8 New Photography Two weeks ago the New York Times pub- lished a cable from Berlin announcing the discovery of a new photographic printing process, the distinguishing feature of which was that it dispensed with the use of light. Not, of course, that the light is no longer necessary for taking the picture, but that, after the picture is taken with the camera upon the plate and the negative is “fixed"” fn the usual way, the photographer is inde- pendent of the sun and the weather, So much of the first report told, but this first report was brief and gave the ordinary reader no very clear conception of the pro- posed substitute for the ordinary method of printing by light rays intercepted by the image on the transparent plate or film of the negative. Two things, however, seemed to be clear—that a transparent plate might be dispensed with and that the printing was by actual contact. More exact information is now at hand which makes it poasible for the lay mind to get an idea of what the press is—although it I8 still hazardous to make any prediction as to the practical value of the method. At all events, professional photographers in this country—the few who have heard of it -—aeem to be interested, and the new photo- graphic printing process which the in- ventors have named Katatypy is the sub- ject of several articles in recent sclentific Journals in Germany. S0 far no experiments have been made in this country, but the process has been sub mitted to public demonstration In Berlin and Leipsic, and these demonstrations seem to show that by simple chemical means any number of prints from negatives can he produced in a short time, and without the ald of light. The printing is done directly upon the paper by the chemical action of the developed plates, and what seems especially remarkable is that, according to the reports received, the plate suffers no deterioration, Prof. Wilhelm Oswald of Leipsic and Dr. Gross of the same place appear as the dis- coverers of the process. They found that when paper prepared with bichromate of potassium and pyrogallic acid was placed in contact with an ordinary platinum print the platinum, for some reason unexplained, hastened reaction between the bichromate and the acid, which otherwise act very slowly upon each other. The result was an exact print of the platinum picture upon the prepared paper the color of the re- production belng a red brown. Descrip- tions of the experiment received during the past week by a New Yorker say that this action of the platinum plate upon the prepared paper left the original platinum plcture unchanged. 1If that is the case, obviously the process can be repeated with the same plate, and other paper prepared with bichromate of potassium and so on. Another process was with hydrosuperox- ide, as was described in the Berlin cables on the subject published in the Times two weeks ago. A negative print upon platinum paper or a bromide of silver negative is treated with an aqueous solution of hydro- superoxide, and then the negative so treated 18 placed in contact with gelatinized paper. The hydrosuperoxide picture passes to the gelantine. It is at first invisible, but a treatment with sulphate of iron makes the picture black and other chemlcals give pictures of various colors, some of which are remarkably durable.-—~New York Times, Mystery Explained Had the tipplers of Boston been present &t the lecture by Prof. Henty Pickering Bowditch in the Lowell institute series last evening, reports the Boston Globe, they would have been surprised as he techni- cally described the process a man goes through when he I8 acquiring a “jag.” It would certainly have been a great source of satisfaction to many of them to learn from the lips of the eminent profes- sor of physiology at Harvard university why it is that a man in the state he was describing frequently pcesesses the power of seeing two things where but one exists, of riding horseback when he is unable to walk, why he desires to give away all his “roll," why he {8 pugilistic, hilarious, morose, etc. Prof. Bowditch was speaking upen ‘‘Some Problems of Modern Physiology,” and last evening he took up the matter of ‘‘Food and ‘Relishes.”” He distinguished between foods which are nutritious and those which are nourishing, and said the value of food depended upon what it was wanted for, whether to maintain animal heat or to cre- ate muscle energy. He sald relishes were necessary, and defined a relish as some- thing which stimulates the nervous system and thus alds the digestive system. He classed alcohol as a relish and said it was sometimes a food and sometimes a poison. Its properties are little under- stood by those who use it to excess. Alco- hol does liberate energy, but the man who has taken sufficlent to make him intoxi- cated could have secured as much proteid material from a quarter of a pound of bread at much less wonetary cost. Ms first effect when taken in more than small quantities is to cause the skin to be- come flushed and the pores to expand. Con- trary to the general idea, thie indicates that the body is in the process of cooling off and is losing its heat. Because of this property alcohol l& now used extensively by physiclans to lower the temperature of patients, and the man who drinks it before THE ILLUSTRATED BEE. Raymond V. Cole, President. COLE & McKAY CO,, This firm has recently opened undertaking parlors at 1517 Capitol avenue, with clean and the most up-to-date stock to be found in the wes:. Not belng satisfied with the finest stock of goods in their parlors the market affords, they have also laid great stress on and exercised great care in selecting other equip- ment, and now have the finest hearse and casket wagon that years experience of the James Cunningham Son & Co. could supply. everything new, Mr. Cole is well and favorably known as proprietor of the Harney Street Stables, which he has conducted since coming to Omaha, nearly eight years ago. He was formerly associated with the Stephen Mer- ritt Burial and Cremation company in New York City, one of the largest concerns in this line of business in the country, and his experience there was excepticnal. Mr. McKay will be remembered by those who know him as having been associated e e e e et e e e going on a sleigh ride doesn’'t understand its properties. The next effect of the alcohol on a man who has taken a large quantity cf it is to affect the brain, the seat of the nervous system, and when this is affected he is una- e to think clearly and loses control of the entire emotional system. Ordinarily when sober his clear mind has more or less per- fect control of his emotions, but when in- toxicated he loses this control and becomes hilarious, morose or pugilistic, etc., as hie nature leads him, That a man sometimes sees double is due to the inability to control the muscles of the eye. From the inability to control the muscles follows a state of coma. s Alcohol, he said, in health is nui a valu- able food, but when one is_recovering from sickness it may be of great use, War on Prairie Dogs The Texas logislature has passed a law providing for the extermination of prairie dogs. The stockmen and farmers of the pan- handle region of the state have been trying for many years to have such a law enacted, but the matter had always met with so much ridicule in the legislature that nothing was accomplished. The law provides that in counties where there are prairie dogs an election shall be held upon a petition of fifty freeholders in any county for the pur- pose of voting upon the proposition to ox- terminate the pest. If the result of the eleetion is for extermination the land own- ers of the county are givea twelve months in which to kill all the dogs on their re- spective tracts. Owners or lessees of land who fail to comply with the law are sub- ject to damages in the sum of $2.50 per section per month for injury done on ad- joining land by the dogs which come from the uncleared tracts, It Is estimated that the cost of killing the dogs Is about $25 per section.
