FLASHLIGHT

Calculations-Th following notes are
abstracted from little pamphlet pub
lished by Herr Pettauer descriptive of
the use of a special fiashlight powder
made by Seib of Vienna, but they are
also generally applicable. The neces-
sary quantity of f1ashlight powder can
be calculated from the following for
mula, NIKE 2xV, in which M is the
quantity of powder required to give
a fully exposed negative when burnt
one yard from the sitter with lens
working at f-9, which may be consid-
cred as equal to two grains of pure
magnesium. E2 is the square of the
distance and V the ratio of exposure
for the stop used; thus, assuming that
the sitter is three yards from the light,
and file be used, the quantity of pure
magnesium required would be 2x3 TX
31-6, equal to 81 grains. Unless diff
fusing screen be used tho shadow cast
bv the sitter is always heavy, and the
two following simple rules are given
to avoid the too great prominence of
the same If the source of light is
placed lower than the highest point of
the sitter, then the background should
be placed nearer the object. If, on the
other hand, the source of light is
placed higher than the highest point
of the sitter, then the background
must be further away.

PRINTS
AND TRANSPARENCiES

Three-color prints on carbon tissue
E. Crills recommends the choice of the
following tissues: Yellow (Rotary
Co.'s) crimson (Rotary Co.'S, green
blue (Autotype Co.'S.
He suggests that the crimson tissue
would be better if it were a lighter
pink, since at present the color record
negatives have to be made very soft
in character, otherwise the subject gets
too much red.
AS a temporary support celluloid
sheets rubbed over with a solution of
spermaceti 20 grs. in benzole, 1 o.,
with a tuft of flannel proved salts
factory, and it was also found con-
venient and practicable to dry the tis-
sues after sensitising in methylated
spirit The tissues were first squee-
geed between a sandwich of blotting
paper, and then soaked in two changes
of methylated spirit for few minutes,
after which they are again blotted.
They then dry in about ten minutes
if placed in a warm cupboard near
fire. For this method the sensitizer
should be made rather stronger "a per
cent in stead of 8 per cent? as some
of the bichromate is removed by the
spirit. The ordinary mineralized spirit
will answer. The exposure ratios when
working in this way average: yell
low, 8; red, II; blue, 4.
After transferring to the celluloid the
prints are developed in water very lit
tie hotter than 100 degrees F., after
which the three may be put together
to Judge of the coloring. They are
then squeegeed in turn on to final
support of double transfer paper,
which should be first soaked for five
minutes in water at 80 degrees F. The
yellow print, applied first, adheres of
itself. the blue and red applied in this
order require per cent solution of
a hard gelatine in which the yellow
or blue-yellow print is soaked before
applying the next film.

experiments turpentine proved more
satisfactory. Colors from different
sources, however, act differently with
different sensitizers. Lately Arthur
Berger of Dresden has stated that he
has obtained the best results with a
mixture of three parts of alcohol and
one part of turpentine, vigorously
shaken up together in daylight
So long as only naner prints are re-
quired, the ethereal oil will suffice as
sensitzers; if, on the other hand ex-
posures in the camera are desired, the
mixtures are much too insensitive. A
sensitiveness about ten times greater
is obtained by mixing the dyes with
hydrogen peroxide, chloral and caustic
soda (see "R. J. Almanac" 1907 p.
S29, as suggested by the author. Yet
the sensitiveness of this mixture is not
sufficient for exposures in the camera.
-"Phot. Rund.," February, 1907, p. 20;
"B. J." Color SUPPLEMENT-, February
1, 1907, p. IA.
C. w. Czapek finds that it is suf
ficient to remove the sensitizer after
printing. This is effected by means of
the "Uto" fixing bath, or simply BEN
zole, which dissolves the anethol from
the film. With only ten minutes bath
ing with benZOle there was a reduction
of the sensitiveness such that on ex-
posure of an uncovered strip for ten
hours there was only faint bleaching
of the yellow. 1t is possible, by using
a colored screen in front of a transpar-
ency to obtain monochrome pictures on
a colored ground. The sensitiveness of
the glossy and matt papers is approx
mately the same. The results with the
glossy paper are far superior to the
matt; the latter always appears as
though covered with a ground glass.
and though in many cases it shows
truer colors they are always duller
than the glossy.

the purpose of projection in the stere-
optic lantern this method of making
slides in color Is vastly more faithful to
the subjects rendered and the natural
perspective is wonderfully reproduced
with these slides, as many who saw the
exhibitions held in Los Angeles some
months ago can testify. To the simple
kodaker the results attained bv some of
the more advanced workers may appear
far above their capabilities, but If they
will remember that all success is the.
result of gradual growth in knowledge

from one stage to another the transit
tion win seem very little compared to
the gap appearing between the firt step
and the present height. One of the
greatest helps in photography is found
in the willing hands offered to begin
ner in most camera clubs, and so many
mistakes can be avoided by asking ad-
vice of more experienced members and
comparing notes.. In the local camera
club there are many exceedingly clever
pictorial photographers and many just
starting to realize their possibilities
who have been stimulated by the many
contests and competitions that have
brought to the club walls some exam

GRIPPE

While IL is too early for comparative
statistics, grippe has clearly been very
prevalent the present winter, and dur
ing February in particular. 1t is about
twenty years since an epidemic of this
disease first made it's appearance. 1t
was more sweeping at it's first vista
ton than it has been since, yet it re-
mains one of the most formidable per-
lis to general health. Its worst effect
comes in undermining the system so
as to leave the body an easy prey to
more serious complaints. No doubt it
is better handled now than when its
symptoms were more strange, but 1t
still remains in the elusive class to a
considerable extent. both as to cause
and cure-Boston Transcript.

