in spite Of the slOwness, he manages

that even the brisk squirrel falls {

Recommendations Device.


To the professional photographer
or amateur, who is constantly at work
on his apparatus, making several ex-
pOsures every day, it is simple mat
ter to take account of the amount Of
light which is available for affecting
the sensitive plate and gauge the time
Of the exposure properly without the
aid of any scale or a watch. But for
those who use the camera infreQuent-
" and are liable to change the brand
Of plates from time to time the scale
is almost a necessity. Then, after
the proper amount Of exposure has
been asceTtained, he must guess at
the length Of the fraction Of a second
called for, a very difficult thing to
do without having previously studied
it out by practice.
Now, however, there is no necessity
for experimenting and guessing when
each picture is taken, the operation
having been narrowed down 10 me

ton Of a camera attachment. This

being so connected that the act Of
opening the shutter sets il in motion
and causes it TO act on the closing

having only to set it by the gauge Just

The Finsen -Liaht Cure

United States Consul Frazier Of
Copenhagen, Denmark, reports that In
the Finse1 Medical Light institute.
now a state sanftarium, 1867 eases
had been treated up to May, 1903, by
the Finsen rays. OF these most were
lupus vulgaris. and in about 1000
cases the best results had been attain
ed, so that in most cases one may
count definitely upon a cure" to use
the Official language. The doctors at
the institute are extremely conserva-
tive and never promise to effect a
cure; but the records show that in a
majority Of the cases where sufferers
have been encouraged by being ad-
mitted as patients cures have been
effected. In the one case Of the
American patients where the physi-
clans have not yet determined wheth-
er they can give relief, it appears the
patient is suffering from a rather
deep-seated cancer, but the Finsen
rays do not cure any but the most
superficial cancers.
