MANY BEAUTIES OF PARIS EXPOSITION VARNEY GASKILL WRITES OF PREVAILING CONDITIONS. Says That Hotel Rates Will Be Only Slightly Advanced and Parisians ‘Will Not Overcharge. A communication has been addressed to The Call by V. W. Gaskill, secretary of the Paris Exposition Commission of 1900, in which he writes about conditions as he has found them to exist in Paris since his residence in the French capital. He say “The exposition and palaces and pavil- fons and the adornments of the grounds will present to visitors an ensemble ex- quisitely beautiful and commensurate with the genius of artistic Paris and of the world—all co-laborers in this majestic apotheosis of the nineteenth century’s close. “Regarding the alleged overcharge by the Parisians for all the necessities of life, I desire to state that there will be an incfease of present hotel rates of only 25 per cent on and after April 1. Prices will range from $2 per day in the third-class boarding houses; $3 per day in second- class hotels; $4 to $5 50 per day In small first-class hotels; and $3 to $10 per day in the larger first-class hotels in Waldorf- | Astoria style. ““The recently constructed hotels in the Passy district, which is contiguous to the northwestern portion of the exposition grounds, advertise the cost of sojourn after April 15 for one person, $4 57T per day; two _persons, $4 30 per day, and three persons, $4 per day, if all occupy the same room. Rooms may also be had at a hotel at an average of {l 5 per day, while nu- merous restaurants serve noon and even- ing meals at prices averaging 52 cents meal.

Every one is more or less familiar with the action of a lens, yet an air of misti- | ness always seems to surround this most | essential part of the phagographer's out- fit. The fundamental principles on which | lenses are comstructed and which govern | their use are not at all difficult to under- stand. The action of a lens in forming a picture depends upon the fact that light | travels in straight lines until it meets | with an obstruction,and If the obstruction is one through which light can pass—i. e., transparent—the ray will be bent out of | 1ts course while passing through the sub- stance and again diverted when it emerges | into the air. This phenomenon constitutes FIGURE 1 i refraction and is easily demonstrated by the familiar experiment of placing a pen- | cil in a glass of water and viewing it from !above and from the side. In either case | the straight rod appears to be bent. In | reality, of course, only the rays of light reflected by the pencil have been bent by the water. Had the glass been filled with some fluld lighter than water, such as al- | cohol, the pencil would have appeared less bent, while had the substance been | more dense, for instance chloroform, it RN NN N SRR R IR RO N Re N e NeNeNeN +RNeN e NeNeN sNoNe L +RoReR oK% Ne N RQ The new major He was chosen captain and popular officer with the men of his First Second Lieu- L R R R R GOLFERS OUT IN FORCE AT SAN RAFAEL Council’'s Cup Contest and FIGURE 3. would have apparently been bent more: | thus it is that the greater the dlfference between the density of the air and that of the refracting substance the greater a Handicap at the | the amount of refraction.

A convex lens will cause the rays of light coming from an object or group of objects to converge until at a fixed distance they form a Donovan Loses the Go. BUFFALO, N.

