But the improvements of the last few

bring forth. Ii you had told the old "sola-

scorn. There is ne doubt that many Of the
later improvements have been made to
meet the demands of the amateurs. As this
demand increases greater efforts are made
to improve in style, methods and ease Of
manipulation. And this craze for amateur
photography among class of people who
have plenty Of money and are avilling to
spend it certainly stimulates the inventors.
On the two or three days following the
blizzard New York streets were fill of
amateurs with cameras of every size, shape
and description. The amateur photographer

was crowded 10 the wall, and he threw the
brick. Waters then went to the station, told
what had taken place, and was locked up, This
afternoon the case was heard in the Police
Court. Judge Miller did not think that the
circumstances justified the assault, and SEN
fenced Waters to 60 days in Jail
