Stretches of open beach, break- ing suraand vessele entirely surround- ed by water require oath quarter the exposure. If the 'shutter of your camera Is not adiustable to different speeds, you can obtain a properly timed negative by using a. sinaillerssize stop when you photograph any exoeptionally well - lighted subject The eizes of the stope are such that each one passes just one half its much light as the next larger one; so, if you have been gettaig well- timed landscape negatives with the largest stop, the next at:nailer one should be used: for the -ordinary slated or waterfront subject and the third one for open beaches and vessels in open water. Should you have a shatter that has /several speeds and a diaphragm scalp marked for either the standard "F" sizes or the 'Universal System of stop numbers, the following exposures will be about right -In thee cases: For views round wharves between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in bright. summer weather, ate fiftieth of a Second, stop F 16 (U, S. No. 16); for shipping surrounded by open water, one hundredth of a sec- ond, stop 16, These exposures are suitable only fin- the extra-rapld plates and films. If plates or films of the usual speed are use/a stop F (U. S. No. 8) should be employed instead of F 16. The best pietas ter the purpose are the double - coated non-balation orthochromatie. Choosing Your Subject. When a folding camera is used in bright sunshine negatives are fre- quently obtained that are flat and fog- gy because of the direct sunlight or strong reflected light that tails upon the front surface of the lens. Conse- quently it is wise to make a short cardboard tube and paint it a dull black inside. It should be made of such a size that it will fit snug over the lens mount, but it must not be long enough to -cut off any of the view that the lens includes. The question ean be settled by placing the tube in position and sighting through the lens with your eye at one comer of the back of the camera. The easiest class of water scenes to photograph are or- dinary ceast subjects su.eli as a miry - lag beaoh, a group of rooks by the water's edge, a small boat hauled up out of reach of the tide or a fish shan- ty with perhaps a: weal -placed figure or two suitably employeel—which does not mean that they should stare at the camera. Simple material and lit- tle of it is the most effective, Don't try to Include a great expartse of beach or water evith nothing of interest in the foreground, for the result 'win be disappointing. Next to -choosing your subject and your viewpoint Intelligently comes suitable lighting. 'Whea the sun is high overhead objects cast little shad- ow. Everything ,is flooded with light, and a photograph made under such canditions is fiat and monototems. Aim to behinds a fair amount of shadow in your composition, such as Prevails When the sua is at one s•ide and not too high. A ray filter, if you know how to use it, will often improve the rendering of a beath scene, particu- larly if there are light clouds in the sky, which add to the attractiveness of the effect. The ray filter of octurse requires a longer exposure; the length of time depends upon the kind of filter and the kind of plate. PhotograpKing Vessels. Like photographing surf, catching vessela under sail calls for prompt de- cisions, "eep,eelally when the subject is near and m,oving aSt, bet a little prae- tthe soon gives eonflden.ce. 4. rather low viewpoint usually shows the lines of a vessel to the best adVantage, and the, feeling of action is most strongly expressed when the craft is presented at an angle, either coining toward or going from the observer, .Although a side lighting gives a good play of light and shade -you Should not oVerloolt the effectiveness of shipping as seen against the light, especially when the Sun Is 1.0w etough to prodithe a shin- ing path Of light upon the water or a fine cloud effect furntshes an interest.: ing background. When you are Work- ing aboard a vessel in motion don't rest the earnera, upon the rail or cabin, particularly if the Vessel is a steamer, for the vibration from the maehinery is likely to blur the image. Ale& avoid standing where the vibration is most noticeable. Muth Of the advice here given ap- plies aleo to inland water scenetsy es- pecially those about the larger lakes and rivers, for they may be classed as "Marines" whenever water or ship. ping is more conspicuous than other kof tile composition In dealing With sit& a Sulgleet OS the tree-lited bankfs of a stream or a fake Or a Water- fall in a glen the general tone and form c the land and foliage should help to decide what pronortiou of the ,1 spec° tbe water should mompy in the pictnre, As the contregt between th e water and the shore nee is usually pronounced, a more pleeeieg composi- tion eart, generally be produced bY showing tae shere line in peinpeetive and so leading the eye into the pic- ture rather than by letting the line of the sliere run horizontally fieross the picture, which tend e to cut it into two Parte. IT you wish to represent a view across a small river or lake, try to include a suitable 'bit of the near bank for a foreground. That will give an idea of the space -between the ob- server and the shore opposite and will also produce a more attractive nom - position, Take Rapids at An Angie. Shimmering refleetions are mare ef- fective in a. picture than those of mir- ror-like ebarpnees, but the sharp ones can be broken up by striking the water with a long stick just before you make the exposure, If the foreground of a river or lake scene -is light in tone,' the expostre re- quired may not be more than one half that demantled by the average land- scape; bat, if there is thick foliage upon the near bank, the- subject ahould be tinted as a similar landseape away from the water would be tithed. When possible waterfalls and rapids should be pictured front a quartering viewpoint ratherthan directly "head on," for the flow of the water in a sidewise direction will better suggest its motion than when it comes straight down toward the spectator. A mueh slower exp.oeure can be allowed than is necessary for breaking sura. From one fifth to -one tenth of a second is usually fast enough. Use a large stop; it increases your chance of getting de- tail in the darker surroundings *with- out an exposure long enough to spoil the detail in the moving water. Courage.

