THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 127 Mr. Payne read a paper on “ Our Association,” referring to the opinions of some of the members that the meeting room was unsuitable. Mr. Payne said he had given the matter considerable attention, and had come to the conclusion that the room was not so much at fault as the members themselves ; there was no doubt whatever that we were exceedingly fortunate in possessing such a home. Complaints had been made that there was an absence of interest taken in the discussions and various matters brought before the Association ; but if we were afraid to speak on a matter, or enter into discussion, we must blame our selves for the silence. If members would contribute a little more to the interest of the meetings, and make more use of the Association by soliciting or offering advice on various topics, and by bringing samples of work, good, bad, or indifferent—for all were equally instructive—they would effectually help their fellow-members to gain information themselves, and banish complaint. Mr. Payne concluded by proposing “ That it be the custom, excepting special occasions, to devote half-ar-hour each ordinary meeting for questions and general discussion; and he would have it understood that every member be expected to bring some object of interest, whether negatives, prints, or novelties in apparatus. Mr. J. P. Gibson seconded the proposal, and said he thought Mr. Payne deserved the thanks of the Association for bringing the subject forward. Mr. Payne exhibited some fine photographs of pottery, and some stereoscopic transparencies, the latter on collodio-albumen plates. A conversation ensued with regard to stereoscopic pic tures generally, in which Messrs. Payne, Sawyer, Laws, and the Chairman took part. Mr. Laws showed an excellent photograph representing the crib (surrounded by figures) included in the decorations at St. Dominic’s (Catholic) Church last month, taken under con siderable difficulty, and by the aid of artificial light only—viz., three Argand burners, four kerosene lamps, several wax candles, and magnesium ribbon (for about one-sixth of the exposure, seventy minutes) ; lens used, a 10 by 8 rapid rectilinear. Votes of thanks to Mr. Payne, Mr. Lyddell Sawyer (for con tribution of photographs), and to the Chairman, concluded the meeting. London and Provincial Photooraphic Association. At a meeting of the above Association, held at Mason’s Hall Tavern, 15th February, 1883, Mr. W. Cobb occupied the chair. Mr. Brown showed a plate-box, illustrating further improve ment of the one shown by Mr. Cowan at a previous meeting ; the box was constructed of cardboard, and was about a quarter of an inch larger than the plates intended to be packed in it; the ends of the cards forming the sides were cut and folded so as to form a substitute for the wooden uprights in Mr. Cowan’s box, and the plates were packed back to back as in the original box. Mr. Ashman passed round two prints with a highly-glazed surface, obtained by dusting powdered talc on to a piece of glass, then squeegeeing the print on to it directly it was removed from the washing trough; after one hour the print fell off with the surface as exhibited. The prints required to be mounted dry; he preferred an india-rubber solution for the purpose. Mr. Henderson suggested that the method demonstrated by Mr. Cowan at a previous meeting would be best for the purpose. If prints were mounted on thin card, and laid against each other, or passed through a burnisher, a gloss would be obtained equal to those shown by Mr. Ashman. It was remarked that prints which had been gelatinized were not so permanent as those which had not been so treated, which Mr. Haddon attributed to the absorptive nature of gelatine. Mr. Barker thought that gelatinizing preserved prints if a neutral gelatine was used, but if an acid one, then the prints would fade, owing to the acidity. Mr. Harrison showed a universal gauge for cutting plates to any required size. Mr. R. L. Sims was elected a member. Manchester Photographic Society. THR ordinary monthly meeting of this Society was held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday, the 8th inst., the President, Mr. v W• Leigh, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Mr. G. J. Johnson read a very interesting paper on “ Photo micrography ” (see page 108), exhibiting the apparatus necessary for the production of photo-micrographs, and describing at some length the difficulties to contend with, and how he had surmounted most of them. Mr. Johnson then commenced his lecture, which was illustrated by many dozens of photographs of his own produc tion, which bore favourable comparison with others by professional artists. The lecturer gave a considerable amount of credit to Mr. J. Pollitt, whose valuable assistance he had secured. The first slides shown were an illustration of chromatic rays, produced by the bisulphide of carbon prism, which were fnlly explained by the lecturer. These were followed by diagrams of heat, light, and actinic rays, prisms of glass, and a splendid drawing of Dr. Woodward’s studio, upwards of a hundred photo-micrographs following, the nature of which Mr. Johnson explained. The photographs were thrown upon the screen by the Honorary Secretary, who was complimented by Mr. Johnson, Mr. Pollitt, and other members, on the able management of the lantern and the excellent definition given. Mr. W. J. Chadwick explained that he used achromatic meniscus lenses of long focus, with a diaphragm in front, which he had found superior to most portrait lenses so generally in use with optic lanterns. A vote of thanks to Mr. Johnson was unanimously carried. The Chairman exhibited two very large specimens of photo gravure, by Messrs. Goupil and Co., Paris, which were universally admired. He also passed round several prints on the rough paper supplied by the Platinotype Company from 11 by 9 negatives. The paper was considered by many to be more suitable for the style of picture than that of finer grain. The Hon. Secretary exhibited, on behalf of Mr. J. J. Atkinson, Liverpool, three instantaneous shutters, viz., the Kirkby, Miller, and Bocas, the latter of which is provided with an ingenious arrangement for correctly timing the exposure from a fraction of a second to three seconds. Mr. Chapman showed one of Watson and Son’s snap shutters. These much interested the members, and a vote of thanks to the exhibitors was cordially agreed to. Owing to the lateness of the hour, other contributions had to be postponed until the next meeting. Zlk in the Studis. South London Photographic Society.—At the next meet ing, to be held at the House of the Society of Arts on Thursday, March 1st, at 8 p.m., some arrangements for using the electric light for the developing room will be exhibited. The use. of the gas engine and electric light apparatus of the Society of Arts has kindly been promised, so that members can make some experimental exposures by electric light should they desire to do so. Egyptian Heroes.—Messrs. West and Co., of Gosport, have secured a very characteristic picture of the Egyptian heroes who paraded before Her Majesty on the occasion of her visit to Portsmouth. Sara Bernhardt’s French advertising agent can give odds to the one she had in this country. A Paris illustrated paper was recently publicly forbidden to publish the copy of a photograph which Sarah had taken of herself in her coffin. The paper was threatened with the law and with confiscation, if it had offended. But as it had never so much as thought of such a thing it quickly understood that it was an advertisement for the actress. She went so far as to have the police at the newspaper office. It is not known whether the newspaper paid half the expense, for it got half the benefit of the advertisement. Other news papers are anxious for similar favours from her.—Detroit Free Dress. In re The Photographic Artists’ Co-operative Supply Association.—There were two petitions for the winding-up of the Company, on the ground that it was insolvent, and was being carried on at a loss. Mr. Romer, Q.C., and Mr, Boome for the petitioner ; Mr. Ince, Q.C., and Mr. Bramwell Davis for the Company. His Lordship said that he had heard a great deal about the Company, and as to how it had been conducted. He had been told by the provisional liquidator that if the Company were now wound up, the creditors would be paid in full; but if it went on, and the claim of Captain Kerr for past salary were insisted on, there would be a deficiency. In these circumstances he would make a winding-up order. He would stay drawing up the order, in deference to the wish of the parties, pending the
