the original model Of the Venus di Milo
were subjected TO the snapshot proc
ess she would look like sixth Avenue

ture were reduced TO Judging Of Ameri-

No, by itself. unaided by anything
except mechanical skill. the camera is
no more an art-producing instrument
than a tatting shuttle or a jack knife
There are possibilities in photography
which few even in professional circles
/ can realize Here and there. among
/ the members of camera clubs. or among
the professional photographers in large
cities, one may find really artistic worN,
worthy to be ranked with etchings CT
pastels if not with paintings, The
camera, in the hands Of these wizards
actually suggests color, and brings out
the character in the face Of the sitter
But as a rule the results Of amateur
photography remind one of the fancy
work which was taught in schools for
young ladies in the days before the war,
except that it lacks the interest which
all work, however inartstic, which is
real handwork. must inevitably possess.

 If she used 40 tons day she could have remained 20 days" He then stated that she could have remained 16 days, and would have sufficient coal left to reach Key West.
 Assuming the distance to Key West to be TOO miles, what coal would have been neeessary?" asked Capt. Lemly.
 Commander Schroeder: T should think 150 to 175 tons would probably have taken us there. We can always rely upon that because, as a rule, the engineers keep a little ahead rather than behind their eoai account"
 When Commander Schroeder left the stand he was requested to return tomorrow and correct the official copy of his testimony of to-day if necessary. He said he would do so, and asked if he could then be ex- cnsed. Il desire to make my prepara- tions for returning to Guam," he said. He was told that he could dc so.
 Leutenant-Commander L. C. Heil. ner, who was navigator of the Texas during the Spanish war, was next called. He said he had heard no guns fired when the squadron approached Cienfuegos. To his knowledge, no ef- fort was made to ascertain whether the Spanish fleet was in the harbor at that point, or to destroy Spanish works there. Nor had there been any effort to communicate with Cubans on shore until Capt. McCalla arrived on the Marblehead. He told how the fleet had proceeded from Cienfuegos to within two miles of Santiago.
 The witness was still on the stand when, at one o'clock, the court took recess for luncheon.

He believed the progress of the case would in no way be hindered or de laYed by short hours. He suggested that court convene at 10 a, m., and close at p. m., and that there be an intcrmission from 12 noon unail D. ID.
 Justice White expressed himself as being agreeable 10 this arrangement, believing the request to be a reason able one. He therefore made the hours of the court to conform with Mir. Lewis request.
 Benjamin J. Ralph, a bank cashier, was called to the stand at noon. Af- ter the usual questions from counsel on both sides, he was accepted and took the eighth seat in the jury box.
