I seldom clean it off the prints;instead, after the print is dry, coat the whole print with thesame varnish which gives it a slight sheen, giving transpar-encies to the shadows as does the waxing solutions now so ex-tensively used. If any of the readers of the Annual who have occasion forlocal reduction or intensification will give this method a trialthev will find that verv satisfactorv results can be obtained. 220. MAY DAY.
