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 it an simplifying
lens, says e. G. Slipher 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 a 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 a vertical direction.
Inasmuch as the photographs were
made at night, virtually no light except
that from Mars reached the plate, and
the latter was not incapacitated 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 ter
plates were exposed In one nights

For the first time In twenty years
the Republican convention will see a
real battle. The gathering that noml-
mated Benjamin Harrison in 1888 was
an open fight much similar to the one
that promises for this year. In 1892 the
denomination OF Harrison was a fore
gone conclusion; In 1896 the movement
against free silver had fixed on McKin-
ley in advance OF the convention as the
man to lead the fight; and in 1900 not
a shadow Of opposition developed
against his denomination. Similarly
Roosevelt outranked In popularity every
name suggested for the Republican NOM
nation. But this year the quadrennial
upheaval will be made still NOR chaotic
