A Camara For a Sultan.

What is perhaps the most costly camera in the world for its size has just been made for the Sultan of Morocco. According to a correspondent of the Westminster Gazette it is merely of the quarter plate dimension, but all the metal work of the camera Is of solid eigbteen-karat gold, each particular screw being of that precious metal and stamped with the official ballmark. This is the first time screws have had that honor conferred upon them. The case for the camera is of pure white morocco leather, lined with plush, and finished off with massive gold mountings and lock. When the camera is finished, a few days hence, it will represent a llttlo bill of some *ISOO.
