Charles Hughes, of Red Bluff, Cal.

able picture of a deer. He chose a
spot where deer were known to be plen-
tiful, and set up his camera and flash
light apparatus in such way thatadeer
in passing would press the button, open
ing the shutter of camera and firing
the fash-hght. The next day he found
that the button had been pressed, and
on developing the plate he found an
excellent picture of frightened deer.

vious night, when no one was within
miles of the camera.
