VALUABLE WASTE.
How the Clippings of Sensitized
Photograph Paper Are Utilized.


"Refners Of nitrate OF silver for the use of
photographers" said one of this profession
have agents travelling constantly about the
country collecting the waste clippings OF sensi-
tiled paper that accumulate IN every photo
graph gallery. They buy all they can find, and
pay for 1t in new nitrate, allowing the pbotog-
rapher good round price for his waste The
waste is shipped to The refners. where the nj
trare in the pap-r is separated from il by chelni
cal processes, and prepared for market again.
This re-rehned nitrate Is as good as IL was
originally, ana is sold for just as much. The
refiners, of course, make big profit out OF the
waste. and the photographer is able TO get a
good supply OF material for the scraps that
would OF herwise be of no use to him.
''When one thinks OF the great number OF pho
tograph galleries and studios in the country,
and the fact that the waste paper of them all is
closely gathered by the refiners at a price that
Will average dollar pound, he may get some
IDEA OF the proportions OF pusin IS that is ut.
terly unknown outside OF the persons directly
interested. Not only the scraps of silver-sensi-
IiZed paper. but those Of the paper treated with
the solutions OF gold, are eagerly sought by the
refiners, and the photographer is always very
glad TO exchange his accumulation of to him
worthless waste for neat stock of valuable nj
rate"

London Globe.

passed away IN Mr.. Alexander Robertson of
DuDkeld, known locally as "Dundonnacbie,"

for removing the toll from the bridge over the
Tay at DunKeld on the ground that the Duke
of AthOle. who got the money, was not entitled
to IT, The military had 10 be called in 10 pro-
tect the toll bar, and "Dundonnachie" got sent
10 jail for the obsolete offense of '.murmurlng
judge" under an act which had not been en-.
forced for three centuries. Constant troodug
over his wrongs impaired his intellect, ana his
life has been spent in a vain endeavor to get bis
conviction cancelled
