| set weighs 100 pounds, and each book
weighs on an average of four pounds.
Eleven thousand copies were printed,
but ii is my opinion that every old SOL
dier ought TO have full set. Each and
every soldier did his part in furnishing
the material and there should be copy
for each of them. Reading matter of
not nearly so interesting nature is
given out free by the Government, and
there is no reason WHY this valuable
book should not be placed in the hands
of the men who helped make it. and
who would appreciate it. No matter II
the printing and binding did cost in the
neighborhood of $40, 900 volume, we are
rich, and can stand it, and especially
when the books would give so much
pleasure to these old fellows who have
earned everything which can be done
for them. The total cost has already ex-
ceedcd s2.700, 900. but what of that. The
book is a complete history of the rec
ords of the Union and Confederate
armies and these old fellows would enjoy
reading every line. Many of them are
too old ever to get through the Job, but
their children could see what kind OF

The recent national convention OF the
photographers of the United States at
Buffalo was in reality feast OF gooc
things. and the enthusiasm OF the men,
bership for a higher class of work seems
to have been universal. Several stirring
addresses were delivered. and among ah
the speakers there was plea for bet
ter work along artistic lines, and meth
ods calculated to raise the price OF the
hetter class of work were freely dis
cussed one of the most helpful talks
was made by A. H. Griffith. OF Detroit,
who demanded that there should be
more attention paid to the art side OF
photography. and that photographers
should forget that the process was to
some extent mechanical, and remember
that all the inventions of the day were
but means through which the photogra-
pher had better opportunity to express
his ideas. and that high-class cameras
and lenses were of no avail unless the
operator could make them subservient
as aids to impress his own art teachings
in his work To illustrate the ability of
good man to accomplish his ends in
spite of all obstacles, he stated that
the winner ef the gold medal at the last
Paris salon was poor artist, who had
no money 10 purchase canvas. and who

Ebert Hubbard. the editor of the
"Philistine," was in substance the same
lecture that he delivered in this city
some three years ago. which was then
called a history of the work OF the
Roycrofters." OF course, the lecture
was interviewer with a lot of good ad-
vice to the photographers to make bet
ter work, ask better prices, and stating
as his own experience that people were
more than ever inclined to purchase ex-
pensive articles than those that were SO
cheap that the ownership brought, with
1t no satisfaction. The association made
Mr.. Hubbard an honorary member. Col |

stock houses before they come into the
possession Of the amateur for use.
Mr.. z. B. Thompson, of the Camera
Club. is spending a short vacation in a
trip to Hopewell, n. j., from which place
he will visit Atlantic City and some Of
the other resorts on the coast of New
Jersey. Mr.. Thompson carried with him
a full assortment of cameras, and a gen.
erous supply of plates, and barring the
unexpected, which seems always sure to
happen in Photographic excursions. he
ought to bring some choice negatives
back as result OF this outing.
The summer months have brought

recent Issue of a Photographic
magazine comments on the demand for
an assistant in the Photographic depart
rnent connected with one of the Gov

dry plate methods, and is also expected

astrophysical photography, telephotog-

This calls to mind a civil service ex-
animation which was held some years
ago for an assistant to one of the Gov
ernment photographers, and as one OF
the members of the Camera Club had
a tip that an examination would be
held, he commenced to prepare himself

examination. The member referred to

While the Government does not pay
large salaries to those who are en-

strange that before this a competent
Photographic staff has not been added
10 the army organization. England had
Photographic detachment as early as
the Abyssininn war. which was COM
posed of seven photographers, under a
chief photographer. France has had
photographers connected with her
armies since 1859. and at the Engineer
School at Grenoble, photography is a
part of the course. Russia placed
photography under the balloon section
of the army in 1884. and In the Enginee-
Corps twenty officers are instructed an
nually in course OF photography.
Austro- Hungary has in Its army field

knowledge of photography is numbered
among the accomplishments OF many OF
her army officers. Italy added a
