AT the end OF a century, certainly the
beginning of cycle of amazing scien-
tihI discoveries, when Roentgsn rays,
microscopes and photogra phs are solved
mysteries. 1t was deemed well by me
to SUBJECT the Presidential candidate
for the nominations of the different poll
tical parties 10 the process of composite
photography and the results have at
least warranted the experiment.
First, hve prominent Democrats were
chosen. President Cleveland, N.ce-P resi-
dent Stevenson, eX-Governors Bo.es,
Campbell and Russell. The picture turn
ed out TO be striking likeness Of the
President, with dash here and there
of the Vic Presidents features. The
faces of the others were otli.erated by
the personalities of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr. Stevenson.

so that the entire epoSure aggregated
exactly the total tins that would have
been given TO each subject in an ord!-
nary sitting.
In the two composites shown there
was an exposure for each person of just
one and ons-twentie,h seconds. The
pictures were made on what Is known
as six second plate, that is, to get the
proper Photographic effect it was neces-
sary to bare the plate Tor a total of six
seconds. BY sub-dlviding this into

exposure and when one and one-twan-
tieth seconds had been licked off the

In relating a few OF the bravest, bold

under my observation, recall scene at
the battle of Fredericksburg. Va. De-
cembe: 49, 1862. The army OF the Potu-
mac had crossed the ,Rappahannock un
der very difficult circumstances. The
opposite shore was lined with Confede-
rate sharpshooters, and n pontoon bridge
had to be laid under the fire OF their
rifles. Our owr sharpshoo:ars were
aligned along the bank Of the river, holly
engaged IN order TO Attract their atten-
ton, and as much as possible draw their
fire away from the corps of engineers
who were engaged in putting the pontoon
boats into the river and lazhing them
together So hot was ,he fire that many
OF the men were killed, and volunteers
were called for 70 take their places and
carry on the desperate work And there
was ready response TO the call; for. SIN
