PICTURES IN MIpAIR.
A New Idea In Photography Successfully
Carried out.

New York, June 1.--Willlam A. Eddy
took the first double photograph in mid
air that has ever been secured. He did
this with special apparatus after a year
of study.
BY his invention II will be possible 10
take from midair perfect photograph
of the entire horizon line. With such an
apparatus Eddy claims that photo
graph can be taken at sea which will
show a ship approaching when IL Is
10 miles beyond the horizon line as seen
from a ships deck.
The inventor Is confident his appara-
tus can be used to great advantage dur
ing war. The photographs were taken
with two cameras. but II is proposed to
arrange eight so that they will photo
graph the entire horizon at once.
