! his likeness, and taking into consideration the number of his phases, an art gallery to con- tain them. If some enterprising young man Of this class would begln his travels for this purpose, he should first get out of Brooklyn as quickly as possible, for the.merry, rollicking weather only visits this place at times When he does come, he does it on the plan of a star actor, with programme to this effect Performance will begin on Monday evening at o'clock sharp, and will continue through the week. The company promises that they l will do their best in the way of variety. Pos. itively only one week" And when the week IS over, the weather, together with his com. pany, goes of and leaves all things to dry up l under Old Sops rays. His recent departure was what caused the New York water fam inc, without doubt. Learned scientists shake their bald pates and say, "The world is dry ing up," when the real cause, of course, is, that Mir. Weather has gone off on 8 Clark. " Therefore it is 8 good plan, if that aforesaid photographer wishes variety, to depart from Brooklyn and go where he can get it. After setting out from Brooklyn, he should then enter the borders of New England, but should not tarry long in Connecticut for that is the real home of the weather, but just staying long enough to catch one good likeness and to spoil 30 odd negatives, he should hastily pack up his effects and be off; or, he will be so saturated with Connecticut weather that he will infect, by his touch all negatives taken of weather found in other states. Let him flee Massachusetts, it is too near Connecticut for originality, but when he has arrived in New Hampshire he may journey more slowly, in fact so slowly, that perchance he may have to wait for the weather. Once in while he stops en route to take peculiar picture of the weather, but ever he journeys onward, like the brave ''Upidee." He does not stop again until he arrives at the White Noun tains. Here he finds a field for work, both rare and beautiful. He ascends Mt Wash ington, and ten minutes after he reaches the summit he has to unpack his traps, to take a beautiful cloud effect; the negative of the cloud effect is no sooner finished than he shoves in plate for rain storm, the light. ming actually being taken by his lightning photographing machine; this taken, he slides in one for 8 hail storm. running great risk of being killed by the hail stones, as they are no smaller than hens eggs, then he thrusts in one for snow storm, the flakes of which 80 block up the muzzle of his instrument that he loses 8 negative while clearing it out However, be works lively. and just catches the snow storm as it changes into tornado, and fearing by this that he will lose his mag ni6cent and extremely rare portraits of the weather, he grabs up his negatives, and flies, as it were, the wind helping him. in bee line for the Summit House, ard leaving his valuable lightning photographing machine to the mercy of the storm. The next day when he goes to look for it, all he sees is one of the slide blocks which was used to hold the negatives, and one leg ''de machina una" sticking up through the snow. He sighs and groans over his loss, but instantly cheers up at the recollection of his weather panorama, vowing that he will come here iD the Spring, and write history of ''The Vagaries of the Weather" at Mt. Washington during Spring time, placed in new light, beautifully illus. trated with photographs taken on the spot, by poor but honest photographer.
