STUDY HOLDING or CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument
Depends Largely on Its Being in
Proper Position.

Successful hand-camera work de-
Ponds largely on the power to give
Slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held in the hand, and in this con-
nection sufficient attention is rarely
given to the matter of grip" 1t is
not enough to hold the camera firmly
against the chest or stomach. The
best position must be found by trial,
and this will vary with different in
dividuals and different makes of
camera. In general it will be found
that the most comfortable position is
the steadiest. At waist level the
hands will be usually placed SYM
metrically on either side of the instru-
ment, the right, near the release, for-
ward, and the other little behind.
When the camera is held at eye level,
one hand is usually held rather under
the instrument as a support, and the
other grips the back or side, or with
folding type Of camera both hands
may grip the back. With the very
small types, one hand often almost in
closes the instrument and releases the
shutter, whilst the other is used as q
support. At eye level it is often a
great assistance to steady aim to
press the back of the camera against
the cheek. Just as the feel of IA
vorite gun gives confidence, so the
use CT the camera should be familiar,
and regular and systematic practice
with the unloaded camera will be
great help in, this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex-
amined. At first fairly short exposures
only should be given, to gain conf
dence, gradually employing slower
speeds as the hand is trained and
nerve is acquired.

Indian Names.

The Indians up In the far North
country call the beaver ah-nick, says
Dan Beard in Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine. BY the way, when
boy scouts lay out their councn
grounds at camp and divide it up as it
should be, according to the north,
south, east and west winds around
the circle, they should remember that
the Indian name for north is Quiewed-
nong, for south is Show-nein-nong, for
east is Waba-rOng, and for west is
Gabie-a-nong.
Now, you know the Indian ceremony
always begins with blowing the smoke
of the pipe to the four winds, and
then to the sky, which is O'quie, and
then to the earth, which is Akee, and
the warrior lights his pipe with Skoo-
day, that is, with fire, but if he is tow
neeke with the Skoo-day he starts a
forest fire (tow-neeke means care
less).
To be a good scout, one must never
be tow-neeke; TO be patriotic one must
never be tow-neelie.

WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Professor Has
Made Public the Results of In
vestigations He Has Made.

In numerous descriptions of the eS-
periences of man in the course of
more or less prolonged fasting, one
meets the repeated assertion that aft
er brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever is felt. Since it has
been well-established that the sensa-
ton Of hunger is induced by certain
type Of tonic and peristaltic contEic-
tiOns of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, it must be assumed either
that these contractions are abolished
as fast proceeds or that the sensa-
tons are decidedly modified.
A professor of the University Of
Chicago has lately had an exceptional
opportunity to investigate these ques-
tions. AS the result of careful OBJ
servations on man during prolonged
intentional starvation, he found that
during the Is days complete fast and
the subsequent eight days of absti-
hence from food with daily ingestiOn
of cotton fiber, the gastric hunger con-
fractions of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
intensity; but the subjective sensa-
tions induced by the gastric contrac-
tiOns appeared TO be somewhat weak
ened and tinged with an element OF
general epigastric distress or sick
stomach. -d~

Dog Recognizes Portrait.

In his "reminiscences "Spy" sketches
my credulity. He had painted full
length portrait of his host at country
house. When it was just finished he
came down early one morning to in
spect it--and found his hosts dog sit
ting up begging before the portrait Of
his master.
1t was Apelles, the ancient painter,
/ think, who depicted grapes so realis-
tically that the very birds pecked at
them. But in long association with
dogs / have never found one who could
recognize figure or landscape in a
picture.
The nearest approach to such intel
ligence Is when have set looking
glass on the floor and confronted dog
with his Own likeness. He .growls sus-
piciously, uncomfortably, until he
walks behind to find the other dog

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchnen, Rivals in Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle in the air and the
strangest duel in. the long history of
the field of honor was fought 40
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
We're ardent rivals for the affections
of woman, and so bitter did their
quarrel become that only blood could
wipe it out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these fiery spirits, so it
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The cause Of
the trouble agreed to marry the VIC
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find a
great crowd assembled, for word Of
the strange encounter had spread
broadcast. The principals, however,
were undeterred. Two balloons, pre-
cisely alike, had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed a carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as
cended almost side by side. At the
height of about half mile, when the
great bags were but so yards apart.
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one Of the balloons
collapsed and crashed to the earth.
The record says the woman kept her
promise and married the victor of the
aerial battle.

