MARVELOUS RESULTS IN COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY For years scientists have been trying to perfect a system of color- photography, but it has remained for Robert John of Santa Kosa, Cal., to secure resul.s that are eminently satisfactory for reproduction pur poses. For a number of months John has beeu devoting his time to photo graphing Luther Burbank’s plant creations for a noted woik that will shortly be issued as a standard ex position of the wonders Burbank has done iu the realm of horticul ture. It was only recently that John discovered the secret that has so long baffled camera men. He has some marvelous pictures, all in nat ural colors. The work is done in the usual manner as far as a laymen is able to note, the principal difference being in the plate, which is highly sensitized and made responsive to color impressions. Burbank him self is amazed at the pictures. Col or in every tint is produced in the photography. Several thousand dol lars’ worth of paintings made of the Burbank fruits for the work men tioned will be laid aside for the new John photograph?. In order to prevent the ‘ commer cializing” of the life work of Luther Burbank, a Luther Burbank society has been organized and chartered by the state of California, with the definite purpose of seeing that the work of the great scientist is given to posterity without entail. fljo b Printing— New presses new material and experienced workmen.
