Photography is often called into
court as witness whose testimony
can not be impeached It is a detec-
tive of forged or disguised handwrit-

atation or 1 alteration, the eye of the
camera will search out, and the SEN

the building of what is probably the
largest camera in the world. The bel
lows may be extended twenty-fv feet,
and is connected with a dark room,
which also serves as a plate holder.
The lens seems out of all proportion

two inches in diameter, but its mag

see the great rejecting telescope of
Lord Rosse. 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.
With it he took over fifteen hundred
photographs of the heavens; and the
instrument is still in use in Harvard
observatory. The telescope not only
reveals more than can be seen by the
eye alone, but the sensitive film sur
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 if 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 a 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 sor trails of the stars. The
telescope was adjusted to the speed of

THROUGH THREE ZONES.

The Oregon's Voyage a Triumph for Any
Ship and Wonder for a Battleshio. ).
= Monday, May 9, the Oregon left Ba-
hia, and on the second night out pass
ed fleet of vessels which she believed
were the Spaniards. On May IA the
Spaniards were reported at Curacao,
so it is hardly possible that the Oregon
could have been near the enemy that
night. With all lights out, however,
she passed these vessels in the dark
ness,. according to her orders, which
were to "avoid all ships and make for
home.' She put into Barbados, flying
a yellow quarantine flag to keep Off
lnquisitive strangers, and within six
, teen hours was off again, at full speed,
making 420 miles in .twenty-four hours
Upon receiving a dispatch announcing
her arrival at Barbados, the secretary
of the navy had given out to the nation
that the great battleship was safe.
Jupiter Lighthouse, on the southeast
ern coast of Florida, was signaled on
. Tuesday, the oath, and again reported
the Oregon to Washington. Two days
later she anchored at Sands Key, off
Key West-safe at home, after the
longest voyage ever made by battle
ship. And what was her condition

Two Interesting Buildings.

Pictures Of two interesting Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad buildings have been
reproduced in a recent issue Of TRUTH.
One is the building at Frederick, Nd.
which has been used since 1881 as g.,
freight station and which is still de-
voted to that purpose. In the little
cupola of the building bell once
hung which was always rung on arriv-
al of trains from Baltimore when
horses were the motive power Of the
railroad.
The other building is the station at
Mount Glare, Baltimore, and it is noted
as being the location of the first tele-
graph office in the world. It was from
this building that Professor Morse
sent his celebrated message in 1914 to
his friends in Washington, forty miles
away.

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

ThesSensitive Plate Reveals More Than
I ~ the Eye Can See.
In September st. Nicholas there is
an article on photography: It's Mar
vels,'' by Elizabeth Flint Wade. The
author says: Almost the first use in
science to which the new discovery
was put was the photographing Of the
moon, 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 that on
leaving college he went to Ireland to
