Pepper Could Not, or Would Not, Bead a Certain Letter, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: For the benefit of some of the know-lt-alls, such as Davis, Goldberger and all others who say they can duplicate Mr. May 8. Pepper's work by fraudulent means, I wish to say tn th. as well as others, that they are greatly Io error. For instance.

Mr. Davis saya: "That behind th Hower that generously adorn her pulpit she open or saturates with alcohol the letter aba This. If you were ever at her church, you will know Is impossible, as the flowers and whatever else rosy be on tbe pulpit are removed before the seance beglna. Also, there are times when Mrs. Pepper does not use any letter, yet she gives a message to some one In the audience.

Mr. Davis also state that Mrs. Pepper, on a certain evening, when Dr. Funk waa picking out the letters for her to read, said to htm, as he wss about to hand her one: "Not that one; the other one." Why waa this, you ask? Because the Influence that came with that letter, either spiritual or material, waa so opposing to her that she could not come In contact with that spirit. That does not ssy the letter cannot be answered.

Borne other medium, with a different attraction, can nnawer It. For la-stance, let us look hack In history and recsll an event In the life of the greatest spiritualistic medium this world bss ever known, the Nsisrlno. While blindfolded they smote him In the fsce. and said: "Prophesy who It wss Ihst smote thee." (St. Luke Hut he could not.

Why? Because the Influence ihst wss around Him was such that He could not communicate with the other r-altn; I. He could not overcome the opposing Influence that surrounded Him. Whai we nerd ia men and women who will work not only for their own gain, but also for the uplifting of mankind, to a clesrer untlerstsndlng thst will bring us nesrer toward the goal, hnre all life comes and goes. It wss with greil plessure ihst read the remsrka of the Rev. Dr.

Bsrtholow. of tbe Janes Methodist Eplsrnpal Church, who ays. Spiritualism la a fact or tbe Bible la In error. Thle only goes to show that th time Is nesrlr hern whea those who hav eves shall see, and those oho have ear shall hear. Then we alll reallie the words Ihst were spoken bv the snge nearly I O1! yearn aso: "Peace on earih good will toward JOHN Brooklyn.

J6 er Success nith the regular hind camera; that is. the camera that is focused by means of a scale, depends very largely upon knowing lust how to focus, and In this respect much greater skill is required now than formerly owing to the general use of fast high grade lenses which possess very little depth of focus when used at full aperture. It is well known that the depth of focu3 in a lens depends upon the size of the lens and upon the aperture at which it is used. The depth of focus increases as the size of the lens decreases and as the aperture decreases. In speaking of lenses of different sizes lenses of different focal lengths are meant.

To Btate the reverse, the depth of focus decreases as the size or focal length of the tens increases or as the size of the aperture Increases. It is thus evident that in the same lens the depth of focus increases as the speed decreases and vice versa. Thus fast lenses possess very little depth of focus when used at full opening, but at the same speed small lenses have more depth of focus than large lenses, because the point beyond which all objectB are in focus is nearer the lens. This Is called the point of parallel rays. To use a scale successfully for focusing one should know Just how much depth of focus measured In feet and inches his lens possesses and at what distance the lens should be focused to obtain the most objects in focus.

Of course, all this can and has been learned by simple practice, but as the whole aubject is one of pure mathematics a thorough knowledge of fundamentals should be of valuable assistance and should enable one to acquire more thoroughly and more quickly the knack of focusing correctly by means of the scale. In this connection Photography baa worked out the following tables: Distances of objects from the camera are given in feet and the nearest and farthest point at which objects are in reasonably sharp focus are given. The Bret three table are for a lens of 4H-inch focus: Nearest. farthest. ft.

This table is for a 44-inch focus lens working at an aperture of If the lens la stopped down to (8 the depth of focus ia Increased according to the following table: Nearest. Farthest. Distance of obiect. ft. In.

Io thia ease the greatest depth of focus is obtained by focusing for 21 feet, when all objects beyond 10 feet 7 Inches are In focus. Using the same lena at a atop of fll.3 the depth ia further Increased as follows: Nearest.

Taking the lens of 44-Inch focus it is observed that with the object feet away, for example, and the lens at an aperture of fs.t a depth of focus of feet 11 Inches Is obtained, while at ft this depth Is Increased to 9 feet Inches; at fll.3 it is lncreaaed to 1 feet 11 inches and at it is increased 68 feet 2 inches.

Of course, the speed of the lens is correspondingly decreased. It will also be observed that at te.t all objects beyond 24 feet may be brought in focus: at ft objects beyond It feet: at fli object beyond 11 feet and at fit objects beyond feet.

These tables apply to high grade lenses which have a perfectly flat field and would not be entirely accurate for the regular rapid rectilinear lens, which has a curved field.

However, the variation in the center of the plate or on the axis of the lens would scarcely be perceptible, but at the comers of the plate, where the marginal rays strike the variation would be decided. By a careful study of these tables and the ability to estimate distances, with a fair degree of accuracy the amateur should have very little trouble in obtaining sharp pictures with a band camera which is focused by a scale, even though a very rapid lens is used. Red toned prints, which closely resemble the red chslk carbon prints, may be obtained by the use of most printing out papers. wash tbe prints thoroughly to remove all the valuable silver, then tone for four or five minutes in a solution of: Hot water 10 ounces Common salt W) grains Powdered alum 1K grains When the solution is cold, sdd 2 grains of potassium chloroplatinite.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In doing my home work to-night I came to the following, to which I respectfully Invite the attention of Mr. Woodbury of the Street Cleaning Department: In the summer of 166a there was a terrible outbreak of the plague In London, the result of the filthy condition of the streets at that lime.

The court removed to Oxford, and every one who could left town, but the sufferings of the thousands who could not get away were frightful. Each infected bouse was shut up, and marked with a red cross on the door and the words, "Lord have mercy on us." Now the milder weather has done much to remove the winter accumulation of dirt here, but why not remove the filth of six months that remains? The spotted fever has got the start on Mr. Woodbury and tt he does not wake up pretty soon there will be trouble in this old town this summer. SCHOOL GIRL. Brooklyn, March 22, 1D05.
