Power of the Camera.

The wonderful power of a photo
graphic camera to bring out details
that are invisible to the naked eye
was referred to by w. Lewis Fraser
in his lecture at the Academy Of
Fine Arts, and he vouched for a re-
markable instance of that kind which
recently occurred in New York. A
photograph was taken of one of the
new American liners, and on receipt
of the proof the owners were sur
prised to see handbill pasted on the
side of the hull. An examination Of
the ship showed no handbill there,
but another photograph revealed the
same result. A more thorough in
spection revealed the presence of the
mysterious paper buried beneath four
coats of paint so completely as to de-
fy the scrutiny of human eye, ex-
ceEt within the closest quarters. -

CALIFORNIA HARVEST SCENE.
a machine That souts, ,iThreshes. and Sacks
tie Grain.

| A Machine That souts, ,iThreshes, and Sacks
the Grain.
The accompanying Illustration
shows scene son large California
wheat ranch in harvest time. Many
men not so verysold can easily remem-
ber when the best known manner OF
harvesting wheat anywhere In Ine
world was by means of the cradle"
swung from right to left by one man,
who thus cut the grain and laid it in
a continuous swath, hence 1T was
raked up and bound ;in sheaves by
the man who followed close behind
the GRADER with wooden -toothed
hand rake Two men thus equipped
could cut and bind from two to five
acres in one day, but to' keep up the
work for week or'two m succession
with an average Of three acres per
day was called good record. To be
sure, the cradle" was vast advance
over the sickle which preceded 1t,
and which had been used in the har-
vest for thousands of years, but tn
the wheat farmers OF to-day both are
as antiouated as the ark of Noah.
The machine here shown Is the
latest triumph in harvesting ma
chinery known to the, harvest fields
of California 1t is a marvel OF
power and efficiency and will no doubt
long remain at or very near the head
of the list. The great traction en-
gine which moves the whole weighs
twelve tons. 1t moves at speed of
three and a half miles per hour, cuts
swath twenty-five feet wide and
harvests hundred acres per day. Ii
not only cuts the grain, but threshes
1t. sacks it and piles it in heaps OF
nine sacks each. Only'eight men are
required to do all this, and they work
under the shade of an awning. The
cost of such train Of ponderous har-
vest machinery is S6,00Oc and it is
cheaper, in proportion to its capabili-
ties, than was the Old-fashiDned
cradle at S.. To Go the'same amount
of work by animal power would re-
Quire at least fifty horses and also a
great many more men. 1t will thus
be seen that although the firstcost OF
such harvesting machine is greater,
it is after all, the least expensive ap-
pliance that exists for harvesting
large areas.
To show the absolute necessity OF
such machinery in THESE days of enor-
nous production Of cereals. we have
only to cite the fact that the farmers
of the United States harvested last
year "a, 629, AIS acres of wheat OF
this immense acreage $3.50, 400 acres
were harvested in California, 2,76S,-
O92 in Kansas, 2,6S3,904 in Ohio,
2,523, 362 in Indiana, 1.34S, 462 in
Illinois, 3,197, 1863 in Minnesota,
2,414, 2S1 In South Dakota and 2, 1885,

wheat crop of the United States in
1893 was 800, 131, a25 bushels.
