Photograph Burned Manuscript.
From Popular Mechanics


The processes of color photography
have recently been applied to obtain a
legible photograph of the writing on
burned manuscripts which were unread
able by any other known means. AS long
AS the sheet has not been entirely dis
irtegrated positive results can be OBJ
tanned every time.
The charred manuscript is carefully ar
ranged. in as near its original shape as
possible, on a sheet of glass and covered
with a drying yarnish, after which it is
backed by another sheet OF glass.
BY using carefully selected color
screens and orthochromatic plates a per-
fectly legible photograph of the writing
may be taken, although there may be no
marks on the charred remains that are
visible to the eye.
This is the only known method that
will give results when the writing has
been made with vegetable inks. Ordi-
nary photography can be used success
fully when the ink contains aniline or
iron in its composition.

Is the only official statement given

words. opinion. unanimous" we're
scrawled in lead pencil. There was
never any doubt as to the opinion OF
the body. Questions asked while the
hearing was I'm session gave unmis-
taxable evidence as to which way the
wind was blowing.
While some are inclined to discredit
the fact that the board sympathized
with Williams. those who know base
ball VII find nothing strange in this
fact The National Board of Arbitra-
tion is composed of presidents of min
or leagues. These men have to con (.
tend with just the things that the
president of the Virginia League ha g
had to contend with. They feel sym
pathy for any chief executive who has
to stand the brunt of all of the things
which may go wrong in his organiza-
ton. The body Is intelligent and
Woodworking 1t listens to every
thing. but Is unwilling to consider ex-
traneous matter which the presenting
factions may want to bring into the
discussion. No doubt can possibly
exist as to the decision rendered. GER
tainly not among those who were on
hand and who talked with the men
rendering the decision.
But getting away from what the
board did and considering the matter
purely from the standpoint of the
Virginia League, 1t seems that the
board did not by any means settle the
question. Williams continues in his
stand that he will not vacate until his
successor Is elected. Roanoke and
Norfolk and Petersburg will uphold
him. Danyille and Richmond and
Lynchburg will be opposed to him.
Whether the meeting is called for
January 1, or whether u is called for
some time during the present month.
the fact remains that the league Is
hopelessiy split
The point that tho writer raises Is
that both sides are in error. Both
Sides have made mistakes There la
no use in blaming only. one side, for
where ono may have erred In one par
ticular. the other is equally to blanc
in another. The proof of this state
ment lies in the fact that the league
Is divided three and three. II VIII
Inns did not have his good points GER
tainly three of the teams in the league
would not support him.. 1t lie did not
have his bad points three OF the teams
would not oppose him. The thing to
to do Is to set together. No man in
the United States Will give better seq
vice than Williams at the sano money.
The writer favors him. not because he
is Williams, but because he has done
things which no other chief executive
of the league has ever done.
