December 11, 1863.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 599 as much nitrate of soda as made the quantity up to 80 grs. per oz., and I have never been able to get a print fit to be seen since. The albumen dissolves as before. I added as much nitric acid as yielded a faintly acid reaction, and then found the albumen to remain intact, but the colour of my prints in toning is blue, grey, green, mud, and, in fact, every variety except what a professional can send out. Now, Mr. Editor, what is this “ photographer’s assistant ” to do? If I add nitric acid to my floating bath, it again becomes alkaline in about 60 hours, even if it is not used, and I almost come to the conclusion, that in the practice of our interesting “ black art,” I must have done some thing to secure the presence of “ his sable majesty,” who gratifies his propensities by turning my floating bath into an alkali establishment, or a soap manufactory. As you have recently published “ j ottings by a Photographer’s Assistant,” which have materially helped me into my present difficulties, you will perhaps now publish this jotting of Another PHOTOGRAPHER's Assistant. Walton, near Preston, Dec. 1th, 1863. [Why the tone of our correspondent’s prints should become “blue, grey, and green,” when nitric acid is added to his bath, we cannot tell, as the legitimate effect of that acid is to keep the tone warm. Neither can we see how his bath should, when so made acid, become alkaline without use.—Ed. P.N.] Photography in a Gale. Sir,—The view from our house is admirable for artistic and photographic experiments, about fifty yards from the sea, and opposite Portsmouth and Spithead. At 1 p.m. on the 3rd, when the gale was raging at its greatest power, the wind about 65 miles an hour, I brought my No. 4 triple lens to bear upon the brilliant and boisterous scene. I am glad to say I obtained a capital negative in fifteen seconds, No. 1 stop, on a 12 x 10 plate, a 40-grain bath, and Ponting’s bromo-iodized collodion. Of course, the sun was shining magnificently, producing as clear and vivid an image on the focussing glass as in a summer’s day. I also tried a plate sensitized and preserved fourteen hours, by Blanchard’s honey process. I obtained a good negative in three-quarters of a minute. The tone of the darkest parts, a coppery red, and of the sky, bluish green.—I am, sir, yours truly, H. Kirwan Robinson, Capt. 5th Royal Lancashire egt., late 4th Foot. Clyde House, Ryde, I. IK., Dec. 1, 1863. Automatic Washing Apparatus. Sir,—On reading the description of an automatic washing apparatus, by Mr. C. Hanbury, in the last number of the News, 1 find it is identical in principle, and nearly so in construction, with one which I contrived myself about three years since, but which I have never yet put in practice on any considerable scale. As the method appears, from the description given, to answer, I am induced to mention an arrangement which formed part of my own apparatus, viz.The addition of two rollers, made either of lignum vita, or loaded, for the purpose of giving them sufficient weight. The rollers being set in a frame which connects them together, pass over the piles of prints in the two halves of the rocking trough, alternately, each in its own division, and, by their pressure, squeeze out the solution from the pores of the paper, ready for the absorption of the next portion of water. These rollers, it will be seen, fulfil also the office of the bullets described by Mr. Hanbury, and are, in a self-acting form, intended to carry out the rolling principle of washing proposed some time ago. In my arrangement, the prints were put between sheets of thin gutta-percha, which, when released from the weight of the roller, float and allow the prints to be freely soaked again by the next supply of water. Should you consider this of any interest, to your readers, it is quite at your service.—I am, dear sir, yours truly, Dec. 8,1863. Charles W. SAARTT. • — Salfc in the Sttdio. New Phases of PHOTOGRAPITY.—Wo observe a new method of rewarding labourers, which must bo after Mr. Disraeli’s own heart; it is so ostentatious and ineffectual! “ Some country magnates have conceived the idea of having a book of photo graphs of all the oldest workmen employed on their estates.” It is quite worthy of the brilliant agriculturist intellect of the country, to work labourers like horses end then put their cartes before them as the reward of merit I—Fun. Highly Complimentary.—A gentleman — it might have been the writer of this paragraph—felt very uncomfortable a week or so ago when, on going to sit for his photograph, he was asked by the artist, who was by no means “ happy ” in the pro nunciation of some of his words, whether he wished to have his "fool-face ” taken.—Fun. A Curious Picture Gallery.—A correspondent of Notes and Queries writes: “ In the Critic for Nov. 15, 1852, is the following statement: 1 The Revue Geneve states that the Federal Council has authorized the Department of Justice and Police to incur the charge of photographing the portraits of persons breaking the laws by mendicancy in cantons where they have no settlement. It has been found that the verbal descriptions hitherto relied on are insufficient to the identification of the offenders.” What a curious picture gallery the police will ultimately form 1 , if this system is carried out! “Cubed” Photographs.—A correspondent in the country sends us a curious specimen of photographic advertising, in the shape of a peripatetic photographer’s handbill. Our correspon dent would be glad to know, if any reader can inform him, what step is taken to cure photographs, as referred to in the following paragraph : “ The advertiser’s photographs will, he thinks, meet with the approbation of his visitors, his photo graphs being properly cured and varnished, and warranted to keep well. A trial will convince that Mr. T. uses none but the best Parisian apparatus, combined with a thorough know ledge of photographic chemistry, and wishes to draw attention to his coloured portraits, which are fair and lifelike, the lights and shades being developed.” Widnall’s Mounting Machine.—This is an exceedingly clever and ingenious invention for assisting in the rapid, exact, and neat mounting of photographs. It consists, in the first place, of a box about 10 inches by 9 inches, and 8 inches deep, containing the complete apparatus. When opened, the lid is found to bo lined with a slate, upon which the starch or other adhesive material is spread, and, what a printer would term, “ distributed” by means of a roller, which is also used to apply the paste to the print. In the box itself is the mounting machine. Upon a frame, provided with moveable guides, the card is placed ; upon a small block, just the proper size, the print is placed, face down. An ingenious system of rollers, springs, &c., are now brought into play by a touch, the result of which is that the print is held firm by four small clips, like delicate little fingers. The roller, with paste, is now passed over the print; the frame containing the card is then turned over, and falls exactly on the print in proper position. Another touch releases the clips ; the frame is lifted, and the card, with the print duly attached, is removed. Rolling with a clean, dry roller, to perfect the contact and expel the air bubbles, com pletes the operation, which is very much shorter and simpler in practice than in description. The rapidity and neatness of the operation, and the compactness of the apparatus will recommend it to all photographers, but especially to amateurs. Improved Dark Box.—Wo were recently favoured by Mr. R. H. Michell, of Cardiff, with a sight of a dark box, which contained some very excellent points. In general construc tion it very much resembled Mr. Blanchard’s developing box, recently described in our pages, but with certain dif ferences. One of the first consists in a mask or eye-piece fitting to the upper part of the face, fixed to the box where the usual yellow glass is, so that when the operator is at work he looks at his plate direct without yellow glass, his face effectually keeping out the light. A sliding door closes the aperture, when not in use. The glass which admits yellow light into the box at the top, is covered, whilst travelling, with a flap, which, opening back with a hinge, makes increased table room at the top when at work. The interior is so contrived by grooves and turn buttons, that, when packed, everything fits and remains in its place, and the box may be turned in any position without risk to the bottles. The com plete equipment fits inside, camera, lenses, and everything; and the whole, with stand, weighs 28 lbs. The calico part of the box containing the sleeves is fitted on to a moveable frame, which is taken out at will, to work freely in the box, when darkness is not required. The box fits on to the tripod very cleverly and
