
merly burning coal have been fitted
with oil burners, and the change is
contemplated for many more.

subway, which will be built at a cost
of $28,000 per mile, a figure which is
astonishingly low, but this Is probably
accounted for by the fact that the cost
of labor In Japan Is very low.
The proprietors of an Austrian car
pet factory at Maffersdorf are stated
to have acquired German patents which
embody a method of manufacturing

It may surprise many readers to
learn that naphtha, Illuminating oil,
gas oil and lubricating oil are obtained
In considerable quantities from certain
varieties of shale rock. "Oil shales"
bound In the Scotch Lothlans, A re
cent memoir of the British geological
survey records the discovery of an Im
portant new field of shale near Dud
dlngston. In the year 1904 2,332,000
tons of oil shale were mined In Scot
land, and yielded 02,932,000 gallons of
crude oil. The Scotch oil shales were
first made generally known to geolo
gists In 1885.
The American Ethnological society
announces that It Is about to begin a
series of publications of authentic ma
terlal collected among native American
tribes. It is pointed out that hitherto
little has been collected, In their own
language, concerning the customs, be
liefs and ideas of the natives. Yet
authentic records of information given
by the Indians are regarded as of
prime importance for a thorough study
of the ethnology and early history of
tbe American continent The Indians
are believed to possess much valuable
knowledge not yet recorded.
The results of recent exploration
show more and more clearly that if
America has received much from the
old world it has In return given much.
The American origin of early types of
the horse, the camel, the rhinoceros
and other anlnwils, which eventually at
tained a clrcumpolar distribution, says
Dr. J. A. Allen, Is well established, but
that the same fact Is true of some
forms of existing mammalia does not
seem to have been hitherto recognised.
Doctor Allen thinks that eastern Si
beria has derived some of its present
mammalian life from boreal America
within a comparatively recent period.
FARMING IN ALASKA.
Poor Aa-rleultural Stations Carried
oi by tbe Government. .
The government maintains four agri
cultural experiment stations In Alaska
at Sitka, Copper Center, Rampart and
Kenal, and reservation for another has
been recommended ; a point midway be
tween Ohena and Fairbanks, and ad
joining the Tanana mine railway which
connects the two towns being selected
as a suitable location, says the Boston
.Alaskan.
The experiments at the Sitka station
are now devoted chiefly to horticulture,
and the work carried on there may be
grouped Into two classes: First the
Introduction, propagation and testing
of fruit trees and fruit bushes, with a
view to ascertaining which sorts can
be successfully cultivated In Alaska;
and second, the testing of varieties of
vegetables best suited to the climate
and soil In various parts of the district

station, but sufficient time has not yet
elapsed to determine what the result
will be. Interesting experiments are
being made with the native fruit
bushes, and new varieties of raspber
ries, currants and gooseberries will
doubtless be the outcome of the work
which is now being successfully caV
rled forward. All the hardy vegetables
are grown at the Sitka station, particu
lar attention being paid to the potato,
cabbage and cauliflower. The people
of the vicinity co-operate with the gov
ernment experimenters, and aid the
work by supplying reports of the beha
vior of the seeds supplied by the sta
tion for the use of residents.
At Copper Center station the work
is devoted chiefly to grain growing,
though experiments in the production
of grasses and vegetables are also con
ducted. Wheat rye and oats, clover,
peas, beans, turnips and rutabagas
comprise the list commented upon In
the report of Special Agent C. C. Geor
geson who has charge of the work In
Alaska.
At the station located at Rampart
one degree south of the arctic circle.
the principal experiments conducted
aunng last season were directed to
ward the production of early varieties
of grains, those which mature before
tbe winter season sets In. The results
are being reached by selection. Seeds
are planted and those first maturing
are selected and planted the next year.
it somtlmes occurs that an unusually
early winter destroys the grains In pro
cess of selection and the work has to
be begun again. The hardy varieties of
Russia and England grain are used as
seed. Wheat from Karhoff, Russia and
Finnish black oats are crops which sel
dom fall, even so far north as Ram
part String beans and peas have been
successfully raised at Rampart station
and all of the hardy vegetables, par
snips, carrots, potatoes and rutabagas
have also matured there; thus far the
potatoes have shown the best results. J

