SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Though some imperfect tinted prints

true color photography Is yet to be re-
allied. Some have hoped for solution
OF the problem by the fading out
method. says Mr.. Sanger Shepherd the
old theory being that black mixture
OF fugitive red, blue and yellow pig
ments should give a direct positive
IN color. the light passing through the
red. and so on. The serious difficulties
are the lack OF knowledge OF the neces-
sary fugitive pigments and OF a means
OF fixing them. Some progress mas
been made by Herr Worel, who mas IN,

black by adding certain ethereal OILS
