. The half-tone process. A practical manual of photo-engraving in half-tone on zinc, copper, and brass. as a comet-ess collodion bottle, because of itsalleged property of trapping the floatingparticles which produce the spots onnown as comets.

The innerneck descends about an inch into thebottle, so that when pouring only theliquid on the surface runs out, the sedi-ment from the bottom of the bottle beingcaught by the projecting neck. There isa notch down the side of this neck sothat any collodion running over finds itsway back to the bottle. The tallness ofthis bottle assists the precipitation of any Fig-4Lsediment in the collodion. A tall bottle of conicalshape is also good for pouring collodion. There are some handy developing cups of glass tobe had. They nest within one another, and are soldin sets of three, large and small, and being of thicktoughened glass they are very durable.

Three or four bottles are for the developing solution, twofor the intensifying solution, and oneuse. Dont keep a lot of unnecessarybottles in the dark room—they only make the placeuntidy, and ren-
