322 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [July 4,1862. better than a pitchy darkness; our science is more trust worthy than facts which rest on supposition or ignorant observation. We know something concerning uranium salts which is pertinent to their photographic use. The proto salts are deoxidisers ; the per salts are reduced to proto salts under the action of light. All the salts give precipitates with proper reagents, which are of various colours. Uranium salts in their properties are strikingly like the iron salts; what one does it may be expected the other will do. Iron photographs have been made of various colours, so ditto uranium photographs. Proto salts of iron develop collodion pictures ; will not proto salts of uranium do the same thing? Now as to the toning bath. Proto salts of uranium are deoxidising agents, i.e., reducing agents. They should reduce the gold of the toning bath, perhaps make the toning more prompt and more beautiful, and—perhaps prove worth less. If uranium salts prove advantageous, try iron salts as a substitute, etc. What proto salt to use, and how much, must be found out by the practical men. Thus we have reasoned before, with our little science, at the same time calling upon the careful, practical men with their facts to help us. Mr Corlies’ testimony in the case goes a great way with us ; wo think it will be confirmed by the experience of others.—American Journal. • • Proreedings of Societies. Photographic Society of Scotland. The Sixth Annual General Meeting of this Society was held in the Society’s Hall, 51, George Street, on Tuesday, 13th May, 18G2, Mr. Walker in the chair. Professor Macdonald read a paper on the subject of Stereo scopic or Straboscopic vision, in which he explained, assisted by diagrams, how this effect was produced. After referring to the paper of Dr. Carpenter, where it was clearly shown that Mr. Wheatstone had in 1883 constructed a reflecting telescope, and also a prismatic one, and thus was entitled to the credit of having invented the principle of the stereoscope in its modern form, he also referred to a conversation between Sir 1). Brewster and an eminent teacher in St. Andrews between 1841 and 1843, where Sir D. Brewster showed the prismatic form was most probably that already proposed by Wheatstone. Referring to the photographs of Chimenti's drawings, he contended that the slide was really as stereoscopic as the near similarity would admit. In connexion with this subject, the Honorary Secretary read extracts from a communication addressed by Professor Tait to Sir David Brewster, in which he said that, putting the argu ment in its feeblest form, in asserting that it is at least 1,000 to 1 that the sketches were designedly drawn as views by separate eyes or a single eye displaced. The Honorary Secretary then read the following Report by the Council: — In accordance with the rules of the Society, the Council have to present their Report at the conclusion of the sixth year of its existence. They regret that it is not in their power on this occasion, as has previously been the case, to offer their congratulations to the Members on the con tinued progress of the Society. In common with many kindred institutions, and with the country at large, they have to lament the death of His late R. II. the late Prince Consort, the Patron of the Society. As is known to the Members, it was considered to be the duty of the Society to present an Address of Condolence to Hei- Maj esty. The Council regret also to have to report that the Monthly Meetings have not been so successful as might have been expected in a Society holding so high a position, and including among its Members so many ardent photo graphers. The Council are aware that an idea is generally prevalent, and has affected other photographic societies as well as this, that the object for which it was instituted has now, to a large extent, been fulfilled, and that the interest of the Meetings and the usefulness of the Society will be par tially nugatory until some new and important discovery is made in one or other of the departments of the art. While admitting that such a discovery would give a great impulse to the art, and necessarily increase the attractive ness of their Meetings, the Council cannot avoid repeating an observation made by them on a previous occasion, that there is ample opportunity for maintaining the interest and success of the Monthly Meetings, in thett and unreserved communication by Members of the results of their inysd tion and experience in connection with known processes ; and they"e again urge upon Members to assist them in this way in maintainie efficiency of the Society. . . 40 Looking to the experience of the past year, the Council arc dispo8"i recommend that in the meantime the regular Meetings of the Society sha be limited to three, to be held on the second Tuesdays of Decemog February, and April; and that, in addition to the reading of paperst, effort should be made to add to the attractiveness of the Meetings of “ exhibition of works interesting from their novelty or successful maniPtn tion the Council having power to call extra Meetings whenever they t it advisable to do so. . 3 As the Society is aware, the Annual Exhibition was opened in Mr. 1g Fine-Art Saloon, George Street, in December last, and continued open aw three months. Like all similar exhibitions, it suffered from the prexdten public depression caused by the lamented death of the Prince Consort, a has resulted in a loss to the Society of about £40. one The Exhibition itself, it is scarcely necessary to remind Members, "as of the best which has been held under the auspices of the Society, this occasion, three Silver Medals were offered as prizes. For the bet Ig trait or group, the prize was awarded to Mr. D. 0. Hill, R.8.A, forna artistic picture of “Dr. John Brown and his Cousin Dr. John Taylor Broi for the best frame of six cartes de visite, Mr. H. P. Robinson, of Leamingne was the successful competitor; and for the best photograph of anyoa kind, the Medal was awarded to Mr, Mudd, for his beautiful picture of “ * Tay above Dunkeld." . he The Council have alluded to one cause of the unsatisfactory result o- Society’s last Exhibition, in a pecuniary point of view. They have also 1% considerable time been aware that the present place of Exhibition is not ’ situated for the purpose, and that this operated largely against the SU of their Exhibitions. While, therefore, it is very far from their wish to 0 commend that the Society should discontinue holding their Exhibitions, a withstanding the loss which has been sustained this year, they woulni gest that it should be left to the Council to fix whether or not there Shots be an Exhibition next year, according as they may succeed in finding ros better adapted for the purpose, or may otherwise have reason to expecitt the Exhibition will not be attended with loss to the Society. In the eVftes an Exhibition being held, the Council would recommend that the Soc Silver Medal be again offered for the best portrait or (/roup, and the landscape ; and, in addition, that a Medal be given for the best instanten" picture, embracing figures in motion, and of a size not less than 7 io^ 3 9 inches. .-from As recommended at the last General Meeting, the Council selectedble the Exhibition, and distributed among the Members, a number of Vatot photographs. Any Member who may not, from residing in the cou-ary otherwise, have received his copy, will do so, on application to the Hono Secretary. . .vice- As required by the laws of the Society, the President, the Senior ossrs. President (Mr. Sheriff Moir), the four senior Members of the Council tthe Scott Elliot, Walker, Kinnear, and Moffat), the Honorary Secretary, a Honorary Treasurer retire upon this occasion, but are re-eligible. eurer The Council would suggest that the President, Secretary, and Tredhied be re-elected to their respective offices; and that Mr. Kinnear, who. and the office of Secretary so satisfactorily, be elected a V ice-P resident yr that the vacancies in the Council be filled up by the re-election 0 ’^, Elliot, and the election of the Rev. T. D. K. Drummond, Mr. Moir,a Tunny. nd a The Treasurer’s accounts are herewith submitted to the Society 0 be state of the funds is annexed, showing the sum at the Society's credicodjpg £356 9s. 7d., as compared with £386 18s. lid. at the close of the Pre year. .ating) After some discussion as to the propriety of reducing the stated MKld of the Society, it was agreed to leave the matter in the hands of the Co" And, On the motion of Major Bell, seconded by Professor MACDONA- Report was unanimously adopted. | On the conclusion of the ordinary business, an exchange of photos among the Members took place.
