Truths Told in
Trick Photographs.

The Veracity Of the camera nova
days is pretty generally doubted The
time when a photograph was accepted
on its face value and 1t was believed
that the camera could not lie is past.
Almost any exaggeration of the truth
is possible to the Photographic lens.
What is lost to veracity is more than
gained in general usefulness. In the
accompanying pictures, for instance,
there is obviously some exaggeration,
yet the photographs-and they are
actual Photographer are none the less
convincing. The perspective is per-
feet, the general grouping is natural
enough, they are evidently all of a
piece. An entirely new and convinc-
ing pictorial effect is thus obtained,
yet no one is deceived.
A striking case in point is the photo
graph of the annual rations of an ex-
cessive cigarette smoker, which is
here reproduced. The picture of a
boy climbing with some effort into a
box of giant cigarettes tells the story
at glance. The boys attitude, the
perspective of the picture and the nat.

HE BLAMED THE FROG.

Secretary Wilson Tells a Story About
Weather Prophet.
James Wilson, the secretary of ag-
riculture, was discussing rather anti
quated kind of farming.
ut is about as profitable and log
zeal" he Said, as the weather reading
OF a Connecticut farm hand | used to
know. This farm hand claimed that
he could read the weather infallibly.
On a walk with me one afternoon a
frog croaked and he said:
!. We Will have clear weather for
twenty-four hours. When frog
croaks in the afternoon you may be
sure of twenty-four hours of sunshine
We walked on, and in twenty minutes
or so heavy shower came UP, and we
were both drenched to the skin.
You are a fine weather prophet,
said (, as we hurried homeward
through the downpour You ought to
be ashamed of yourself
'Oh, WE'LL said the farm hand, the
frog lied It's to blame. not me. Am
responsible for the morals of that

ette, while one hand clutches for sup
port. 1t is obvious that the boy is hay
ing some trouble in his climb, and still
he is succeeding. Despite this obvi-
GUS exaggeration the proportions of
the picture are fundamentally cor
rect Given the daily ration of

size shown in the picture-and the al
lowance is not excessive-he will con-

such boxes OF cigarettes. The cubic
contents of one box is a trif1e less
than five inches. The cubic contents
of all the boxes thus emptied in
year would exceed 10000 cubic inches,
Ind a box Of this size would obviously
bear about the same proportion to the
boy smoker as the one in the accom-
panying picture.
The number of pencils used up by
busy man is another subject for the
comparative photograph which lends
itself to striking illustration Taking
into account the number of pencils
lost, strayed and stolen, in addition to
those which are laboriously whitfield,
an average of from one to five pencils

ings be preserved and formed into a
single shaft it would require the en-
tire strength of man to balance such

attempt to write with such pencil
has been photographed herewith.
The cigars consumed by even an
average smoker reach surprising pro-
portions every year. An allowance OF
five cigars day is by no means too
great, it is far below the average of
very large class of smokers, but even
on this basis the illustration is suf-
fciently striking. With this rate of
supply a man will have smoked in the

other way to put the case, which will
bring up a more definite mental pic.

Finally the Lawrence got within
