August 24, 1883. | 537 TSE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. gelatine process not being once alluded to. The end of the article is, however, much more satisfactory : that photo graphy " will not suffer daubs and scarecrows to placard themselves as creations of art with impunity ” is certainly true, no less than that our art has relieved the world “ from dependence, for its artistic adornment, on ergravings with out taste and paintings out of drawing.” “1 know the prints are permanent, but it is such a bother,” was the opinion of a photographer the other day, to whom we were speaking on the subject of the collodio- chloride process. He was quite right; he summed up the whole matter in the word “bother.” The only question is, whether to obtain permanent silver prints, is not worth some “bother”; most people evidently think not, and rub along with albumenized paper and its consequences. Last summer, it may be remembered, a chain of obser vatories was established around the North Pole. Nearly every European nation sent out observers and founded a station where meteorological and other records were to be secured throughout the whole year. One by one these observing parties are sending in news of their work during the hard and bitter winter through which they have passed in Spitsbergen, Novaya Zemlia, &c.; the Russian obser vers, who have inhabited Jan Mayen, reporting “perfect observations, rich collections, and taken geodetic and photographic views of the island.” Mr. M’Laren’s Bill for amending the law of copyright so far as photographs are concerned, is one of the shortest brought into Parliament during the present session. Here it is in its entirety : “The author of a photograph within the intention of the said Act (that is the existing Copyright Act) shall mean the person at whose house or studio, being a house or studio used for the purpose of taking or selling photographs, or by means of whose instruments and materials the negative thereof shall have been made, and who shall have been permitted or employed to make such negative by the person on whose behalf such photograph shall have been taken.” Nothing could be simpler than this, and the only question is whether in its simplicity it will cover all the complications which may arise out of different sets of circumstances. Who, for instance, will be the owner of a photographic copyright where a man makes a negative at a private house not “ used for the purpose of taking, selling, or taking photographs?” Suppose he uses somebody else’s apparatus and materials ; or, to make the matter more confusing, imagine him borrowing a friend’s camera, and using his own materials, or vice versa: who then holds the copyright ? Or, put the case of a painter employ ing a photographer to copy a picture, the photographs of which are to be sold, the artist simply paying the photo grapher for his camera and materials. One of those photo graphs is copied ; who in such a case would have to prosecute—the painter or the photographer ? In regard to sitters there is also a difficulty. The Copy right Amendment Bill of 1879, which never had the fortune of becoming law, had a clause prohibiting a photographer from exposing for sale or exhibiting in any way a photo graph made “ on the order of any person for a valuable con sideration ; ” and if the copyright was infringed, this person had equal rights with the proprietor of the copyright (in this case also the photographer) of taking proceedings in respect of the infringement. In the present Bill no such power is given, and apparently there is nothing to prevent a photographer from selling photographs of any noted person who may happen to sit to him. But, after all, it may be that in the very simplicity of the Bill may lie its value. It is quite impossible to legislate for every position which photographic copyright may assume, and any attempt so to do would land the question into a state of hopeless confusion. Making the proprietor of the apparatus by which the photograph is taken, or at whoso house the operation is performed, the proprietor of the copy right, may not be the best solution of the difficulty; but it is at any rate a tangible basis to work upon, and with this in view, arrangements could be easily come to by which the parties concerned would be protected. Bromine, or rather salts of bromine, have long been used in medicine ; now, its employment is proposed as a simple and effective disinfectant. A German chemist, Dr. Adolph Frank, of Charlottenburg, has busied himself in the prepara tion of what he calls solid bromine, which is simply clay or kieselguhr impregnated with bromine vapour. Kieselguhr, our readers may remember, is the infusorial earth employed in the preparation of dynamite, which explosive is, in fact, nothing more than seventy-five parts of nitroglycerine absorbed by twenty-five parts of this spongy clay. The “ Brom-Kieselguhr” contains also twenty-five per cent, of earth and seventy-five per cent, of bromine. It is suggested to employ this solid material in sick rooms, or where bad and dangerous odours prevail, to disinfect the air, the bromine vapour coming off freely from the clay. Unfortunately, the Daguerreotype process is in little favour just now, or the “Brom-Kieselguhr” would be a cheap and ready means of securing bromine vapour. Still, as photographers are now more than ever interested in bromide compounds, we do not hesitate to bring this new bromine generator to their notice. The Australian Speicher, in an amusing woodcut, sets forth a ludicrous difficulty that presents itself but too often to the portrait photographer. Rapa, mama, and baby, are being photographed in a group ; the photographer stands ready to expose, and with the view of inducing a happy expression on the little one’s face, he has assumed a cap and bells, is blowing a penny trumpet, and otherwise making a fool of himelf for the benefit of his sitter. But the result is anything but cheering ; the babe’s stolid face only grows more stolid and frightened as the antics of the photographer increase, while papa’s usual smirk subsides into an idiotic grin that reminds one more of a laughing baboon than the face of a reasonable mortal.
