Uo orrespondents. *.* We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. S. E. A.—It is cut in the direction of the width of the sheet, and you have a sample of paper that stretches very unequally. Both pictures are distorted, but in different directions. A. Webster.—T he former we have used, and we know that it can be depended upon ; the latter we have not even heard of. A. R.—It is very good of you to send us the information, and we may ask you for more; and we shall be glad to reproduce the picture, either as a supplement, or as a block, H. G. P.—It seems to us that the spots are due to some injurious materials in the mount. To test them, divide some prints into halves, and mount one set on the new mounts, and the other on your old stock mounts. Take care that the remaining conditions are the same, and note the result. If the new mounts turn out faulty, and they were supplied by a firm dealing in photographic requisites, and knowing for what purpose they were to be used, you can probably not only return the mounts, but claim damages for loss of time, material, and reputation. If, on the other hand, you obtained the mounts from an ordinary stationer, you will have no claim, as he could not be supposed to know for what purpose you required them. When goods are supplied for a known and definite purpose, there is an implied guarantee that they are fit for that purpose. J. E. L.—1. The process is as you suppose. 2. Sugar is better than gum-arabic. 3. Dry over chloride of calcium; that is to say, support the glass film downwards over a tray of dry chloride of calcium, and enclose the whole in an air-tight box. It should dry in about eight hours. When the chloride of calcium becomes moist, dry it in a shovel or frying-pan over a clear fire. Write again if yon experience any difficulty. W. A. W.—Thanks for the sample. B. M. A.—Have nothing to do with any such processes; all we have investigated have proved frauds, and that you mention is one of the worst. The vendors merely give information which has appeared time after time in the photographic publications. We will try and look up some back numbers of the News with the information you require, if you will say just what you want to do. Y. A. Cooke.—You need not hesitate to take either course, and you are not likely to lose anything by taking advantage of the economy affrdedby the second alternative. C. D. T. P.—The agreement to purchase materials for them alone practically amounts to paying a royalty, and in attempting to in duce you to agree to pay this indirect royalty after the patent has expired, they are acting in a very reprehensible manner. The attention of the Board of Trade (Patent Department) ought to be called to the matter Lux.—All you say might have some little interest if you either signed your name, or mentioned that of the individual who in spires you. As it is, all your “I thinks,” and “lam sures," and “ I fears,” have merely descended on to that portion of the flooring where the waste paper basket ought to be. How would it be for you to show us what you can do ? A Beginner.—It is a difficult case. First make as good a trans parency as you are able, as a reserve in case of further injury, and then soak the negative in a solution of cyanide of potassium, about 4 grains to the ounce of water. Finally, wash away the cyanide. W. H. B.—Registration st Stationers’ Hall is sufficient. Our Publishers undertake the matter for a fee of Is. 6d. for each photograph. Amateur of a Few Weeks’ Experience (Stoke-on-Trent).— We sympathize with you in your difficulties, and trust thataftera few months you will be able to send us a pan of triumph framed on the young arithmetician’s lament. Let us hope your lyre will soon refuse to respond to such a theme as— u Intensification is vexation, Reduction is as bad ; Exposure, how it puzzles me, "While development drives me mad.” Aotographs legistered. Mr. R. Hammond (Bacup)—Photo. Group of Irwell Springs’ Foot Ball Club. Mr. T. R. BRAYBROOKE (West Hartlepool)—Photo, of Hartlepool. Mr. H. J. Godbold (St. Leonard’s)—2 Phntos. of Lucille Dudley. Mr. A. W. Cox (Beeston, Notts.)—2 Photos, of Mr. J. Lee; 2 Photos, of Mr. R. Cripps. Uhe Ahotographic Jews. SUBSCRIPTIONS. Including Postage to any part of the United Kingdom:— Yearly ... 15s.
