him well-deserved censure and ridicule.
1t is not known that he has since made
further incursions into the field of
sacred art.
There have been numerous attempts
to picture by means of the camera that
eternally beautiful idea, the Madonna
and Child, yet in no instance has the
artist been able to invest his picture
with even a suggestion of spirituality
The depth and purity of religious feel
ing that distinguish the sacred pictures
of Murillo, Da Vinci and Raphael are
found in the work of no other artists
What hope, then, for the photographer,
with his meager. inadequate medium,
to express emotion of an eminently ex-
alter character! No sincerely religious
person can contemplate with sym
pathetic interest the efforts of those
workers who are trying to emulate
form of creative art which, for ade-
quate Interpretation, needs not only
means more flexible and resourceful
than Photographic equipment but
and pre-eminently-godl qualities of
heart and mind.

In fact, fog seems difficult to get in the

Strength of solution does not seem
to be a matter of great moment, but in
order to give the method a definite
basis the following is suggested as suit

First bath-Potassium permanganate, 8

Second bath-Sodium sulphite 20 grams

1T is necessary to mention that this
preliminary treatment reduces the
speed of the paper, so that test ex-
posture will be necessary. A fast bro
mide will require perhaps twice as
much exposure, a slower one probably
less than twice as much as the untreat-
ed paper. A trial slip soon determines
the best exposure. Amateur Photog-

SACRED SUBJECTS

A few years ago a series of photo
graphs representing the supreme TRACE
dy in the life of the Savior was dis
played in Boston, New York and else
where, and provoked considerable adj
verse criticism. They were not repro
auctions of paintings, illustrating the
work of some creative genius, but
photographs from life the model, in
this case, being the originator of the

the slightest justification for the
photographer to even imagine that he
could personally simulate the tradition

ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY
BY MRS. ii. C. SUTHERLAND

Anyone who is really interested in
this branch of photography knows how
absorbing it can become; still, not
much serious work is done in this line,
the snapshotters are many, and we are
overdone with photographs of house.
hold pets which are almost invariably
photographed with the proud owners.
How rarely such pictures give pleasing
or even passing results People say,
animals are so difficult to manage"
This is in a measure true, but great
deal lies in knowing how to manage
them.
Being much interested in cat and
kitten studies, l purpose saying few
words on the subject. Cats as a rule
do not object to sitting, but kittens are
harder to control, especially if you
want a number in the same picture.
Choose a calm day, light good, but not
bright sun; erect a plain background
Digit gray is best against wall out
of doors, cover a table with the same
stuff that you select for your back
ground, and place it about two feet in
front of the background (the back legs
of table should be an inch higher than
the front legs); your lighting should
be more from behind than the side, see
that your details are correct, have no
creases in background, erect your cam
center of the table. If you desire to
take a number of kittens together it is
an excellent plan to give them liberal
meal of meat, after which they will go
to sleep; when your preparations are
all made, and your light suppressed
sun if possible-get someone TO bring
out the kittens. See that your focus is
correct, and before they get properly
lively after their nap attract their at
tention. This should not be done by
the photographer, and may be man
aged in many ways. The person who is
attracting their attention should be be-
hind the camera, newspaper held up
and made to crackle is most success
full; don't hesitate to let your shutter
go if you think there is a fair chance
of getting something. Remember there
are times when one should risk wasting
plates. 1t is most difficult to get
successful result by giving longer than
the Ills of a second. A very short ex-
posture will never give sufficient detail
in the fur of the animal to make sue
cessful picture.
With respect to photographing wild
animals in captivity, there is no doubt
that they know those who like them,
and show no fear of them. The old
saying, zone man can steal horse
while another may not look over the
gate" applied here is very true.
Anyone blessed with perseverance,
patience and a love of animals can sue
coed in this branch of photography.

Immediately after adjournment
of Circuit Court a good roads mass
meeting assembled at the Court
House. The entire auditorium
was crowded to its utmost capacity
and III the audience were represent
i've citizens from every part of the
county, who all seemed enthusias-
tic aud deeply interested in the
question of good roods which is
now the paramount issue before
the people of Oktibbeha.
The meeting was presided over
by Mr.. r. K. Wier who outlined
the object and introduced to the
audience, Mr.. Keller, an expert
road builder and civil engineer,
who was sent here by the govern
ment to investigate the road stu
alton.
Mr.. Ke,ler's speech was plain
and practical, and the simple man
ner in which he described how good
roads should be built, was revela-
ton to our people. He made and
eloquent plea for good roads in the
south and showed what a great
advantage good roads would be to
all classes Of our population. Mr.
Keller is a southern man and was
born and reared at Tuscumbia,
Alabama, and he is thoroughly in
symathy with his work which has
been assigned him in the southern
States.
MIR. Keller was followed by Mr..
d. A. Saunders who has been a
potent factor in organizing the
good road crusade in this county.
Mr.. Saunders Spoke in favor of do
ing away with our presents system
Of working roads by overseers, ap-
pointed by the Board of Supervis-
ors, with hands warned" to work
the roads He believed that a
road tax should be collected from
every man in the county and all
property taxed for road purposes,
and the money used to build roads,
and that the roads be built under
directions of competant and SIGN
tific men. Other speeches were
made by Hon. John H. Wellborn,
Prof. J. G. Hardy, DR.. J. W.
Eckford and others
After the meeting large num-
Der Of citizens went out TO see the
work of the split log drag demon
strated and explained by Mr.. Kel-
Ter and those who. witnessed the
work of this simple but effective
device are very enthusiastic over
thesmanner IL which it works.
