COIOfsd Photography a lawrence.

The Lumiere process of colored
photography brought from France
BY Robert Kennedy Duncan,
head of the department of indus
trial chemistry in the University
of Kansas. and demonstrated be.
fore the chemical club has attract.
ed the attention of photographers
and chemists all over the state.
Before the present season the
plates had been no further west
than New York where experiments
we're made during the summer.
The Luniere plates were
brought in Paris where the pro-
cess was inveLted and pictures
we're taken Of local scenery and
other objects. The plates are to
the ordinary observer very SINH
lar to the ones used in cameras for
usual pictures. They cost twenty
i've cents in France and can be
used IN an ordinary camera. The
make ~ of the Lumeire plate is
different from the ordinary plate
10 that between the glass and the
sensitive emulsion of silver bro.
mides are placed starch granules,
These starch grauIes are first dyed
orange green and violet and mixed
Next they are placed on the glass
in a single layer but they are so
fine that they are practically 10.
Vulnerable. Then the usual coat.
ing of sensitive emulsion is placed
over the starch.
Atpresent their is no naper from
what these colored plates can be
printed and in order to Sc cure the
proper effect. they have to he
thrown before the spectators on a
screen by means of a lantern. But
scientist are busy perfecting paper
that will preserve the collars so
successfully reproduced in this
new system on a single plate.
and IN a short time pictures with
the exact color of the objects
photographed will be reproduced
bv every one who has a camera.
The importance of the state
universities of the Middle West
in the educational affairs of the
country has been considerably
advanced recently through the
efforts of Chancellor Frank Strong
of tile State University. DR..
Strong attended the meeting in
Washington Of the National Asso
citation of the state Universities
held a short time ago. and at that
meeting read a paper on the
Standardization of State Univer-
sites" in which be advocated
that this class Of school should set
the standard..for tie country in.
stead of letting the private institu.
tions do it as they are now at
tempting to do. As a result of his
efforts the association took steps
to establish a system Of Standard
cation to be put into effect next
year.

MUSLIN WINDOWS NOW HERE.
Their Use in Dairy Barns May Help
to Prevent Tuberculosis.


The experiment Of using muslin cur.
tains in place of window glass, which
has proved so successful in poultry
houses all over the country, is now
being extended TO dairy barns.
The problem OF ventilation has long
been one which dairymen have found
difficult TO solve. says Suburban Life.
The new plan is the acme Of sim
pliclty. Several windows are removed
and replaced with frames over which
common muslin cloth has been slight.
ly stretched. ~ 54-fii
Experiments have shown that even
in the coolest weather the tempera-
ture of the stable is-lowercd only two
or three degrees byS the use of these
curtain windows while tho barns actu-
ally have seemed sery much warmer.
This result is duo 10. the fact that the
air is kept dry. gs].. }3tg.
Where this plan has been adopted
the cattle have shown less evidence
of suffering from the cold and the at
tendants have admitted that. the barns
have been more comfortable places in
which to work than when the glass
windows were in use. II Is the excess
of moisture in the air which causes
the feeling OF dampness and chill
which prevails in many dairy barns.
Although the outside air is able to
pass through the muslin 1T is almost
impossible for anyone standing three
feet away TO detect its entrance
II is possible that the Introduction
of a system of this kind will do much
to prevent the spread of tuberculosis
! among cattle. Poultrymen have found
| that whereas under the old system OF
using glass windows ard keeping the
( house as warm as possible fowls were
| frequently afflicted with colds and sim
! liar troubles, where the muslin cur
! tain system has been adopted the
f, birds are much more free from such
complaints, and It is expected by advo-
Gates of the new system that there
will be similar benefcent results In
the case of dairy cattle.

Cleaning COMMISSIONS" Walter
Benscb who accepted his job for
Two months has continued to make
radical changes in tine Work along
various nmcs of Improvement and
he says now he Is aiming at hav-
ing II clean city all the time. Night
wolk Ina, helped reyolutionize street
cleaning. SIX hundred cleaners are
at work every night and the ma
jollty Of the department men start
to work in the morning with the
streets pretty well cleaned. This
step counts for II very great deal.
Dr.. Beusel says, in making for
a clean city. The cleaners don't
have streets Uttered with waste
aud dirt when they begin in the
morning and tie work is moi so
arduous and difficult as before. But
so necessary is it to keep at work
and so fast does the dirt accumu-
late that corps of cleaners and
swpcpcrs has been established TO
watch for deposits of dirt in the
streets and pick them up as fast
as found. Three thousand heavy
canvas bags with metal lips have
been ordered TO" this work and 250
OF Them are being used on the
main thoroughfares. For the use
of the night workers and for the
department generally Mr., Bensel
has put in use "a dozen of the
flushing machines and fifty street
sweeping machines. Seventy-five
more will soon be used. Some
streets are practically cleaned
three times day by this method
Sweepers 90 first over street
with the machine. Then the flush
ing machine goes behind driving
all the dirt into the cutters and
catch-basins. The cleaners follow
I them and give the finishing touch
es. This night work has been found
SO effective ia maintaining clean
street that the scheme has been
oStended TO BROOKLYN.

the city hotels have, this season,
fitted up their hostellies into cool,
delightful summer abOdes. Most
attractive have some Of the hotels
been made with their airy palm
rooms, their parlors, assembly
rooms and restaurants turned into
gardens, their heavy carpets lifted
and furniture drapod in white linen
or replaced by light bamboo or
willow. This has been genuine
roOf-girden summer anyway, and
the Waldorf-Astoria, the Hotel AS
tor the Martinique, the Majestic and
other hotels so fortunate as to have
one of these airy resorts have made
IA mint Of money from them and
have been able, through their cool
pretty roof resorts, to keep many
of their guests in town all sum-
mer. Every hotel that has ver-
anda o. place, no matter how
small where meals could be served
has been patronized beyond the
widest hopes Of the management.
Besides the night crowds in the
WaldoIf-Asto1ia roof gardens the
summer restaurant and two palm
gardens Of this hotel have been
crowded all season The corner
restamant Of the Astor House has
been turned into a dainty, cool
garden with spIashing fountains.
palms and potted plants where light
refreshments are served.
Beginning today i; will be unlaw-
iul for any person to sell cocaine
or any of its almixtures except
upon the written prescription Of a

tion is to be filled only once. Also
under the new law, wholesalers
may supply the drug only to licens-
ed pharmacists or licensed drug

One of the most impressive sights

The artistic curves Of its huge cables

warrant their improvement and
utilization for municipal purposes. i.
