NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS.
Beautiful Cloud Effects.

our city for few weeks stay. He is
located over Will Miller's barber shop.
Mr.. Cole has the knack (Which is sell
dom seen) of taking clouds that may
be floating in the sky at the time the
exposure is made. In most scenery
photos the scenery is to be seen but
the effect is spoiled by blank appear
ance of the sky, no matter what clouds
may be visible. This new photograph
er has shutter that gives short ex-
posure to the clouds and time exposure
on darker objects that would not take
distinctly if taken with the short
attachment. In this manner the
clouds appear in the print, making a
picture excatly as the cloud conditions
were. With another arrangement on
the shutter moro time can be given to
the dark or shaded side of the house
than to the light, and a much evener
and more artistic effect is the result.
Mr.. Cole comes here with the best
recommendations from prominent
people, both U. S. officials and private
citizens which, of course would have
weight with some classes of people.
However his work speaks for itself and
no recommendations are needed after
one sees some his pictures. He is an
artist in interior work and our people
who have pretty rooms, cosy corners
or other interiors they would like to
refer to in the future, it would be we'll
worth their time and money to have
Mr.. Cole do the work. Leave orders
at the parlors and you are sure to be
pleased. His Plunge pictures are very
fine.
Simple Photographic Lens Adaptor for
Orthochromatic and Telephoto Work.
The use of orthochromatic plates for
producing better color values in mega
tives, especially in the more accurate
rendering of the different colors in a
painting, is now quite extensive.
But to the average amatuer photo
grapher provided with folding camera
of popular size, like 4x5 or SKI, the
extra bother of carrying additional
plates and holders for obtaining such
results is annoying. Nearly as good
pictures may be obtained by photo
graphing through colored screens on
ordinary plates. The same reason is
applicable in the taking of distant OF
telephoto views, for phich usually {
special additional expensive lens il
required.
To assist the amateur in greatly
varying and utilizing the lenses he al
ready possesses to the uses above de
scribed, including several others, Mr
U. Nehring, of this city, has lately in
troduced what is termed multichromat
ic ampliscope lenses arranged to be in
serted adjacent to the diaphragm of tn
lenses used. These lens adapters havt
the property of changing the characte
of the focus of the regular lens, eithe
by elongating or shortening it, thereb.
adapting the lens to take view with
greater or less angle than it ordinaril
would.
The front lens in the lens tube is III
screwed out and the adapter droppe
in next to the diaphragm, after whic
the front lense is rescrewed in plac,
the change being made quickly. Whe
one is cramped for the proper di
tance to secure picture, the adap
er will shorten the focus sufficiently
enable the operator to obtain pictur
the right size at wider angle. Speci
colored lenses are inserted in the sam
way for photographing paintings an
other colored objects adapted to secul
the best effects. Other adapters rem,
er the lenses suitable for copying
short distances, and for enlarging.
adapting a lens for telephoto work
special tube is provided which is slipt
over the regular lens tube and carri
a negative lens for extending the col
of rays, thereby greately lengthenil
1 the focus and magnifying the image
!, the distant object.
l There is also an angular disk viii
t will cut off half the picture VIII
o thrown upon the plate, SO that dup

J. easily be made. A focusing lens is al
included. In all something like hu
