PHOTOGRAPHING MARS.
Interesting 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, and each OF the many little images
shown on the plates was taken separate
ly. The telescope was adjusted so that
the planet was in the center Of the CAM
era field; then the platehOlder carrying
the sensitive plate was placed in the
carrier OF the planetary camera and set
in position for the first image, the slide
then being drawn from the plateholder.
A bulb in the right hand opened the
shutter Of the camera, allowing the
light from the planet to fall on the
sensitive plate, with an exposure of
about two seconds. Then a bulb in the
left hand shifted the plate a quarter Of
an inch for the succeeding image, and
so on through the entire series Of i'm
ages taken on one plate Sometimes the
plate was arranged to shift from right
to left and sometimes in vertical di-
rection.
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. About half an hour was con-
sumed 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
l taken. The plates here reproduced rep
resent the work that was done under
| the most favorable conditions of atmos-
phere. The one OF July Is. taken during
| the nearest approach of the planet to
| the earth, was at distance of 80, SOC, 900
miles When Mars was at or near the
| zenith it was necessary for me to lie
on my back while taking the photo
| graphs.
AS the best seeing occurs in flash
es," 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 remarkable
clearness, Though the more delicate de-
tails are lost in reproduction. OF the
10. 900 separate images of the planet
none is destitute of canals, and in some
cases as many as rs to 80 canals have
been counted in single image. Several
| of the previously observed double canals
show their quality on the plates taken
during the intervals of best atmos-
pheric conditions.
This has been only the second Oppose
| ton of Mars during which the canals
have been successfully photographed
| The first and only previous success1u

were obtained at the Lowell observa-
tory. Flagstaff, Ariz-. during the oppo.

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.


 People go to the theater to be en- tertained. Gloomy plays except in rare instances, are not favorably re- ceived. Audiences, especially women like to have their feelings wrought upon to certain extent; they even enjoy an opportunity to shed a few tears. But they also like to have the tears followed by laughter, they want the sun to come out between the clouds. Since East Lynne, there has probably not been a play. pro- duced which draws women to wit ness it in such crowds as does Lottie Blair Parker's drama of love among the blossoms Under Southern Skies There is something about the beau tiful stage settings, youthful. sum- mery dresses. crowds of gay young folks, Halloween tricks; Jack-o- lantern dance and touching love scenes that enchant the young.

day. April 80. Bruch is one of the
best known composers for the violin

clans will remember that IL was his
famous concerto which was the chief
selection of Miss Maud Powell at the
sic hall last year. This romance il

embodies much beauty Of tone while
giving the player ample opportunity
to display technique. A gayotte by
Mozart is another one Of the pleas
ing features which this young artist
will perform, A well known local

ed that in her choice she was giving a
remarkable treat not only to violin
