make. during the middle Of the day. a
successful negative Of building facing
the north. for we would be facing or point
ing the lens directly at the sun, which
should never be done. In addition to the
reflection on the lens we would not be
able to secure the proper amount OF defini-
tion or detail in the front of the building.
1t would be a ehadow. while all the other
surrounding parts would be in strong
light. These parts would be too much
contrast. In the case of a house facing
the east It would be better to make the
exposure when the sun has reached the
point where Il falls just little off to the
side of the front. OF course If we have
house to, photograph that is facing the
west the exposure should not be made
until after the sun has passed the meridian
far enough to fall on the side and front.
A house facing the south is the easiest of
all to handle. as it can be made either

Fort Worth, Texas, May s.-About

county twelve miles southwest of this
city and did considerable damage to grow

Denton, Texas, May 2.-No general rain
has fallen in Denton county since that Of
Monday night and as result all tho
streams have subsidized, all except Elm
Fork having assumed their usual proper

run down. Aside from number of head
of cattle drowned in the food, the dam
age is not so bad as was at first thought,
and 1t is now belived that replanting
of lowland cotton inundated by the freshet
will not-except possibly in very few
extreme cases-be necessary. The cessa-
