MARK.

In Following the Equator there was used an amusing picture showing

Mark Twain on his trip around the world. It was a trick photograph

made from a picture of Mark Twain taken in a steamer-chair, cut out

and combined with a dilapidated negro-cart drawn by a horse and an

ox. In it Clemens appears to be sitting luxuriously in the end of

the disreputable cart. His companions are two negroes. To the

creator of this ingenious effect Mark Twain sent a characteristic

acknowledgment.
