TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AT NIGHT
Handicaps Of Fog and Darkness Have
Been Overcome by Development
Of New Process.

Neither fog nor darkness handicaps
the supereyes Of the war department
signal corps cameras, according to
Edward Hungerford, who describes
the remarkable progress Of wartime
aerial photography in Everybody's.
He gives some interesting examples:
Il have seen photograph of a wan.
ing moon over Rome-taken by the
new process. It Is the first real pic
ture of the moon that have ever seen,
although l formerly attempted the
thing myself. Most of the moonlight
pictures that one sees are fakes
made by photographing the sun in
various unusual and artistic phases.
But this was real. One could see the
tiny pools Of water standing in the
uneven places Of the tagging, the
pickering street lamps at the corner. A
picture whose reality almost makes it
uncanny. And the photographer who
took the picture in the rain was ar
rested by gendarme as being mental
ly unsOund. He was only released
when he took picture of the heuten-
ant at the police station and proved
beyond question that he could MAJ
good portraits by artificial light.
II have seen photographs made by
this new process from the front row of
a theater balcony during the progress
Of the play; others made in church
during vespers and illumined enrir,
by the candles upon the high aEa
The process is very new and it is y-r
wonderful Moreover, it is suscepJ
of adaptation to night observe

This IL a name given to a famous
principle in pneumatics known as the
law Of the compression Of gases. 1t
was first discovered by Boyle In 1862.
and afterward, independently by Mari
cite In 1879. 1t Is as follows: The
temperature remaining the same, the
volume Of a given quantity Of gas is
lnversely as the pressure which II
bears. In other words, when a given
volume of any gas or vapor Is COM

Women a. Air Pilots

That it has been decided to have
women as air pilots was the surprising
statement made the other day at Shelf
field by George Roberts, minister Of la
Dor, at a meeting Of women enrolled
for national service. Mr.. Roberts add
ed that many women will soon be In
training. and that he was certain they
would make excellent pilots. The gov
eminent, Mr.. Roberts said, would see
that as far as possible women en-
ployed on war work at the front are
not employed In the danger zones, but
that naturally those engaged in rem
dering great services to Britain and
the allies must necessarily run some
Risks.

"Oh. no. I'm all right" she answered
In surprise. "Whyr'
you just don't seem to act right,
that's ALL"
I'm perfectly WELL" she repeated,
and pretended to go on with her read
ing.
But after another day Of acting like
a wet hen," as Mr.. Tilford unsentimen-
tally and unsympathetically put 1t to
himself, he decided that something was
wrong. Why else would she sit looking
straight through him at something just
beyond, sigh dejectedly every two-min-
utes by the clock, and convoy by every
motion the idea that all her friends
were dead and she was about to fol-

Mr.. Tlford scratched his head In
perple1ity as he resumed his paper.
Women were queer creatures. He had
been married fifteen years and every
year had added to the conviction. Not
that he didn't love Elsie-quite the
other way. Her very unreasonableness
seemed to endear her to him more
every year. That was one thing about

II has been proposed that concrete
ships be built In floating dry dock,
the principal advantage being that the
forms could be retained in the dock so
they could be used Immediately after
launching, for another ship. The
launching would be effected by with
drawing the outer forms slightly and
sinking the dry dock until the ship
doated on its own bottom. This would
avoid severe launching strains. and
would permit Of launching the boat

could afford to be generous.
"Well, think 1t over, my dear. II you
change your mind let me know and
we'll see what we can do"
Then Mr.. Tilford had an inspiration.
He thought Of the mirror.
"Of course. that's what It is" he
thought delightedly. "Elsie's been
cleaning house and doing over the hall
and she wants that Washington mirror
she's talked about all winter. I'll have
to look It up"
For two days Mr.. Tilford looked at
colonial mirrors. He went to every
store, art shop and antique bazaar in
town, until he had seen enough mir
rors to build the Crystal Palace. BY
that time he was 50 confused he didn't
know what he wanted. so he deter
mined to let price make the choice. II
Elsie wanted a mirror she should have
good one. and SO he decided on one
at Gormley's for two hundred dollars,
which they assured him was a genuine
antique.
On the night Of the fourteenth Mr..
Tilford. carrying a box of roses, arnv-
ed home in high spirits. The mirror by
this time had no doubt arrived and the
cloud which had lowered over Mrs.
Tilford for week would be gone. How
lucky he had thought Of getting 1t.
What then was his surprise on enter
ing to find Mrs. Tilford in the hall in a
towering rage, and before her on the
floor two Washington mirrors, idend-
cal from the eagle on top to the gold
festoon on the sides and bottom.