The last test of 'a 'man is his de- meanor toward his rivals. Any man is able without effort to be friendly to'his ' friends, genial among the -congenial. Ttere is no warrant for a quarrel with our comrades picked and chosein But what are we_ among competi- tors? Do We keep our tempers, and play fair with them? Do we -scorn to take a sly advantage?

Driving a, nail into a piece' of wood may seem to Juana, a simple process, and one that woind hardly be of much interest to a laboratory. A nail Is used, however, for a given purpose— it Is intended to hold and stay where it is put. Thi e feature of nail driving Is of very great interest, as practically all wood construction is dependent eip-- on nails. The holding power of tails has been the ,subject of a great deal of investi- gation by the Forest Products Labora- tories of the Department of the Inter- ior. There are many kin de of woad being used at Present for building and other wood -work, and the list is oon- etatetly being added to. There are al- so Many kinds of nails, together with varied lengths and thickness in each. It is 00111320041 knowledge that the cut nail has greater holding power th.anntlie wire nail, but it is not so eaSily driven, while the wire nail when cement coated, barbed, eth., has its holding- power considerably increased., Again, where large quantities of nails are -used, as in the packing eases in- d.ustry, a difference of onehalf in length of nails required to seciire the necessary strength in the case may mean a considerable saving, on account of the larger number of nails to the pound. The proper nails, to use with the different species of wood, and the re- quired represents, as will be seen, a problem with which all users of nails are eonfronted, and it is one in which the Foreet _products Laboratories are endeavoring to solve. Some six hun- dred tests have been made, with spe- cially designed equipnrent, and the work will be continued until all Cana- dian commercial woods have been covered. Bank Bilis Paper Rec1aime4. What becomes of all the defaced and damaged. paper money is a ques- tion that has often been asked of bankers. Heretofore the answer has invariably been, that it , is burned, Many i te ettng stories associated with the burning ceremony have gone the rounds 'of the press., among them being one in which an exeessive draft in the furnace littered' St. James, Street, in Montreal, with partially bu.rned bills. Ottawa's fire depart- ment was once ealled out to an,swer • an alarm oe fire when damaged paper j money was being destroyed in thej furnaces of the Finance Department in the East Block. Later the melting furnaces at the Mint were used for this purpose. , The destruction lay learning of con- demned paper money seems likely to become an absolete practice. The Forest Products Laboratories, of the Department of the Interior, have been carreing en a series of experiments to 'develop the best method of recovering good paper stock from the condemned paper ctirrency Withdrawn from circu- lation by the Department of Finanee and the various banks, and to ascer- tain if such annethod iS eammercially feasible, Refining of the Stock pro- duced under normal cooking condi- tions was 'carried out and, by the.ase Carillonneur Plays for 100,,Q00 People The Chevalier Josef, curiously ab- breviated to "Jeff," Denyn, the noted Flemielt carillonneur, can cleim, in the wards of a writer in The London Morning Post, "that he has endowed an old instrument with a new soul, that he bas not only given his Coate trymen a new zest to their traditional love for the c,arillion, but bas spread a knowledge of its beauties and quali- ties in countries where these were previously unknown.

But two -carillon keyboards, operating on metal plates ins•tead of bells allow them to attain proficiency before venturing on the,. -carillon its -elf, 'It is an illumina'ing experience for those whose knowledge of bells COMES from change ringing to see Denyn sit clown to the carilima key- board arid improvise With ahnost as little effort as if be 'were playing the organ.
