DRIVEN FROM & | cals 1s far more satisfactory than - TRANSVAL BY - THE BOER WAR ;California Mining Man Tells ‘ About South African Burghers. st Says They Appropriated Valuable | Properties and Took Out Gold | Faster Than the Mints Could Coin It. | Gaat g H. R. de Noon of Rhodesia, South Af- | rica, and J. M. L. Henry of Johannesburg, are at the Russ. Both are mining men, and left the Transvaal when war broke out, fearing that if they remained they | would be forced to join the Boer army | "Mr. de Noon, an American by birth, has | spent twenty-five years in South Africa, | being the greater portion of that time in i the employ of Cecil Rhodes. As a boy he | worked in the diamond minesat Kimberley | and later headed a party of explorers and pioneers into Rhodesia. During his career he came into contact with President Kru- | ger, Joubert, Pretorius and other great | Boer leaders. Now he owns important | mining interests of his own in Rhodesia, | which he purposes developing as soon as | | the war is over and the country becomes | settled. Mr. Henry had been but four years in | | Johannesburg. His home is at Truckee, where he has lived most of his life. In Johannesburg he was employed in the famous Summer & Jack mine, the largest | in the country.” When the mine is under operation it employs about 600 white men and 4900 blacks. Whep the war broke out he says the whites were given eight days in which to leave the country if they so desired. Most of them decided to go, and Henry fell in with the retreat. A few | men were left behind to work the pumps and keep the mine free from water, but it was afterward learned that these men were driven off hi‘ the burghers and the mine left to itself. The Boers worked about eleven of the best mines belonging to Hnslish and German capitalists, and, it is said, took out so much gold that they could not coin it and sold it at Delagoa Bay for £2 10s an ounce, when the market value was £3 10s. Both Henry and De Npon remained at Cape Town from the middle of Octéber until February 1, hoping that peace would be declared. They then took ship for Australia_and theénce home by way of Victoria, B. C. They say that the war cannot last long and laugh at the dispatch published last night which said that there were 150,000 foreigners in the country ready to fight under the Boer flag. ey place the number of unitlanders who re- mained in South Africa in order to join the Boer cause at 20,000, and assert pos- itively that only a few thousand could possibly have entered the country since. FEDERATED CLUBS TO MEET. The General Federation of Wome Clubs is to hold its biennial sessions this summer in Milwaukee, Wis., and there is alréady a stir in local organizations in preparation for the meeting, which will call to the Middle West dejegates from nearly all the woman's clubs that have sprung into being throughout the country within the last quarter of a century. Cali- fornia will be represented probably by in- dividual clubs as well as by the delegates from the State Federation, which was called into existence_ this winter in Los Angeles. with Mrs. Burdette as charter president, for the understanding prevails that it IS the sentiment of the General Federation to preserve club individuality in representation wherever desired. MaltNictiineo is essential to the weak and ill, and equally beneficial to the well. The fact that the An- heuser-Busch Brewing Ass'n prepares it is a guarantee of {t® merit. Sold by all druggists. Dr. Wilson Did Not Arrive. Dr. W. Wilson, director of the Philadel- phia Commercial Museum, and William Harper, chief of the bureau of informa- tion of the same institution, were expect- ed to arrive on the overland train from the East yesterday afternoon and a Ty of distinguished citizens, head oy Mayor Phelan, went over to Oakland to meet them. There must have been some misunderstanding, however, for the Phil- adelphians were not to be found on the train. They will vrob-bli( arrive on the owl this morning. In Mayor Phelan's party there were President Wheeler of the university, Irving M. Scott, A. Sbar- boro_and several other prominent citizens. Dr. Wilson anu his associate are coming here to assist in the establishment of the Pacific Commercial Museum, the organi. zation of which is now in the hands of a committee of representative business men, St g t— Ladies' red ties, worth $1 50, for 50c a pair at sale of shoes, 717 Market street. | holder, so t |‘ers. COURSE IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS. Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. VIII.