PHOTOGRAPHIC OPPORTUNITIES.


Amateurs often have opportunities
presented to them which they seldom
avail themselves of, or, at least, not in a
satisfactory way. While at the seashore
last summer photographed everything
worth 1t in sight, and sighed for new
fields to conquer. An encampment Of
the naval reserve opened the way. There
were lots of brother amateurs there. and
they rushed IN on wheels, snapped the
button, and ran away again. don't
know what they got suppose the usual
6O-cents-
went there in the morning and looked
the ground over. In the afternoon I
went back with my camera and took five
pictures. There are innumerable such
opportunities presented to the amateur,
II he only keeps his eyes open. Use them
with the intention of making pictures,
and not a likeness valuable merely be-
cause 1t represents so and SO.
And further don't let any one fool you

A WINANS CAMEL BACK.

cylinders. AS inside cylinders demand
forged cranks on the driving aSles, and
as these crank aXles are liable to frac-
ture with excessive strain or after long
use, American builders have wisely
avoided them.
Between the era of the Dutch wag-
ems" and the mammoth locomotives of
to-day lie the classes of engines famil-
lar to every one, because examples of
them are still to be found working ON
every branch road. But the latest eX-
ample of engine building, as illus
trated by the ten-wheeled consolidated
passenger engines at present in use on.
the 3. & o. road, brings up such mag
nificent concentration ofspeed, strength
and endurance as were never before
seen in the history of the world. These
engines have six coupled wheels, six
feet six inches in diameter, cylinders
21X26 inches, and a steam pressure of
40 pounds to the square inch. They
haul the Royal Blue line trains. and on
many occasions have gone mile in so
seconds, while one of them has been
timed covering mile in 80 seconds.
When it is borne in mind that horse
power" really means what very strong
horse can lift in minute, the force of
one of these engines will be realized
by conceiving HOO horses all able to
make one mighty pull at the same mo-
ment. AS to speed, one of these en-
gines will advance at the almost in
conceivaDly rapid rate of 100 feet in D
second. There may be inventions
which may be considered more marvel

WoRp OF ADVICE.

It's the custom to pirate of the sadness,
The sins and the sorrows of life:
But I'd rather speak of the gladnesS
And beauty with which it is rife;
For the darkest of clouds has its lining,
The hardest of labor brings sleep;
Meath the rocks there is gold for the
mining,
And pearls may be found in the deep.
Is it better to sip of life's nectar,
Or purposely drink of its gall?
Would you willingly walk with a specter,
II angels would come at your call?
Would you rather have sunshine and light
ness,
OR darkness and gloom in your dreams?
AS for me, I would cherish the brightness
With which. the whole universe teens.
Look around and behold the earth's glory
The mountain, the river and plain; =
For they tell us an exquisite story,
The burden of Natures refrain.
How the Father of love, in His kindness,
Has given us more than we know;
Though we throw it aside in our blindness.
And reap of the pain which we SOW.
But, to harvest the best of lifes treasure,
One lesson must early be learned,
That we give to each other a measure
OF what our best efforts have earned.
Then, my children, pray you be ready
To search, as you go, for the flowers,
And to share what you have with tho
needy,
For thus youth have blessings in showers

The variety of locomotive still known

Ross Winans between 1850 and 1853.