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS. formed by such a single lens it would be found that while the circular image is Quite large, only a small portion in the center would appear sharply defined, While an ever-increasing amount of d tortion would appear from the center o ward. While no photographic lens has ever yet been made which would give ab- solute sharpness over its entire image c cle, the modern anastigmats designed Professor Abbe of Jena very nearly do s0, It will thus be seen that one of the most valuable features of a lens is the ab to produce a sharp, non-distorted im: over the whole image circle, and the m nearly a lens will do this the more v able it is. (‘,ou&)led with “covering power as it is called, there should be rapidit of a lens depends upon number of rays of light which it will e verge upon a given area. Light procee from every luminous object, equally in a directions, hence all lenses having tha same diameter will receive an equal amount of light. It is the manner in which the lens converges the light which determines the speed. The photographic plate is affected more or less quickly as the light which falls, upen it is more or less intense. The Intensity of light variea inversely with the square of the distanca from its source, For practical purposes weé may consider the source of light fall- ing upon the photographic plate to be at the lens. Then, supposing two lenses of the same diameter and having the same size image circles to differ in focal length by one-half. accérding to the law of in- tensity the image formed by the lens hav- ing the shorter focus will be four times as bright as the other, the illumination will be four times as intense and the iens will secure a. picture in one-fourth time required by the other. For rapid photography, and this includes the greater part of amateur photography, it is obvious that the lens should have the shortest possible focus and at the same time be able to produce a perfectly sharp image over the whole plate. The difficul- tles of the optician begin when he at- tempts to combine these desirable fea- tures. To returh to our single convex lens, a portion of its indistinctness can be done away with by placing an opaque stop, with a small circular opening in it, front of the lens. The smaller the ope ing the larger the area of sharpness w be, at the same time the vol will be correspondingly reduc lens made slower. The practical solu is the use of a stop of moderate size a a lens having an image circle much larg than the dlagonal of the plate of the cz era, thus allowing the indistinct por of the image circle to fall outside the its of the picture to be used. Under these immutable conditions it will be seen th only a lens of very limited speed can had when the double convex form is em- ployed. This is the cheapest form of le made. The simple meniscus lens is an 1 provement on the double convex form, which it resembles, with the exceptic that the surface toward the object i3 curved inward Instead of outward. This increases the area of sharpness in the image circle and permits the use of a lens at shorter focus and greater aperture. The rays of light which fall upon the portions of a lens farthest from the cen- ter and at the most oblique angles are tt ones which are most acted upon by the lens, and which, unless some speciai pro- vision is made for them in the construc- tion of tRe lens, cause Indistinctness the image and make it necessary to sh them out by means of stops: therefore the lens which can bring the greatest numb of these marginal rays to aid in the for mation of a sharp image will be the mo: rapld and give the least distorted image. he next step in this process is the e; ployment of two lenses of different shape cemented together to form one lens. Ona lens is of crown glass with comparative- ly low refracting power and the other of flint glass of great refractive action. The resulting lens is called an achromatie lens, and is superior to either the double con- vex or meniscus, as its image circle has a larger sharply defined area and a much shorter focus may be employed on the same plate, thus giving greater speed. These single achromatic lenses are also made double convex and meniscus, of which the meniscus is the better. Having proceeded so far, it i3 easy to see that still further resul can_be obtaimed by the proper combination of two achromatic the the FIGURE 7. lenses, constructed for the pu . _Into one compound lens. The simplest form is that known as “rectilinear.” in which two meniscus achromatic lenses called “systems’” are mounted In a tube with their concave surfaces facing each other The rectilinear lens is vastly superic to the single le: excelling in all the p perties which have mentioned in o nection with lenses. If all objects co: be photographed at a distance of 100 feet or more from the camera, single len: might do quite well, but when it is sired to make at one time shar; ictures of all objects from immediately in front of the lens to the greatest distance, it Is im- portant to have a lens which will do so without unduly reducing its speed. Dep of focus, as this property is called, varies directly with the focus of the lens, being reatest in the short-focus lenses. The epth of focus can be increased In any lens by “stopping it down"—that is, eut- ting off the marginal rays and reducing the speed. Rectilinear lenses have only half the focal length of single lenses hav- ing the same image ecircle, hence are much more rapid. will make a much larger picture and have greater depth of focus. They also possess one other fea- ture of greater importance—the ability to reproduce straight lines correctly. In the single lenses the distortion of the image is such that when photographing a bufld- ing or other objects having parallel lines, the lines appear crowded together at the margin of the picture, while in the rectili- near lens no such distortion occurs. The rectilinear lens has fits defects, being unable to reproduce lines at different angles with equal distinctness. In the nufacture of lenses a varia- tion of L000th of an inch is as readily detectapfe as a hand's breadth difference in ordfnary measurement. All defective lenses are rejected. Herein les the snare for the unwary purchaser. The unscru- pulous manufacturer may use lenses with slight defects such as laymen could not himself detect, with the result that the purchaser of such a lens would find him- self with an instrument from which it is impossible to obtain the best results, al- though it may be apparently perfect. It is for this reason that only lenses by makers of established Integrity should ever be considered. —_—— COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. Spring Term, 1800. Mondays—American Political Par- ties.
