Sixty-Year-old Controversy.
The Chamizal controversy, now ap-

the result of the incorrigibly vagrant

with Old Mexico a few miles west of
FL Paso. 1t is by no means the only
dispute arising from the same cause

twisted stream bed between here and

Ever since the custom among men

Gus substitute receptacles have been

young woman In charge of the hat

suitable place for these pictures has
been discovered by some one and the
fad is rapidly spreading among the
men.
Lately" said this young woman
"Pve noticed that good many of the

Photographic BasReIlefs.

Baese Of Florence, Italy, invented
process for producing bas-reliefs by
photography. The basis of the inven-
tlon IS the property possessed by
film of chromium gelatin of swelling
in proportion 70 the intensity of the
light falling upon it, The swelling is
greater with low than with high in
tenSity, SO that the light passing
through a Photographic negative pro-
duces upon a chromium gelatin plate
positive or distinct relief. The trans
parency Of an ordinary negative how
ever, is not truly proportional TO the
relief Of the original method. but by
an ingenious automatic device involv-
ing a double exposure, this difficulty
is avoided, and a negative is obtained
having its lights and shades correctly
graded to produce the effect of relief
