it does not hurt ones conscience to
throw them away, for they cost but a

This is generally worked on satin or
cloth on which a floral design has been
sketched-daisies are perhaps the most
effective kind Of t1ower-the scrolls and
the leaves and the flowers are then
formed Of reversible ribbon about half
an inch or ~ inches wide. 1t wants a
bold design, with not too many curves.
Geometrical patterns as borders for ia

the tips of leaves add to the effect.

curios. The quarters occupied are by
nc means suitable for the work which
is done, but owing to the lack of funds
there has been no adequate provision
made for the enlargement and improve
ment of the present facilities. Several
blind doors shut off the sight of the
gallery from the communicating CORR
doris, and the gallery is only reached
after climbing rather perpendicular
and perilous circular flight of iron
stairs. The room where the principal
work Is done is occupied by the in
Vulnerable tools and appliances of the
workers, and affords anything but
an agreeable place to labor. It is
lighted by large slsylight, the roof Of
which starts from the surrounding
walls, about five feet from the floor.
The room is therefore close and
sauatty. and disagreed BILE in summer
on account of the heat, while it is I'M
comforta bic in the winter months on
account of the cold. There is also a
number of windows or small doors on
the walls from which are built large
board platforms. On these the mega
tives are placed when the pictures are
being printed By exposure to the light.
Although the photographers have in
adequate and disagreed bic quarters
their scientific appliances are said to be
the best obtainable. The institution is
fortunate, too, in being the recipient of
valuable specimens OF improvements,
which are donated by the manufacture
ers who desire them to be tested OFF,
cially. and great Importance Is attached
to the opinion of the photographers at
this studio who examine the various
appliances and put them TO the best
of cameras of all kinds, from the little
miniature plaything to the immense
tripod camera for use in taking pictures
and views of extensive landscapes and
large buildings. The largest camera in
the collection has plate 25x30 inches
To the visitor 10 the studio the most in
teresting figure in the collection is

ers' association. September 81, 1871. by
Prof 5 T. B. Morse, the well-known
inventor of the telegraph. That asso-

The role of the nerves in the diges-

mounted and polished on the cardboard
back. This fine collection of specimens
IS the result of years OF extensive re-
search on the part OF the photographer,
Mr.. Smile, who has gathered together
samples of each of the articles used IN
taking and developing photograph
from the time the first machine was in
vented until the present day. 1t is be-
ieved that the national museum will in
a short time have an additional build
ing constructed, specially for its own
use, in which the photographic studio
will be allowed a large section of space
for the exhibition of such specimens as
Mr.. Smile has been able to accumu-
late. For the present the collection is
packed away in the cabinets on the
sides of the wall, almost unknown, I'M
honored and unsung. There is also
piled in confusion on the shelves in
these cabinets large assortment of
Photographic paraphernalia which, If
sufficient space were afforded. could be
assorted and arranged in groups to
form another valuable addition to the
exhibition.
A special room 20 the left of the pho
tographic Office is given up entirely to
microscopic work and is known as the
microscopic room. This branch Of
Photographic work is MIR. Smillie's
forte. He is an expert in the work and
has won fame abroad as well as at
home. The Partisan academy of in
ventors awarded him medal for ex
cellence of workmanship in the pho
Biography of thin sections Of wood. The
microscopic room is dark and small,
and the only entrance which the sun
light has is by means of window filed
with yellow-paned glass. In this
