A Deer Takes Its Own Photograph.

Charles Hughes, of Red Bluff, Cal., has succeeded in taking a most remarkable picture of a deer. He chose a spot where deer were known to be plentiful and set up his camera and a flash-light apparatus iu such a way that a deer in passing would press the button, opening the shutter of the camera and firing the flash-light. The next dny lie found that the button had beeu pressed and on developing the plate he found au excellent picture of u frightened deer. It was taken In the middle of the previous night, when no one wns within miles of the camera.
