PINHOLE PICTURES. An Effective Way of Taking a Photo? graph of the Sun. The uso of fl on niora with pinhole Instead ol a ions for taking photo? graph! of tho sun is advocated hy C. Ainsworth Mitchell hi un article con? tributed to Knowledge and Scientific Nows. Mr.

Mitchell reminds us thnt tho possibility of producing an Image Wita pinhole was known at loast ns early ns LOIS, before tho similar hut moro striking properties of the lens had been discovered. He goes on to say: "As there were thou no moans of fix? ing this image when projected on to paper, tho discovery was looked upon ns little moro than a soiontitio toy, nnd when the day of tho sensitive pinto ar? rived the glass lons gaye Imagen so much Sharper than nny pinhole could do that no ono thought lt worth while to revert to a primitive method. "Tho aim of the photographer of those days was to get a picture full of minute detail, ono showing every hair on the heat; of a sitter and every loaf on a troo, it is only within the last few years that the greater beauty of broad effects in photography has come to be partially recognized. With this reaction the pictorial possibilities of a pinhole in place ol' a lens have sug? gested themselves to several workers, and such excellent results have been obtained that it is strange that so sim? ple method should not be more gen? erally used. "In particular lt seems to have oc? curred to no one to make use of a pin? hole In photographing the sun, notwith? standing the fact that a minute hole In a card has long Peen used as an ex? cellent substitute for smoked glass as a screen for the eye when looking at the sun.

It is equally effective as a means of protecting a sensitive plate from the excessive action of direct so? lar rays, and there is probably no bet? ter way of taking a photograph of the sun breaking through hanks of clouds. So much light is cot off by the narrow aperture that there ls little risk of spoiling the plate, and the writer has even succeeded in making two ex? posures and getting duplicate imagos of the sun on different parts of the negative without the slightest trace of Digest. The Holy Land Today. Pass through the narrow streets where the lepers crowd around with horrible cries and beggars seem hardly human In their tilth and rags and de? formities.

Humor of London's Bishop. The bishop of London's humor, now tender and kind, now sardonic and cruel, made him mauy friends In America. "The bishop amused me," said a clergyman, "at a dinner of divines iu New York.

"A Boston divine at this dinner got to tching us about a begging sermon he had recently preached. don't want to brag or he began, 'nor would I have you think me conceited; but, gentlemen, I assure you'?
