twenty-three exposures without pulling
out the slide. 1t is quite needless to say
that the wooden negative" was never
developed.
The amateurs again have a very en-
barrassing habit of misplacing their
stops" and after hurried but fruitless
search are forced to forego the pleasure
of taking shot at some interesting
scene.
Another mistake often made results
in the unconscious possession of COM
posite negative, which may include a
little of every thing. These are al
ways interesting, and sometimes funny.
Likewise they are generally objection
able. for the composite arrangement
usually includes scene the artist was
particularly anxious to reproduce.
As an adjunct to professional studies
amateur photography is being gone into
quite extensively. One medical student
at West-side college has several large
albums filed with ceases" of all sorts
and descriptions. Whenever he meets
any thing in hospital life Tor DEATH
particularly grewsome, he takes a shot
at it. The instan taneous process has
also been an important factor in the
decision of many intricate law points,
as the Office performed by any me-
chanica1 device in action can be deter
mined beyond question, provided it is in
sight.

become as infatuated with the business
as are the older users of the camera, any
one of whom would as soon think Of
voluntarily giving up his good right
hand as to calmly entertain a PROPOSE
ton to do away with his apparatus.
The reasons for this are not far to
seek. Viewed strictly as an amusement
amateur photography is fascinating In
the extreme. 1t is as healthful an eI-
ercise as one can possibly indulge In,
and the very highest element in social
and business way give it their indorse-
ment and support. These reasons
sufficiently explain the popularity Of
this art-science. ~ I'll;
The growth Of amateur photography
has been SO gradual that no one can
tell exactly when or where it began, or
to what fortuitous circumstance it owes
its origin. Like most of the pies which
society has hand in making, it is older
in Europe than in America. Abroad the
enhancing occupation is smiled upon
by royalty, for the Duke of Edinburgh
and the Prince of Wales are both presi-
dents of amateur photographers assoc
Citations. In democratic America every
important city now has its club. The
oldest and largest organization is
the New York Society of Amateur Pho
tographers, about seven years of age,
with an active membership Of some two
hundred. The New York Camera Club
is similar organization, but is slightly
different in its personnel, being patron
lied almost exclusively by Mr.. Meal
listers 1900" The Chicago Camera Club
ranks second, having membership of
about one hundred and fifty; but what
they lack in age and numbers they more
than make up in enthusiasm and club
appointments, the latter being in point
of perfection far ahead of the facilities
possessed by any similar organization
in the country. Philadelphia, Boston,
Cincinnati, st. Louis and New Orleans
also have clubs to which they point
with pride"
In England amateur photography is
being put to a novel but excellent use.
The various camera clubs of the King
dom are engaged in making photo
graphic surveys of their districts. Sue
ceeding generations, therefore, will be
able to see what England looked like in
the nineteenth century. The idea does
not seem bad one for adoption in
America.

Nothing accomplishes this purpose quite

amusement and instructive diversion
amateur photography ranks high. It
has been steadily growing in public IA
vor since about 1872, when the dry-plate
process was introduced. This, by the
way, was the invention of an amateur.
