THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [Feb. 14, 1862. come acquainted with the peculiarities and beauties of foreign climes, in all their varying hues and shades. We should add that while the merit of this discovery or in vention is due to Dr. Taylor, he has been ably assisted in bringing it to its present state of perfection by Mr. McNab, the well-known photographist, at whose residence we had the plea sure of inspecting the apparatus under the superintendence of the Doctor himself. The plates are the property of Mr. McNab ; they have been photographed by him with admirable clearness and force from the original negatives, the size of the plates rendering the process somewhat difficult. The size, however, gives the great advantage over the stereoscopic pic tures that nine or ten persons can view them at the same moment; and, indeed, it is in contemplation to get plates So large that a whole roomful of spectators could enjoy the spectacle, which would then become one of the most attractive and boautiful exhibitions. Correspondence. FOREIGN SCIENCE. [fbom oub SPECIAL OOnTESPONDEST.] Paris, 12th February, 1862. M. Dezrvav has constructed a miniature still for the tra- Veiling photographer, which is extremely interesting for the ingenuity displayed in its construction, so that it shall ocupy as small a space as possible. The kettle holds over five pints of water, and the whole apparatus, including the furnace, weighs less than 10 pounds, and measures about 18 cubic inches. This economy of space, so important a con sideration in photographic baggage, is obtained by calcu- lating the various parts of the still, so that when they are dismounted, they can easily fit into each other. Thus the worm fits into the furnace, this latter into the kettle, and ’ the whole into the dome or capital. In anticipation of the partial eclipse of the sun which took place on the 31st of December last, many of our Parisian photographers made important preparations to obtain views of various phases of this celestial phenomenon. Unfortunately it was a waste of labour, for the sky was overspread with thick clouds during the whole of the day. At B lf nt, however, the sky was clear, and M. Vernier was fortunate in being able to obtain some good negatives, and has addressed the following note, respecting the phenome- non', to the Academy of Sciences. “ My proofs, which were taken during a clear sky, are l'markable in this particular, that the last two, numbered 5 ad 6, exhibit no trace of the aureola. The image of the anr is traced sharp and clear on a black sky, while the first fot proofs are surrounded with an aureola similar to that of the 18th of July, 1860, but still, less visible. This peculiarity cannot be explained by the intensity of the s lar light, after the exposure of the negative. In fact, all the proofs were obtained in the fraction of a second ; but in propor tion as the sun declined towards the horizon, it lost its splendour, or, if I may so express it, its photogenic pever. It results from this fact, that if I had prolonged the ■ time f kposure of the negative some thousandth part of a , second in the latter proofs, I should have obtained the aureola as well as upon the first. From the preceding experience, I conclude that the aur la which surrounds or envelopes the sun belongs exclu sively to the terrestial atmosphere; for, notwithstanding the ser ’ ty of the sky, which appeared to me favourable for my exp iments, the atmosphere at this season of the year , al : loaded with moisture which reflects, or produces, a certain plendour, or a radiation of light, more or less ex- tended around the luminous body which traverses it.” Our Photographic Society has published the following N ■:o Exhibitors at the Universal Exhibition of 1862 :— Sir,- I have the honour to remind you, in the name of be Committee, that upon the decision of the Imperial ! inmission, the admissions to the Exhibition at London will be rendered final, for the section of photography, only after the examination of the photographs intended for this Exibition. “ You already know that the pictures should have been sent unframed, to the Palais de VIndustrie by the 10th inst. at the latest. Each proof must bear the name of the artist, and all by the same person must be sent in a portfolio, which, besides better protecting them, will render confusion less likely to occur. “ I believe it is necessary to urge the inconvenience that would arise from incurring the expense of framing before hand, since the space, necessarily restrained, accorded to photography, does not allow the Imperial Commission to fix, before the examination of the proofs by the jury, the amount of space which can be awarded to each exhibitor finally admitted. “ 1 must also remind you, sir, in the name of the Com mittee, that upon the ‘proposal of the Jury named by the Imperial Commission, the French Photographic Society has accepted the office of General Agent for all the exhibitors of the section of photography who desire to avail themselves of it, whether members or non-members of the Society. “ I think it scarcely necessary, sir, to point out to you the economy and other advantages that must result from this association, which, moreover, not only leaves perfectly intact the right of each exhibitor to the prizes awarded, but will also preserve the individuality of every one connected with it. “ The Imperial Commission will take upon itself the expense of forwarding and returning the pictures to London, but not the expense of fixing them up, and the Royal Com mission of London gives the space without any fittings whatever. Now this fixing up the pictures will be much less expensive if undertaken in common. The French Society of Photography cannot possibly be influenced by any specula tive motive, but will strictly divide the general expenses among the exhibitors, according to the space occupied by them. The expense of frames and other special items will, of course, be personal. “ The French Society of Photography leaves every one at liberty to act by himself, except, however, in what concerns the stalls, panels, tables, &c., which the Imperial Com mission renders obligatory on the whole body of exhibitors, by whomsoever represented, as is absolutely necessary. “If you accept the proposal of the French Photographic Society, I beg, sir, in the name of the committee, that you will sign the enclosed, put it into an envelope, and return it by post, addressed to the Secretary, Agent of the French Photographic Society, Rue Drouot, No. 11.” The decision of the law courts against copyright in photo graphs is so contrary to the opinions generally entertained, that it may be interesting to give it in full •— “ Considering that photography is the art of fixing the images of external objects by means of the camera obscura, and various chemical processes, and that it is a purely me chanical operation, requiring skill, no doubt, and much skill, yet it in no respect resembles the work of a draughtsman or painter, who creates from the resources of his imagination his subjects and compositions, or represents, with his own feeling, subjects from nature ; that in recognizing the service photography has rendered to the fine arts, yet it cannot bo ranked with them in the same category; for, in fact, photo graphy neither creates nor invents; it is limited to the ob taining negatives (cliches'), and afterwards obtaining posi tives from them, which servilely reproduces the objects placed before the lens; that these works, produced by the aid of mechanical means, cannot, in any case, be assimilated with works of the mind, or confer on the industry that fabricates them a property similar to that of the artist who creates and invents ; that jurisprudence has already applied these principles to the operation of modelling, which, like photography, demands only dexterity and practice in their execution ; that Daguerre, in selling his secret to the State, gave his invention, as well as all its modifications, improve-
