Animals Photograph themselves.


The Technical World has an article
that deals with an odd subject, well
calculated to be of interest to readers
generally. -:
Photographic views Of animals are
obviously quite invaluable to the zool-
oglst, who cannot possibly study every
species in nature" says the author. "In
the case Of wild animals, where tmme-
date observation is especially difficult
for obvious reasons, the role of photog-
raphy becomes particularly important
and it certainly is of interest that O.
G. Schillings, the well known African
explorer, should have succeeded in pho
tographing wild animals In their free
state, thus penetrating into the deepest
secrets of the forests of the dark con-.
tinent
Especial devices of ingenious con-
struction had to. be made, by means Of
which shy animals. could be compelled,
under certain conditions, to photograph
themselves by night, quite unconscious
", with the aid OF flash lights. This
ingenious idea Of automatfcaI photogra-
ply is due to Mr.. SchiHings himself,
who developed the process to a high
degree of perfection in the course. OF.
several years of arduOus work In the
African forests. It may be mentioned
that In view of SchilIings' successful
result; the same devices have now. been
made accessible to the public"

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
An Enjoyable and Profitable Conven-
tion With Bush River
School.

The Interdenuminatiunal 5. :. con-
vr:ltirn Of NewDerry county met at
Br>il River Baptist church on last
Thursday and Friday. The attend
auce was not so large As has been
but those present were enthusiastic
in the wcrk and were greatly bene-
fitted by the work Of the convention.
Only five Of those appointed to
orei. lie discussions we're present.
But others we're asked to discuss the
topics. Two of the most instructive
subjects were the Cradle Roll and the
Home Department. Mr.. JAS. F. Ept-
ing told of what had been done in
the school of which he is superin-
tendent for the Home Department
which is typical of what may be done
in any school.
While. the subjects discussed were
all good and helpful still far and
away the most instructive and enter
tanning were the addresses on normal
timing were the addiesses o.. normal
+. =. Whilden. t,::::nerly state secre-
ta;.y Of the InterGe .,ominai'onai S. s.
work. His last lecture on Friday
afternoon on "The Seven Lamps Of
Instruction. was a rare treat and
should have been heard by every s.
S. teacher in the county. In another
lecture on how to teach the lesson he
illustrated the teaching Of several les
SONS. The conv-,ii'' n was fortunate
in having him present. Any 5. 5.
worker who is in earnest in his or her
work would have been greatly benefit
ed by hearing him.
It was very much regretted that so
few of the pastors Of the county
found it impracticalble to be present
and help in the instruction Of the
workers. On the last day only one
preacher the pastor Of Bush River
was on hand and on the day previous
there were only two. This fact was
remarked on the floor Of the conven-
ton. The Rev. Mr.. Cason said in be-
half of the ministerial brethren that
many of them are engaged n special
meetings and others may be away for
the summer. An effort will be made
to hold the next meeting at such a
time that as many pastors as posi-
| BILE NAV find it convenient to attend
arl they will be most urgently iGvit-
ed to- be present and lend their assist
ance and support.
The former officers we're reelected
DIR. E. C. Jones, President and Mr..
P. C. Gilliard Secretary. Messrs. }.
C. Goggans, P. C. Gilliard and Mrs.
j. H. West were elected delegates to
the state convention which meets at
Union next spring. The invitation OF
the superintendent Of Lebanon s. s.
was accepted as the next place OF
meeting.

their homes and at The meetings.

were loath to leave. Doubtless when
this church see fit to invite the con-
vention again they Will all vote aye