—DEVELOPING. BY FELIX RAYMER. Now that the negative has been made and we have our darkroom ready, the next thing to do will be to develop the tmage. | It will be found on examination that the | film to all appearances is just the same that it was when first placed in the plate- it becomes necessary to do something that wiil bring out the image as we saw it on the ground To do it is ne ary to combine certain chemicals and apply them to the plate. This is called “developing,” and the com- bination of chemicals is called the ‘“de- veloper.” The developer can be made up in quantities in what is called “stock so- lution By this it is meant that the chemicals are mixed to a certain strength and then each time there is an exposure to be developed certain quantities are taken from the “‘stock solutions” for that particular exposure, the remainder of the “stock solution” being tightly corked for future use. For the amateur, making only a few exposures a month for pleasure, it would possibly be more economical and less troublesome to use some one of the many ready prepared developers, any of which will give good results when prop- erly used. These ready prepared solu- tions may bas obtained from any reliable stock house and directions foritheir use accompany cach preparation. * Believing, however, that the greatest benefit ana best work can be obtained by mixing our eloper it is with that branch of the developing we will now deal. Dcubtless what is known as the “pyro- gzllic acid” developer is the most popular of all the developers now in use, there- fore that will be mentioned first. The first thing to do is to make up a “stock solu- tion” of the various chemicals used. Th is done in the following way: Take three bottles, each holding about one quart Number them 1 and 2 and 3. In number one a solution of ‘“carbonate of potas- sium’ should be made to “test” 4) degrees. This is done by means of a little instr ment known as a hydrometer, obtained from some stock dealer at a cost of about @ cents. This hydrometer is a hollow glass tube with a bar arranged something iike 4 thermometer which drops into the tube. To test any solution the tube must filled with the liquid and the bar dropped into it, when the strength of the solution will be indicated on the scale of This method for mixing chemi- by weight, as the chemicals are then always made at exactly the same strength, whereas if made by weight they may vary several degrees, from the fact that certain chemicals when exposed to air logt some of their strength, while others will in- crease in strength. Now, to get a 40-de- gree solution fill bottle No. 1 about two- thirds full of water and add carbonate of fum, a little at a time, shaking after ddition “until dissolved, and then pouring the glass tube of the hydrometer full and testing until the desired strength the bar. is obtained. In bottle No. 2 a solution of “sulphite of soda” should be made and should test 80 degrees. s test is made | in the same 2 € ¥ " test. In bottle No. 3 Put 24 ounces of water, in which dissolve 15 grains of oxalic acid. After this is dissolved add one ounce of pyrogallic acid. Now everything is ready for developing the plate. The same light may be used that was used for holding the plate hold- It will be supposed that the plate Is about five by seven inches In size. Of course, a tray of that size must be used. To develop a plate five by seven inches in size it will take at least four ounces of developer to “flow” the plate properly, so start in by taking one-half ounce of solu- tion No. 1, one-half ounce of solution No. 2 and one-half ounce of solution No. 3. Add to this four ounces of water. In mi ing the developers only the very purest water obtainable should be used. Melted ice gives a good, pure water. Now to get the best results in developing it is neces- sary to understand just what each chemi- cal does, so that if we find something wrong it may be remedied. To begin with, it a plate should be examined under a powerful microscope it would be seen that the film is deposited on the plate in the form of small sacks, or globules. In each | that part of the film that has been acted upon by light to turn dark. The sulphite of soda Is known the “clearing solu- tion.” This controls the color in the nega- tive. By varying the strength of these chemicals in the developer to be used on the different exposures different effects can be obtained. For instance, suppose it is known that the plate is undertimed, more of the carbonate of potassium should be added, while if the plate is overtimed more of ‘the pyre acid should be used. If the 2 shows too much yellow in it there should be more of the uiphite of soda used. If the negative has a black or blue-black color (00 much sul- phite of soda has n used. The best color for the negative is generally thought to be a faint tinge of yellowlsh-green. Now that it is understood ‘what action the | different chemicals have on the film the | and, if possible, in a cool of these little sacks is a tiny particle of | bromide of silver. When the plate is ex posed the light affects an: of developers this affected silver 14 devel oped up so that we get what we call the “negative.” The actlon of the carbonate of potassium on the plate is to break thesa litt}e sacks that have been acted upon by the light. The pyrogallic acid is called the of this silver | | that may be