CAN PHOTOGRAPH IN CoLoRS
Scientists Have Reached Goal Which
Has Been Sought for Great
Number Of Years.

Color photography, the goal OF In
ventors and scientists for years. has
at last been realized. So perfect has
been made the process that the max.
ing of color prints is now open even
to amateurs. OF course, a special
camera and special kinds of plates are
necessary
Three plates are inserted in the
camera. and the front plate is dropped
to the bottom of the box. The image
to be photographed is reflected to this
bottom plate by a mirror The other
two plates receive their impressions
directly from the lens. Each Of the
plates is coated with chemicals which
enable 1t to record certain colors, one
recording the red, another the yellow
and the third the blue tones of the
object.
A separate positive is made from
each plate, the positive from the blue
plate being made on paper and the red
and yellow positives on thin films. The
two film posltives are superimposed
on the blue positive. with the result
that the original three colors blend
into a myriad OF hues when a print is
made from the combined positives.
