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


"RetDers 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-
tized paper that accumulate In every photo

pay for it In new nitrate, allowing the photop-
rapher good round price for his waste The
waste is shipped TO the refiners. where the nj
trate in the paper is separated from il by che,ni
cal processes, and prepared for market again.
This re-retned nitrate Is as good as IL was
originally. ana is sold for just as much. The
refners, of course, make big profit out OF the
waste, and the photographer is able to get
good supply OF material for the scraps that
would otherwise be of no use to him.
'Wben one thinks OF the great number OF pho
