PHOTOGRAPHS IN C0LORs.

a Process That Has Been Developed by
Philade1phian-
The process of color photography. by
which all the colors of the rainbow are Te-
produced by the camera, has been for years
engaging the attention of the inventor,
Frederick f. Ives, and has finally been
brought by him to most successful pass.
AS yet, however, Mr.. Ives has confined him
self to that branch of the art which applies
to the projection Of color photographs on
lantern slides, and here he has been IN
usually successful.
The process consists IN first making three
photographs to represent the effect Of the
object photographed upon three fundamen-
tai color sensations in accordance with the
theory o. color vision now accepted by sci
entists.
The three negatives are made from the
same point of view and by simultaneous
and equal exposure on single sensitive
plate an operation both simple and mex
pensiYe.
The lantern positives are then projected
upon q screen either by superpositi0n or in
transparent gelatine prints by means of
triple magic lantern.
In one Of the three photographs the green
of the landscape is brought out lighter than
in the others, in another the blue is made
lighter, and in the last the red color. A
strong green light Is then thrown upon the
aforementioned photograph, a violent blue
light on the second, and red on the third,
and the whole is thrown upon the screen In
a single picture, in exact imitation of the
original
Mr.. Ives has been working on his process
for many years, and hopes in the near fu-
ture to bring his invention to such per-
lection as to reproduce in their original
cOlors any subject in nature, and to produce
photographs similar TO the colOrless
ones now on the market. He has experienced
considerable difficulty, however, in the per-
lection of this branch thus far, because of
several fundamental principles almost insur-
mountable. The process would also re-
Quire too much time ana money, as far as he
can see at present, to make it OF any mar
ketable value.
He has, however, succeeded in making
several window tralsparencies in color,
with which he is much pleased.-Philadel-
