It may be fairly termed premature old age, as the lowering or toning down of the colour in wood and other materials seems to be caused by similar, if not identical, constituents of the ordinary atmosphere, but under different conditions. Another way is lay the pieces of wood upon a stove with a regulated heating power and watching for the exact degree of change in the colour with continued heat.
Give it a fair trial and you will agree that taking pictures the mere taking, with no bothering your head about developing, printing, toning and the like is a matter no more baffling than the simple art of learning to punch the letters on the keyboard of a typewriter.

She was bringing out the distinction, the suffering, the boyishness in his face, and toning down the queer little foreign air he had. Toning it, but not omitting it altogether. She was too good a showman for that.
"Perhaps he needs only a little toning down to be fit," put in Captain Forsythe, as he and the others drew near. "A few seasons with the hounds, or " "Chasing some poor little fox!" said the girl with light scorn. "One might be doing something worse!" "One might!" Her accents were dubious. "You don't believe in the chase, or the hunt?

They bent their heads. At intervals a sovereign stamp on the pulsation of the uproar said, distinct as a voice in the ear Cannon. "Milan's alive!"
