400 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [June 22, 1883. A Winter Scene.—King Frost had waved his magic wand over Bampton Briars. It was as if the old village had been crystallized. The square grey tower of the church, distinctly visible through the bare twigs of elm and lime, glistened bright and silvery in the white winter sunshine, and the thatched roofs of cottage and barn, no longer sombre slopes of brown and black, seemed wrought of satin woof. The pool on the green by the blacksmith’s was hard and black as shining ebony, and the green itself a crisp carpet of matted silver blades, each tiny grass point sparkling with a thousand brilliants. The stout country carts, painted red and blue, always to be found by the smithy door, appeared to more gorgeous advantage than ever, and even the dark timbers of the forge supplied a contrast, and added to the beauty of the frosted village. In the lanes, the hedgerows glistened with the cold lustre of ice crystals. Every twig was a bar of frosted silver. Spiders seemed to have spun white lace of the finest texture, instead of colourless web, and the trailing ivy, like the discontented pine tree in the fable, had exchanged its green for leaves of argent and alabaster. Every shrub and leaflet had fringed itself with white, and there was no outline so rugged that had not its delicate filagree of frost. The clear air above, so crisp and cold was it, as fairly to intoxicate pedestrian or rider who traversed this scene of enchantment under the pale blue sky. The ice-bound earth echoed with every footstep, and the deep clay ruts in road and lane seemed moulded of iron. The sunbeams, striking aslant the crystal-bedizened country, dazzling as they shone, were powerless to dissolve the fairy splendour of the realms of King Frost. Daylight began to wane, and the air to strike more chill. Village urchins, with necks swathed in woollen comforters, and hands deep in breeches pockets, but for the most part still in smocks, who had made the round of the church and outlying homesteads to see these familiar objects under their new guise, returned ouce more indoors, where blazing fires and cheerful lights were more con genial ; and elders, as was their wont on the first tidings of winter, talked together in knots about hard weather agone and yet to come—the well-remembered winter twenty years ago, when a dozen feet of snow lay close against the blacksmith’s forge, and no post came to Bampton Briars for a week, as well as that never-to-be-forgotten Christmastide of ’44, when the vicarage was burnt to the ground on the occasion of rejoicings consequent upon Dr. Bowles’ induction to the parish, every drop of water far and near being frozen. Those old-fashioned winters never came now. They had gone out with the good old stock, when boys were content to look to the land like their fathers, and not gad about after education, and girls were content to appear in the gowns their mothers wore, and had no hankerings after bonnets and ribbons, and the cheap fallals of to-day.—The Doctor’s Daughter, by Baden Pritchard, in South London Press. Photograph of Mr. Gladstone’s Speech on the Affirma tion Bill.—The People’s Penny Paper (Arbroath) states that Mr. W. J. Anckorn, Brothock Bank, Arbroath, has produced a photographic “ delineation ” of Mr. Gladstone’s great speech in the House of Commons on the Affirmation Bill. The speech extends to 15 pages of print. It is reduced in the photograph to 7 pages, the reading of each measuring 2 inches by 1. The whole speech is compressed within this space, and it is quite readable. The photographs are neatly mounted. A copy has been sent to Mr. Gladstone by Mr. Anckorn, who has received the following acknowledgment from the Prime Minister’s Secretary :—Mr. Gladstone desires me to acquaint you that the copy of the photographed miniature edition of his speech which you have been kind enough to send him has duly come to hand, and he begs that you will accept his thanks for your courtesy in the matter. He is glad to possess a copy of this work, of which the execution seems so creditable.” An Old Story Retold.—A correspondent of Waterbury (Conn.) American, writing from Watertown, says that Mr. Benjamin Marvin, of that town, in splitting a log of black oak, observed a picture on the smooth grain in the heart of the tree. It is a landscape, or rather a clump of trees, with trunk and branches and twigs as clearly defined as though drawn with ink, or photographed by the sun’s rays. The trees form a picture about four inches square, showing like the open leaf of a book, and the same on the opposite page. Mr. Marvin says it is a pretty good portraiture of the clump of trees which he felled, the picture appearing in the heart of the largest one.