The work of LippmGn and Lumiere has

The color work of Jolly and Mcdonald,
while extremely interesting and cOmpara-

tion, was nevertheless dependent upon
backing of a transparent substance ruled
with the three primary colors before the
sensation of color could be conveyed. and
this process could hardly be classed as
color photography.
By the Ives process and the Sanger
Shepherd process the greatest utility of
color photography at the present time
has been realized. In this process three
negatives are made each through color

INTERESTING CHIT m WARRINGTON CAMERA ORCLEC

1t is to be hoped that upon the compile
tion of the new home for manual train
ing in this city some attention will
be paid to giving instruction in photogra-
ply. The study of this art could be COM
bined with the study Of physics and chem
istry in such a manner that each study
would be made far more attractive by its
relation to the other studies. and as the
present superintendent of manual train
ing, Mr.. John A. Chamberlain, is some
what accustomed to the use of the camera
there is opportunity for testing the value
of the camera as an educational factor,
and a possibility that It may be taught
in the school as a useful art in which all
might be benefited by some knowledge
obtained at school to be applied in later
years as means of livelihood.
The lecture before the Audubon Society
on Tuesday night by Francis Hobart Her
rick amply illustrated the great help that
photography has given to the study of
wild birds and animals. Judging from the
Photographic results obtained by Mr..
Herrick he combines with his other at
tainments not only vast amount of
knowledge of the technique of photogra-
ply. but an inexhaustible stock of pa
tience.
Many of Mr.. Herrick's studies Of birds
are made from a small portable tent
which he locates near the nest of the
The Washington times., 1902-03-16

time? There is good money in making
and preserving negatives of Washington
homes. and If the camerist will only
wait little while he will find that such
negatives become more and more valuable
as the years go by.
AS an instance of the demand for photo
graphic plates in this country. it is
worthy OF notice that the house OF Lu-
miere of France has purchased large
tract OF land near Burlington, Vt, for
the purpose OF erecting a large factory
for the manufacture of Photographic
plates in-this country. This is an in
genious method of bringing foreign plato
into brisk competition with an American
per cent charged upon Photographic plates
of foreign make. AS the glass upon which
the Photographic emulsion IS coated is
imported, the manufacturers will have to
pay duty ranging from 17s to 17s cents
per pound on the glass used.
1t seems strange that it should be
necessary to import such a common ar
ticle as glass for the manufacture Of
Photographic plates, but the fact remains
that il is much cheaper to do so than
to use the American product, for five dol
lars invested in glass made in Belgium
Will purchase as much glass of the grade
needed as eight dollars invested in Ameri-
can glass; quite o neat saving to the

birds whose habits he desires to study,
and in this tent with his camera in readi-
ness and focused upon the nest the nat
uralist waits until the proper position is
assumed by the birds and the exposure
can be made.
The lens used for this work by Mr..
Herrick is selected with reference to its
focal length when considered with the dis
stance between the camera and the nest.
Two of his lenses are we'll known to anna
teurs the Zeiss Anastigmat Series ii 4 and
the Convertible Anstigmat Series vii a.
The greatest difficulty in the selection
of apparatus for this work is in finding
shutter that is rapid enough to secure
the picture without showing the movement
of the birds photographed. and also noise
less or SO nearly so that the birds will not
be frightened away before the series OF
views can be completed.
The lecture hall of Columbian Uni
versity was far too small to accommodate
those who attended the lecture. all the
seating capacity and standing room was
occupied, and many were unable to gain
admission to the hall. Mr.. HerrIek Illus

TIME removal OF Foundry Methodist
Episcopal Church calls to mind the
i changes which are constantly oc-
curing in this city-change5 that
without the aid of photography it would
be difficult to record. Some of the mem
bers of the Camera Club have made sew
eral negatives of the exterior and Interior
of this old landmark, in order that the
associations OF the past might be pre-
served by these records.
II is astonishing how very few mega
tiyes are made of the historic buildings OF
negatives can be obtained when the de-
maod for them arises. Some two years
ago the Camera Club. in the preparation

found it very difficult to secure suitable
negatives of the David Burns cottage, the
Blaine residence on Lafayette Square, and
of some other buildings which had been
removed within a very few years.
Doubtless many negatives had been
made of these places before they were
torn down, but TO find the negatives when
wanted seemed to be next to impossible.

lied as lantern slides and correct colors

The value of the camera as an educator
is being thoroughly tested in one of the
grammar schools in Boston. In this
school it has been tested in connection
with the study of civil government and
nature study, and the additional interest
shown by the pupils when photography
has been used as help, has proven the
wisdom of the experiment.
The plan seems to be that each child
shall have a camera; that the negatives
shall be exposed during the noon recess,
and the developing and printing done at the
schoolhouse after school. While this plan
must bring added labor to both pupil and
teacher the recompense of greater inter
est and more rapid progress will no doubt
fully compensate for the additional trou-
BILE.

