PHOTOGRAPHS WITHOUT LENSES.
With a Little Care Excellent Pictures
Can Be Made with Pinhole Cameras.

With Little Care Excellent Pictures
Can Be Made with Pinhole Cameras.
The taking Of Il photograph, and q
good one, too. with a camera without a
lens, may seem to many utterly lmpossl-
bic. Nevertheless it is done, and this
innovation in photography has become an
interesting feature with many lovers OF
the Photographic art.
y piece Of tinfoil, through which was
pierced Il fine needle hole, to serve the
purpose Of q lens III admitting light to
the sensitive plate, was secured to the
front piece Of a camera, III place of Il
lens, and the exposure made III the regn-
lar manner. Pictures thus made are
now popularity known as pinhOle photo
graphs. The pictures, however, were not
wholly satisfactory, owing to the difficult
" OF getting a perfectly round and
smooth hole through this soft, flexible
metal, for in this lay the main principle
OF success. But this has led to the
bringing out Of & new invention called
the kaleidoscope" which consists Of Il
very thin piece of hammered brass plate.
through which is bored an accurately
round and smooth hole, and so mounted
that 1t can be quickly adjusted to any
camera, or any light tight box that fancy
may dictate.
There is Il lack of that extreme sharp
ness produced by q regular Photographic
lens; but, as has been wisely said, this
IS more than compensated for by soft
ness Of tone eQualed only by the brush
of an artist
The interest manifested in this new
objective is due to the fact that it is O.:
universal fOcus-the rays focusing i'll the
stop; the perspective is true, no part of
the picture being out of focus, while in
terror and architectural photographs are
roc Il, of
any klnd-for the rays Of light fall di
rectly upon the plate without interfer
ence Of any kind.
Nor is the work of the pinhole OBJ
Jecnve confined to any one subject, for
with it most pleasing portraits can be
made. And it is said that work requir-
ing the sharpest definition, such as
copies, reproduction of documents, etc,
can be often better done by the pinhole
objective than it can with a fine lens.
The reason is obvious. a lens focuses
often sharper than the eye, giving a
start, unnatural effect to the resulting
print.
Another singular feature in connection
with the pinhole objective is that any
size camera may be used. For instance,
1t Will take Il picture upon n plate three
inches long or twenty inches long. There
fore 1t will be seen that all one has to
do Is TO arrange his camera for Il small
or large plate, and with the latter in
terestlng panoramic views could be Sc
cured There is no doubt that Il very
cheap and satisfactory folding camera
in which to use any of the present series
of roll films, could be made for special
panoramic work.
OF course, it should be understood that
owing to the small amount Of light adj
mitted through Il pinhole objective. the
time Of exposure will naturally be longer
than with Il lens; and while it is possible
to overeXpose there is less liability than
with Il lens.-Scientific American

FROM WEST HAM TO CANADA.
Emigration Called in to Relieve London
of It's Suffering Poor.


Last night saw the departure Of the
fourth batch of families sent from East
London to Canada, under the scheme or
ganiZed in connection with Ihe Iele-
graph shilling fund for the starving poor
of West Ham. 1t was the largest party
of emigrants that has sailed so fat, num-
bering as it did DO fewer than forty-nine
familieS-230 in Gi. e may he noted
that of the 220 families emigrating from
West Ham, twenty-five have already
landed in the Dominion, and thus early
encouraging reports have come to hand
Of the success of the project in the direc-
ton of securing employment for those
who have been able to take advantage
of it.
Practically, upon landing, the bread
winners Of SIX out of the thirteen faml-
lies which left this country on January
~ were placed in situations, while for
the remainder temporary work was
found, pending the provision Of perma-
nent berths. Apart from other reasons
the confidence felt by them as to their
future in the new country enabled the
emigrants whose departure took place
last night to set out on their long jour
ney with light hearts and cheerful faces.
AS a matter Of fact, thanks to the sys-
tenn adopted, the families going out in
the present instance under the care OF
the Self-Help Emigration society-by
whose agents in Canada they will be
looked after on their arrival there-are
assured Of work as soon as their voyage
is ended. There is conclusive evidence
to show that in the country districts On
tario now wants labor badly, owing
largely to the fact that the younger peo-
pie have been tempted in great numbers
to the far west, where better wages OBJ
tain-and, proportionately, it should not
be forgotten, higher cost Of living also.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility Or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
q woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
! If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
b. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. L. G. Glover, President of
Milwaukee Business Woman's Associa-
ton, of GA Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis, writes:

The frame work is arranged so that the
central doors alone may be used, or if
desired the side sections, which take the
place of the usual display OF windows,
may be elevated SO as to afford addi-
tional entrances. These are hinged to
the lower edge Of the framework, and
are provided with powerful springs and
counterba lance weights on cables to IA
cilitate opening and to maintain them in
such position when SO desired. In order
to afford more light and air the glass
sections above the door proper are also
banged and arranged to fold inWardly,
so that if desired the whole store front
can be opened, leaving only a skeleton
framework to support the windows and
doors, which fold inwardly out Of reach

If any woman thinks she is sterile.
or has doubts about her ability to carry
