Ho would not <Uro l-o touoJ: in hirusol£ Any ota n^ venture upon talring an «03ective apart and cleaning it, providh~i he vy-hl only d 0 jj carefully. In cho first place "do not use either -> chamoi3 skin, tissno paper or an old fit,. -^dkeroaief, or any other snoh sil.'c In*.. is usually advised." Usematerial as . r'">nTOin,v» wot«. I ohfi?secloth. I- -._ ''it to do the misrial, though, that is u» ,-rticles, which chief, but the fire dust psu '■♦■ached to may be silicious and become aw « n on the glass. This is the way to beg*~ tho objective: Take a vic^en howl, cl«3auea with. • eoap and vratc-. 1-hen half fill it -with clean watei cf about the same temperaturo as tho glus3 aud put in a teaspoon- j fnl of amracnia in half a pail of wateK. 1 j First wash a piece of cheesecloth thor- j onghly with soap and water and rinse and cltian.

When thoroughly 5 washed, take the glass out, lay it on a ' bundle of cheesecloth, and use several pieces of the same, which have been previously washed clean and dried., and 1 dry it. Don't let it drain dry. Take tip all the moisture with the cloth. Vigorous rubbing will do no harm if the surfaces have no abrading material. An objective can be cleaned without taking it out of its cell. First dust off the particles, then use the cheesecloth , with soap and water. Go over the sur- 1 face gently with one piece of cloth pud : throw it away and take another, then a third one. When tho glass is clean, j take a piece of dry cloth and dry it. , Of course photographic lensea oan be cleaned in the came way.
