"Accident last week discovered a new development in photo graphy," says Dogberry, in a re- cent issue of the City Press. "A lady called on q photographer to have her likeness taken, and in due course a negative was pro- duced. The artist was not satisfied with the work; the lady's face ap- peared covered with spots. He straightway took her again, but with the same result, and then he frankly told her that he was pug zled, and asked her to come again in two or three days, when per haps the sun would be more genial. She departed, but, alas, not to return; for in a few days she died of smallpox, which the accuracy and minuteness of the sun-picture had brought to light"
