PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVELOPER,

One bad feature of metol is that it is
prone to poison the skin.
Some photographers prophesy that
the coming developer is imogen.
Hydroquinone should never be used
alone, and too much should not be add
ed to metol.
Pyro-soda is an excellent developer
for plates that have been properly ex-
posed. From them it will produce soft,
rich negatives of fine printing quality.
Probably the cheapest developer on
the market. says the Philadelphia
Press, is rodinal, which is fairly good
developer. 1t is used in one solution
and can be worked on developing pa
per as we'll as plates.
Eikonogen is good developer which
is considerably used nowadays, more
frequently in combination with hydro
quinone than alone. 1t is rather mild
developer. giving negatives of extreme
softnesS. and with bue-black tint.
One of the most opular of the newer
developers is amiGol. which is in vogue
both for Plates and developing paper.
On the latter it gives good tones, but
they are blue-black instead of pure
| black.
Nowadays metol is seldom used
alone. The usual method is to com bine
it with hydroquinone. Hydroquinone
is a rather harsh developer. whose
great speciality is the giving of density
rather than detail so that it is a very
good blend for metol, whose weak
points it makes good.
The original developer was pyro,
which means Il developer in which the
agent was pNrogallic acid. This is a
good developer. but stains the hands
and sometimes the negatives as well.
The old school photographers all use
pyro, which is usually used in two So
buttons. and claim that the negative
can be kept in more perfect control
with it than with any other developer.

PHILLIPS COMPANY FAILS
Commission House in the Hands OF
a Receiver.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-On the petition
of three creditors OF the George II.
Phillips company petition IN pank-
rupcy has been filed for the company
in the United States district court.
George II. Phillips and two other d.
rectors of the company filed their
consent that the petition be allowed,
and the Chicago Title and Trust com
pany has been appointed temporary
receiver.
The filing of the petition and the
appointment of the receiver Will en-
able the company to continue IN busl-
ness.
One of the directors, w. X. Sack
EFT, will be appointed by the receiver
to manage the business and the at
fairs of the company will proceed
under the new management.
BY Mr.. Phillips own statement the
company is insolvent. The liabilities
he places at about 100000, with as
sets at known and face value amount
ing to $225,O00 or $s'5o,0OO. OF this he
believes 100000 is in worthless ac-
counts. so that the company will fall
short approximately of 100000 in
the settlement.
This, Mr.. Phillips declares, he will
make up to his creditors to the last
cent. He says that he has lost or
given up all of his money and reai
estate, but that, accepting the offers
of financial assistance, he will resume
business individually. Voluntarily,
he proposes to give for the benefit
of the creditors every dollar of profit
he makes in his transactions over
and above $4,000 Il year, which he
will keep for himself and family.

master at Marshalltown, charged
with defaulting $500 of the postal
funds in that city, is a fugitive, and
it is desired that he be taken into

Inspector Ketchum checked up the
office and found it short a little over
$500. Postmaster Saint was notified
of the discovery and made tho
amount good to the government. The
Inspector reported that indications
pointed to the guilt of Kruskopf, but
that Chief Clerk Hawley was impli-
Gated by the records. Ketchum
placed Hawley and Kruskopf under
arrest, but as Kruskopf wanted to
make an effort to make the amount
good to Postmaster Saint, he was
allowed to 60, on his promise to be
at the Great Western depot to take
a morning train to Des Moines. 1t
was the intention to charge him with
the embezzlement and to bring Haw-
ley here that he might give his testi-

kopf failed to show up and Ketchum
reported that he had absconded.
