Show Photographs Report Better Than Eyes. At a meeting of the Academie des Sciences, Paris, M. Zenger exhibited two photographs which he had taken at midnight from his window, looking on the lake of Geneva and Mont Blanc. The lake and the mountain are feebly imaged on the plates, although they were both quite invisible to the eye in the darkness. It is well known that many stars, invisible to the eye, are revealed re-vealed on the photographic plate, and some years ago an advertisement on the hull of the Great Eastern, at Birkenhead, Birken-head, which had been tarred over so as to be invisible, was quite legible in a photograph which had been taken of the vessel. London Globe, people by the high water mark of achievement in results and in individuals, individ-uals, and not always to be looking at the faults and failures. So I say again the American girl is charming, but I wish she would cultivate a little more heart. Mrs. Ormison Chant. |