TIME twelfth annual exhibition of the
Society of Washington Artists will
L open tomorrow in the hemicyclc
of the Coreoran Gallery CT Art. As
those who were fortunate enough to at
tend the private view last night will
know, the show is by far the finest
that cur Washington painters have ever
offered to the .p1blic.
This remark has been made about prac-
tically all the recent exhibits the society
has held, so that the unobseryant hearer
may have judged that it was merely the
complimentary thing to say about every
exhibit. To the art lovers here in Wash
ington who take some pride in our local
exhibitions. however. and who have care
fully studied the various exhibitions, this
will prove an actual fact, greatly to the
credit of Washington painters, instead of
complimentary platitude.
Standard Steadily Raised.
Ever since the society began holding
its exhibitions in the Corcoran, and show
ing, with the local work, that of out-of-
town artists, the standard of their show
has been steadily raised, until now it is
veritabe American salon.
The best work of our Washington paint
ers compares very favorably with tie
work shown at the New York and Other
great art exhibitions, and when to these
pictures are added the choicest of those
shown at the big exhibits the resulting
collection cannot but stand on equal foot
ing with any in the country.
Few Pictures Hung.
This years show is not large one, only
fifty or sixty pictures being hung. and
of these quite number from out of town
contributors. With the idea in mind to
have but a small exhibition, which should
contain nothing but the choicest, the jury
has shown admirable judgment, and the
pictures from Washington artists are re-
markabIy well chosen.
Not a single picture is there on the
line which is not worthy of place in any
exhibition in the country, and-inestim-
able advantage of a small exhibition-ev-
cry picture is on the line. If a picture
IS worth hanging at all it is worth hang
ing well. And this policy will do as much
as any one thing TO give our exhibition
its proper rank as a national instead OF
a local affair.

aginative in its treatment.
To the art student and to the old and
experienced painter alike, Alfred H.
Maurer's "An Arrangement" will prove a
revelation. Seen from a distance it has
all the appearance of a careful realistic
study, but if one examine it at all closely
it will be found to have been painted
with more broadness and freedom than
any other picture in the gallery. 1t was
this picture which was awarded the medal
at the Carnegie Institute last year. Other
interesting portraits are those by Harold
Macdonald. Prince Troubetzkoy, and
Thomas Eakins.
Genre and Figure Pictures.
The genre and figure pictures are not
numerous, Kenyon Cox's classical "An-
nunciation" being the most notable This
is so soft in coloring that. although it is
high keyed, it loses most OF it's charm by
being near more striking pictures.

ring note to many. Mrs. Barney's Me

her accustomed vigor and freedom, but

clients clothed their goddess.

are represented by landscapes. The jury

Customs duties are somewhat amusing
when We apply them to some phases OF
photography. II you purchase an Ameri-
can plate and take it with you into Can
ada, you must pay duty to the Canadian
Government. This duty is returnable TO
you upon convincing the Canadian Gus
toms officials that you are taking home
with you the articles upon which you
have paid duty upon entering Canada.
So far things seem about even, but on
your return to this country you are
obliged to pay q duty of 45 per cent. on
your American plates upon the theory
that they have been improved abroad.
When we consider the many failures that
the amateur usually brings home with
him after an outing Of this kind it seems
at times as though We are paying fancy
prices upon alleged improvements.
The question is frequently asked, when
will we be able to photograph in colors?"
This is one of the questions that is much
easier asked than answered. Color photog-
raphy Is, however. an accomplished fact,
although the present results are not in
the form that we usually expect photo
graphs to be presented in. At the pres
ent time, although much has been accom-

A Wonderful Picture.
Add to these pictures "sita and sarita."
Cecilia Beaux's wonderful picture of a
woman with black cat; pictures by
ChiIde Hassam, Kenyon Cox, Bolton
Jones, and c. II. Davis, and the exhibit
tion becomes truly a great national one,
in which the work OF our local artists is
more prominent by reason of its artistic
charm than by mere superiority Of num-
bers.
This great success is due to the inde-
fatigable efforts of the officers and execu-
tive committee of the society. and es-
pecially TO Mr.. Brooke. who personally
secured the majority of the out-cf- town
exhibits. And every art lover in Wash
ington should be grateful 10 them for this
opportunity to see how well our own work
compares with the best.
Tasteful Hanging.
AS one enters the gallery one is i'm
pressed with the tasteful hanging of
the pictures. While we are all in
terested in the work of our sculp-
tors. they are so few in number that their
work, quite undeservedly, appears insig-
nifcant when shown with SO many paint
ings and we think the management should
receive quite as much commendation as
blame for emitting the sculpture.
For their aim should be, above all, TO
have the exhibition, as whole, harmoni-
Gus. In this they have succeeded admir-
ably. and as result each picture in the
room can be seen well, in as good light
as is possible in the Hemicycle, and. with
few exceptions, neighboring

Place Of Honor.
The place of honor has been given to
Irving r. WiIes' life-size portrait of Miss
Julia Marlowe. Painted with a freedom
and simplicity OF technique, and yet with
remarkable realism. Miss Marlowe. a
very beautiful and modern brunette, leans
forward on the setteA on which she is
seated and looks right out of the canvas
at the observer. She is gowned in white
satin, trimmed Just enough to relieve
the severity, a single rose in her bosom,
and Just suggestion OF the CLEAN of gold
and jewels at her belt and about her come
ly arms.
Last year this artists portrait of his
father and mother took the "Corcoran
Gallery first prize" His picture this
year is not so subtle in its feeling as
last years prize winner, the realism in
it rendering entirely unnecessary the use
OF the imaginative faculty of the observ-
er. In just so much is this picture of
Mss Marlowe less artistic than his
former one of his parents. 1t is, none
the less, a great picture, and an honor
TO the exhibition.
Spencer B. Nichols Work.
Spencer B. Nichols shows a portrait of
his brother. 1t is a large canvas, and,
though unobtrusive in color, one of the
most striking portraits. 1t is a three
quarter length figure. standing in an
easy pose. in a room, evidently studio
from it's furnishings, dimly lighted by a
small curtained window, against which
the figure is in dark relief. For graceful
composition and low, pleasing coloring, it
is without a peer in the gallery.
