THE FIRST IN THE SOUTH.
Colorrd Photographs Taken by Two
of Clcmson's Professors.
charleston News and Courier

charleston News and Courier
TWO members of the Clemson fac
ulty, Prof. F.. H. II. Calhoun, of the
geological department, and Assist
ant Professor %. II. Howard, of the
mechanical department, have sue
ceeded in producing photographs
showing the original colors of the
objects photographed
This has been accomplished by
means OF the Lumiere autochrom
plate. The process was discovered
about one year ago only by Lum-
iere, at Lyons, France, ynd the spe-
cially prepared films have been on
the market for about three months.
DR.. Calhoun and Prof. Howard are
among the very first in this country
TO try the process, their order for
plates being the SD. Out of eight
plates they succeeded in getting sew
en- excellent color photographs of
various scenes around the college.
and they arc naturally very proud
OF their success. They are doubt
less the first people in the South to
undertake the matter.
The film used in making these
color photographs is so made that
is contains coloring matter, which Is
affected by the various colors in the
picture to be taken. The plate Is
exposed as usual in photography,
except rather longer through ray
filter. Great care needs to be eXer-
cised to handle the plates in dull
red light.
They must be washed in nine solu-
tions, the first two in total dark
ness. The others take place in the
open daylight. The colors appear
Immediately upon taking the plates
into the light, but the remaining
processes are essential to the inten-
styling, clearing and fixing cf the
colors.
The newly discovered process, by
means OF which any scene may be
pictured In the original colors, seems
destined to revolutionize the art of
photography. .

A source of great regret to the

TO TRY POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Thought that This New Feature will
Help Finances of Country.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Special:
Senator Knox, OF Pennsylvania, has
introduced in the Senate a bill pro-
Viding for the establ,shmet of pos
tai savings banks. This bill has the
approval of Postmaster General
Meyer, and will have tho backing of
President Roosevelt and the admin
istration.
1t is designed to provide a safe
depository for the savings of the
people, and incidentally it is ex-
pected to WELD a large influence to-
wards the prevention "f financial
panics In the future. Under It's terms
the Postmaster General Is author
lied to designate certain post Offices
as postal savings banks. Deposits
Of from one dollar to five hundred
dollars will be received at these
banks, and the government will pay
interest at the rate of two por cent
1t Is provided tho. dopGait1 shall be
considered public moneys and sub
ject to the safeguards and prefer
ments provided by statute. This
Will guarantee absolute safety 20
these deposits. and in times of finan-
cial disturbance people who have
been In the habit of withdrawing
their money from the banks and
hcarding 1t In hiding place. are ex-
pected to deposit 1t with tho postal
savings banks.
The funds thus deposited with the
government will be redeposited In
national banks, and thus the money
will be kept In circulation. Banks
books are to be provided for depos-
itors and money can be withdrawn
at any time subject to regulations
made by the Postmaster General.
Had such a measure been In force
during the past six months it Is
believed that the financial pafic
through which the country has just
passed would have been averted.
Senator Knox has given this sub
ject careful study, and will exert his
influence to secure the passage Of
the bill at this session of Congress.
