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, 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 it 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 positives are superimposed
on the blue positive, with the result
that the original three colors blend
into myriad of hues when print is
made from the combined positives.

beavers:
Il started with trap for Beaver
Pond, about three miles from Fort Will
liam Cat the head of Lake SUPERIOR.
1t was early winter with only six
inches of snow upon the ground. When
| got within hundred yards of the
pond, the snow began to look as if it
had been trodden firmly down, and
was covered with a coating of ice
Stumps and small bushes protruded in
every direction, and were cut off close
to the ground as neatly as if with a
knife. Previous to the freezing over
of the pond, the beavers cut down very
small brush close by, and dragged It to
the waters edge, where they fastened
it to the bottom of the water, 10 serve
as provisions during the winter. All
birch trees, too, on the edge of the
pond are cut down so as to fall into
the river. They also serve as provi-
sions. The instinct Of beavers in
choosing and cutting down the trees
is wonderful. 1t is rare to see a tree
fall away from the pool instead of
into it"

And he did, thus: On a certain
morning each one of the persons on
the ice list received a notice that
every morning and evening a milk
wagon would make the rounds of the
fiat. Eeach morning and evening
quart of pure fresh milk would be
left at their doors.
And, sure enough, the following day
this welcome distribution began. A
gruff bewhiskered driver, who did no
talking, began a steady regular routine

There was great rejoicing among
the denizens of the flats. The identity
of their generous almoner was un.

had simply stated that he was "a
Good Fellow" The ladies' society
fluttered and wondered. They vel
coined this cooperation, but naturally
were curious and speculative.
One afternoon Grace was retiring
from a visit to sick family at the
flats. Half a mile of bleak prairie
separated the section from the built
up portion of the town A great dash
of rain overlook her. A fierce blast OF
wind turned her umbrella inside out
and tore it from her hand.
In dismay Grace was about to make
quick dash for shelter back at the
flats, when, coming from it's direction
in the driving rain, she made out the
mysterious milk wagon that had been
the cause of so much curiosity and
comment among her fellow workers.
She was gratified at an opportunity to
view in person the generous-hearted
almoner who was cooperating with
them in their charity work, as the
driver halted the vehicle with the
gruff hail:
Jump in. lady-I'll get you to

he whipped up his horse. She was

The two days passed like happy
dream. They spent the whole time to-
gether, at the hotel, on the boardwalk,
at the places of amusement. They
boated together, swan, joined in the
crowd of merrymakers. But as the
third evening approached the shadow
of the past seemed to fall across
them.
They were silent as they sat to-
gether by the sea that night.

the girl.

But you-is your husband really a
man absorbed in his business inter
ests? Doesn't he care for you? How
could he help caring?'
He cares" the girl admitted. Il
was speaking falsely, dear. He loves
me. And so, we have our duties to-
ward these two"
Yes" he agreed.
The last few minutes were gone,
They rose and sauntered back toward

softly.
The next morning Will Durham
started for home. He left his suitcase
at the office and did not go to his
fiat until the evening. When he en-
tered there was smile on his face
as if the memory of the past three
days had been forgotten.
At his ring the door opened and a
charming young woman fell into his
arms. He caught her and covered her
face with kisses.

Three Days

At half-past twelve Durham, just
home from the office, looked about his
little uptown fiat The fiat was empty,
and it seemed to inspire in him a
good deal of interest.
The living room was empty. The
dining room was empty, though his
wife had # a substantial cold lunch
for him before she went away. His
wife's room was empty and stripped
of her belongings In fact, Dora Dun
ham had gone away for three-days'
vacation without her husband.
Durham sneered, but it was a merry
sheer without a trace of vindictive-
ness about it.
Il guess" he said, that when Dora
goes away and leaves me bachelor,
she leaves me the privileges of a
bachelor as WELL
Durham looked the sort of young
man who might have made any wom-
an happy. Yet he seemed in hurry
to get away from his home. He ate
his lunch. packed his suitcase, left the
apartment and took ticket for Allan
tic Harbor.
At thirty many men have a good
deal of the boy left in their systems.
Durham, the fifteen-hundred-a-ye
clerk, seemed to have shaken off the
cares of business and the RESPONSE
bilities of married life at the same
time. Before his wife had departed
alone it had been understood that the
financial situation made a vacation for
both impossible that year. Mentally
each had reserved the right to a three
days outing. They had spoken of this
wish about the same time, and had
agreed to try the holiday separately.
The train stopped at the station.
