simply in keeping with an institution
supported by the State. The carpet
in the Dr's Office struck us as being
too luxurious for a State whose
people are struggling to pay the

A PARTISAN has discovered the art of
taking colors in photographs. The
negative is developed in the ordinary
way and then positive is printed on
sensitized paper or gelatine film, pre-
viously treated with secret prepara-
ton. The positive is washed over with
blue, green and red solutions and takes
up at once the color in the parts which
were presented before the camera.
Thus in landscape the trees take
various hues of green, the sky becomes
blue, the flowers show their proper
colors and in portraits the flesh tints
come out well and the colors of the
costume are accurately given.
