THE CAMERA'S EYE.

_ The camera, which can divide time ibto thousandths of a second and reBGrd the impressions of each, makes wtfffianent pictures of events which ms too quickly tor the dull human retina to recognise., it is only through m&' eamera tdat the motion of too piigs of flying birds and of the legs of ||tft-:runmng animals has been anamed. To tile camera the fuzzy drivers Of! „awiftly-speeding locomotives stand and stationary, while each Ping drop of rain in the driven storm distinct and seems to be frozen in its

Dimock Ms us he has successfully copied with camera the utterly faded photogifcraph of a schoolmate of 40 years ago !pand has thereby been enabled to preHsent to a grizzled veteran a likeness or [ his curly-headed youth. Changes in the »; pigment of the skin ; undiscoverablo by " the eye, appear with distinctness on tlie sensitive plate, and ample warning "■ of approaching disease has been given thereby.

When from the - darkness of night and storm the forked lightning flashes the camera makes a vivid and permanent picture of each fiery trail.
