Another way to shield the paper from the light is to cut a square of
paper the size desired for the finished print. Paste this lightly in the
centre of a sheet of plain glass, and paint all the clear glass with
Strauss's marl or Gihon's opaque. When the paste is dry remove the
paper, and print through the clear glass in the centre.
Pictures made on Whatman's paper are not common, as few amateurs know
how to make them, but the process is very easy. The paper can be
sensitized with any of the solutions used for making tinted prints,
directions for which have recently been given. A collection of fine
prints made on Whatman's paper, using papers of different tints, is
always much admired, and well repays one for the extra labor required to
prepare the paper.
SIR KNIGHT ARTHUR F. ATKINSON, 1711 I Street, Sacramento, Cal., who
is president of the Niepce Chapter of the Round Table, a chapter
devoted to the interests of amateur photographers, has sent out
circulars to all the members asking their co-operation in
reorganizing the chapter. This chapter has been very active, and
has been a great help to its members. It should not be allowed to
disband, and the charter members will gladly welcome any members of
the Camera Club to its membership who will help to sustain the
chapter. Send names and addresses to the president. The editor of
this column is an associate member of the Niepce chapter, and hopes
to see it as large and flourishing as formerly.
SIR KNIGHT HOWARD WHIPPLE, N.D., asks for a formula for making a
toning-bath out of dentists' scrap-gold. Sir Howard will find his
answer in No. 868 of the ROUND TABLE.
SIR KNIGHT RICHARD P. M'COUN asks how to prepare paper for
printing, and if the soda developer can be used over after the pyro
has been added. Directions for preparing sensitive paper are given
in this number. The developer should be thrown away after using,
unless one is going to develop in a day or two. The developer works
very slowly after having been once used, though it is useful in
starting development when the exposure is over-timed.
SIR KNIGHT BURT TUCK asks if there is any remedy for over-exposed
negatives. See No. 821 of the ROUND TABLE for treatment of
over-exposed plates.
