The "King Poco" Camera.
There is one of the special rewards
decided upon by The Ttibuno at the
time of thp Inauguration of Us Edu

is the "King Poco" camera. There are
many cameras, of all sizs and makes,

What Telescopic Photography Is.
Uvcr since the advent of tho hand
cameras made tho amateur photogra
pher a possibility, this samo ama
teur has bewailed th great quantity
of picture which li has obtained on
his plate. It was exasperating to
'make a snapshot of, say, a horse trot
ting, and find that the horse which
wns within twenty aids ot him Is
less than nn Inch In height In the
photograph.
This question, which troubles the
amateur, has alto tumbled the moip
advanced worker, ,ml he has long
been trying to obtain the power to
select and enlaige a choice bit of some
distant view to the exclusion of other
und surioundlng matter. In a tenta
tive and oxpeilment il way, this has
been done for jean, bit ery little
practical work was done on these
lines until tho tele-photo lense, ns we
know It today, was Invented. Pel haps
no one application of tele-photography
is moi e widely nppteclntod than Its
uwp In connection with mountain
scenery. Now, wherever the photo
giapher visits the mountains, ho in,
from whateer point of view Is most
faorable, render the distant peak as
he sees It. In the past his plctuio
has been a mere map of half the coun
tiy side.
Distant Details Made Plain.
In the days when men wi ought to
fashion each minute pait with caie,
there was hidden In obscuio niches
and filezes much exquisite woik in
architecture, which is quite Inaccessi
ble to the ordinary camera, or even
to the oidlnniy vision. The tele-hoto
lens will unenlngly render the detail
of pinnacle or window oi g.ugoylo
better than had an artist ascended to
the spot.
An Interesting possibility In tele
photography Is Its use In war. In
deed, It would seem that the nations
nre alive to this fact, for the usual
tourist who Incuts the dlspleasuio of
Kuiopean dynasties by photopraphlng
near foitlllcatlons was this year ar
rested In Italy, more than eight miles
from tho fortress against which, ho
was supposed to have designs.
Those who, a few years ago, pro
phesied that the hand cameras would
become a universal factor, were re
garded as visionaries. But the use of
the hand camera Is today more com
mon than the greatest optimist looked
for.
Mountain Peaks Are Brought Close
to the Camera.
Tho fundamental pilnciplo of the
tele-photo lens lies In the proper use
of what is known as negatho or con
cave lens. It Is, Ind"Pd, rc citing to
tho beginning of things. Galileo's flist
etude telescope win composed of a
lens to collect and focus the rays ot
light, and another lens to dispeise or
enlarge them; and In this combina
tion of the two lens's wo have the
fundamental pilnelpl" of the tele
photo louse. Inaccessible mountain
peaks can bo shown to us as they ap
pear close at hand, dominating the
land and cleaving tli- sky not ns
points thousands of feet distant.
Ameilea Is the country of astnoss.
Theie Is fitness In her Niagara, her
Yosemlte, not less than In her tower
ing buildings of New Yotk rind Chi
cago anil many other cities. The phy
sical masslveness ot her tieasmes
have been all uniecoid'd In the past.
The puny cameia with its wide tange
was Incapable of selecting one gteat
object and depicting It In solltaiy
stiength. Hut with the tele-photo
lens we may look for more woithy
leeoids, and the contestant In Tho
Tiibune's Educational Contest who
selects this lewnul will have a most
Miluiblo and lemaikable Instiument,
and one fiom which nay be iletlveil
much pleasuie and piollt.
