Show COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY. (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) Throughout the country photographers photogra-phers are interested in- the discovery of S. B. Hargreaves. an architect and photographer of Indianapolis. Har- , greaves had uncovered the secret of , color photography, and last night, be- j fore an audience of prominent seen- j t!fic people of the state, demonstrated j his process and its accuracy. The demonstration was conducted in the photo-engraving department of an Indianapolis In-dianapolis ' newspaper and proved beyond be-yond doubt that the inventor has achieved success in discovering the secret se-cret which has heretofore baffled all photographic investigators and experimenters. experi-menters. . Hargreaves' ' discovery was clue, in the first place, to an accident. While engaged in - the work of making exposures ex-posures by means of the wet-plate process proc-ess -he accidentally npilled a coat of sensitive solution over the surface of t a thin plate mirror. 'This; aroused hirf curiosity as to what action the light would have on a mirrored surface coat- j ed in this manner, and Hargreaves. accordingly ac-cordingly placed the coated glass in a plate holder and exposed it in the usual manner. On flowing the negative thus secured . with a developing solution he was surprised sur-prised to see a sharp, clear image suddenly sud-denly appear on the mirror briliiantly colored with all the colors of the object ob-ject he had photographed. Before he could recover from his bewilderment be-wilderment the color slowly faded from the plate, leaving only a blackened film with patches of a bright mirrored surface sur-face showing through here and thrc. This action of the chemicals aroused in Hargreaves' mind a series of questions the solutions to which he immediately set about to discover. What had produced the colored image? im-age? Had he really discovered the process of color photography so long sousrht for? What caused the colors to immediately immedi-ately fade? Hargreaves went to work to complete his accidental discovery.
