COLOR PHOTOGRAPHIC

Science for January 80 has an ac-
count of the process of color photog.
raphy recently patented by Mr.. Muey
of Lexington, Va Negatives are pre-
pared by the tri-color process using
three sensitized plates and three
screens, red, green and violet. For
the red screen an orthochromatic plate
flowed with syanin solution is used;
tor the green screen a plain gelatin
bromide plate. There are thus oh.
tanned three negatives varying in den.
sity in the different areas according
to the color values of the three pri.
mary colors in the CORRESPONDENT
areas of the object taken.
Prints are made from these neea
tives by the use of bichromatized CELIA
tine pigment paper (carhon tissuel
The pigment papers are red. yellow
and blue, The blue paper is printed
from the red seen negative. and the
yellow paper from a violet screea

My dear, you do not know some OF
the awful secrets of the back hair OF
the late past There were waterfalls
and "chignons," made up in styles toe
elaborate and symmetrical for ordt
nary hands to fashion, and these pieces
were exposed for sale in boxes, which
they filed. Sometimes an imitation
of hair, which deceived no one who
had ever seen jute, was maze I'D in
the above-described way, and artfully
covered with a net. Good people &C.
copied these basely false devices
and they were worn with results which
could not be observed with gravity to-
day. But, then, they were pinned on
in good faith, and their saggng
weight was no bar to social advance
ment Fashion cared not if these
cushion-like appendages heated the
head and pulled viciously at the roots
of the living hair beneath, but we
should be very grateful that they have
gone, as DR.. Holmes says, down the
back entry of time" And are fortu-
nate again not to be living in the age
of the old-time hustle; in the evolution
of dress it succeeded the hoopskirt,
and running contrariwise to the prin-
ciples of evolution, was more sense
less development. The restricted
hoop" whose circumference bore al.
most no relation to the very old.
fashioned one, may have one good
word spoken for it; to wit, that it per-
mitted one to walk in windy weather
without getting tangled in her skirts
climbing into high Garage was alto
gether another problem in geometry.
The hoopskirt was sometimes more
elegantly termed a Skeleton" and
punsters considered it one of the most
sparkling of jokes, TO speak of "a
skeleton in every closet" But the
hustle, the climax of bustles, which
ran from the waist to the heels, and
was made after the fashion of a gigan-
tic jack-in-the-box, so far as springing
properties were concerned, and gave a
shape that would make a camel blush
oh, why did women consent to be so
ridiculously put upon by Dame Fa-
shion? Why do they now, for that
matter? In the lifetime of pair of
sleeves how often do we change them
to keep up with the racing fashions?
If women would get up club for the
suppression of the vice of changing
sleeves and skirts so often, it would
be the most purely phi,anthropic move
