The new system of multiple photography, whereby a great number of imShow It pressions of the same person or object -are taken In a troment or so or time. exhibits life to Us in a very natural and realistic manner, says the New York Journal. Thl3 la one of the most interesting features of this wonderful photoInvention, for the graph represented human nature in toe mc3t unnatural manner possible It is notrlously difficult to look pleasant The when sitting for a photograph. subjects of instantaneous multiple do not have the same difficulties, for they are either ignorant of what is going on or they are not required to pose. A more pleasant example of a multiple photograph could hardly be found than shows us a father feeding A llttlechlldT while the mother seated on the other side of the child, looks smilingly on. It is a delightful little scene of domestic happiness. I; is a photograph that touches the heart. When such results as this can be produced by one of the wonders of modern science we must not accUs that science of being neglectful of the beauties of life. The father is evidently a man of the poor class, otherwise he would not be photographed In his shirtsleeves and in tbe act of feeding his child. But this conduct is what endears mm to us. The man who can take such evident pleasure in the simple but worthy ac' of feeding his little child must be truly happy and the sight of happiness is good to all rightly constituted persons. By means of this wonderful photograph you may follow this gentle action from its inception to its conclusion. You see not only the raising of the spoon with the food and the gradual turning of the mans head aa he brings the spoon near thexchild's mouth but also the tenderness which accompanies the action. The youngster looks up happily and smiling and the mother U equally so. The photograph Is a for the lover of human nature.
