The amateur who goes out with his camera thinks of: The finder, the speed, and the focus. His task is easy, but scientists in the art cannot stop so readily. Dr. S. E. Sheppard, an expert on photography, in a paper read before the Chemical Institute at Penn State College, related how several million iindividual, invisible crystals of light sensitive silver halide independently undergo a chemical change whenever a shutter snaps. In official and private experiments it has been determined that the particles described by Dr. Sheppard vary in size from those as small as one of inch in diameter, and hence invis- an to ible even those which loom large under a microof scope at, say, one an inch. This means that a photograph is a mosaic of invisible crystals. It has been found that each particle of the original silver bromide layer behaves as a unit of light expains Dr. ultra-microscopicall- ly, two-thousan- dth Sheppard. The action of light makes these particles are able to be converted into metallic silver by reducing solutions. Thus negatives are obtained. Undoubtedly the amateur photographers often wonders about the processes that take place in the mystery boxes they carry. These amateurs will find interest in the statement offered by Dr. Sheppard in view of the fact that he spends his working hours among the kodaks. FORESTS HOLD WATER Soils in forested areas will absorb more water and will hold it longer than the soils in open areas unprotected by any kind of vegetation, says the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. In the formulation of any comprehensive and long-terplans for the control of floods, it is declared, it is important that this fact be considered and that the scientific data on the relation of forests to soil water be thoroughly reviewed. Notable among the studies which have demonstrated the absorptive and m slopes. Investigations of the seepage of soil water on these sites showed that this was most rapid on the open slopes following a rain, while the seepage was greater in quantity, steadier, and distributed throughout a longer period of time in the area covered with timber. By thus absorbing more water, by holding it longer and by allowing it to seep out more gradually, areas covered with forest exert a considerable influence in the regulation of stream-flotending to prevent high water and flooding following periods of heavy rainfall on the one hand, and drying up of streams during the dry seasons on the other. Since in even a limited area the removal of the forest cover from one of the slopes had such a marked effect, says the Forest Service, the influence of forests over large areas in maintaining' more uniform stream-flomust be regarded as an exceedingly important one.

Wm. G. Fumell, Portland Division conductor, who has been with the company 46 years, heads the list of pensioners, in point of service, who were recently retired. He went to work in July, 1881, as a brakeman running between Portland and Roseburg. The following year he was promoted to conductor and has spent all of his long service on the division. Lawrence M. Donolin, who for 45 years and 8 months had been a telegrapher, agent and dispatcher at various points on the Salt Lake Division, is retired while working as telegrapher at Sparks.
