October 2, 1885.) THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 637 seen. They turn out several tons of ice daily; yet, curiously, they do not use it in plate-making. Their water is drawn from agery deeP well, and the temperature all the year round is I also looked into a couple of stock houses* At Mr. Mason’s I saw (and ordered one) a very good studio camera stand. At McGhee and Bolton’s I noticed a new washing machine for prints. A model of the same I place before you for inspection. From Glasgow I returned to Edinburgh, w'iere I had the pleasure of attending one of the Monday evenings at Mr. Mathe son’s (an enthusiastic amateur). I enjoyed it very much, meet ing many old friends. I had the good fortune to attend a meeting of the Edinburgh Photographic Club. A good deal of time was taken up in discussing the altera 1 , ions of one of the rules. Many novelties had to be carried over to he next meet ing. I think the Club should meet weekly, and that they should enlarge the circle—in fact, make it open to all. Some of the members think it would ruin the Society. I am not of that opinion, as the societies in London have not degenerated in consequence of the clubs. NOTE ON PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK AT HOTELS. BY F. PARTRIDGE. I have been compelled, during the past two years, to do a very large amount of work in rooms such as I find at country hotels, with such conveniences as the hotel affords or I could carry in an ordinary grip-sack. The first thing that I put into it was two or three strips of black cotton cloth—silesia, or something of that sort. Each piece I made usually about six feet long by a yard wide. Those answered to darken windows, &c., by means of a few tacks, which I added to my kit. I could darken win dows, I could shut out electric lights, could stop up transoms, and be independent of any outside light, though in some cases— one I remember in Baltimore particularly—1 have had to take the blankets from the bed, the bedclothes and sheets, and make a dark-room in that ■way. The next thing was a light, for I carried no candle and no ruby lantern. I had two or three pieces of ruby paper folded in such a way and put in my valise that when I was ready to make a lantern I could fold it up in a square and put a tin plate on the top, or else roll it up and set a tin plate on the top; and, then, as I came in at night, I bought a couple of candles at the grocery, and was prepared for my work. One advantage was, that the candles were not very hot, and the paper was lighter, and packed in a smaller space than I have ever seen a ruby lantern. In fact, they occupied about twice the space that that sheet of paper does. When one is in the country, one often finds himself nonplused for lack of water. I have successfully washed plates with less than a pitcher full of water to pour on them. I have washed six plates in an evening by putting them into a wash-bowl, face down, two edges together, cob-house fashion ; changed that water once or twice during the evening, and found the hypo eliminated sufficiently so that the plates have kept eighteen months; six plates in that way can be washed in one bowl of water after having got them clean by pouring water from the pitcher upon them. To those of us who have been in the habit of washing for hours in running water, that seems remarkable, perhaps, but the film being face down affords the very best opportunity for the dissolved hypo to fall directly from the plate.—Anthony s Bulletin. e— Correspondence. PAPER NEGATIVES. Sir,—In your leading editorial article of September 4th upon Paper Negatives, you allude to the difficulty some times experienced in obtaining sharp prints from paper negatives. Permit me to call your attention to the fact that this difficulty may be overcome by drying the nega tive upon a smooth flat surface, such as talced glass, or polished hard rubber. Negatives so prepared have a smooth glossy surface without cockles, ami go into contact with the albumen paper without undue pressure. The large prints shown by the Eastman Dry Plate and 1 ilm Company at the Inventions Exhibition were made from paper negatives prepared in this way ; and no great difficulty has been experienced in making prints from such negatives as large as 20 by 40 inches. Polished sheets of hard rubber or ebonite are better for the purpose than glass prepared with talc, for the reason that the negative is not liable to stick to the rubber, as it sometimes does to the glass in spite of all care that may be used.—Yours respectfully, George Eastman. MR. BOTTONE’S PHOTO-MICROGRAPHS. Dear Sir,—Since Mr. Walmsley has given the measure ment of his dung-fly's foot, and of the field of his quarter objective with the A ocular, all becomes quite clear in his statements. My triplet, with the A ocular, has a field of 188, of an inch. (My micrometer is one of Stanley’s, and is divided to l,OOOths.) Of course there are triplets and triplets. But I shall be happy to mail one to Mr. Walmsley or any other reader of the Photographic News for a Post Office Order for ten shillings, and will choose it myself, so that I shall be able to guarantee it to be equal in performance to the one with which I ex ecuted the foot under discussion. The foot from which I took the photograph alluded to measures, fiom tip of long hair to end of second joint, exactly 188, of an inch ; from the tip of one claw to the tip of the other, 16′866 of an inch. I fully agree with Mr. Walmsley as to the propriety of giving the exact magnifica tion of any given representation ; but he must bear in mind that I am not responsible for the minification to which Messrs. Meisenbach found it necessary to subject my correctly measured photographs in order to reduce them to the size of a Photographic News supplement.— Stanley Hoad, Carshalton. S. Bottone. THE ROYAL CORNWALL POLYTECHNIC EXHIBITION. Dear Sir,—I am glad to notice that the Committee of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Sociely have temporarily abandoned Rule 7 in their “Regulations for Competition.” It was a most objectionable rule, and has prevented many from competing after having taken a medal the previous year ; and although the same exhibitor has again obtained the first silver medal, I trust the Committee will not let this act prevent them in permanently confirming the wise course they have taken this year. I am sure they will continue in obtaining a still larger number of exhibits and higher standard of work if they adopt this course, which no doubt will be highly gratifying to all photographers.— 4, Richmond Terrace, Derby. H. Jarvis. 2roceedings of Socteties. London and PROVINCIAL PHOTOGRAPIIIC Association. A meeting of this Society was held on Thursday, the 24th inst., J. Barker in the chair. A. Haddon gave an interesting account of a recent trip to Paris. There was no difficulty, he said, in taking gelatine plates by the route over which he passed—viz , Newhaven and Dieppe —but the officials were more strict at Newhaven on the return journey. Being informed of this, he explained the nature and contents of his packages to the inspector, who allowed them to pass unopened, the officials contenting themselves by closely scrutinising the remainder of his baggage. He advised con tinental tourists to deal fairly with the Custom House officials, and their plates would be passed through in safety. He then spoke of the necessity for special permits from the Hotel de Ville authorities when negatives of public buildings or gardens were desired; nevertheless, they secured two views in the Bois de Boulogne while waiting for a permit. Street views, taken from the roof of an omnibus, did not require a permit. He used a piece of cardboard turned up at each end as a view meter, one end carrying the sight, and the other a rectangular aperture large enough to include the subject.
