In the oppressive heat of a sultry suu, the monument to the memory of the best known of the inventors of photography was inaugurated on Sunday last at Cormeilles-en-Parisis. The natal village of Daguerre for some days past had lived a life of excitement, and the principal street was ornamented with Venetian masts and gay flags to com memorate the work of one who has made the little place famous. The official train from Paris was timed to start at five minutes past noon, so as to bring down visitors to Cor- meilles in plenty of time for the inauguration, which was fixed for 2 p.m.; but many ladies and gentlemen drove over from the metropolis. M. Letellier, the president of the “ Socit Franaise des Archives Photographiques, ’ was the executive officer in command, and among those who assisted at the demonstration were M. Hemant, of the Ministry of Fine Arts ; Baron Cottu, the Prefect of the department; the civil authorities of Cormeilles, together with most of the leading photographers of Paris. The statue, raised by voluntary contributions collected from all parts of the world, was erected on a small open space opposite the house where Daguerre was born, which little spot, in his honour, has now been called the Place Daguerre. The memorial consists of a pedestal some six or seven feet in height, surmounted by a bust in bronze, the work of the well-known sculptor Capellaro ; it has been exhibited during the season at the Salon, and has frequently been commended as an excellent work of art. On the pedestal were the dates 1789 — the year of Daguerre’s birth—and 1883. The ceremony of unveiling was a very short one. The visitors were received about half-past one by the municipal officers of Cormeilles, and, preceded by the Orpheonists of Franconville, marched to the Mairie, or townhalf, where a vin (Thonneur was offered by the town. Thence the pro cession made its way to the Place Daguerre, where the Orpheonists commenced proceedings by chanting a cantata of M. Louis Lebey. M. Letellier then unveiled the bust, making a speech in honour of Daguerre and his work, which was frequently interrupted and applauded by the large gathering around. Other official speeches followed, but the heat of the day somewhat interfered with the progress of events, for many of the visitors, unable longer to stand the glare and oppression of the sun—which was there in full force to do honour to the invention of “ sun-drawing ”—moved away to the hospitable refreshment shelters, to slake their thirst and enjoy the welcome shade. A banquet followed the ceremony at six o’clock, after the drawing of a tombola and the distribution of com memorative medals to the orpheonists and other visitors of the spectacle. Altogether the affair proved very suc ¬ cessful, albeit, at one time, a discordant element seemed to threaten the harmony of the proceedings ; this was no less than the publication, by a grandson of Niepce, of the old agreement entered into between Niepce and Daguerre on the subject of their work, and with which our readers are already familiar. In this partnership arrangement the process of photography is alluded to as “ invented by Niepce, and improved by Daguerre,” and this statement is brought forward to prove that to the former, and not to the latter, is honour due. No one more than ourselves would be ready to acknowldge the great work of Nice phore Niepce; but, for all that, Cormeilles has reason to be proud of its statue to Daguerre, who is certainly entitled to rank as one of the greatest pioneers in photography. MIXING THE ALUM AND HYPO BATHS. One of the many things that perplexes the photographer is the number of contradictory practices adopted by different members of the profession. Let us take a notable example. One man is in the habit of placing his negatives, after washing, into the alum bath for the purpose of destroying the last trace of hypo ; his neighbour places the plate, after development and rinsing, into a mixture of alum and hypo, to perform the processes of hardening and fixing at one operation. Now so directly contradictory are these two practices, that the photographer is puzzled. A few weeks back we gave a short article, speaking favourably of the fixing bath containing hypo. Subsequent experiments, carried out, moreover, dnring the rec ent hot weather, have led us to somewhat modify the opinion we then expressed. The number of photographers who mix the alum and hypo, baths together is comparatively few ; but the manner in which the question crops up now and again would tend to show that the practice deserves attention. It may not be out of place, therefore, to bring up the subject again, and in so doing to draw our readers’ attention to a few simple experiments. Take two glass vessels; into one of them pour saturated solutions of alum and hypo., the alum solution being in excess; into the other vessel pour the two solutions as before, but let the hypo be in excess. Now watch the result—no change takes place at once, but if the solution is at all warm, very speedily both solutions begin to get milky, and this milkiness gradually increases; further, if the vessels be brought near the nose, a faint sul phurous smell is distinctly perceptible. Now take a gelatino-bromide plate that has been evenly coated, cut it into three pieces, and, to make the result still more conclusive, soak all three pieces in water for five minutes or more ; soak one piece in alum solution for about a minute, and well wash under the tap. Place this I piece and one of the other pieces in fresh hypo, solution ;
