LUCK IN PHOTOGRAPHY. , A Suggestion That Grated Upon the £ Camera Man's Nerves. ■ When the amateur photographer’s I friend asked him why he looked peeved the other was glad to explain. “A friend of ours just asked me to come over and take a picture of her baby." he said. “She apologized for asking, which was unnecessary, be cause I was glad to do it. but she spilled the beans by giving as her reason that 1 had such good luck tak ing pictures." •‘Well, you do. don't you?" inquired the friend. “There you go." the photographer exclaimed. “There is no such thing as luck in my photography. What vexes -me is that every one seems to consider them inseparable. “Photography is as exact a science as running a survey nowadays with those who know how to handle a cam era. With the photometer and exposure tables, proper developer and a ther mometer for determining its tempera ture. every last element of luck is re moved from exposure and negative making. The same is true of the print ing processes. You know in advance how much light you have and how much you need. Factorial tables tell you how long to leave a plate in the developer. Every step is timed with a stop watch And that’s why it annoys me to have people say that my art is a luck proposition. “Before I had taken as many pic tures as stand to my record now there was sometimes luck, mostly bad. Al though, as it appears to me at present. .1 got better results than 1 should have obtained. But if a man with a little experience and the proper outfit exer cises as much intelligence as is neces sary to boil eggs, photography is no longer a matter of luck, and 1 thank nobody to call me lucky.”—Philadel phia Ledger. AREA OF THE LUNGS. Nature Has Given Us a Very Liberal . Margin of Safety. Physiologists have long observed chat many of the organs necessary to life have much larger capacity than is really necessary. It is generally agreed, for instance, that under ordinary con ditions one kidney would serve every purpose, although we are supplied with two As the same is true of other glands, the conclusion is irresistible that nature, in providing for the vari ous functions upon which our exist . ence depends, has left a very liberal margin of safety. This is especially true of the lungs. In cases of pneumonia the functions of one lung have been entirely sus pended for a time, but life has per sisted. as it has in those Instances where tuberculosis has very materially curtailed breathing capacity. Such cases have led to experiments in arti ficially lessening lung areas for a time la order to discover, if possible, what tljg margin of safety really is. ■ By introducing inert nitrogen gas into the chest of the subject an artifi cial pneumothorax is formed which may be varied at will, causing corre sponding variations in lung capacity. By this means Courmont finds that persons who submit themselves to his investigations get along very well with a quarter of the usual lung capacity. Similar experiments in a Paris hos pital show that patients deprived of five-sixths of their breathing capacity suffer very little inconvenience and ex hibit no symptoms of the lack of a proper amount of oxygen. The conclusion is that if one can live with one-sixth of his lung power he ought to do very well indeed with a single lung.—Boston Herald. Lights of Mars. It is claimed that curious lights have been seen on Mars and have been be lieved to be signal lights sent by the inhabitants of that distant world. This phenomenon can be easily explained as follows: The prevailing color of Mars is opal. When seen by daylight there is a mingling of this color with a pearl white, a rose saffron, and a robin’s egg blue. When the sun’s rays stream along its surface at certain angles flashes of curious light are pro duced that resemble somewhat the color rays of flashlight. These have, doubtless, been mistaken by the curi ous for flashlight signals. They are nothing new.— Chritsian Herald. Her Greatest Trial. A lady, whose husband was the champion snorer of the community in which they resided, confided to a female friend the following painful in telligence: “My life has not been one of un alloyed delight I have bad the measles, chickenpox, typhoid fever, rheumatism and influenza, but I never knew what real misfortune was until I married a burglar alarm.”—Pearson's Weekly.
