COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
Illustrated Lecture on This Subject
Given Last Night.


Louis Allen Osborne, of the Inter-
national Correspondence School, gave a
most interesting and instructive lee
ture on the McDonough process Of
color photography last night, hefcre
a very large audience IN the board of
trade assembly room. This was the
first practical demonstration OF this
art that has ever been given in this
city,
The method of taking the photo
graphs is very simple. Three screens
colored red, blue and green respective
ly are placed In front of the plate
when the picture is taken and then
again between the light and the plate
when the picture is printed. The pa
per on which the pictures are printed
is ruled off with innumerable lines
and by come means, unknown to the
ordinary layman, the true colors of
nature are imprinted on this paper.
The viows shown by Mr.. Osborne OH
tho screen We're marvellously true to
nature. The wonderful colorings of
flowers and the gorgeous shadings in
the heavens when the sun sets in the
summer were all shown in their real
colorS.
Perhaps the most effective picture
was one showing New England for
est on an Autumn day, The colorings
on the trees, the different shades of
green in the grass and the peculiar
color OF the dust on the road were
there palmer and truer to nature than
ever artist painted. Another picture
that was lfe-like was one of box
Of candy. There were several kinds OF
chocolate CONNECTIONS in this and they
were ali of different shades of brown

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM.
This One Was Sent in from Box 13
Early This Morning.

Another of the false alarms, which
have been turned in of late, with such
startling frequency, was rung at 1920
o'clock this morning from box 13, at
Penn avenue and Mulberry street.
All of the central city fire companies
responded, and accompanied by Lieu
tenant Davis and Patrolmen Saltry and
Connery, made a diligent search for
the fire. No vestige of one was found,
and for awhile the air was blue with
curses loud but deep. 1t will be a
sorry day for the man with the pen
chant for turning in false alarms when
he is apprehended by the police.

wheels.
The incident caused considerable
excitement, and but for the expert
horsemanship of Mr.. Williams a more
serious accident would undoubtedly
have occurred.
