New and Interesting Method of Doing the Wort Lately Discovered. A valuable paper has been readjbefore the photographic section of the American Institute by H. J. Newton, explaining a new and interesting method of developing photographic prints on paper with coal .tar products in alkaline solutions. He expresses the belief, from observation and the investigations he has made, that prints resulting by development from bromide of silver are absolutely permanent. The bromide paper was first made in Europe, and the first prints were on imported paper. An Important consideration, of course, is the keeping quality of-such paper before using as well as after; and as to this the statement is made that samples have been kept some three years and a half without any* sign of deterioration being exhibited, the manufacturers also declaring that the material when five years old is as good as when ifrst made. Different alkalies do not. perform or produce a uniform effect'*on paper manufactured at different establishments. Again, the carbonates produce a browner black than the caustic alkalies. But the beauty of a print will, after aU, dapend taca--certain extent ypon the bromide in the developer-r-par-tioularly noticeable being the effect of an addition of bromide of soda to. the developer. / Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’s Fair Highest Medal and Diploma,