THE BLEAcH-ouT PROCESS

). "JJto" Paper.-Dr. r. Neuhauss, COM
merting on this paper, prepared by DR..
Smith of Zurich, says: The color is
almost black, the best proof that the
colors used are well selected. If this
paper is printed under colored trans
parency the colors are reproduced with
striking accuracy. The paper is, how
ever, very insensitive, which is caused
by the method of sensitizing. Ethereal
oils in this case anethol, do not give
anything like the sensitiveness of hy-
drogen peroxide. They have. however,
the advantage of giving preparations
that will keep and which require no
further treatment before exposure.
Anethol is an unpleasant addition, on
account of it's persistent smell. Worel.
who introduced it as a sensitizer, OBJ
tained the best results with this OF all

THE ART AND PASTIME
OF PHOTOGRAPHY
BY FREDERIC W. NORMAN,

Manager Camera Department, Pierce & Co
Never was the countryside looking
more picturesque and full of charm to
the artist and photographer. To the
latter the variety of color present
creates a different problem to that of
the colorist.
The ordinary plate or film is incap-
able of rendering images in natural
color and the best that can be done
even with special emulsions coated on
the plate or film is to render colors on
a scale more nearly registering their
tone values when reduced to medium
running from black to white. This is
done by dyeing the plates with special
chemicals which act as retardents to
the too active rays and the employment
of a Complementary filter before or be-
hind the lens so that in the final posi-
tive on paper the range of color will be
represented by the great variety of
shadings from almost clear blacks to
nearly white, and the better the render
ing naturally the more variety will
there be.
Within recent years enormous energy
and skill have been devoted to dis
covering some method of retaining on
the plate the actual colors of objects
as shown on the ground glass screen at
the back of plate cameras, and several
of the cleverest experimenters have
been so successful that it can be said
that photography in natural colors is
an accomplished fact and is placed
within reach of everyone who can do
his own developing. Two plates are
already on the market for this work,
the Autochrom (FTench) and the
Thames (English), and another is
mooted to be known as the Omnocolor,

SAVING SPOILED PRINTS

An amateur in the course of his ex-
perimenting with various developing
papers and developers, acquires, If he
is not of a destructive nature, a good
supply of prints that are all right with
the one exception of greenish or brown
ish tones. One such friend has a plan
whereby he turns them all into hand
some blue-black prints. He simply lays
them aside until the collection is of
some proportion, and then runs them
through a gold toning bath. large
bottle of the concentrated bath costs
him only so cents, and he saves few
dollars worth of prints by the simple
expedient.

A Kansas statute defining en-
bezzIement was printed with the
word estate" for Estate 1t pro-
ceded punishment for any estate,
county or city, officer who should
misappropriate the money intrusted
to his care. A lower court held that
as the word state" was not in the
statute it was not a crime in Kansas
for State officer to embezzle funds.
But the the Supreme Court Of the
State reverses that ruling. 1t holds
that the clear intent was to prohibit
and penalize dishonesty by State,
county and city officers, and that the
printing of the letter "e" before the
word state was simply an inconse-
quential error Of the printer.

Every day and hour his life stooC
out in bold relief a powerful re-
buke to sin, though there was al

the wayward sinner, and Indifferent
church member.
He will be missed by all the town.
The sound advice and good judge.
ment he was capable of ever giving
will be loss felt NEST deeply; but
the influence of his christian life will
continue to live and permeate the
lives of loved ones and friends, and
sWeeten the community's morals.
| He is not dead, but Liveth' and in
the years to come who can estimate
in true value the weight and deep
influence this man of God has left
in the world to work and produce
fruit in the lives of men and women,
by virture of his upright christian
life.
We can not refrain from saying
that when this writer came to Hall
fax about twenty years ago, Mr..
Grady was the first one to welcome
us, invite us to Sunday school, and
place book in our hands. Through
all the Intervening years he has
been a friend indeed. When sorrow
came, he gave sympathy; when
death removed our loved ones, he
was there to comfort; when shadows
fell across our path, he pointed to
the rift in the cloud, and helped us
to see the bright sunlight on the OF
her side. He gave us encourage
ment in more ways than one, and
helped to incite the best within US.
There are many other things which
this good man did, but space forbids
their mention here. Are they not
written in the Lambs Book of Life
to appear to his credit?

Quoted by his pastor, Rev. J. E.
Holden, who paid a beautiful and

who had known him for a long term
of years, who led in most feeling
prayer, commencing the loved ones
to Gods divine providence, and
pointing friends to the excellent,
godly life Of the departed.
At the grave Rev. P. N. Stainback,
of Weldon, offered thanks for such a
life that had been a blessing to the
world.
The remains were placed beside
his first wife on the North side of

which he loved for so many years.
There was a large gathering at the