exposed to it, and by the use | | “blackening agent.” It is this that causes | a developing may be proceeded with. Place the plate in the tray, film side up. Grasp the tray with the left hand. Take the developer in the right hand and flow it over the plate quickly. Do not do this roughly, as that would cause air bells, which would settle on the film and cause transparent spots. It is rather a hard matter to understand just when a negative should first begin to show the image, and a still harder one to tell when it is fir ished. However, to make things as simple as possible it is suggested that when the plate has been in the developer from twenty-four to thirty seconds the imags should begin to show In the strongest high lights. This is what may be called & nor- mally timed negative. If, however, the high lights fail to appear inside thir: onds it may be consldered an undertimed late and should be treated accordingly, irst a few drops of the carbonate of potassium from the stock solution bottls should be added to the developer. If the plate is not too much undertimed this may suffice. If this, however, fails to bring it all right make up a fresh developer, usin; about twice the amount of water and about one-third more of the carbonate of potassium. Pour this over the plate and cover the tray and let It sit for some time, When the shadows begln to show the detall pour oft this solution and pour on normal developer and finish the develop- If, on the other hand, the plats in'less than twenty-four seconds d be treated for overtime. slightly overtime—say It E in about eighteen or twenty sec- onds—a few drops of pyrogallic acid sol tion will usually make it all right. If i should be considerably overtimed. say it should show in ten seconds, the proper treatment would be to use a few drops of a 10 per cent solution of “bromide of po- tassium. This solution is made by tak- ing one ounce of bromide of potassium and ten ounces of water, which make a ten per cent solution. If the plate is over- timed add two or three drops of this and it will help matters. But if too much is added it will only make bad matters worse by causing another trouble, which is a clogging of the halftones and high light erefore, be very careful how it is added. For convenience, however, the normally timed plate will be dealt with here. After the plate Is flowed with the de- veloper and it has shown in say twenty- six seconds, the next thing that will puz- zle the novice is when to take the plate out of the developer. One way to judge when a plate is developed far enough, and one that has proved very satisfactory, s to develop until the detail is all out of the deepest shadow in the picture when ex amined by holding the negative up to the developing light and looking through it from e back. Another way is to de- velo; ntil the high lights show through on the back of the plate when looked at as one would when looking at a picture or when reading a letter. is is one of the most difficult things to understand and can only be acquired by constant practice. After the plate is developed take it from the developer and rinse for at least one minute under the tap or pour several dippers of water over it. Then place it in the “fixing bath.” This fixing bath is made of hyposulphite of soda and water to test 5 degrees by the hydfo meter. As the hyposulphite of soda is cheap, it would not cost much to make it up fresh for each lot of plates, and this will be found to be the most satisfactory in its results. The plate should remain in this bath for about five minutes after all the creamy appearance has left the back of the plate. Do not expose the plate to white light until after all this creamy appearance has disappeared, as it will cause the negative to have misty or fogged shadow: hen taken from the fixing bath it should be washed for at least thirty minutes under the tap or iven about twelve or fifteen changes of resh water of five minutes each. After this washing the surface should be “mopped” off with a wet tuft of absorbent cotton to remove any sand or dirt that may have been left by the water.. Now the negative is ready to hang up and dry. It should be set or hung in a dry place, JFlace. as_thia gives a more helps it to dry firm surface. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

BEGETS DESIRE FOR GOOD READING. Librarian Teggart's Opinion of The Call's Home Study Circle. Editor The Call—It is the misfortune of the ma jority of men to-day that the pressure of business competition corpels them to leave school at an early age, and later absorbs their time to such an extent that they have bui 1lit- tle opportunity to continue the studies so prematurely discon- tinued. While an im- mense amount of solid reading is done by the people of San Francis- co through the librar- ies, it has long been felt that some m=ans was lacking to interest a still larger publie in the greatu literary masterpieces and @+ e reiei st eieg e e S SR Y FREDERICK J.
