Iitferrftlrtfi Ix-tulls of tho Making of
tike Andes Photograph.
Tho Andes photographs of Mars
were mndo with a large planetary
onmorn which carries with It an am
plifying lena. Thla camera wu fas
tenod to the lower end of the large
telcsoope of elghteen-lnch lena, and
nch of the many little Images shown
on the plates wan taken separately.
The telescope wan adjusted ao that
the planet waa in the centre of the
camera told; then the plate bolder
carrying the sensitive plate waa
plftcvvl In the carrier of the planetary
camera and sot In position for the
fl?st linage, the slide then being
drawn from the plate holder. A
bulb In the right hand opened the
shutter of the camera, allowing the
light from the planet to fall on the
sensitive plate, with an exposure of
about two seconds. Then a bulb in
the left hand shifting the plate for a
quarter of an Inch for the succeed
ing Image; and so on through the
entire series of Images taken on one
plate. Sometimes the plate 'was ar
ranged to shift from right to left
and sometimes in a vertical direction.
Inasmuch as the photographs were
made at night, virtually no light ex
cept that from Mars readied tho
plate, and the latter was not incapa
citated by one exposuro from receiving
other sensitive Impressions. About
half an hour was consumed In tak
ing the sixty Images on some of the
plates, and eight or ton plates were
exposed in one night's work. In all
tbout ten thousand negative Images
were taken. The plates hero repro
duced represent the work that was
done under the moot favorable con
ditions of atmosphere. Tho one of
July 13, taken during tho nearest ap
proach of the planet to the earth,
vo3 lit a distance of 3K,.riOO,00;j mllefi.
When Mara was at or near the zen
ith. It was necessary for me to He
oa my back while taking tho photo
graphs. As the beet "seeing" occurs In
"(lushes," the successive Images on
the same negntlve may differ some
what In wealth of finer detail; to
tho sklRod eye all show the larger
canals with remarkable clearness,
though the more delicate details are
Unit In reproduction. Of the ten
thousand separate Images of the
planet none is destitute of canals,
sad in some cases as many as twenty
live or thirty canals hove been count
ed In a single Imago. Several of the
previously observed double canals
chow their quality on the plates taken
during the Intervals of best atmos
pheric conditions.
This has been only the second op
position of Mars during which the
ranals have been successfully photo
graphed. The first and only pre
vious successful photographic Impres
sions of the canals were obtained at
the Lowell observatory, Flagstaff,
Arizona, during the opposition of
1905, through the thought and skill
of C. O. Lampland. Two years will
elapse before another opposition of
the planet, when It makes a still
nearer approach to the earth, and
after that no favorable opposition
will occur for a period of fifteen
years. E. C. Sllpher, in the Decem
ber Century.

Umbrellas on the Gold Coast.
An inferior chief In Lagos has, it Is
feared, committed the i.idlucretinn of
using a large and elaborate umbrella,
with the result that his euporlor chief
Is offended at what he rcgardd a
breach of Court etiquette.
Hitherto no one but a principal
chief had been allowed to carry an
umbrella, and wnen some time ago a
subordinate made an appearance with
one of rather showy design he was
promptly lined by the local Council.
The principal umbrellas for Ash
ontl and tho Gold Coast chleftans are
of enormous size, some of them when
open measuring ten feet across.
spiders As Aeronauts.
Writing of ballooning spiders in
Harpor's Magazine, Dr. 11. C. McCook
says: "Uiveu a steady breeze and a
free course, there is practically no lim
it to the distance which a ballooning
spider may traverse. The writer has
taken orb weavers from their snug
geries under divers sheltering projec
tions at the highest attainable point
on the dome of St. Peter's In Rome,
whither they had doubtless been car
ried by the wind when younglings.
One may see decks of gossamer afloat
at far greater heights. Seafaring folk
often note spider balloons speeding by
them at sea or entangled upon varloul
purts of the vessel.
