moon casting a long line of brilliant light
upon water-special preparations must be
made. A rather cloudy sunset must be
chosen. Then, when the sun drops low
on the horizon, and Is partially obscured
by the cloud bank, one seizes the oppor-
tunity to secure a snapshot Cthe lens be-
ing well stopped down'9 right into the
eye of the light. The plate thus obtained
should be slightly under-developed. If all
has gone well, the resulting negative Will
supply a picture exactly resembling u
moonlight effect; and by carefully gum
ming small circle of opaque paper upon
the film. one is able to print out the
moon in the bargain. Such negatives
are most effective when transferred to
green albuminized paper; and the print
ing should be decidedly deeper than IN
the case of am ordinary negative.
Photographs In which the snow appears
to be falling are usually produced by
a portrait. the sitter should be garbed
appropriately and placed before a wintry
background. When the negative is OBJ
tanned, it should be dried and well var
nished, then place it fiat upon a table
with the tflm side uppermost. Take
soft tooth brush charged with rather
thick Indian ink and earmine mixed up
with water, and draw 1t over the teeth
Of a comb, which should be held some
little distance from the negative. If this
operation is carefully managed the result
will he an irregular spattering of the
pigment upon the vanished film; and
when this is dry a print will be produced
which looks just as though the negative
had been taken in snowstorm.
Photographs of the class in which
ghosts or visions appear my be faxed
in several ways. The first of these may
be described in the duplicate exposure
method. suppose, for example, we wish
to photograph a man inside bottle
which will hold no more than a pint OF
LIQUID To accomplish this APPARENTLY inn
possible feat proceed as follows: First,
photograph the bottle standing upon a
duh black support and with similar back
ground. While focusing take care to
mark out what will be the bottles boun-
daries on the plate by fixing little pieces
of gummed paper to the ground glass
screen of the camera. Then get your
