364 IHE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [June 8, 1883. weights in grains, having the same molecular value as the grammes above quoted; and for information respecting other weights we refer our readers to pages 206 and 207 of this year’s issue of the Year-Book, under the heading— “ Tables for the Conversion of Grammes, Ounces, and Grains.” Standard Silver Solution. Silver nitrate Distilled water ... 262'353 grains ... 17,000 minims Standard Thio-cyanate Solutions. Ammonia thio-cyanate ... Distilled water 117-289 grains 17,000 minims or, Potassium thio-cyanate ... Distilled water ... 149-693 grains ... 17,000 minims The indicator used is ammonia ferric alum, ten per cent, solution. The object of using the indicator is to obtain a decided colour the moment the reaction is complete. One drop of the silver solution is sufficient to destroy the colour, and a similar quantity of the reagent will cause it to return; hence the extreme accuracy of this method beyond all others. Ammonia ferric alum is made as follows:—In an evaporating dish place 55 grammes of ferrous sulphate, 10 grammes of concentrated sulphuric acid, and 7 grammes of nitric acid sp. gr. 1-4 ; heat the mixture on a sand-bath, constantly stirring until it assumes a pastey consistency, and the red fumes, consisting of oxides of nitrogen, cease to be given off; remove from the sand-bath, and carefully add about 60 cub. cents, of dilute sulphuric acid (1 part of acid to 10 parts of water), warm until dissolved, then add 13 grammes of ammonium sulphate; when dissolved, filter the solution, and set aside to crystallize. The crystals, which separate out, have the following formulae :— (NH,),SO,Fe,(S0,)3+240H, A DAY IN MID-CHESHIRE WITH THE LIVERPOOL AMATEUR PHO fOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION. Tablet Hall, Holford Hall, PEOVER, and KNUTSFORD. BY A. W. BEER.* Any account of the last out-door meeting of the Liverpool Amateur Photographic Association must of necessity be short, and to a certain extent unsatisfactory. If photographic results are the only purpose of our excursions, we must admit that we might have done better ; but if social enjoyment and a day in the country count for anything, we had a good time. It was possible to find suitable subjects for the day’s work, both valuable, interesting, and picturesque. It was also within easy compass to make the requisite arrangements for reaching them, and likewise for “feeding internal fires ; ” but it was just a point beyond the powers of the nominal guide for the day to turn the sun fromh is course, or to still the relentless wind ; and in those two items we have the cause of any ill success. Leaving Liverpool Central Station at 9.30, we reached Knuts- ford about 11.0 ; and, as we were several members short of the number who had announced their intention to be present, we decided to exchange the comfortless ’bus provided for a more luxurious open barouche. The unpromising morning doubtless deterred one or two from joining the excursion, but as we drove out of Knutsford across the common, the sun shone brightly at intervals, and our drive to Tabley Old Hall was unusually pleasant. On leaving Knuts- ford we soon arrived at an old country lane shaded by high hedges and overhanging trees, with glimpses of park-like land between, passing here and there whitewashed thatched cottages perfectly smothered by their bloom of the fruit trees in their surrounding orchards, giving promise of many pretty pictures had the “atmospheric air” been more favourable. Still, along the quiet and shady lanes, the banks carpeted with primroses and wild flowers, and the plantations beyond blue with wild hyacinths, until a turn of the lane brings us before another cottage so picturesque and fascinating to the artistic eye, that all hands dismount to reconnoitre. Soon the majority of • Read before the Liverpool Amateur Photographic Association. cameras were at work, and Lord de Tabley’s favourite model cottage (as we were informed) made one of the bright spots of the day’s work. We shortly reached Tabley Old Hall and Church, standing upon an island in the mere—an old embattled Elizabethan brick house with stone terrace, and a black and white timbered in terior of porch or hall, showing traces of a still older erection. The interior of hall contains a most curious fireplace, with solid antique lanterns and stands of armour. Here we find not only far too much wind, but also the sun on the wrong side of the house; consequently but few plates were exposed, and these with varying success. But here, I am afraid, certain gastronomic claims interfered considerably with the enjoyment of the beauties of Tabley, and long desires became directed to a certain snug little hostelry where it had been decided that a frugal lunch should be despatched. Leaving the Old Hall and the woodland glades surrounding it shining in all their beauty in the mid-day sun, we drive back to our country inn, and there, while discuss ing the Cheshire and quaffing (good old word that!) the “ October,” we were joined by another member, who had been indulging in the solitary game of hunting the hounds and ran them to earth, as mentioned. Thus recruited, we were soon en route again, this time for Halford Hall, an old manor house of the Cholmondeley’s, about a mile and a-half further on the high road. This picturesque old pile is now used as a farm, as are many of the old Cheshire halls, and is considered one of the four finest specimens of old timber manor houses in Cheshire. The other three I take to be Carden, Moreton, and Bramhall. The portion at present remaining encloses a courtyard on two sides, one side of which has its upper storey supported on wooden pillars, this arrangement being somewhat unique. This interesting and antique house is completely surrounded by a moat, now dry, and used as an orchard, crossed by the stone bridge with recess and stone seats, shown in the photograph. Again we found the sun right in the eye of the camera, and, although plates were exposed as a matter of duty, no great success was anticipated. Again we collect and move on our pilgrimage, aiming for the old-world village of Peover Inferior, and drive straight to the church. This is an almost unique specimen of timber and plaster churches, with stone tower, date 1582. The church has been carefully restored, and has certainly lost nothing by the proceed ing, contrary to many so-called “restorations.” Here,fortu nately, the light was right, and the wind which, according to Southey, “had blown a gale all day, at evening it had died away," and the camera found full occupation. Regret was expressed that, owing to the lateness of the afternoon and the weak light from the small windows, no photograph could be secured of the beautiful and interesting interior of the church, with its carved black oak pillars, pulpit, and sides, all dressed in flowers and garlands. The day being now well advanced, it was agreed to forego visiting the Elizabethan Hall at Great Peover, and to drive back past cosy farm-houses and orchards loaded with bloom, through the radiating avenues of Toft Park, direct to Knutsford. After a tea of country fare in country style, we had a “ shot at the old “ Rose and Crown Inn,” in the main street of the town. Then, packing our traps in excursion style, we strolled down to the station, comfortably catching our train to reach Liverpool about 9.15 p.m. EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE ASTRONOMER ROYAL TO THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREENWICH.* The period to which the present Report refers comprises the twelve months ending 1883, May 20. Spectroscopic and Photographic Observations. —The spectro scopic observations during the past twelve months have been somewhat restricted through the pressure of the photographic reductions at a time of maximum of sun-spot frequency. The solar prominences have been observed with the half-prism spectrosaope on eight days, and four sun-spots have been examined on eight days with reference to the broadening of lines in their spectra. The spectrum of the great spot of 1882, November 12-25, showed some remarkable reversals of the lines of hydrogen and sodium, and an extraordinary displacement ot the F line.
