The report that De Pauw University Is
practically out of debt will be cheering news
to the many friends of the institution and
to the public generally. De Pauw has been
in debt for long time. and the tale of its
woes has been monotonous and rather
wearying one. To be out OF debt, however,
means renewed and. no doubt. successful
efforts 10 increase the endowment. which
means a new lease of life and prosperity.
Deb; Is no less incubus TO the public
institution than to the private citizen.

have been asked to write this letter for the
benefit of American teachers, and to point out
the availability of the Summer School for holi-
day tourists of moderate means, especially
women. 1 only say that men and women
are received as students for these special courses
on equal terms and foreigners are welcomed
with unaffected cordiality. A guinea for the
Jingle course and 80 shiIlings for the double
5rm of twenty-four days are moderate charges
for tuition; and the ticket for the summer meet
iag is supplemented by a certificate, which
secures a material reduction of railway fares
when it is presented at booking offices to and
from Oxford. American teachers can hardly
expect to live anywhere in England more eco
pomically than they can do in Oxford during
the greater part of August, If they attend the
sessions of the Summer School. Entirely apart
from the intellectual stimulus which they will
receive from advanced courses of lectures under
the direction of eminent specialists, they can
hardly fail to have a restful and delightful
vacation at Oxford, for it is the natural haunt
of dreamers and contemplative minds, and is
far removed from the maddening hurly -burly
and whirl of a noisy and bustling world. If
they spend two or three weeks there among
the tranquil gardens and stOried quadrangles,
they viii come to have a sense of the dig
nifty Of scholarship and the serenity of intellect

TAKING LONG SHOTS.
Distance Photography Producing
Fine Results.

The cleaning and repairing of Miss Liberty"
the statue on the dome of the National Capt.
tol is respectfully termed by WashingtOnians,
recently called into play for the benefit of The
Tribune readers comparatively branch of
Photography. From no accessible point except
the scaffolding around the statue, which can be
reached only by a highly dangerous climb up a
series OF outside ladders, which no professional
photographer cares to attempt, can view be
secured. Besides even with lenses of the short
est focus, fixed in small cameras, the distance
from the figure possible within the limits of
the scaffolding is not sufficient to include more
than a fourth of its height in a single pho
tograph.
With the ordinary lens, even Of extraordinary
focal capacity, the statue from the earth, from
any accessible height within the requisite dis
tance or from the roof of the Senate or House
wing Of the Capitol itself, is too small for illus
trative purposes. From the roof. too, the tilt
of the camera is too great for pleasing picture,
even If a figure of sufficient size were possible.
The telephoto lens combination with one of the
best anastigmatic objectives made affords, how
ever, a partial solution of the difficulty, and
with such a combination a Tribune photog-
rapher recently obtained a view which clearly
shows the worl1men at their tasks more than
five hundred feet above the earth and portrays
Of its details. This photograph was made
from the roof of the Congressional Library,
more than thousand feet distant Even at
that distance however, the angle upward was
so great that the figure could be included on
plate eleven inches by fourteen only by fitting
the camera considerably, after the capacity of
the rising front had been exhausted
From the same point of view the eye could
not discern the figures of the workmen, and the
same objective, a twelve-inch anastigmatic
doublet of the highest class, gave height of
less than half an inch to the statue and it's
base. The height of the lantern of the dome in
the same photograph is five-eighths Of an inch
In the telephotograph the height of the statue
and base is two and quarter inches, the figure
of a workman on the scaffold is about the height
of the statue and base in the smaller photo
graHh, and the height of the lantern little
more than two inches. Something doubtless
new to thousands who have viewed the statue
from the ground shows in the telephotograph
The words "E pluribus unum" encrcIe the base
and are legible in the Photographic print In
photographs of the head and shoulders Of the
statue made by the workmen with a small
camera at close quarters on the scaffolding, the
remaining spikes many of which have been
melted off by electrical discharges into the
