His application of it, however, was novel and his treatment of it taking fast hold of the elemental springs of mirth is as fresh to-day as it was a hundred years ago.

Now, suddenly, with a sort of exultation, he laid hold of the world. There was impressed photographically on his consciousness the great industry. Suddenly, it was real, he was part of it. Down the valley ran the colliery railway, linking mine with mine.

It will not be long before every star photographically visible to the most powerful telescope will have its present position accurately defined on these photographic charts.
