Bottles in the dark room should al
ways be kept in the same place. They
can then be taken down in the dark
at q moments notice.
When pouring from bottle always
hold the bottle so that the label Is on
the upper side of the bottle. II this II
not done the writing on the label will
quickly become illegible, owing to the
dribblings of the liquid down the
side.
When using colorless solutions and
clear glass bottles, write the formula
of the solution on the gummed side OF
the label. Then carefully affix 1t to
the bottle. This can always be read
through the liquid, and the writing
never becomes effaced.
Toning by gaslight is seldom salts
factory. Colors are different, and the
difference between such prints as
those toned by daylight is very marked.
When toning by daylight care must
be taken that the prints are not ex-
posed to q strong light, and the tray
should be kept covered during the time
the prints are at rest.
