Novel Use of Photography

A sigular use was made of photogia^hy py means of the electric light near Pars; recently. Seme time ago Heveralminers were emtombed by a heavy fall of earth near Paris. Their fellow laborers dug and dug with almost .superhuman efforts to extrioate them ; ; ftut , .at the end of the week, when all hope of rescuing any of them alive had died away, it was found, ait> *r a ■ siurvey of the situation, that uearly two months must elapse before the p;»or> fellows could be reached. Ti.eir.meii of the district, however, refused to -I >e comforted,, and those who had relatives ia the mine -which had thus collapsed" insisted upon the weary £ work being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. It struck some scientist, who was an amateur photographer,'that it would be possible; to 1 abtain:' a : picture of the actual spot where the men were buried. A boring was therefore^ made, , and a small camera.pi^ced aiiKQ end o^ a series of steel rods. ; In the . camera was a dry plate,. and near it an apparalu-; for giving out electric light. The camera- was ',i.U|hed through the opening and electric light flasheil on, and the , plate :, exposed; jOn bejng enlarged it gave a dreadfully pathetic picture, of the. scene in the heartof the mine, ■ showing that each of the sufferers* was; dead. The popular feeling at once quieted down, and was at once succeeded hy- the resignation which providentially soothes us when we know J the.worßt.
