THE INTEREST JN INSECTS 
be photographed to good advantage. He 
says, “I love all creatures, perhaps more 
than the average man.” He has found 
that chloroform carefully administered 
does not harm the insect. A grasshop- 
per on awakening will soon be as frisky 
as ever. The chloroform only tones 
them down for a few minutes required to 
take the photograph. The foregrounds 
are formed of a variety of plants, and 
i r 
he obtains cloud effects by enlargements 
from cloud negatives. All his pictures 
are staged and photographed indoors, 
because it would be impossible to do 
such work in an air current that might 
upset the arrangements. He has dis- 
played a good deal of ingenuity and, the 
results of his efforts suggest a wide range 
of possibilities.
