unts. A suit case should be large enough to hold every-thing required. With film clips a pair of films may be developed together hia small tray by first wetting the films in water and then placingthem back to back and holding them with the clips. The solu-tion must not be too shallow when developing two films at once. A good developer for the road is dianol, as with the additionof sulphite of soda and a few drops of bromide solution it isready to use, both for films and for prints. Make fresh foreach pair of films. A simplified acid fixing bath for the printsis as follows: Eight ounces, or a common drinking glass ofhypo, and an eighth of a teaspoon of metabisulphite of potas-sium. Pour on this four glasses of water and when dissolvedadd enough saturated solution of chrom alum to turn the solu-tion slightly green. There should be only enough of the meta-bisulphite to make the bath acid by test with blue litmus paper,and enough of the chrom alum to turn the bath only slightlygreen. ICX4

THE BREATH OF SPRING. S. H. Willard. It is a great saving in time to use powdered hypo. For thefilms fill a common glass a quarter full of the hypo and fill tothree quarters full with water and dissolve. Pour it in one ofthe small trays and fix in the strip with the clips.

Cover the table with sev-eral thicknesses of old newspapers, or better yet an oil cloth.If the wall is not white place a white paper against it so thatthe light of the ruby lamp may be thrown against it, thus givinga soft reflected light to work by. Place your watch in thelight of the lamp to see the time plainly. Arrange at the left a wash bowl of clean water, next to itthe developing tray and then the hypo tray. The developershould be eight ounces of water, one and one-half drachms ofanhydrous sulphite of soda and fifteen grains of dianol, towhich has been added four drops of a saturated solution ofbromide of potassium.
