ing media are used in their production, they are
remarkably successful efforts in this new field
OF photography. All sorts Of views are repro
duced, and the most minute variations in color
are indicated in the completed photograph. Tho
color Of the flesh, varying shades OF foliage, and
the colors of jewels or metals are distinctly
shown.
The Villedicu Chassagne process by which
these photographs are made Is the development
OF one suggested first by DIR. Adrian Dansac, and
1t was first revealed last winter. 1t then at

and tho process is at present regarded rs the one
that has long been sought for-that is, it makes
q photograph which possesses the colors OF tho
original object. A plate that has been submitted
to a certain treatment is used, and after that
the exposure and development are accomplished
in the same way that they are when an ordi-
