A photograph is sun picture. The prin-
ciple of it may be illustrated simply. When
you look at any object a tiny picture of that
object, upside down, is made in the back
part of your eye, upon the retina. Further,
if during n bright sunlight yon cover
the window with heavy oilcloth
or paper curtain, so as to darken
all the room, and prick a pinhole through
the curtain, upon the floor, where the light
shine, through, you will see bright spot
which is an image of the sun. During the
late eclipse many persons obtained very
small but perfect view of it in that way.
The image ON the floor showed the distinct
dark shadow of the moon, upside down.
Very well. That is the precise principle Of
