on the money and securities. After effect
ing an entrance 10 the bank building the
robbers drilled the door OF the vault and
charged Il with nitro glycerine The ex-

and badly damaged the door. The win
dows in the building were blown out and
some other damage done.

Although nitro glycerine was used and
the concussion must have been terrific,

Paper Negatives.

The use OF bromide paper for the direct
production OF the negatives ls one which
recommends itself to the amateur for
various reasons Prints made with such
negatives are sharper than might be sup
posed The lines are softened and many
small details are suppressed. while the
paper gives a slight grain to the print
While I'm many cases this would be n dis
advantage for landscapes or portraits and
such subjects not requiring great sharp
ness Il answers very well especially for
the larger sizes from five by seven inches
and upward; I'm the larger prints the

of the image I'm many cases adds To the
effect.
This Is especially so IN the case ~ a
