How to Photograph Lightning.

1t may not be known by every reader
that in the case of thunderstorm at
night it is very easy matter to secure
photographs of the lightning. The
camera is focused by scale, if it has
a scale, to infinity; if it has no scale,
the infinity point should be found be-
forehand by focusing some distant OBJ
ject. The camera is turned towards
that quarter of the sky to which there
is most likelihood of q flash, and the
lens uncapped. After fash or two,
the lens may be capped and the plate
changed. In developing the results, it
is often impossible to see the flashes
on the plate by the dim red light of the
dark room; so that each plate should
be developed for the customary time.
fixed and then examined i'm daylight.

Why Children Love Singing.

Children love to sing. 1t is a natural
instinct with them. They would rather
sing than study the boundaries of
Turkestan. and there is no doubt they
would derive more benefit from so do
ing. The public schools, unfortunately.
have little or no time to develop this
art with the other studies crammed
into an already too heavy curriculum.
Any time that Is allotted to this sub
ject is given over to the teaching Of
the simpler fundamentals of music.
The boy who enjoys telling the num-
Der Of sharps and flats there are in
key is an exception. But the child who
wants to sing a song with words is the
rule. The problem is to find some
means whereby this wholesome desire
can be fostered. And the answer to
the problem is community choruses for
children.

agreed to surrender if the slightest op-

capture, declaring that the Prussians
virtually deserted their posts.
