A MIRROR PHOTOGRAPH OF THE AA FLORAL EMBLEM. 

 Photograph by Mrs M.' E. McDougall, Plattsburgh, N. Y. 



reflected in a glass)' lake. But here it is 

 evident that the appeal is wholly to our 

 sense of beauty, or to the novelty of the 

 topsy turvy. All photographers take de- 

 light in work of this kind and vie with 

 one another to get the most effective 

 "turn in either way" results. But mir- 

 ror photography has more than a novel 

 or aesthetic value. Take, for example, 

 that excellent "The Frog: Book" by Miss 



Dickerson. Suppose some of the best 

 photographs of her specimens had been 

 taken in front of a mirror it would have 

 given us an all round view. When one 

 goes to a tailor to have a coat fitted, he 

 is made to stand between triple mirrors 

 and the tailor tilts and swings them in 

 threefold directions to just the right an- 

 gle so that basting threads and a one- 

 armed "raggedy" coat projects into the 



BELGIAN HARES. PHOTOGRAPHED IN MIRROR.
