FAKES IN PHOTOGRAPHY, j Simple Tricks by Which th Camera la Made to Li. ' 1 ; ; It is well known that the nearer an object is to the camera the larg er it appears in proportion to other objects in the picture, and by taking advantage of this fact some aston ishing pictures may be ' obtained, particularly if a lens of somewhat short focus is employed. Not long ago the writer saw reproduced in a popular magazine a photograph which was described in all serious ness as depicting a cabbage of gi gantic proportions. 5 Doubtless most people who look ed at the picture were deceived, for the cabbage, partially obscured a whole family of five or six persons who stood somewhere in the back ground. Yet in reality the vege table was of only ordinary propor tion and merely looked large in pro portion to the human beings be cause of its nearness to a lens of short focus. In the same way if a fisherman has caught a fish six inches long it may be made to appear gigantic in the photograph.' By means of his rod and line the fisherman ' may hang the fish a good six or eight feet nearer the camera than he him self is, and the lens does the rest. Very laughable caricature photo graphs may be made by simply mov ing the "swing back" of the cam era out of the perpendicular. Your friends may be made to look like reclining giants or dwarfs with big heads. In fact, an almost endless variety of quaint deformities may be devised by varying the elevation of the camera and the angle of the back. Care must be taken, how ever, to "stop down" the lens as much as possible in order to bring the whole picture well into focus. This, of course, means that a good light is required; otherwise the ex posure must be a long one and your model may move and spoil the pic ture. Scientific American. Th Number Fourteen In France. So far as France is concerned, it is the number fourteen that has played a conspicuous and generally portentous part in her history. On May 14, 1554, the Rue de la Ferron nerie was enlarged by order of Hen ri II., nid four times fourteen years later Henri IV. was assassinated "U1B ivavaiuac -namely, on May H 1C1- IIen" had lived four times fourteen years, fourteen rt unies iuuricen uays l. e.. nftv-six vears and five months. Then Henri's son. Louis XIII., died May 14, 1643 (the same day and month as his father). And 10-lJ added together equals four teen, just as 1553 (the year of the birth of Henri IV.) equals fourteen. Louis XIV. ascended the throne 1643, which added together equals fourteen and similarly the year of his death (1715) eauals. Partition! of Poland. There have been three partitions of Poland. The first was in 1773, when Prussia took the palatinates of Malberg, Pomeria and Warmia, a part of Culm and a part of Great Poland. Austria took Red Russia, or Galicia; a part of Podolia, Sando mir and Cracow, and Russia took White Russia, with all the part be yond the Dnieper. The second par tition was in .1793, by which Prus sia acquired the remainder of Great and a portion of Little Poland, and the Russian boundary was advanced to the center of Lithuania and Vol hynia. In the third and final par tition, in 1795, Austriaa had Cra cow, with the country between the Pilica and the Vistula. Prussia had the capital, with the territory as far as the Niemen, while the rest went to Russia. , Report of the Condition Of Toe First National Bank of Heppner in the State of Oregon, at the Close of Business, Jan. 13, 1914.
