The tramp paused doubtfully.

welfare, relgns throughout the COSMOS"
The tramp stared, round-eyed open

PHOTOGRAPHING MARS.
Some Details of the Making of the
Andes Photographs.

The Andes photographs of Mars were
made with large planetary camera
which carries with 1t an simplifying
lens, says L. C. Sipher In the Century.
The camera was fastened to the lower
end Of the large telescope of eighteen
inch lens and each of the many little
images shown on the plates was taken
separately. The telescope was adj
justed so that the planet was in the
center Of the camera field then the plate
holder was placed in the carrier of the
planetary camera and set in position for
the first image. The slide then being drawn
from the plate holder. a bulb In the
right hand opened the shutter Of the
camera, allowing the light from the
planet to fall on the sensitive plate,
Then q bulb in the left hand shifted
the plate quarter Of an inch for the
succeeding image and so on through
the entire series Of images taken on one
plate. Sometimes the plate was ar
ranged to shift from right to left anc
sometimes in vertical direction.
Inasmuch as the photographs We're
made at night, virtually no light except
that from Mars reached the plate, and
the latter was not incapacltated by one
exposure from receiving other sensitive
Impressions About half an hour was
consumed In taking the sixty images
on some of the plates and eight or ten
plates were exposed In one nights
work. In all about 10000 negative
images were taken.
As the best seeing" occurs in
flashes" the successive images on the
same negative may differ somewhat in
wealth Of finer detail; to the skilled
eye all show the larger canals with re
uarkable Clearness, though the more
delicate details are lost In reproduc-
ton. OF the 10000 separate images
Of the planet none is destitute Of canals
and In some cases as many as twenty
five or thirty canals have been counted

the break been due to the weight Of the
