Wilson's quarter century in photography : a collection of hints on practical photography which form a complete text-book of the art . shut witha connecting-rod like our window-blinds. To sum up, make muslin slats, eighteen incheswide, the length of your skylight, fasten them in a frame, connect them together with arod, carry a line from each end of the rod into your room, and work them at any angleyou choose.—M. P. Brown. GLASS-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION. 103 36. During certain seasons of the year the light from the south shines toodirectly upon the roof of the glass-room. This is overcome by wooden screensplaced upon the roof, and so arranged with block and tackle that they can beraised and lowered at will. See the N. P. A. plan on page 96. The ventilation of the glass-room should not be forgotten, and can be bestsecured by the architect. And now, lastly, I add engravings of the reception-room and interior ofthe skylight of a most approved studio, that of Mr. P. H. Rose, Providence,R. I. The splendid study of the two young ladies which embellished thePhiladelphia Photographer, for February, 1887, was made here. Fig. The waiting-room is a beauty spot, a place ut rest, rather than a place forthe anticipation of impending torture. If one comes to such for the pur])ose of 36. I employ for cooling my atelier an apparatus which is called a refrigerator. AnIndia-rubber bag, supplied with valves, is placed on the floor, and by stepping on it withthe foot it acts like a pair of bellows, and forces the air into the bag; the air passesthrough an India-rubber tube, and passes next into a glass tube; this sucks at once waterfrom a vessel and distributes it through a point as a fine spray through the room, and byevaporation the temperature becomes at once lower. I employ this apparatus not only for cooling the atmosphere, but I moisten with italso the interior of the camera, and since its employment I have not been troubled withdrying spots.—Mr. Prumm. 104 WILSONS QUARTER CENT
