LOOKING AT A PHOTOGRAPH.
Bottor Effccts Are Obtained When Only
One Eye Is Used.
Photographs should be looked at
^ it h only one eve to appear best, says
F. \V. Mar low in an article on "How
to Look at a Photograph" in the I'boto
Era.
"Most photographs particularly small
ones of landscapes, street scenes and
Interiors, fall to produce their full ef
fect or to lie estimated at their true
value because I hey are not looked at
in the most olVeetive way." the author
says. -Take as an example a print re
sulting from a camera with a live inch
focus lens. Such a print is usually
looked at with both eyes open aud
he'd at a distance of twelve inches or
more. Now a camera is essentially a
one eyed instrument, or. at any rate,
it views tiie object to be reproduced
from a single point, the optical center
of III?* lens. The object must be looked
at. therefore, with one eye only and
from a point corresponding as nearly
n» po s;Ue to the optical center of the
lens if its characteristics as it is to bo
reproduced in the camera are to be ap
preciated.
"I.et it be remembered that when a
print is looked at with both eyes open
binocular vision emphasizes the flat
ness of the cml. and this tends to off
set the illusion of greater or less dis
tance produced by the light and shade
and perspo :v.-of the print P>y using
one eye the impression of flatness Is
grentlv diminished. If at the same
time tiie eye be placed at the right
distal.-o everything is seen under its
natural s'iilI- or perspective, and the
picture tint >'ds Itself, the different ob
jects rc •< og to their proper relative
dist i- i d.liig details very obvious
whe-ii ciav I •• unnoticed if looked at
in the ordinary way.
"As a sort of corollary to the above
use o e eye alone to decide whether a
lnndscnpe or other scene is worth tnk
iuir. If with one eye the scene looks
flat it will not make a satisfactory
photograph."
JAPAN'S DARING WHALERS.
They Risk Drowning to Escape the In
furiated Animal's Tail.
Many of the Japanese whalemen are
most expert and daring men. After a
whale has been cornered, harpooned
and is slowly giving out from ex
haustion tiie nimble expert of the
whaling crew must prove his mettle.
The skilled Jap. after jumping upon
the animal's buck and cutting two
gashes in the head, one on each side,
through which a rope must be run and
tied, cannot always perform his work
in one trial. Often the animal makes
a deep i!;\c. Hut the little Jap must
hold fast to his Qitarrv and dive also,

trusting to his fates tnat ms own mr
supply in bis lungs will last as long as
the whale's.
The Jap is safer from being drowned
thau from being crushed by the Infuri
ated animal's tall. If the little Jap
let go it usually means death, so he
bangs on to the diving quarry. Fre
quently these whalemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
of their crew look upon this misfor
tune with something of ■a fatalistic
regard.
But the main business in band is the
capture of the whale. As the tight
progresses and the maddened, fright
ened animal grows weaker and finally
is dying the boat crews row closer to
the body and pray for the ease of the
departing spirit. Members of the crew
will call out the words "Joraku, Jo
raku. Joraku!" and ou the third day
after the animal has been hauled
ashore a service is held and prayers
offered for the animal's future con
tentment in spirit.
As soon as the animal has been tow
ed to the shore line he is cut up, the
Japs making huge excavations and
penetrating inside the animal's body
as though entering a mine shaft or
gallery and eventually making their
exit, all covered with blood. It is a
grewsome sight, but Is looked upon
purely as a matter of course among
the Jap whalemen.—Exchange.
Germany's Uhlans.
The uhlan hussar was borrowed from
the Polish military system. Uhlan
means simply lancer. Hussar Is a word
that comes from the language of the
Hungarians, meaning twenty. It com
memorates the time when eveny group
of twenty men in the kingdom was re
quired to furnish one cavalryman. So
it means the representative of twenty
men. The word dates from the time of
Matbias Corvinus. when in national
Hungarian levies every twenty men
had to furnish ou© fully equipped
horseman, who, in accordance with the
fact, wan called "hussar."—Brooklyn

RECORD FOOTBALL RUSH.
It Came When a New and Ugly Tackle
Broke Into the Game.
One day. while the whaleshlp Nar
whal was tied to an ice Hoe In Bering
sea and the lookouts were at the mast
head scanning the open water south
ward for the appearance of whales, a
party of the forecastlenieu wade a
football of rags and cord and went
over tlie bow to kick the misshapen
thing round on a smooth stretch of ice
a short distance from the vessel.
The fun was at its height and the
men were just getting the kinks out of
their legs when the harpooner in the
crow's nest called softly down to the
deck that a polar bear had scented the
men >>ii tlio_ ice and was excitedly
making his way toward them. No
warning was given 10 the football
players. Before long the bear appeared
close to the edge of the tloe, and he
seemed to be in a great hurry. lie
shambled rapidly along in and out j
among the hummocks, and every few I
feet he would pull himself erect to
sniff the air and crane his head anxi
ously. Closer and closer he came, and
it was plain that he grew more and
more excited. The men 011 board the
ship pot out their rifles to make sure
that the bear did no harm to the men
oil the ice.
The gaunt ice bear caine to the last
hummock that separated him from the
Held of play. One of the men was in
the act of "kicking the stuffing" out of
the ball when the bear sufideuy
emerged into clear view. The ball
fell on the ice. the man's leg came
hurriedly down 011 the ice, and the
man himself broke for the ship like a
deer. There was a succession of
frightened shouts, and the ice became
alive with running men. Xever was
there a quicker change of scene. Men
stumbled and fell and yelled and
fought for a grasp of the rope ladder.
The men on deck were so convulsed
with laughter that they made no effort
to shoot the bear. And after the lirst
whoop the bear became so thoroughly
alarmed 111 tbo consternation lie had
caused that he turned tail and fled in a
clumsy gallop down the ice tides.—

Africa.
Africa is more appropriately named
than many other countries, for the I
word comes from the Phoenician
"afer." meaning "a black man," and
the Sanskrit "ac," meaning "earth,
land, country."
