By printing these' transparencie,-. on the new paper—which is called "Utocolour,"-.ind is the invention of Hi';' ,1. H. Smith, im Khglislnnan—a' henutifn'lcoloured photograph is, it is claimed, ob>' tailied by a simple chemical process.' jMilk and butler, so a recent book called "Good Cheer" tolls li.--, were not alw.iyit daily necessities, as with ns: Our fifteenth century ancestors in Mnglimd set. doni used rillirr.
