TAKING A CAMERA ABROAD
It Bahooves One to Be Careful
What It Is Pointed Foreign
Nations Are Peevish.
at
If tho American tourist carries his
camera to Europe with him ho must
bo careful to avoid photographing per
sons, private property and particular
ly government buildings, forts, docks
and BhlpB without permission. Many
tourists havo got thomselves Into
much trouble In this way. especially In
Russia, where tho restrictions aro un
usually rigid and In Germany, also.
A few years ago Germany passed a
special bill through tho relchstag deal
ing with this matter and Imposing
heavy penalties upon those who ln
frihgo tho regulations. Damages to
the amount of $1,500, 'with a flno of
$250, or two months' Imprisonment,
will henceforth bo tho fato of anyone
who snapshots a prlvato person, a
work of art or the interior of a prl

lishes the plcturo without permission.
Persons In tho public eye, such as
members of tho royal family, states
men, actors and well-known divines,
aro excepted. So, too, nre public build
ings and works of art in public gal
leries. In Portugal tho authorities aro cu
riously suspicious. A gentleman re
cently wroto to a London paper say
ing that he was arrested for snapping
the royal palace In Clntra. It is pos
sible, however, that under tho now
Portuguese reglmo tho palaces will
no longer bo held so sacred.
In Italy tho camera of the tourist is
made tho means of providing revenue
for that somewhat Impoverished coun

on a visit to Pompeii or others of tho
recently excavated ruins you may tako
as many photographs as you please,
but you aro forced to pay a small fee
for each plato exposed.

A certain Glitch bought a few Ger

Glitch dispatched his forgeries to
tho general staff of the French army,

similar documents for tho uso of Hub.
