FLORIDA ASKS FOR AID.
Many People Have Been Made Desti-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 3.-No i'm
portant additions to the list of deaths in
Florida from the hurricane are reported
to-day. In n~inety-one towns so far heard
from the killed number seventy and the
injured 164. The destruction of property is
altogether beyond estimate. The belt of
country that was devastated, extending
across the State from Cedar Keys, on the
Gulf of Mexico, to- the St. Mary's river, is
about 10 miles long by twenty miles wide
on the gulf and sixty miles wide on the
Georgia boundary. On a large part of this
area most of the buildings were destroyed
and the people are Shelterless and on the
verge of starvation.
Measures have been taken in various
places to organize relief committees, and
appeals for aid will be sent out To the
people of the United States. At a public
meeting in Gainesville $3.50 was subscribed
and a resolution was passed calling for
help from the State treasury. Similar ac-
ton is reported at Bronson, MacClenny and
other places. In this city a call has been
issued for a meeting on Monday to adopt
relief measures. The call is signed by
Mayor Bostwick, D. Ct, Amber, gold-stand-
ard Democratic candidate for Congress-;
Collector Wilson and other leading citizens.
Thousands of people resided in the devas-
tated region, and it will require a greater
amount that the State can raise to feed
them all. to say nothing of helping them
to erect houses.

When printing a vignetted picture. 1t is
better TO print in the shade than in the d.

the light will enter the opening in a

Sometimes one has a negative with fine
clouds in the sky: but in order to make a
print of them the rest of the picture must
be masked in some way or else it will be
very much ~overprinted. One way of mask
ing the part which prints too quickly Is to
cover the landscape part, following the out
line along the horizon as carefully as pos
Sible, and place it over the landscape till
the sky is printed; then remove and print
the landscape part. Unless this mask is
adjusted with the greatest care, there will
either be a white line along the horizon
or else a heavy black one, according
whether the paper overlapped or did not
quite cover the line. A much easier way
to make TIN two printings Is to take a
mark the outline of the horizon on 1t ard
cut away the pasteboard, and print with
this over the negative in the same way as
for the vignetting. When the sky is print
ed deep enough, remove the cover and print
the rest of the picture.
The openings for vignetting may be cut
in any shape desired-oval, pear-shape,
round, triangle, etc.