Tbe Broken Vase.
Crash! Mother's uew vase fell to
the floor, and two little frightened
. , , ' . . , . .i,
faces looked at each other in surprise
and dismay.
Marjorle picked up the pieces care
fully and sat down on the ottoman
with them in her lap. Kentle sat down,
gether.
"Why, It looks most like new!" ex
claimed Marjorle.
"There's a little teenty hole, Marjo,"
Kentle said, slowly.
"But It's so little, Kent ! Le's put
It on the mantelpiece again and see if
it shows."
"Yes, let's."
Kentle climbed up on a chair and
took the pieces as Marjorle banded
them up. He set the Jar back In its
old Place- wl. the 1Ittle hole next t0
the wall. The pieces held together
beautifully.
I he put them all In his pocket and went
down-stairs, too. Very quietly he stole
through the hall and Into the parlor.
"oh !" he whispered, with a little Jump,
and a guilty expression. "You here,
j Marjo?"
J sure enough, there was ' Marjorle,
siting on the ottoman. They looked at
i eacn 0ther with sober little faces. Just
then they heard mamma's voice on the
front piaiza, and they slipped out Into
the back yard Instead of running to
meet her as usual
Teatlme came, and bedtime. Mamma
went upstairs and "kissed them to
gieep" In the same dear old way, but
somehow it troubled them this time,
&h turned out the gaa and went away.
The clock on Marjorle's bureau ticked
very loud Indeed, and ticked quite a
long time before there came a shrill
whisper from Kentie's room.
"You asleep, Marjo?"
"No, are you? I've been awake all

"Le's go down an tell her now.

"Oh, yes, Kentle, do le'sl"
And two little figures In white night
dresses pattered down the stairs.
Mamma was writing at her desk. It
was a letter to grandma, telling "all
about those blessed babies." The sit
ting-room door creaked and mamma
looked up. "What in the world 1" Bhe
suld, for there stood the "blessed
babies," hand In band, right before her,
In a minute it was all told, Kentie's
words tumbling over Marjorle's and
Marjorle's tumbling over theniselves.
It was so much easier to tell when
they had once begun. Mamma listened
gravely. Then she took them both up
In her arms and had a little, loving
talk with them about the dreadful nesa
of hiding things from mamma.
"Was it most telling a wrong story,
mamma?" Kentle whispered.
"I'm afraid so, dear," mamma said.
"It was a good deal worse than break
ing the Jar."
By and by mamma sent them up to
bed, and how much lighter their hearts
felt going back, and how they hugged
each other!
Marjorle's clock ticked a Jolly little

ISLANDS OVERRUN BY DEER.
Come to tbe Doora and Farmers Can
Only Shoo Them Away.
Farmers on Orcas, Whldby, Lopez
and Mercer Islands have grown weary
shooing the deer away from their
crops, and are demanding the privilege
of exterminating the deer on the isl
ands. Either this action or they will
have to move backr to town and give
over the islands to the wild game.
It is claimed by the farming Inter
ests that the bill making game pre
serves of the four Islands was all very
well In the days when these spots were
not settled by an Industrious class that
Is now tilling the soli. Then it made no
difference whether they were drlvn Into
the water by hunters.
Now that Oscas, Whldby, Lopez and
Mercer Islands have become thickly
settled the deer have become a nui
sance. Mercer Island lies In Lake
Washington within a stone's throw of
the State's metropolis, but the deerare
absolute In their control, as If the spot
was located near Mount Tacoma.
It does not make any difference how
much money Is spent by the settlers
and city farmers on the Improvement
of their places, the deer drift in and eat
up whatever suits their fancy, and the
farmers are helplesa All they can do
Is to shoo away the Invaders, and if
they will not shoo the farmer may, In
his desperation, take the deer by the
horns uud lead him outside the In
closure. But he has no privilege In law
of using violence In dealing with the
deer pest
One or two residents on Mercer Isl
and tried to be rid of the deer. It is
related that one Industrious citizen who
found the deer eating up his cabbage
patch killed one and the game warden
Immediately placed him under arrest
That the courts subsequently freed
him Is no consolation. The farmers In
the deer-infested regions want the
privilege of fighting to preserve their
fireside from invasion by the voracious
deer. Walla Walla Statesman.
Indian Cure for Nenralarla.
Here Is a simple method of curing
facial neuralgia. If the neuralgia Is
In the right side of the face the left
hand should be placed In a basin of
water as hot as can be borne. Or If
neuralgia Is In the left side of the face
then the right hand should be placed
In the hot water. It Is asserted that In
this way relief may, be obtained In less
than five minutes. The explanation Is
that the two nerves which have the
greatest number of tactile nerve end
ings are the fifth and the median
nerves. As tbe fibers of these two
nerves cross any Impulse conveyed to
the left hand will affect the right side
of the face, or If applied to the right
hand will affect the left side of tbe
face. This is on account of the cross
ing of the cords. East Indian Re
