"Refners OF nitrate Of silver for the

gagged in this line OF business in New
York to a reporter recently, have
agents travelling constantly all over
the United States collecting the waste
clippings of sensltized paper that ac-
cumulate in every Photographic gal
lery. They buy all they can fud and pay
for it in new nitrate, allowing the pho
tographers good round price for their
waste.

where the nitrate ii the paper Is sepa-
rated from it by chemical processes
and prepared for market again. This
re-refined nitrate Is as good as it was
originally, and is solo for just as much.
The refiners. Of course, make big
profit out Of the waste, and the photo
grapher Is able to get good supply
OF material for the old scraps that
would otherwise be Of no use to him.
when one thinks of the great num-
her of photograph galleries and studios
in the country, and the fact that the
waste paper Of them all Is closely
gathered by the refiners at price that
will average 81 a pound, he may get
some idea of the proportion of busl-
ness that is utterly unknown outside
~ the persons directly interested in
the trade. Not only the scraps or sill
yer sensitized papers, but those OF the
naner treated with a solution of gold,
are eagerly sought by the refiners, and
the photographer is always very will
ing to exchange his accumulation OF,
to him, worthless waste for new
stock of valuable nitrate"

BUILD BALCONIES
A Good Suggestion t. Ownsrs Of Apars'

A Good Suggestion t. Ownsrs OF Apars'
mont Houses.
Why are not all apartment houses
furnished with balconies? A man that
owns or rents a house can sit on tho
doorstep and enjoy the cool OF the
evening; but what boon a balcony
would be to those that are now stifled
In flats.
The poets are with you. When Tom
Clinch rode stately through London
streets to be hanged,
The maids to the doors and balconies
ran,
And said, Lack-a-day! he's proper
young man.
The loving wife Of Mr.. John Gilpin
spied him from q balcony. Byron
compared Venetian danes "leaning
over the balcony" to Venuses OF Titan.
There are instances galore. 0 balco-
MES, guitars, serenades, the fall OF a
handkerchief or rose, stock incidents
OF operetta! And it is indeed a Joy to
smoke peacefully thus suspended In
air after sundown, dropping matches
or tobacco ash on those passing under.
Then the close presence OF the adored
one in the dusk; with murmurous
conversation, with the sense OF isola-
ton!
But there are coarse, prosaic men In
petty authority who look askew at bal
comics save for purposes OF revenue.
Thus at Munster in Westphalia the
town council has decided to put tax
on balconies-$50 for those which pro-
ject beyond the walls, and $3.50 for
those that are less ambitious. "The
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
q spirit Of criticism, and tendency to
impractical flirtation." This sounds
as though 1t came from the Connecti-
cut of earlier years. But our friend
the Classical Scholars assures us that
the owner Of the first Jalcony built In
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten
ants. "Maenius," Roman citizen. let
his house to the censors, Cato and
Flaccus. He then built out balcony
and came into personal residence there,
In order to keep an eye on them"

Santiago rum and fresh cocoanut milk
I never have been able to get fresh
cocoanut milk here, and l suppose that
those who do not go to a cocoanut
country can never know the delights
OF this mixture. The milk when fresh
Is almost as colorless as water, and
when little rum Is added to the COM

the latter is very popular drink all

dangerous, and one Is very much bet

American port where I used to call

mouth straight. A large proportion
Of the population was French, and
every afternoon the men and women
would drive out to the roadside cafes
and sip vermouth. 1t was served in a
tall thin glass which was half filled
