PHOTOGRAPHY ON BLACK GROUND.
Interesting and Amusing Photographs
Nude by nIultipIe Exposure.

Interesting and Amusing Photographs
Made by Multiple Exposure.
The color known as black is not, prop
erly speaking, II color at all, but the alb
sence of all color or light. A substance
that absorbs all the rays of light falling
upon it would be perfectly black, but no
such substance is actually known, as all
dyes or pigments, even of the darkest
shades, reflect asmall quantity of the light
falling upon them.
AS black, however, is the total absence
OF light, it follows that nothing can be SO
black as perfectly dark room or the out
door world on cloudy night; and, as I'M
der such conditions there can be no light,
there will be no action upon Photographic
plate exposed in such a room or upon such
night. Therefore, if we desire to take a
photograph against perfectly black back
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-13

A MAN PLAYING BALL WITH HIS OWN HEAD.
ground, we need not trouble ourselves
with hangings of black cloth, but simply
open window on cloudy evening, if we
are to use flash light, or if the picture is
to be taken by daylight, we may open the
door of dark room or building and obtain
a ckground both theoretically and prac-
tically nonactinc.
With such nonactinic background
many interesting and amusing photo
graphs may be made by IA process of null
tple exposure. The cut, for instance, rep
resents man playing ball with his own
head. This picture was taken at night by
means of flash light, three exposures be-
ing necessary, the open window forming
the background. The two small heads
were first taken in succession, the person
represented standing on the balcony out
side with black cloth thrown over his
body and the light from fash lamp being
thrown upon his head as he posed in the
different positions. He then took the po-
sition represented in the engraving, and
another flash imprinted his whole figure
and the walls of the room upon the plate,
which, when developed, gave the amusing
result shown in the illustration.
Numerous other applications of this
principle will at once occur to every pho
tographer, and the process is so simple
that very unique effects can be obtained by
any amateur possessed of the ordinary
amount of patience and ingenuity An
important point in such pictures is to have
the different images fall upon their proper
place on the plate. This is easily secured
by attaching to the ground glass bit of
gummed paper showing the position of the
smaller images-the heads in the cut, for
example. Then, when the principal ex-
posture is made, the relative position of the
different images can be accurately adj
justed by moving the camera in the usual
way. The foregoing illustration, which
originally appeared in La Nature, was re-
Gently described, as here told, in The Pop
ular Science News.

Recording the Contour of River Beds.

An instrument for taking and recording
the contour of river bottom has been in
vented by Herr Stechner, and tried on the
River Elbe. 1t consists OF a long curving
arm, which hangs from a boat into the
water and trails on the bottom. Its in
clination under the varying depth is
caused to work pencil and draw a curve
of the contour on band of travelling paper
as the boat proceeds. During the trial on
the Elbe the contour line of 297 miles of
the river bed was drawn in ten days.

SHORTEN SHY AND HERBERT
SPENCER.

Shorten Shy plays round my knee
While read Herbert Spencer
But still the more read and read
Ny ignorance grows denser:
For Shorten Shy decries my taste
And tells me every minute.
Say papa, don't like that book,
There amt no lions in it,
Now Herbert Spencer is great
a world-compelling thinker:
No heavy plummet line of truth
Goes deeper than his sinker.
But one man reads his work way through
Forthousands that begin it.
They leave one half the leaves uncut
There amt no lions in it,
The age-old errors in their den
Does Herbert Spencer throttle.
And ranks with Newton, Bacon, Kant,
And ancient Aristotle.
The mighty homage of the few
These towering giants win it.
The millions shun their hunting ground,
There amt no lions in it,
leave this metaphysic swamp,
Thick grown with sturdy ScIOnS
And roam the Meadows of Romance,
With Shorten and his lions.
He brings his gaudy Noah Ark book
And begs me to begin it,
BETTER than Hubbut 'Pencer book,
That amt no lions i'll it."
'Now wead about the efalunt
SO big he scares the people:s
An wead about the kangerwoo
Who jumps up on the teeple."
So take up the Noah's ARR book,
And sturdily begin it.
And read about the 'efalunts''
And lions that are in it.
Shorten will grow in soperness,
His life become intenser,
Some day he'll drop his ''efalunts''
And IS Ike IN Hprhart SraDoar
But life can have no happier years
Than glad years that begin it.
And life sometimes grows dull and tame
That has no lions in it.
