By a dark room is meant one that is wholly dark-not a ray of light in it. Such a room can easily be secured at night almost anywhere, the reason a dark room is required is that the plates are extremely sensitive to white light, eIther daylight or lamplight, and would be spoiled if exposed to it even for a fraction of a second . .

10 EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. DEFECTIVE NEGATIVES. By following closely the foregoing directions, the novice can make seventy-five pet cent., or upwards, of good negatives. Sometimes, however, the directions are not followed, and failures result. To forewarn the camerist is to forearm him and we therefore describe the common causes of failure. Under-Exposure. Caused by making snap shots indoors, or in the shade, or when the light is weak, late in the day or by closing the lens too soon on time exposures.

Spots, Streaks, Etc. Air bells on the plate in the developer or fixing bath, are liable to cause spots, and streaks are caused by allowing the plates to remain uncovered in part by the vaTious solutions while in them.
EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. [2 PRINTING ON EASTMAN'S SOLIO PAPER. Having found that amateurs can easily handle our Solio Paper we have now substituted it for the Ferro·Prussiate Paper, which we formerly furnished with the ABC outfits, as it makes' far handsomer pictures than the blue prints. Solio prints have a warm, brown tone and are usually mounted on card-board and highly burnished. METHOD OF PRINTING.
NO.2 EUREKA CAMERA. [3 Pour the toning solution into one of the trays and immerse the prints one after the other in the toning bath. Five or six prints can be toned together if they are kept in motion and not allowed to lie in contact. Turn the prints all face down and then face up and repeat this all the time they are toning. The prints will begin to change color almost immediately from reddish brown to reddish yellow, then brown to purple.
