A RARE SHARK WITH A RARER STOMACH: 



wonderful moving picture had a suit- 

 able camera been available- This tor- 

 nado caused no loss of life, but build- 

 ings, lumber, furniture, cooking uten- 

 sils and clothing were scattered for 

 many miles. Should one be fortunate 

 enough to meet one of these interest- 

 ing phenomena when he has a camera 

 with him, he should remember to ex- 

 pose for the clouds and not the land- 

 scape below. In the negative made 

 the landscape is clear glass and there- 

 fore comes black and entirely void of 

 detail as shown in the picture. The 

 negative was made on an ordinary 

 plate and developed in the usual way, 

 care being taken not to develop too far 

 but to keep it soft as one would do in 

 developing a clcud negative.

A Rare Shark with Rarer Stomach! 



Stanford University, California. 



To the Editor : — 



I am sending you a photograph of a 

 very rare shark, Rhinodon typicus, 

 from the Philippine Islands. It was re-

What's in a Name?" 



"Wilson's Photographic Magazine" 

 will in the future be known as "The Pho- 

 tographic Journal of America." This 

 change of name is not accompanied by 

 any change in ownership or in manage- 

 ment ; both the business and the editorial 

 staff remain as before, and will have the 

 aid of the ablest authorities on photo- 

 graphic topics. Neither does the change 

 indicate any change in principles, nor 

 any radical departure from the traditions 

 of the past, but a clearer consciousness 

 of higher aims than ever before and 3 

 larger appreciation of their application. 



The price has been reduced from three 

 dollars to one dollar and fifty cents. We 

 congratulate Mr. Thomas Coke Watkins 

 noon the beautiful and useful magazine 

 that he is producing. It is a gem in 

 printing, editing and photographic in- 

 terest. 



That reader who most fully appreciates 

 the poet, and derives the greatest pleas- 

 ure from his work, himself lives in cir- 

 cumstances most like those of the poet 

 himself. — Thoreau.
