that the plates should be viewed at a GER
tain angle
After repeated attempts the Messrs. Lu-
m!ere sought to carry out the discoveries
of Ducos de Hauron with single photo
graphic plate containing within itself the
three Complementary screens. In 1904 they
reported their discovery to the Academy
of Science. and recently they gave public
demonstration of the process
The manipulations Of this new plate are
more difficult than with the old style
and in from fifteen to twenty minutes the
negative Is developed. fixed and dried. By
this process evident colors are obtained and
the most delicate shades are reproduced as
exactly as are the differences of light and
shade on ordinary plates. There is. more
over, no halation: there is no difficulty in
photographng the splendors of the sunset

Artistic Views Of Nature.
Messrs A and l.. Lumiere recently dem
onstrated in public the results they have
attained in the realm of photography in
colors and explained their process. One
by one to the astonshed eyes of the spec
tators were shown southern landscapes
bathed in sunlight: northern scenes. with
foggy skies: village twilight ristas full of
languor and mystery; hothouses with multi
colored flowers. and photo-micrograph s Of
stained bacteria. These served to show
the large part that imagination plays in
artistic views of nature. With this new
process it is not possible to put blue or
red where it is not in nature. as certain i'm
pressionst artists apt to do.
Auguste Lumiere gave an account of all
phases through which the evolution of pho
Biography III colors has passed during fifty
years. and explained his present process.
1t Is founded on the one hand upon the
fact that the three fundamental colors red
yellow and blue. will give all the shades
and tints of Mature when they are appro-
pr!ately blended. and, on the other hand,
the fact that the rays of much of these
three colors are neutralized by screens OF
their complimentary colors. Red rays, for
instance, cannot pass through green
screen. green being a color Complementary
to red. Yellow rays are stopped by violet
screens. violet being the complementary

The labors Of previous scientists had shown
that the infinite variety of colors In nature
could be reproduced by simply blending in
various proportions the three fundamental
colors. red. yellow and blue. Consequently
all that was necessary was to obtain of the
same object three negatives, of which each
should represent one of the funda-
mental colors to the exclusion of the two
others. and then to superpose the three
prints from these negatives in order to re-
produce the color of the original. 1t was a
simple enough matter to obtain these three
monocolored negatives All that was nee
essary was to interpose between the sens
tive plate and the subject screens colored
with the Complementary tints of red. yellow
and blue-that is to say, colored green. vio-
let and orange, orthochromatic plates being
used whose sensitireness is enhanced each
one by the colors of the screel To obtain
red, for example green screen was inter-
posed. absorbing the red rays. The red
parts the subject then appear white on
the negative. Thereupon three positive
prints were made upon gelatin films

would alone affect this bichromatic gela-
tin. and simply washing In warm water
would produce three monochromatic trans

process because the I.umiere brothers set
ont with this principle In order to reach
more practical and satisfactory results.
rhe trichromaic process demands tedious
manipulations and prolonged exposures be-
cause OF the interposition of the colored
screens. The photogra phing of living sub
iects is impossible. The least inaccuracy
Ia any OF the operations impairs the result.
No More Difficult.
Many attempts have been made to do away
with these three colored screens and the
necessarily complicated process In 1891
Gabriel Lippmann, professor of the College
of the Sorbonne. succeeded without the
colored screens. in obtaining the colors of

through screens Of orange, which is COM
Elementary to the color of blue.
Messrs. Lumiere reasoned that it would
be possible to make infinitely minute and
Infinitely numerous screens with which a
glass plate could be covered. and which
would sift the colors OF objects seen
through 1t. They selected for this purpose
granules Of potato starch not more than
l5-1 600 millimeter in diameter. which they
separated by a delicate process from the
larger or smaller granules with which they
are mixed. These granules were divided
into three parts-the first, stained green.
being the Complementary of red; the sec
ond. stained violet. or Complementary Of
yellow. and the third, stained orange, or
Complementary Of blue.
This was very difficult. because starch Is
not readily stained. and when stained the
coors are apt to fade in the light These
coiored granules were mixed in equal pro-
portions and spread with soft brush over
glass plate coated with an adhesive
film. The starch coating was then sub
jected TO pressure, so that the granuies
should touch one another as evenly as pos
sible; this needed enormous pressure. which
had to be applied without breaking the

The result was screen of which each
square millmeter contained eight to nine
thousand little elementary screens coored
in orange. green and violet The plate
thus prepared when held up to the light
seemed to be coloriess because of the mix
ture of the three elementary colors or of
the three complementary colors producing
a white light. This colorless plate Is. how
ever, susceptible of furnishing visual inn
preston of colors if certain of its compo-
nent tints are masked. For example the
orange elements being masked. the light
passing through the remaining green and
violet particles would produce the effect of

green particles are masked. the light pass
ing through the orange and violet granules
would give the appearance of red. which is

were present.

and Solicitor d. V. Summerill, Jr., of

and asked for an extension of time to
July 1, 1908.
Major Flagler had a short hand re-
port of the hearing taken and will
report it to the War Department. He
stated that if the War Department had
been consulted such a bridge would
never been allowed and that the ex-
tension of time would probably be
allowed on account Of the county fin.

Baltimore Markets. There was a good
attendance; about go gave there names
and number OF acres they wished to plant
About 400 acres were taken.
No price was set for the tomatoes, but
the market price was agreed upon. This
market has been running for five years,
fair and satisfactory prices have always
been paid.
Also at the same time and place, ar
r~angements were made for about 100 acres
of strawberries and a market Tor the
same.
Captain Wright promised a daily mar
ket for their berries to Philadelphia, or
whatever market proves the best Tor the
growers and they will prepare for the
coming berry crop.
The berries and tomatoes will both be
run from George Biddle's Landing.
