Photography Without Dark Room.
The continued experiments of Prof
F. E. Nipher of st. Louis with posi-
tive photography" have produced some
very interesting results. He SAYS that
the plates may be separately wrapped
in black paper at night, or in a dark
room, and all the remaining work can
be done in the light. A plate is taken
from its wrapper in the light and
placed in the slide holder, and an ex
posure-a long one-is made. After ex-
posture the plate is taken out in the
light again, and placed in the deyelop-
ing bath, and the picture is developed
and may be fixed, in the light. The re-
suit is a positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While it is desirable To
shield the plate from the light as much
as possible during the changes. vet
Professor Nipher says, all OF the op-
erations may be carried on without
any darkroom conyeniences that may
not be secured even In the open fields.