— Scientific American. PHOTOGRAPHIC Club.—At the next meeting of this Club, on Wednesday next, June 27th, the subject for discussion will be “ Consideration of Landscape Lenses,” adjourned from last meeting. Ol Gorresgonenis. *** We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. F. H.—They are probably due to minute metallic particles in the paper, silver being liberated by the re-action of the nitrate upon these. C. W. D. P.—We should recommend you to obtain a simple drop shutter with a pneumatic release, and an arrangement by which india-rubber bands can be so placed as to give increased rapidity. When a very slow drop is required, the shutter can be placad obliquely. 2. We think what you refer to is too complex for general work. F. Hoare.—It is probable that you have not carried the toning process far enough; but such changes in tint can only be allowed for by the exercise of careful judgment. I. C. J.—We will publish full working details of a thoroughly practi cal process next week, and should you experience any difficulty, we shall be pleased to give you any further help. Young Ignorant.—The ordinary Prussian blue water-colour, worked up in the usual way with water, and applied with the tip of a good sable brush. E. Williams.—Thank you for the pictures; and we shall value those which you propose to send. Iago.—We cannot describe in words the appearance of a fully developed negative. Either ask some one to show you some negatives, or send us your results, with a number attached to each plate. W. S. C.—Nothing of the kind is published at present. M. Warren.—1. It may be as you say, but we considerably doubt it. Carefully read the article which appeared three weeks ago. 2. You seem to forget that in all ordinary cases the glass is covered with a thin film of moisture, and this has doubtless determined the reaction. 3. If you provide a screen to shade off the top light, the result is likely to be satisfactory. 4. Quite an old notion, and certainly erroneous. Chrome.—The drying was effected at too high a temperature ; do not let it rise above 140° F. As regards the drying-box itself, we can hardly advise without having some notion as to its con struction ; but such an one as is usually employed for emulsion work is not likely to be suitable. Beginner.—We advise you to make your first attempts with a portrait lens. 2. Yes, if it can be easily softened by soaking in warm water. Cartwright.—There is no standard of value to which you can refer in such a case, but we imagine that any photographer resid ing in the neighbourhood could give you some notion. P. L. W.—There is always some loss of light from absorption, but notwithstanding this, you would do well to continue using the instrument. A. Good.—1. Whether an actual and definite chemical compound is formed or not, is still an open question; but it is certain that no kind of separation or practical deterioration occurs when the substance is thoroughly washed with Warm water. 2. Looked at from a practical point of view, it is at present of but little value. B. J. Jordan.—Damp is the most probable source of mischief, so you had better wrap the packages in tin or lead foil. Chas. Taplin.—Omit the oil. Blackbromian.—1. You can obtain Judea bitumen from any dealer in photographic chemicals. 2. Hardly steady and stout enough for everyday work. 3. Try once more, working by the same process, and sending us the resulting picture. Robert M .—1. Write to the gentleman himself. 2. Sulphur is far too brittle to answer the purpose satisfactorily ; but you can somewhat increase its toughness by incorporating an inert powder—as for example, bath-brick dust—with it. 3. Either next week or the following week. Adam Edlerson.—No doubt the greater part of the ether has evaporated, and the residue consists principally of alcohol. To commence with, you might add one-fourth of its bulk, and the ether used should be anhydrous. L. Probyn.—Reduce the time of exposure considerably ; perhaps one-fourth will be sufficient. Retoucher.—1. Your suggestion appears to us to be an excellent one, and we shall be glad to receive the notes to which you refer. 2. We will obtain particulars, and forward them by post. T. Slipper.—As the salt is practically insoluble in alcohol, we imagine you must have made a mistake. Rex.—1. A coating of plain collodion. 2. Yes. 3. No details have been published yet, but we shall take care to give our readers the earliest information.
