panese Tissue may be purchased from most any artistsupply house at a few cents a sheet. I buy ii x 14 size whichwill cut to 5 X 7 with very little waste. Formulae for the sensitizing solution have been published indifferent photographic magazines from time to time, but Ithink the most economical for the average amateur worker isto buy a prepared solution. I have found that Soline, manufactured by Burke & James,of Chicago, is a very simple solution to use and it gives a coldsepia tone that is most desired in this line of work. To sensitize I lay a sheet of the tissue on a perfectly clean piece of glass and spread my sensitizer on with a large camels hair quill brush, or a piece of sponge fastened to a stick will work very well. Care must be taken to use a brush that hasno metal on it as metal coming in contact with the sensitizer oxidizes it and leaves a dark brown stain that cannot be re-moved. I usually prepare one dozen sheets at one time and hang upto dry with wooden clips. 188

Figure i.IN FAIRY LAND. Illustrating article Pictorial Sepia Prints on Japanese Tissue, by G. Arthur Tuttle. 189 After drying, the tissue may be packed in black paper andkept in a dry place, as it will work all right after being keptseveral weeks. Complete directions come with every bottle and with a littlepractice very pleasing results may be obtained as may be seenby the prints accompanying this article. (Figures i and 2.) In mounting different eftects are obtained by first mountingon colored paper such as red for sunsets, green for sea views,and blue for evening and moonlight scenes. The tissue beingpartly translucent shows just enough of the color through togive the desired tint to the picture and is then mounted onwhatever colored mount best suits the worker.
