September 5, 1862.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 425 single back, screw for focussing from the back, &c. The central partition for dividing the two stereo lenses is moveable, so a view may be taken 7 by 4} with a suitable lens. Amongst other stereo cameras is one which, with three double backs and a single one, is fitted in mahogany case, the outside measure ment of which is 82 by 6} by 6, and the weight 541bs. An instantaneous shutter, on Mr. Window’s roller principle, and some other matters, complete the display. The whole of Hr. Hare’s contributions seem characterised by excellent material and workmanship. THE INUNDATION IN THE FENS FROM A PHOTOGRAPHIC POINT OF VIEW* The day following was, unfortunately, one of the many we have had this summer—a glorious beginning, raising high the eager expectations, only to be dashed down, and swal lowed up in the gloom that too surely follows it. During the ride to the dam, the day had put on its best dress, and shone out radiant in blue and silver; but before ve had exposed two plates, like a fickle maiden, and troubled with a bad temper withal, black looks had swept away all the sunny expression, and the end was downright sulkiness. We had then no alternative but— * Continued from p. 414. " To learn to labour, and to wait ve, therefore, drove down to the break in the bank, and having the conveyance, started off on an exploring expedi tion. We found the water a few inches lower, and were enabled, in consequence, to walk along the gravel bank, now just above its surface. It was a strange sensation we experienced whilst walking on this very narrow path out into the centre of the water. Its narrowness was made still more apparent by the contrast against the immensity of water which hemmed us in all w und, and though the road was as strong as gravel and long use could make it, it seemed to have all the insecurity °f a plank bridge. During our walk we picked up a prize as souvenir of the Fens. It was a fine specimen of the constructive genius of the aborigines of these parts—I mean the genuine thorough- hied Penmen—and bore some very remote resemblance to the paddles frequently dug up in this district, but did not possess the merit of age. It had evidently been made by Bome clodhopper to meet his new requirements, and had probably been lost in his first essay to propel one of many Cranky and rotten boats, now so numerous, that one might think that they were some kind of marine fungus, for they have sprung apparently from nowhere with the rapidity of lushrooms. 'The sight of this quaint contrivance, which WAs but a piece of board roughly nailed on to the end of a Bplint of wood, would have immensely tickled the fancy of • genuine son of Neptune, and it would have been a sight Worth seeing to have watched his face could he have seen h® first efforts to use it. We returned once more to our - conveyance, tired and dis- APpointed, for the day held out no sign of relenting ; but as We bad made up our mind to remain until after sunset we "Ade a couch of the side of a hovel of straw, one half of Wlich was in the water; and we were endeavouring to prac- at: a little Mark Tapleyan philosophy, when our attempts I jollity under adverse circumstances were interrupted by a "inerable man, evidently a clergyman, who, after common- | AC8 remarks about photography, adverse weather, &c., in- hped us, with a most unchristianlike grin, that ill became w 5ce-at least, so I thought—that some of his friends, at had occasion to unroof a hovel not far off, were astonished furthe sight of an immense colony of snakes, and that on f Or iter inspection the hovel proved a second Noah’s Ark, Aft* ." aS peopled with rats and all kinds of creeping things, alacr; malaciously watching the spasmodic start, and the " with which we left our hitherto cozy couch, he wished us good luck and went on his way chuckling. Our stock of patience had evaporated in company with our Tapleyan philosophy, and we disconsolately drove off home, our journey being by no means enlivened by the conscious ness that the day had been spent in vain. We determined to try no more from the Lynn side of the water, and therefore took the train for Wisbeach. This journey, usually of 16 miles, was now stretched out to nearly 50, for we had to go round by Ely and March, in conse quence of the desire of Neptune to hold the line for his own purposes. Soon after our arrival we were joined by two or three photographic friends, and were soon on our way for the Smeeth Road station. We here left our conveyance and took a boat for a sail in search of the picturesque. We started with hearts full of hope, and our boat full of apparatus, for one of our friends had a ponderous equipment, sufficient to load an elephant; but after we had got fairly started, I noticed with some uneasiness great masses of black clouds gathering on the horizon. I turned, therefore, to our boatman, for his opinion of the weather. He was an odd fish, of the salt water breed, who had knocked about the world all his life, and had evidently got well cured, for his face presented a strong resemblance to a smoked haddock ; his roving appe tite was also satisfied, for he had anchored at Wisbeach, and had determined “ to go no more a cruising.” When, how ever, the inundation first startled Wisbeach, his desire for a little excitement could not be quenched without gratifica tion, so hoisting his boat on to a truck, he started on his adventures, once more, and took possession of the new sea. He has had no reason to regret the step, for the feverish desire for novelty tempted hundreds to have a sail over corn fields, and he has in consequence been doing a thriving trade. I had to wait some time for his opinion, for his little grey eyes looked out keenly from under his shaggy brows, as he slowly turned himself to all the points of the compass. At length the oracle spoke. “ Mayhap we shall have a drop or two from the tail of the storm, but nothing to signify.” Reassured we went on our way, but before we got two miles we clearly saw we were in for it, and therefore pulled with all our might for a barn about half a mile off, and which appeared to offer a welcome shelter. Our efforts were thrown away, for the gate was fastened, and in our attempt to get to the leeward we run upon a gravel road just under water, and all our labours to move the boat proving unavailing, we had no alternative left but to brave out the storm. V. B. DIRECT COLLODION POSITIVES ON GLASS* by na. SABALIEE. Direct Transparent Positives. After having shown that the light in the camera, and diffused light, give rise to two different colours and combina tions ; that the first yields a negative, and the second a positive, we are naturally led to enquire what takes place when we cause diffused light to intervene at the moment of the formation of the negative. Does the pyrogallic acid— the action of which is subordinated to the kind of light which has acted upon the film—continue to interrupt the work of reduction to form the combination determined by diffused light? Solicited simultaneously by two forces acting in opposite directions, which will it obey? If it yields to diffused light, the latter can then be employed as a substituting agent, and the superiority of this new agent over nitrate of silver, the alkalies and their subsalts, is un questionable : as, henceforth, without washing or baths of any kind, we may transform a negative in course of forma tion into a positive; it suffices to inundate it with light, by opening the window or door of the operating room. I must confess that it was not without emotion that I approached this touchstone, that I made my first proof, and I verily believe that my hand trembled when I opened the * Concluded from p. 390.
