The annual fair now in progress at, the Memorial Hospital for Women and Children has proved to be one of the most attractive which this season of numerous fairs has brought forth. The many visitors who braved the disagreeable weather yesterday afternoon felt well repaid for their efforts on entering the well lighted and gayly decorated rooms given over to the bazar. There was a brisk business' kept up around the several tables devoted to fancy articles, the many dainty and novel things on sale appealing to purchasers desiring suitable holiday gifts.

Small toilet articles, picture rraines, embroidered pieces, calendars, are much in tvidenco here. Among the calendars, one designed by a. hospital nurse attracted no little comment for its ingenuity. Against a black card Is a calendar pad, flanked by a miniature skeleton, above which a placard bears the warning: "This Is the man who didn't believe in trained nurses." Dolls wore in groat demand at the headquarters of these important personages, in the superintendent's The favorites were the trained nurses In the costume of Memorial Hospital, which, of course, no well regulated doll tamlly should be without. little golden haired beauty welcomes visitors and invites them by means of a placard to "guess mv name." She is the dolly named by Mrs.

Roosevelt, wife of the President. It costs but five cenn to try one's luck and stand a chance of winning the little woman. This doll was dressed and presented to the fair by Mrs. Watson Thompson. Lucky guessers may also be tempted by the basket's of rosv cheeked apples in the country store, which go to the one guessing nearest to their number.

The country store will supply anything from a bag of flour to a box of matches. A handsome Singer sewing machine is exhibited at one of the fancy tables; it will be raffled off at cents a chance. Perhaps, the best business was done in the dining room, where the crowd was so great at times" that there was scarcely sufficient accommodation between the hours of 6 auJ o'clock, when dinner was served. In the children's ward the Marionettes presented Cinderella and Red Riding Hood in alternation with the "Man of Mystery," who mystified the audience with his performances. The children's favorites, Foxy Grandpa and Happy Hooligan, were introduced in Professor Corbett's Punch and Judy show.

A picturesque Spanisn gypsy held forth in a cozy room and made Plain past, present and future by means of palmistry. To night will see the end of the fair. Dinner will be served again from 6 to and a song recital by Mrs. Julia Rudge will be a feature of especial Interest. ACCIDENT STOPS CABLE LAYING.

Illus, by Charles Robinson. London. Dent, is. Very often the photographer is in grave doubt as to whether or not his everyday washing methods for plates and prints are really efficacious. The only way to be sure about this is to test the last wash water for the presence of hypo.

The permanganate test is probably the one which is most frequently used, because of its simplicity and extreme sensitiveness to the slightest trace of hypo. The formula is: tVater (distilled) 5 ounces Permanganate of potash grain Caustic soda 5 Krains A Utile of the wash water is added to this so' Jtion, and hypo is present the change in color is very perceptible. For the most i delicate tests it is well to add one or two drops of sulphuric acid to this solution, and when tiie wash water is added it should be viewed against a piece of white paper. In this way the presence of one one of a grain of hypo can be detected. For another test prepare two solutions: Solution I.

Distilled water 5 ounces Fcrrtryanlde "of potassium 23 grains Solutton II. Distilled water 5 ounces Ferric chloride 160 grains For use mix in equal parts and divide between two glasses. To one glass add disJ tilled water and to the other glass the wash water and watch any change in color. If hypo is present the solution will change' to a greenish cast. A simple test is to prepare a solution of: DUtllled water 0 ounces Chromic acid 8 grains Sulphuric acid 8 drops This solution is placed in a beaker against white paper and two or three ounces of the wash water are added.

If hypo is present a greenish precipitate will immediately form. Still another test for which the chemicals are always obtainable is as follows: Dilute jiphuric acid with' twice Its oulk of water. Put a little granulated zinc in a twelve ounce flask; cover with five ounces of the wash water and add an ounce of the diluted sulphuric acid. The flask is then stopped with a cork through which is a glass tube drawn to a point. Of course, hydrogen gas is at once formed from a combination of zinc and sulphuric acid, but if hypo is present to any appreciable extent this gas contains sulphuretted hydrogen which is readily detected by its terrible odor.

For very delicate tests where this odor is not perceptible place in the fumes a piece of filter paper which has been moistened with a solution of lead acetate. If the slightest trace of hypo is present the paper will show a brown discoloration. Tests may also be made with starch, ferric chloride and various other chemicals, but the above are sufficient for all photographic purposes. It must be remembered that the efficiency of some of the teste for hypo is Impaired by impurities in the water, hence the im portance ot uBing cusiuiea water ror tests whenever possible. For the best results it Is even well to use distilled water for the last wash water.

When ordinary tap water Is used it Is advisable to make several of the above tests to make Bure that the re aults are accurate. If the tests reveal hypo Jn the wash water "the remedy is obvious. Four Feet. Two Feet and No Feet. Estes, $1.50.

A prominent photographic firm recommends a flash powder composed of: Pure magnesium powder, 2 parts; chlorate of potassium, 3 parts. This powdgr should only be mixed by persons who have some knowledge' of the preparation of explosives, as the compound; is highly explosive and disastrous results are sure to follow careless handling.

It must be distinctly remembered that the chlorate must be pulverized before it is mixed with the magnesium. If the novice does attempt to mix a powder of this kind he should mix a very small' quantity at a time in no case more than an ounce until he is thoroughly familiar with the action the chemicals he is using and their explosivencss when mixed. The mixing should be done on a piece of clean white paper and the stirring may. be done with a strip ot card The face should be kept at one side and as far away as possible. These directions are not given for the purpose of encouraging amateurs to mix their own flash powder, but.

rather as a warning to those who might attempt to compound some flash powder formula without' understanding the nature of. thechemicals with which they had to deal. The amateur cannot be to strongly reminded of the danger arising from the high explosiveness of the compound powders and of the. care with which they should be handled. It is always best for the photographer to obtain his powders In prepared but for those who mix their own the above formula furnishes a simple, quick and very effective powder for groups, portraits, animal studies and for all purposes where a rapid powder is required.

It may be weir to add that all flash light powder should be kept perfectly dry and free from lumps. To prevent stripping films from wrinkling when detached from their support they may be mounted on cardboard in the same manner as prints, and when dry they will strip CHEAP CAMERAS Are not alwavs the best investment but froooYserviceableCAMER a OUTFITS, such as I supply, will always prove satisfactory.

off evenly and will remain flat. This method is especially important for large sizes. Chromotype printing is a new modification of the carbon process and is similar to the azotype process, in that no transfers are required. After printing, the paper is soaked in cold water to remove the bichromate. After this is done development may take place at once or may be put off for a number of weeks.

The development is performed with hot water which contains a quantity of sawdust. The print is placed on a piece of glass at a slant and the water poured ovei it, the force being regulated by the height from which it is poured. If the high lights appear quickly, it indicates under exposure, and the temperature of the water is lowered; but if they appear slowly, it indicates over exposure, and the temperature of the water Is raised. By varying the temperature of the water there is a great latitude in exposure, and development, and, beside, excellent op I portunitles are presented for local develop ment. any part of the image may bu I built up" or taken away at will.

The opera tion of taking away is best performed by ap plying a forcible stream of hot water, while the print is in a shallow tray of waler. The building up of the image is accomplished by applying pigments of any desired color. Like the carbon process paper, this method furnishes excellent means for the expression of one's artistic conceptions. K. C.
