TAKI
G PICTURE
AT
NIGHT
WITH
THE
FLA

ApPARATUS.
T
HE
recent
invention
of
the
flash
light
apparatus
makes
easy
the
takmg
of
photographs
at
night,
with
such a
camera
as
the
Kodet.
The
requisites
are:
The
Kodet
Camera,
The
Flash
Light
Apparatus.
The
fla
h
light
apparatus
consi ts of a
specially
constructed
alcohol lamp,
having
in
front
of
it a
little
tray
upon
which
is
poured
a
teaspoonful
of flash
light
powder
(see
table,
page
36).
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
project
the
flame
of
the
lamp
upon
the
powder, when
it
is
desired
to
take
a
picture.
As
soon
as
the
flame
touches
the
powder
it
flashes up
an
intense
white
light,
sufficiently
strong
to
make
a
picture
instantaneously.
