are intelligent. That is why a mega
tive should be softened and have all
the delineation possible in it, unless
the face is wicked one, in which case
by all means obliterate it. If the face
is a good one and the photographer
makes the subject look like a vacant
imbecile in alabaster, he should be
prosecuted for defamation of charac-
ter.
Nothing is more beautiful than to
see the lines that are caused by good
woman of the world. There you see
a hard solid face with tight lips and
cold eye, especially the gambler, whose
main study is to hide his expression.
The smile of this type is mechanical,
like the stereotyped smile of a city
waiter. The cold calculating person
smiles with his mouth. The good
conscience smile is in the eyes. There
is more to be read in the eyes than in
all the other parts of the face put to-
gether. The life spot in the eye should
never be tempered with, for that is the
life of the face, continually changing,
like the rays from diamond. 1t shows
the thoughts of the owner. Obliterate
the little reflection of the eye, then the
face becomes dead. How wanting in
character are most of the Photographic
portraits, owing to the manipulation
of the photographer (who by the way
is sometimes called an artist. If he
makes picture of an ugly person or
commonplace scene, he is a photogra
pher, if with decent lenses and tole-
rable instrument a charming person,
and a picturesque scene, he blossoms
into an artist.
The portrait as likeness nas not
improved. The daguerreotype made
half century ago is equal to any por-
trait taken now, and far superior to
many. There is more modelling and
character in them than in the pictures
of today. The reason is that the da-
guerreotype was not ruined by the So
called art of "retouching,' branch in
photography that obliterates natures
finest work. Retouching is indispen
sable but should be manipulated by
an artist.
Photography has revolutionized al
most very profession and trade. In
considering what it has accomplished
since it's discovery, it is one of the
greatest and most important discover
les of the present century. 1t has kept
pace with steam and electricity, has
taught us wonderful things, and has al
so shown us that nature is marvellous
in her changes of light and FORMS Be-
fore its discovery the artist who sat for
hours and days watching the changes
of tints and graduations of light and
shadow, was the only authority upon
composition. At present, almost any
one who takes up the study may soon
learn to tell how a picture should be
balanced by rocks, trees of shadow;

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

Soap is not the enemy to the COM
plexion which many people consider it.
It is infinitely better for the skin than
the dirt which will collect in the pores
after a warm and dusty day with much
wheeling or travelling. Olive oil soap
is always the best for the face, but it
should be thoroughly rinsed off after
using. The hands are better for bath
ing the face than cloth or sponge. and
the motion should be rotary and up-
ward, rather than downward. Discre-
ton can be used with soap, as with
other things, for too much of it will
dry the skin.

that the foreground should be of proper
strength and shadow and form to make
a picture pleasing to the eye. The
kodak has been an excellent teacher.
After a person has taken a few pic
lures be begins to see details and form
that probably he would not have no.
ticed before He makes comparisons
with other students, and so gradually
comes to admire nature as she should
be admired Daguerre, who invented
photography in 1889, gave an exposure
from seven to eight hours. Now we
get pictures in less than one-hundredth
part of second, which shows that the
eye is very slow in comparison with
other things. The quick shutter and
sensitive plate have shown that the
horse in motion moves differently from
what we were in the habit at seeing.
When the process became generally
known, changes took place very rapid
| ~. The fine art world felt it most. At
that time most pictures were reproduc-
were brought to a standstill. Publish
| ers countermanded their orders, and
stopped the engraver when they found
that photographers could be made for
about half the cost, and the public not
know the difference. The result is that
the engravers, not having much work,
do not take apprentices, and the beau
tiful art is gradually dying out.
Nearly every branch of art is assist
ed by photography. The painter, if he
be landscape or portrait painter, can
utilize a photograph of piece of foil
age or drapery. There is scarcely any
process for illustrating periodicals,
without the aid of photography. Fifty
years ago picture of any subject cost
ten times more than 500 bound in good
book form cost at the present time 1t
is astonishing the number of uses to
which photography has been put, often
times with marvellous results. For in
stance, the principal protection that
banks have in paying out money is the
perfOration of the amount the check
call for. 1t is very easy for the forger
to raise the amount that is in writing,
and not leave noticeable trace to the
eye; but it always leaves light yellow
stain that may be so delicate that the
microscope cannot detect it, and yet
photography will register the delicate
color.
A check was once brought to the
writer which had been raised from $38
to Sc, 800. The experts were not sure how
the change had been made The check
was enlarged by photography and it
was shown that the forger had cut out
the star before the amount, had filled
the hole, had perforated two ciphers
and another star so nicely and cleverly
that the change was not detected under
the microscope. The enlarged photo
graph showed the patch very plainly,
!proving that the perforating is no long
er protection when in the hands of
skilled forger.
During the seige of Paris, the writer
made photographs of newspapers which
were reduced. Transparencies were
made for the stereoptican. These were
sent up by balloon and dropped into
Paris. The Parisians put them into
the lantern, charging them sufficient
ly to read. FRANK DAVEY.
