Looking into great depths, up sheer wall into patches of sky, over roofs and towers at The New York Chamber of Commerce. nightfall, when darkness has engulfed all else, the eye of the camera becomes blind, or distorted. It gives to the vision what the camera never sees— the most unreal and the most real of all things, according to the extremity of its moods.

At length through the rifts are distinguished the currents of traffic, and one tries to grasp the facts— steel and masonry and fretwork which architecture employs to grace her lines. By night the scene is even less real. Threads of light and curtains with mesh of fire are hung against the sky. Clouds and steam wreaths have given way to elec- tricity and starlight.
