PHOTOGRAPHIC HORSES.
Little Tricks of the Camera to Get the
Best Effects.

Photographs of horse show prize
winners and of beasts whose owners
aspire to honors are in good demand
during horse show times, and photo
graphers who make that branch of the
business a specially have a busy time.
1T is no easy matter to make a good
horse picture" said one photographer
although every amateur thinks him.
self equal to the task. A horse must
be taken from the proper point or
his owner will not recognize the
picture. If the camera is too near
the subject certain points will be ex-
aggerated in the photograph
The best results are obtained by
placing the horse on a slight incline,
so that the fore feet are trifie
higher that the hind feet. This
position throws the head up. Then
swapping the fingers or making any
slight noise will cause the animal
to prick up. his ears, and at the
moment when he is in this position
of attention the photographer makes
the picture.
when horses in harness are to be
photographed they must be posed on
level ground or on a slight incline.
To make them look alive a hat or
card is sometimes scaled in front Of
them, and at the moment when they
look up the snap shot Is made.
when pictures of horses in action
are made we usually place the
camera near the ground, and by
that means we get the best hoof
positions, which cannot be secured
when the camera is held or placed at
the ordinary height.
ITO make pictures of jumping
horses the same method is employed,
and the height Of the jump is some
times exaggerated by placing the
camera below the track level An
excavation is made in the ground FOR
that purpose, and pictures made
from there increase the apparent
height of hurdles and make small
jump look something remarkable"

DEVICES FOR COOLING THE AIR.
Wet Window Screens and Bowls of
QuickIime Suggested fer Dog-Oays.

0ulCkilIhS ol9SeSNSu ISi SS9-SaJS'
There are several devices that
may be used to cool the air during
the dog-days," writes Maria Parloa,
in The Ladies' Home Journal for
August. "A modified form of the
Tattie employed in India for this pur-
pose could be made in any country
house. On frames like those used for
window screens tack enough narrow
tapes to make a support for thick
bed of grass. Now cover with long
grass fastened to the frames by sew
ing with Irvine These screens
should be placed in the windows and
kept wet. The air passing through
them is cooled. A garden syringe
may be used to spray them with
water. Three or four of these
screens will do a great deal toward
keeping the air in the house cool and
fresh. A simpler screen may be
made by covering the frame with
coarse flannel, which should be kept
wet. 1t is not so effective as the
grass screen, and the flannel dries
more quickly than the grass. A still
simpler device is to have wet flannel
over the ordinary screen, wetting the
flannel from time to time. Some of
the moisture may be removed from
the atmosphere by placing large
Jumps of quiCklime in earthen bowls
about the rooms"
