THE CAMERA

sometimes work in things that do not 

 show in any of the photographs. It is 

 by this last method, or in combination 

 with the first, that startling photo- 

 graphs are made in which different 

 things are not in the same proportion, 

 but appear greatly exaggerated as, for 

 example, a man standing on his own 

 hat. with the man not much taller than 

 the hat ; or a boy carrying an ear of 

 corn as big as himself. I recall the 

 picture of a man standing under the 

 hoof of a horse, the horse being in 

 rapid movement. In this case, the horse 

 was photographed when very near to 

 the lens, or with a lens of long focus, 

 so as to get an enlarged hoof and leg. 

 Then the man was photographed by a 

 short focus lens, or at a great distance 

 by a long focus lens. 



Trick photographs such as a man sit- 

 ting astride his own cigar which he 

 is smoking, are usually made by the 

 pasting method. None of these photo- 

 graphs have any nature study merit, 

 but they do have a camera merit, so 

 far as they show skill in the manipula- 

 tion of negatives, prints and lenses. 



Double Walnuts. 

 Chattanooga, Tennessee. 

 To the Editor : 



I find each issue of your magazine 

 very interesting indeed, and to add 

 somewhat, perhaps, to the interest. I 

 send you herewith a photograph of the 

 double hickory nuts that grow near 

 Chattanooga. So far as I am able to 

 ascertain, this is the only hickory tree 

 in existence that produces double nuts. 

 You are at liberty to use the picture in 

 your magazine if you choose to do so.

There may be several hickory trees 

 in the country having double nuts — 

 who can tell? They are not reported. 



or brought to our attention. This is 

 the only tree of which I have heard, 

 but doubling is a freak that occurs 

 with so man}- plants that the report of 

 another hickory with double nuts 

 would not surprise me. — R. T. M.
