A simple retouching varnish is made by adding dammar gum to turpentine
in the proportion of 40 grains of the gum to 1 oz. of turpentine, but
the addition of the resin as in the last formula seems to give a better
grain to the negative.
CONSTANT READER asks if there is a solution for making green
prints, and asks what is the matter with red prints, made by
formula given in the Camera Club, which instead of being red, are a
dirty brick color. Directions for green tones were given in No.

SIR KNIGHT B. A. PORTER asks how to make carbon prints, and says he
would like to learn photography in some studio, and asks what
course to pursue to obtain a position. Directions for making carbon
prints have not been given in this column. A paper on
carbon-printing is prepared, and will appear after the holidays. Go
to some first-class photographer and state what you wish to do.
Many photographers take boys who wish to learn the art of
photography and give them instruction, in payment for their
services while learning. The rudiments are easily mastered, but
perfection comes only by long and patient labor.
FRED. J. asks how to join the Camera Club; if the "Vive" is a good
camera for beginners; and if the pictures made with it may be
entered in the ROUND TABLE contest. Send name and address to the
ROUND TABLE, stating your wish to become a member of the Camera
Club, and your name will be enrolled on the books and a certificate
sent you. Yes, to the other questions.
SIR KNIGHT RAYMOND E. REYNOLDS asks if the Bullet is a good camera.
The Bullet does excellent work for a small camera.
SIR KNIGHT GEORGE FULLER asks if the Premo, Sr., is a good camera,
or if he could get a better camera of some other make for the same
price. The Premo is an excellent camera, and has been on the market
long enough to have its merits tested. A Premo was given as one of
the prizes in our competition two years ago, and the winner is very
much pleased with it. Each make of camera has some special feature
to recommend it. You would doubtless be entirely satisfied with the
Premo, and the price is about the same for all cameras of the size
named.
