PHOTOGRAPHY ANO FINE ART.
Few persons could be found who
would deny the claim, of photography
to rank among the fine arts, when
■killully used and properly controlled,
since the -photography of of to-day is
something more than a mechanical re-
production. The individuality of the
photographer is being expressed in
his work almost as much as is that of
the painter. The painter still has the
advantage, for while he may give us
an impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which Is ob-
served with such unerring fidelity and
skill by a mechanical eye. Composi-
tion i. therefore one of the necessary
principles to the photographer, who
thu. supplies the mechanical eye with
a mind, yet he must study lighting at
different hours of the day and varying
weather conditions that he may know
the best effects to be obtained. Many
otherwise successful photographers
need to realize that scientific accuracy
is not necessarily artistic truth, so
that, while one actualizes, the definite
sharpness may be softened and the ef-
f< ct enhanced.—Home Magazine.

Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it
“The Door Unbolted” is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and il-
lustrates, the story of this remark-

business was started Jan. 1, 1896,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings of the “White City”
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most Interesting build-
ing, for it represents the humble bo-
ginning of one of the country’s great- “
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years. . .
