Home Photography Popular.
Home photography is rapidly be-
coming a popular feature in the work
of the portrait photographer. A well
known photographer predicts that
within a few years the fashionable
Photographic studio will have become
a thing of the past In place Of it.
there will be workshops located on
side streets from which orders will
be taken for photographs to be made
at the homes of the patrons. The
skilled operators will be sent in au.
tomobiIes carrying a full equipment OF
aDparatus and the pictures will be
Dosed in the home of the sitter Of
ten they will have an added valee be-
cause of the introduction of some IA
miliar piece of furniture or for haT-
ing a favorite corner as a background.
This is especially desirable for wo-
men who desire to be photographed
in a number of different gowns 1t
also is the best arrangement for Sc
curing natural photographs Of child
rem since they are always more at
their ease among familiar surround
ings. Special outfits are now being
furnished for home photography which
insludes a series of screens and re-
Electors as well as the latest achieve
ments in flashlight and other addi-
tional light supplies.
Press photography is a branch Of
the art calling into play all OF the
newest developments for speed and &C
curacy. One of the record feats OF
press photographer last year was in
connection with the Long Run wreck
which took place in Kentucky one
evening in January Two passenger
trains were crushed into each other
and the Wreckage piled high. The
photographer was called from a party
in his own home about nine o'clock
and by 10 o'clock a special electric
car had conveyed him to the scene
1t was bitter cold and he had the
greatest difficulty in setting up his
instruments in view of the strong
winds He managed to secure an Sx10
negative however and by half past Y
that night he reached his shop and
proceeded to develop it with such sue
cess that his paper the next morning
was able to print a clear, page

Aerial photography is perhaps the
latest thing; 1t consists in birds eye

crease of the use Of the flying craft
these will no doubt become numer-
Gus within the next few years. An
other means Of obtaining a birds eye
view is by means OF the tower cam

4 ERSEY CITY is a large region lying
west of New York city according to
- the geographers. 1t is separated
from New York by the Hudson river and
about 1000 through trains, and is
rumored to be peopled by vast numbers
of inhabitants who have attained high
degree of civilization, using street cars,
monographs and safety razors with
great fluency.
Little is actually known of Jersey City
beyond these unauthenticated facts.
Natives of the place who escape TO New
York are very reticent about abiding to
it and usually register from San Fran
cisco OF some other well known place.
Explorers from New York have occa-
sionaIly penetrated into Jersey City as
far as the police court, but have brought
back little except tales of great hard
ships. In 1906 a New York man got of
a Pennsylvania railroad night train in
jersey City by mistake and swan the
river because there was no ferry at that
hour. He escaped safely, but his hair
turned white during the trip, and the
Pennsylvania railroad afterward altered
its route and tunneled through to the
country beyond in order to insure pro-
lection for its passengers.
Jersey City, according to the census
officials, contains almost 100000 people,
all of whom have first names and or
binary features. North of Jersey City
lies Hoboken, which is inhabited by a
peculiarly fierce breed of hackmen who
infest the steamship piers and prey upon
