CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

The Sensitive Plate Reveals More Than

In September st. Nicholas there is
an article on Photography: Its Mar

author says: Almoat the first use in
science to which the new discovery
was put was the Photographic of the
meou,- the first recorded picture being
made by Prof. Draper, and presented
to the New York Lyceum OF Natural
History. His son Henry grew SO fond
of astronomical photography tina. on
leaving college ne went to Ireland to
see the great rejecting telescope OF
Lord Rose. After seeing it he deter
mined to make one like it. The repu-
tation OF the Yankee boy-that he can
make not only the thing he undertakes
but also the machine that makes it
was proved to be deserved by, Henry
Draper; for he made and he mounted
the first American rejecting telescope.

photographs Of the heavens; and the
instrument is still in use in Harvard

reveals more than can be seen by the
eye alone. but the sensitive film sur

Photography IN tho Courts.

Photography is often called int
court as witness whose testimony
can not be impeached 1t is a detec-
tive of forged or disguised handwrit-
ing; for no matter how clever an imi-
-tation or alteration, the eye of the
camera will search out, and the SEN
sitive plate display, the fraud. A very
important case, in which the entries in
a document were in question, led to
the building of what is probably the
largest camera in the world. The bel
lows may be extended twenty-five feet,
and is connected with a dark room.
which also serves as a plate holder.
The lens seems out of all proportion
to the size of the camera, being but
two inches in diameter, but its mag
nifying power is so great that letters
one-fourth of an inch in height can
be enlarged to seven and one-half feet
and appear in their exact dimensions
and without the slightest apparent dis
tortion.-St. Nicholas.

says the Fortnightly Review. Havana
and Manila were both captured by
Great Britain in 1862. and Cuba and
the Philippines occupied. A very rare
and interesting Plain Narrative OF
the capture of Manila was published by
Rear Admiral Cornish and Brigadier-
General Draper in reply to accusations
of infringement of the capitulations
made against these officers by the
Spaniards. Their own allegations are
sufficiently strong: Through the
whole Of the above transactions the

passes the power Of the eye when aid
ed by the telescope, for the camera
records on the films objects which the
eye can not see through the greatest
magnifying lenses. No matter how far
away or how dimly it shines, the light
of the faintest star in time impresses
the film, and thus that which is invis-
ible to the eye becomes visible on the
plate. In celestial photography the
camera is kept moving during the TAX
ing of picture. The exposure some
times lasts several hours, and il the
camera were stationary the motion of
the earth would soon carry the subject
out of line with the telescope The
camera, therefore is attached to the
tube of the telescope, and the object to
be photographed is brought into the
lens at the intersection Of two cross
wires. Then. by system Of clock
work, the telescope moves so that the
subject occupies the same position on
the plate during the exposure. In
the picture Of the Swift comet may be
seen small white lines These are the
marks or trails Of the stars The
telescope was adjusted to the speed of
the comet, and as it Travelled much
faster than the stars the photographs
Of the stars appear as streaks instead
Of as points OF light. It is another
curious feature of celestial photogra-
ply that plate may be exposed sew

changes in the law. Olaf went back
to his claim. but had no heart for
work. 1t worried him to have a pard-

so exalted rank. But Olaff found it
hard work; thinking and idling were
strange to him, so he gradually drifted
into working regularly on his claim as
hard as ever.

contented:
Il don't want no pardner. but my

he can't have no better pardner than
the Queen. She's all right as a pard-
ner."
Olaf is still working on his claim,
and the only thing that troubles him
is whether his partner will come for
her share OF the dust after the wash
up, or whether it will be his duty to
take the dust to her. But Olaf is de-
termined the Queen will get her share,

QUEENS PARTNER.

OLAF Olsen made up his mind he
would 90 to the Klondike. It took him
a long time to make up his mind. It
took him a longer time to get to the
Klondike. In the first place he made
q mistake. He selected the trail from
Skaguay over the White Pass to Lake
Bennett Now that was bad, but not
80 bad as his next error. He would
not give it up and go by the Chilkoot
Pass. though he heard Chilkoot was
much easier. But that does not say
much for the Chilkoot Pass.
NO." said Ola1, Il started to 60 over
the White Pass, and is goin' to make
it over the White Pass -
Olaf had a hard time on the trail,
though he didn't know it. That is to
say, any other man would have thought
it hard time; but Olaff, expecting bad
things, had no 'kick," as he expressed
II, against adversely.
Olaf was an exceptional man on the
trail phenomenaIly exceptional. For
on q trail where each man had one
partner at least and most many, Olan
preferred having no partner.
"Anoder man in the party besides
me won't du," he said. Il might
want to do one thing and him anoder;
besides. don't want no pardner, no
how. Partners always means trouble"
The experience Of many men on the
trail confirmed the wisdom OF Olah's
views. Nothing discouraged Olah.
When misfortune overlook him, he set
to work to do what he could for the
best" Up before daybreak. he cooked
a substantial breakfast-for he be-
lieved in feeding himself well-and
with fifty pounds more on his back
than any other man could carry started
OF on the trail, climbing over rocks
and wading through mud, keeping at
1t all day with a short interval for
lunch:
It took him ten days to move his
outfit from station to station. Diff
cultfes too great for other men never
prevented Olaf from moving forward.
II he could not make ten miles, he
made five; if not five. he made two.
But he always kept moving forward.
When some Of his provisions were sto-
len he "rustled," as he called it, and
worked for others until he had earned
enough to replace what had been sto-
len. Then he moved on his own out
ft. When at last he reached Lake
Bennett, he built boat and calmly
set sail without any of the excitement
which others exhibited. Men wanted
to buy passage in his boat and assist
him to manage it, but Olaf said:
mo: don't want no passengers, and
guess can handle the boat myself"
At the Tagish Lake Custom House
Olaf worked four days to pay for the
duty on his goods, and went on his
way without the delay ruffling his tenn
per. He sailed his boat around the
point at Windy Arm, when thirty
other boats hauled up on the beach.
