Wilson's quarter century in photography : a collection of hints on practical photography which form a complete text-book of the art . t chanced to come in. I make ita rule to have two plates always ready when taking children, which enable me to makefour impressions of the child, one of which is almost sure to be a goood one. This is mysimple way of taking pictures of the little ones, and good artists complete the work sosimply begun.—John A. Scholten. 30. The construction of the roof of a glass-house is a matter that will bear, and shouldget, very serious consideration. The form of sash-bar I give below is rather different from that in common use, andconsists of two pieces. Here are sections of them. Fig. 94. The object of the grooves in B is to catch and convey outside any leakage at the edgesof the panes; and is copied from the Photographic News Year-Book, GLASS-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION. 93 A is the reception-room, 12 by 20 feet. B is the studio, 13 by 28 feet.

C is the dressing-room, 6 by 8 J feet. D the printing-room,11 by 6 feet, (r is a long window for printing in. The frames are placed ona shelf just outside. E the dark-room for paper, negatives, etc. F is the Fig 94. B Where the ordinary form of sash is in use, a strip of wood shaped thus, and screwedto the underside of the bar, will be found a very useful addition. The plan, however, Ihave to suggest, is the employment of a strip of soft India-rubber cordin place of i)utty on the outside of the glass, which is brought closelydown upon it by means of the slip of wood (or, preferably, iron) shownin the cut, marked A. The glass having been bedded as inputty, A is screwed down, and with the India-rubber forms an imper-meable joint, which, unlike the putty, will yield to the shaking of theroof in windy weather, but it will not allow the
