Photographing by Electricity.
The Importance Of artificial light In
photography has kept pace with the i'm
provement Of the standard demanded
in the work of the best photographers.
In the early days Of the use OF the
electric light in Photographic studios,
the darkness Of the shadows was q
source of dismay to tile operator. Van
der Weyde devised q refractor OF ala
baster, on which the light was thrown.
The refractory rayssweree collected on
a reflector and by it thrown ON the
sitter. The shadows were thus softened
and a brilliant and artistic picture was
secured.
Since then many features have been
introduced for augmenting the dexibil-
ity and effectiveness oil the electric
light in photography. OF these the
latest is an incandescent system, con-
sisting of a round hoop, four feet in
diameter, on the inside OF which are
ranged forty twenty-five candle-p0wer
lamps, backed up by a dome OF white
silk. This is affixed to a beam sus-
pended from the ceiling, SO that It can
be removed to any part OF the studio at
will. A regulator is so connected as to
be under the control Of the operator,
who can instantly turn on two, four,
six, or any number Of lamps while
focusing, Afterward the remainder of
the lamps are slowly turned on, until
the whole forty are burning at full
candle-power.
1t is claimed that by this gradual In
crease in the lighting power the sitter
Is neither startled MOI Inconvenience
by the strong light that Is being used
during the exposure. Many photogra-
piers nov say that they would rather
take a picture by the electric light than
by daylight, and the electric lamp is
found specially useful ins enlarging.-

Future of the Microscope.

AS the physicians assistant and guide
in diagnosis, the microscope is coming
rapidly to the front. 1t is now the GUS
tom with some advanced physicians
whenever there is a case with obscure
symptoms, or where consultations are
thought necessary, to draw few drops
of the patients blood and examine ii
under the microscope. This almost in
variably decides the condition and is,
in many diseases, an infallible guide,
as the blood is the great sewerage sys-
tenn Of humanity. 1t takes up and car
ries to the lungs whatever impurities
may exist There they are consumed or
exhaled. It therefore stands to reason
that the blood is the index to the state
Of the system.
Another test adopted by all up to date
doctors is the examination Of the per-
SEPARATION after great degree Of heat
has been applied to the body. The suf-
ferer is put into steam box, and after
some moments Of profuse perspiration
the surface Of the body is scraped with
sharp steel instrument, by means OF
which whatever impurities are thrown
out may be taken from the pores. This,
with the blood examination, is thought
by some practitioners to afford all Of
the assistance necessary in determining
the nature Of the most obscure diseases.
Of course, there are what may be called
new diseases, and this method will en-
able the skilled microscopic to detect
them and study their genesis and treat
ment. New York Ledger.
