The following method is said to give 

 strong prints in platinotype from thin, 

 weak negatives that would otherwise give 

 only a gray, flat print. Prepare a solution 

 by dissolving 64 grains of bichromate of 

 ammonium in S ounces of pure water. This 

 solution should be guarded from the light. 

 When ready to develop the prints, add one- 

 quarter drachm, or 15 drops, of the bichro- 

 mate of ammonium solution to each ounce 

 of liquid developer. Develop the prints and 

 treat in the usual manner. 



If contrast is not sufficient, more of the 

 bichromate solution may be used until 

 the desired effect is obtained. The greater 

 the quantity of bichromate solution used 

 the greater will be the contrast, but, carried 

 too far, it may result in the whites being 

 chalky. — Western Camera Notes. 



Since the engagement of pretty Miss Brant 

 was announced her small brother has been 

 trying to understand what it means. 



"Why," explained his mother, "Mr. 

 Skaggs has asked sister to marry him. 

 That means she will live in his house after- 

 ward, and he'll take care of her." 



"Buy her things ?" 



I'Yes." 



"Hats and dinners and everything?"' 

 \es. 



The boy thought it over a moment, and 

 then said : "Well, ain't that man got pluck !"
