[Illustration]
A very curious study in perspective is afforded by our next photograph,
which was taken by Mr. E. Ford, of Bridge Place, Bexley, Kent, whilst
leaning out of a railway carriage window in the rear part of a train.
A curve was being rounded just at the moment the snap-shot was taken,
and in the distance the locomotives may be seen just about to pass
over one of the newly built granite bridges in Cornwall. Owing to the
hilly nature of the country, all the main line trains are drawn by two
engines. Mr. Ford says that they were travelling at the rate of about
thirty miles when he took the photograph.
