The
flash
light
apparatus
consists
of a
specially
constructed
alcohol
lamp,
having
in
front
of it a
little
tray
upon
which
is
poured
about
a
teaspoonful
of flash
light
powder.
A
rubber
tube
attached
to a
blow
pipe
in
the
flame of
the
lamp
conveys
a
blast
of
air
from a
bulb
held
in
the
hand
and
serves
to
pro-
ject
the
powder
into
th
e flame of
the
lamp
when
it is
desired
to
take
a
picture.
As
soon as
the
powder
touches
the
flame
it
flashes
up
an
intense
white light, sufficiently
strong
to
make
a
picture
instan
taneousl
y.
Many
interiors
can
be
taken
with
the
flash li
ght
that
are
impracticable
by
daylight,
either
by
reason
of a
lack
of illumi-
nation
or
because
there
are
windows in
the
direct
line of view
which
cannot
be
darkened
sufficiently to
prevent
the
blurring
of
the
picture
.
Pictures
are
taken
so
quickly
that
groups
of
people
around
a
dinner
table
or
card
table
can
be
taken
as
clear
and
sharp
as if
they
were in
the
open
sunlight.
This
enables
the
photog-
rapher
to
obtain
souvenirs
of
many
occasions
which
have
hitherto
been
quite
beyond
th
r::
range
of
the
art.
