St Louis Republic Special
Now York December 24 For tho first
timo In tho history of tho world color
photography Is fact After working for
jcars a way has been dlscovcicd by which
the hues of naturo cat ba reproduced with
only tho uld of a camera
Professor J S Qlbsoti ls tho man who
has tnado this possible nnd the finished
pictures on exhibition In this city show
that ho can do everything ha sajs he can
For yccrs Professor Olbsou has been
working along tho lines lnld down by Iro
fc eor John Joly of Trinity College Dub-
lin who Ilrst discovered tho present sira
plo process But Professor Olbson began
whero Professor Joly left off and wnat
a year ago was a curious sclenlltlc dls
coicry now is an everyday faot within
tho reach of every photographer
It la tho simplicity of tho means used to
roproduee colois that causes Professor Olb
son to feel such prldo In his work All
needed beyond what is used by nil photo-
graphers aro two screens ho called or
glass plates edmllar in up carancc to those
used for taking negatives Hut lu these
screens Ilea the whole htcret ot tho color
process for each is coveied with minutely
flno lines of tho fundamental colors i > o
closely diaiwn as to bo almost imperceptible
to tho naked eye
Tho tilst of thebc 1 call the taking
screen iald Prorcssor Gibson It is
placed in the camaia directly in front ot
and m contact with tho othochromatlo
fills taking screen is ot greenish or ycl
lowlshgieen ami bluo colors which nro
P aced in alternation 011 ono sldo of the
Rink
Theso lines aio sufficiently fine to blend
or be nnobtiuslio to tho cio and nro 200
or more to the Inch
The cxrosuro of tho plate for taking the
Photograph is made slightly longer than
usual with the samo quality ot plato nnd
a scicen for preionting tho ultraviolet
rajs ot tho spectrum is used
Tho negatho Is developed us usual ami
from It tho posltlics are printed upon glata
or other transparent support In the ordi
nary manner When this ls dono both tba
negative and tho positive havo the appear
ance of being mndo In lino Unfa of shade
instead cf solid black and white Thl ls
due to tho filtering action ot tho lines upon
the taking hcrcen
When tho posltho or printed picture is
ready tho photographer places upon it tho
second screen tho Mewing screen it Is
called This screen Is proilded with Hues
transmitting red green and lolet that is
such light as will cclto tho fundamental
color sensations
This screen Is placed upon tho printed
Picture in such a way lhat tho lines of tho
scicen eorictpond to U10 0 ot tho printed
c Ilr TIn umn hol < 31 he two to tho
light the picture Is seen In all its natural
colors The e two plates are to bo fastened
together and when this In dono thoy may
ho ucd for stereoptieon vlewsvfor hanging
In windows ot for albums
Tho cyo is unable to distinguish between
the jellow of the speclium and a yellow
formed hy fixing proper amounts of red
nnd green light tho tame Is true ot tho
sroctral blue and a bluo formed by mixing
proper amounts ot the green and bluo
violet And what Is true of three colors
vollow and blue Is truo of every other
color ot tho spectrum
