July 17, 1868.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 347 stated in our Philadelphia contemporary that “ twenty-six days in May it rained, consequently the photographers were in bad humour aud growled, while umbrella and water-proof clothing makers were happy and smiled. The same condition of things yet exists (June 12) without any promise of a change; how much longer to continue none here can say ; even ‘ the oldest inhabit ant’ gives up in despair, declaring that such he never knew before. Various causes are wisely suggested by all. Some say the Gulf Stream has changed its course ; others, that they don’t know.” Photogkaph OF Theodore’s Son.—Few persons who have read the History of Rasselas have ever dreamed of the possibility of seeing a photograph from life of the Prince of Abyssinia. We have received from the Stereoscopic Company an excellent card portrait, which they have just published, of an Abyssinian prince; not Dr. Johnson’s hero, however, but the intelligent little fellow who has recently arrived in this country, the son of Theodore. The child has a pleasing face, somewhat of she Egyption type, and the photograph is capital. A Monster Photographic Group.—Messrs. Mason and Co., of Bond Street, have recently invited our attention to perhaps the largest photographic group ever produced. It consists of a photograph nearly 12 feet by 7 feet in size, containing the portraits of 76 bishops, upwards of 60 of whom gave especial sittings for the efficient production of the picture. The scene represented is the Pan Anglican Synod, when the bishops of the Anglican Church throughout the world attended the conference at Lambeth Palace. The figures are arranged in front of the building in such natural grouping as could be eftected in a few minutes. A good 10 by 8 negative was then secured, from which this enlargement was produced, and then coloured in oil. The difficulty of grouping such a number of male figures, of doing justice to portraits throughout, and of getting relief and variety with such a mass of black coats, may be well conceived; but the difficulty has been very fairly combatted, and the portraits are in most cases capital. Such a work has national and historic value, and the picture ought to find a destination where its historic character will bo fittingly recognized. Curious Effect of Gelatine upon Glass.—A corres pondent sends us the following account of a curious result;— “ Having for experimental purposes poured a thick solution of gelatine upon a number of glass plates, three of them were set aside upon a shelf for some months ; and one day, upon look ing at them, I found that in all three cases the gelatine had separated from the glass, bringing away the whole surface of the glass plates in shivers, which firmly adhered to the gelatine. The surface of the glass was left full of ruts, like water-worn stone. I suppose it to bo caused by the strong contraction of the gelatine and its firm hold upon the glass.” Photography at Wimbledon.—Photography has become one of the regular institutions at the camp at Wimbledon. This year Mr. Blanchard goes to secure rapid or instantaneous groups and other effects. Messrs. Moira and Haigh, Messrs. Demezy and Hemery, are taking portraits there. Iron Intensifier for Dry Plates.—At a photographic meeting of the American Institute Mr. Newton recommended alkaline development for tannin plates, followed, as soon as detail appears, by a solution containing sulphate of iron 1 drachm, citric acid 15 grains, water 2 ounces, and a few drops of a 15-grain silver solution. Any amount of intensity can be gained, and pinholes are avoided. Instantaneous Pictures.—At the same meeting Mr. Chap man exhibited some most excellent instantaneous stereographs, and suggested the following method of development:—Com mence operations with the ordinary iron developer, with which push as far as possible ; next wash the plate thoroughly, and treat with a solution of carbonate of ammonia, 10 grains to the ounce ot water, into which put a few drops of the ordinary pyro, silver, and citric acid solution, and a couple of drops of a 5-grain solution of bromide of potassium in water ; after this has deve loped still further, and done its part, again wash, and redevelop as usual with pyro and silver. Trying for Chemical Focus.—A photographer recently sent to a dealer for a lens to try. Not being known to the dealer, the latter proposed to send the lens to the rooms of a photographer in the same village whom ho knew, where the other was asked to go and try it. This was objected to, for the reason that " he wanted to try the lens with his own chemicals, to see if there was any chemical focus in it,” This reminds us of a photographer who remarked once that he never made a larger picture than 8 by 10 with his instrument. It would cut 11 by 14, but he feared to attempt it. It strained his lens too much, and he feared he would break it!—Philadelphia Photographer. - Stains on Negatives.—We are indebted to Mr. Garrett for the following plan for protecting the plate-holder from the action of the silver solution :—Sand-paper all stains and var nishes off, and apply a coating of lard all over the holder. It will then effectually resist the action of the silver solution. —Ibid. Ruinous Competition. — A contemporary says that two photographers in Maine are endeavouring to ruin themselves by running down prices. They have whole-size down to twenty- five cents, and “ album size ” nine for twenty-five cents. A cent is equivalent to a halfpenny. Stains on Tannin Plates.—Our Philadelphia contemporary says:—“ Tannin may be entirely freed from all colouring matter by dissolving 6 parts of common tannin in 12 parts of warm distilled water, and adding 1 part of ether to it. Put the mix ture into a bottle, shake it several times, and then set it aside for some hours, after which it is ready for filtering. The filtrate is quite colourless, and has no smell whatever. By using it the black stains, so common with tannin plates, may be avoided, for these stains have their source in the colouring matter of the tannin.” The Bromide Patent.—The decision in regard to the application for an extension of the Bromide Patent in the United Stateswill bo given this month. Mr E. L. Wilson, the esteemed editor of the Philadelphia Photographer, is working strenuously, on behalf of the profession, to defeat the application. In reference to Cutting’s original claim he says: — • We have proven that Mr. Cutting got his first idea of using it from another, who showed it to him in a printed book. We have proven that its use was well known in Europe before Mr. Cutting thought of it, or gave any evidence that he thought of it. Wo have the whole history of his pretended invention (?). The patent has been a swindle and an outrage upon the public ever since its birth.” It is inexplicable to English photo graphers how such a patent was ever granted, or for a moment sustained. In view of the possible extension of the patent, photographers are active in experimenting with anti-bromide collodions, and excellent results are said to have been obtained. Indecent Photographs.—William Dugdale and James Milson, who pleaded guilty at the last Middlesex Sessions to a breach of Lord Campbell’s Act, were brought up to receive judgment. The elder prisoner, it appeared, had since the last session given most important imformation, which enabled the police to find out the persons by whom the traffic in indecent books and pictures has been carried on. Superintendent Durkin found no fewer than 35,009 publications, and about 500 pictures and photographs which came within the scope of Lord Campbell’s Act. The owner of the house in which these nefarious works were discovered said he knew nothing about them. The prisoner Dugdale is 73 years of age, and Milson was his servant. The Assistant Judge, in pronouncing sentence, expressed his opinion that the age of Dugdale was rather an aggravation of than an excuse for his offence, and accordingly committed him for eighteen months. Milson was sent to prison for nine months. Photography in Evidence.—The Athenreum says : " A new class of evidence has at length, like the electric telegraph, made its way slowly into the Admiralty Court. In a case of damage to a ship, photographs were admitted to snow her condition — a development little expected thirty years ago in throwing light on law proceedings. The lawyers, however, are not to be put down by the alleged accuracy of the photographs, for on the ground of conflict of evidence they obtained a reference to the Trinity Masters. . Still, some day, we may see a sworn photo grapher in Chancery and a new class of legal functionaries. Taking photographs may constitute part of the examination on the law of evidence.” Uo Gorresgondents. Chloe asks how she can remove photographic stains from a slab of marble which has been used to develop over, cyanide of potassium having been tried without success. We fear that the case is a difficult one, especially if the discolouration amounts to more than
