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.