Common Heather Dying Out.

In the case oftsuch a plant as the
common heather of England and Scot
land, found growing wild in Nova
Scotia, it is matter of curious inter-
est to determine whether 1t Is native
to the soil orshas been introduced from
Europe. Lawson decided that the plant
had its home here. There was a tiFae,
it is thought, when the plant wa9 asua-
dant In our northern lands, and ils

ocean. Its vigorous growth in Europe
is due to the circumstance that there

Easy Way to Measure Distances.

Boy scouts who are interested In
emulating deeds of their older friends
are practiclng many engineering
stunts. One of the most interesting Is
to measure distances without instru-
ments and where the travel from point
to point is impracdcable. The method
followed is one employed by Napoleon
when his engineers sought to learn the
distance across an unfordabh river.
The little corporal took N position
on the bank at the water edge, gazed
across the stream until the opposite
shore line was just diseernible below
the visor of his cap, then turned on his
heel and spotted point ut the same
level up stream. After this he paced
off the distance and had 1t approx
mately correct.

Barristers' Wigs.

Barristers' wigs first came into
vogue about 200 years ago. Up to the
end of the seventeenth century judges
and sergeants at law alone had any
distictive dress.
Under Queen Anne the queens coun-
selor adopted the court dress and SILK
gown which made up the mourning OK
the period, together with the fuli-pot-
toned wig then usually worn by all
persons of position.
Thereupon the outer bar started
wearing modest short wig, with
strings Of horsehair tied up at the end,
in imitation of the fashion OF tying the
back hair up into pigtail.
Some judges, we are told by legal
historian, found these wigs cox
combical," and would not allow barris-
tiers wearing them to plead in court

HAVE ORGY Or cANNlBALISM
Ghsstly Ooings of the Burying Beetles
Regularly Take Place at Certain
Seasons of the Year.

Here is monstrous case of the
most CHASTITY depravity mingled with
sublime sacrifice.
The Burying Beetle buries small
birds, mammals and reptiles, not as
stored food for itself, but for the
sustenance of it's offspring In the
confines of cage these undertakers
will bury carcass after carcass, eating
scarcely anything, depositing their
eggs with the game. They display
most edifying industry and order I'M
til the proper season is over. Then
they strike work and take themselves
underground.
And now q most frightful orgy be-
gins. Despite the abundance of food
both above ground and stored with
the eggs which they will not touch,
the undertakers begin mutually eat
ing each other. One energies to the
surface with a leg missing, and other
wise in a most battered condition. An
other appears little better off. He
has two legs left. This one throws
himself on the first, tears him to
pieces and eats him. Famine plays
no part in the slaughter. 1t is time
for them to die, perhaps, and not be-
ing able to die naturally, instinct
drives the undertaken to tear and eat
his fellow, needless that he, himself,
Is being torn to pieces and eaten by
another. And so the horror goes on,
one eating the limbs of another, and
that other eating still another, until
the tragedy is over, until next year.

Dangers for Game Fish.

The great cause of the decline In iisn
lie in a stream is the pollution or the
stream, and for this there is neither
naIliation nor excuse. "A writer IN All
Outdoors says it is true that brook
or river is convenient placeinto which
TO throw refuse. The people OF medl-
eyal cities thought the same OF their
streets until plague and pestuence
taught them better and instllled the
elements of hygiene into their minds.
Such ignorant negligence was a sign
OF their acknowledgements yet, with all
of our boasted civilization, we are but
a step in advance when we convert our
snarkling streams into noisome sewers.
