AvGUsT 14, 1885.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS 521 under control than with wet, and possibly the Society’s photograph of the ‘‘Tabard” was on a collodion plite. The etcher has of course an immense advantage over the photographer, as he can leave out anything which is in artistic, or alter its outline so as to assist the composition. A slight touch, a light put in, or a shadow, will often do this. He need not also be too rigidly accurate in matters of perspective, and can get more into his picture than the eye of a person standing on the ground can take in at one glance. The photographer has no such latitude allowed him. With all these drawbacks, however, we do not see why the photographsof the Society should not be appreci ated, unless it be due to the hideous colour of the mount ing boards. The Society’s productions are certainly got up in a most unattractive form. A curious speculation was started the other day by a medical friend, to whom we were showing a photograph of a group of three persons who occupied the photographer the entire day, owing to the difficulty of obtaining a nega tive in which one of the three had not moved. “ What,” asked our friend, “ would be the mathematical chance of a person moving whilst being photographed, and in what ratio would that chance increase as the number of persons being photographed together was added to?” We were obliged to confess that the question had never occurred to us before. No doubt such a calculation could be made, since the doctrine of probabilities must come in here as in other things ; but the difficulty would be to find data to go upon. If every photographer had kept a record of every negative spoilt through the sitter moving, one might have a few statistics which would determine the point. But what dismal recollections, what horrible memories of bad language in the dark room, what consequent injuries to the nervous system, such a record would indicate ! We really have not the heart to suggest that henceforth every photographer should note the number of times the misery occurs, even to give him the gratification of knowing the chance to ever so many decimal places of its happening every time he takes a photograph. We are constantly hearing of photographs on behalf of which it is claimed that they are “ the largest in the world.” The American Government—always eager, it is popularly supposed, “ to lick creation ”—make the latest claim to a “ biggest on record,” in a photographic sense. It is exhibiting at the New Orleans Exposition a scries of views of the public buildings at Washington, taken under its superintendence, which are 7 feet long by 5 feet wide. The practice of photographing statesmen in their studies, painters in their studios, and authors in their libraries, has now become general, and the glimpse behind the scenes thus afforded is evidently appreciated by the public, who much prefer portraits of celebrities with the realistic backgrounds and surroundings furnished by the said cele brities’ own homes. As supply inevitably endeavours to meet demand, we may shortly expect, then, that the above notion will be developed, and that not only artists and politicians, but actors and athletes, dancers and divines, judges and jockeys, will all be taken in the midst of the surroundings they are most associated with. Patent ntelligence. Applications for Letters Patent. 9286. William Thomas Morgan and Robert LEaNON KIDD, Kew Foot Road, Richmond, Surrey, for “ A roller camera slide or carrier for use in producing photographic negatives on paper or any flexible support in rolls or lengths.’’—4th August, 1885. 9288. Ernest Edward Pickard, 89, Malpas Road, Brockley, Kent, for “ Improvements in apparatus for carrying and exposing photographic dry plates.”—4th August, 1885. 9505. George LoWDEN, 65, Reform Street, Dundee, for “ Shutter for photographic lenses.”—10th August, 1885. Patent Sealed. 14156. George Percival Smith, Beechholm, Tunbridge Wells, for “ Improvements in photographic apparatus.”—Dated 25th October, 1884. Specifications Published during the Week. 13,156. James William Thomas Cadett, Mechanical Engineer, 84, Grove Lane, Camberwell, Surrey, for “ New or improved arrangements applicable to photographic shutters whereby the duration of exposure can be varied.”—Datedl3th October, 1884. Por slow and moderately fast exposures, stops or catches are so arranged on a photographic shutter that, when the exposing or uncovering part of the shutter is liberated, by moving or pressing a lever or levers, or liberating catch or catches, the exposing or uncovering part of the shutter is opened or moved, so as to give exposure, and then kept open, or in condition to give exposure by a catch or stop, or catches or stops, until the lever or levers, or liberating catch or catches, is or are again moved, or pressed, or released. When quick exposures are to be made, the catch or stop, or catches or stops, for keeping the exposing or uncovering part of the shutter open, or in condition of giving exposure, is or are put or moved out of gear or action, so that when the exposing or uncovering part of the shutter is liberated by moving or pressing the lever or levers, or liberating catch or catches, the exposing or uncovering part of the shutter can open or move, so as to give exposure, and then without necessitating further movement of the lever or levers, or liberating catch or catches, close, or move, so as to cease giving exposure. 12,855. William Watts, of Norman Villa, Burlington Road, Withington, in the County of Lancaster, Silversmith, for “Improvements in camera tripods or supports.”—Dated 27th September, 1884. The patentee says:—My invention relates to the portable folding tripods or stands employed to sustain cameras when in use, and has for its principal object to render such stands more portable and compact when folded and out of use. To this end I so construct the parts as that, when folded, the stand may be made to assume the shape of a walking stick. I make each of the three sections of the stand of such a shape as that, when arranged together, the sections form a round or cylindrical body. Each section consists of two parts, one part being fitted to slide within the other. In practice, I should make the one part of metal, as, for example, of drawn brass tubing, and the other part of a suitable tough and light wood. Each tubular part is formed at its upper end to engage with the tripod top, to which the camera is secured. This top is formed with three spring clip arms, which have grooves to receive wire or metal staples on the tops of the sections. Sliding sleeves, screws, or other means tighten the clips upon the staples. For convenience of manu facture, I may make the said top of two stamped pieces of sheet brass riveted or secured together in the central part. The upper ends of the sections are arranged to be held together by means of a suitable cap, sleeve, or ring. In one construction I so form the upper end of each section as that, when the sections are fitted together, a socket is formed which can be tapped so that a knob, handle, or cap, provided with a sleeve to enclose the upper ends of the section, can be screwed on to the top of the
