Colored Photographs Taken by Two ot Clemson'H Professors. ( ?harloston News and Courier ) Two members ot the Clemson fac ulty, Prof. F. H. H. Calhoun, of tho geological department, and Assist ant Profossor E. T. Howard, of the mechanical department, have suc ceeded in producing photographs showing the original colors of the objects photographed. This has been accomplished by meane of tho Lumiere nutochrom plate. Tho process was discovered about one year ago only hy Lum iere, at Lyons, France, ?ind the spe cially prepared films have been on the market for about three months. Dr. Calhoun and j'rof. Howard are ninon? the very firs! in this country to try the process, Huir order for pl.i tes being the 'Hd. Out of eight plates Uuy succeeded in.getting sev en excellent color photographs ol various scenes around the college, and they are naturally very proud of their success. They are doubt less the first people In the South to Undertake tho matter. The film used In making these color photographs Is so made that is contains coloring matter, which ls affected hy tho various colors in the picture to ho taken. The plate ls exposed as usual in photography, except rather longer through a ray Hitor. Great care needs to be exer cised to handle the plates In a dull red light. They must be washed In nine solu tions, the first two in total dark ness. The others take place In the open daylight. The colors appear Immediately upon taking the plates into the light, hut thc remaining processes aro essential to tho Inten sifying, clearing and fixing cf the colors. The newly discovered process, by means of which any scene may bo pictured In I he original colors, seems destined to revolutionize the art of photography. TO THY POSTAL SAVINGS HANKS Thought that This Now Feature will Help I i ii a i Mts of Country. Washington, Feb. 25.-Special: Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, has introduced In tho Sonate a bill pro viding for the establishment of pos tal savings banks. This bill has the approval of Postmaster General Meyer, and will have tho backing of President Roosevelt and the admin istration. It is deslgued to provide a safe depository for tho savings of the people, and incidentally lt ls ex pected to wield a largo influence to wards tl. o prevention rtf financial panics in tho future. Undof its terms tho Postmaster General ls author ized to designate certain post offices as postal savings banks. Deposits of from one dollar to five hundred dollars will bo received at these b:n,Us. ami tho government will pay interest at the rato of two per cent. It is provided thal deposit? shall be considered public moneys and sub ject to tho safeguards and prefer ments provided by statute. 'Phis will guarantee absolute safety *.o these deposits, and in times of finan cial disturbance people who have been In tho habit of wlthdiawlng their money from the banks and hcardlng lt In hiding placo- are ex pected to deposit it with tho postal savings banks. The funds thus deposited with the "eminent will be redeposited in i,r>*.onal banka, and thus tho money will be kept In circulation. Banks books are to bo provided for depos itors and money can bo withdrawn at any time subject to regulations made by tho Postmaster General. Had such a measure been In force during tho past six months lt ls believed that the financial pahle through which the country has just passed would have been averted. Senator Knox has glvon this sub ject careful Htudy, and will oxort his Influence to socure the passage of the bill at this session of Congress.
