t one way and then the other at right angles. Be
sure that all the paper is covered. Dry in a dark room, pinning
the paper to the wall or some smooth surface. After two or three
times trying one can apply the solution evenly. The prints are
very beautiful, and if well washed do not fade.

ANSWERS TO SEVERAL CORRESPONDENTS.--We have had many queries as to
how one may become a member of the Camera Club. Any member of the
Round Table may become a member of the club by sending his or her
name to the Round Table. We hope all of our readers who own
cameras will join the club, as we expect to give some new and
original plans for work during the year.

SIR KNIGHT B. P. ATKINSON, Tilton, New Hampshire, asks, 1. What is
Eikonogen made from, and what is the chemical name. 2. What is the
difference between chrome alum and alum crystals. 3. When we
expect to have another photographic contest. 4. Is Watkin's
exposure meter a reliable machine. 5. How can films be kept from
curling.

1. Eikonogen is the sodium salt compounded from three different
chemicals, and comes in whitish-gray crystals. It is the name of a
developing agent patented by Dr. Andreson about six years ago. It
is not poisonous, does not stain the fingers, and gives a clear
negative with plenty of detail. 2. The difference between chrome
alum and alum crystals is principally that chrome alum has twice
the strength of alum crystals, being a double salt, instead of the
commercial alum usually sold. Both chrome alum and alum crystals
are used for the same purpose in photography, for clearing and
hardening the film of the negative. 3. The date has not yet been
fixed for our next photographic contest, but we intend to have
another soon. 4. It is out of our province to pass judgment on any
kind of photographic apparatus. 5. Films may be kept from curling
by soaking them after they have been developed and before they
have been dried, in a solution of glycerine, 1/2 oz., distilled
water, 16 oz., for five minutes, and then drying as usual.
