A Wonderful Photograph. — I have photo- 

 graphed a mountain range 95 miles away, beating 

 all previous distance records by 30 miles. Better 

 still, I have made a picture, a most unusual thing 

 In tele-photography. The subject Is Mount Baker, 

 Washington, a snow-clad mountain 11,100 ft. high. 

 The point of view is Victoria, British Columbia. 

 For beauty the scene Is not excelled on earth. In 

 the Immediate foreground is a solid bank of prime- 

 val forest: then come the Haro Straits, 45 miles 

 wide, dotted with many islands: next rise the foot- 

 hills, blending into the snowy grandeur of the 

 Rocky Mountains, with Ba: er towering high above, 

 a silent sentinel. 1 have also photographed the 

 Olympic Mountains, Washington, from Victoria, a 

 distance of 65 miles, again getting a picture. It 

 took me 18 months of persistent effort to get them: 

 but I will not bother you with my troubles. I am 

 selling prints from the original negatives. 6/4 x 8%. 

 at $1.50 each, but will supply the pair for $2.00. They 

 are printed on heavy cream paper, ready for fram- 

 ing. F. DUNDAS TODD.
