March 20, 1891.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 233 that meant, and, finally, took the honorary title with the understanding that the city was to furnish me a room, and pay for the chemicals used, and that I was not to be a servant of the hospital, but to rank even with the visiting physicians and surgeons, and be responsible directly to the Commissioners. I at that time agreed to give my services, and specified that I should receive no compensation. Even then I saw the neces sity of keeping this very important, department entirely out of politics. From that time on, the whole object of my life has been to render the first department of hospital photo graphy in the world perfect. What success I have had, and how I have been of benefit to the world, it is unnecessary to say, but I have been satisfied myself with my sacrifice. “ Well, some eighteen or twenty years ago I suggested to the Commissioners that I should also photograph the faces of the unidentified dead in the Morgue, in the hope that these records would lead to identification. They accepted the proposition gladly, and at that time urged me to take a salary for my work. I refused the salary ; but a few years later the Com missioners again insisted upon my accepting compensation. They urged me so that I could scarcely resist, and at length, as a compromise, I suggested that I should receive 5 dollars each for the Morgue pictures, and still continue to do the hospital work for nothing. This was accepted, and I have been working since on those terms. I only make 400 or 500 dollars a year out of the Morgue work, and that is too little to tempt any one to take my whole job away from me. My position is further strengthened by the fact that the hospital work requii es the use of a great many Very fine and costly instruments, and that the city does not own a single one of the hospital stock. I have bought and paid for them all myself, and, in order to substitute another in my place, the city would have to make a considerable outlay, or else compel the other man to buy the stock himself—something that he probably would not care to do. My lenses are all of the finest and most expensive quality made, and were bought with the special peculiarities of the Bellevue work in view’. I used to do considerable outside work purely of a scientific character, but the hospital work is so increased now that I have little time left for it. I won’t do outside gallery work. I dislike to spend my time upon work which has no permanent value.” It takes some time to induce Mr. Mason to say anything of his history before he settled down over the cook room of the Bellevue Hospital twenty-two years ago. Finally, he says that he was born in Vermont, and was educated at Le Molle Institute, at Johnstown. He studied optics, and was among the first to take up the Daguerreotyping process. When the ambrotype was invented he bought out a share of the patent and opened a studio at Springfield. He made money and reputation, and finally was induced to come to New York by the then famous firm of Meade Brothers. He sold out his establishment at Springfield. Shortly afterward a review that he wrote about the then newly-discovered photo-lithographic process attracted the attention of Horace Greely, who sent for him. The result was the formation of the American Photo Lithographic Company, of which Ezra Cornell was president, Horace Greely secretary, and Mr. Mason manager. This was the first process company established. Soon after Mr. Mason dropped this and his other money-making work to establish the gratuitous department in Bellevue, over which he still presides. patent Intellgence. Bpscifieations Published. 4,498. March 22nd, 1890.—■“ Machine for Cutting, Grinding, and Polishing Glass.” Charles Marlow, 142, Park Lane, Aston, near Birmingham, Metal Plate Worker and Machinist. One part of the improvement relates to the method of holding the glass, and the means used for removing it from one process to another without disturbing it ; another to the collection and re-distribution of the sand, water, or other substance used as an abradent; and to the general distribution of the parts, which are so arranged as to reduce the space occupied ; and to protect all moving parts from water, sand, or other substances ; and to economise labour and time. With this machine I propose to operate upon any form of surface, whether flat, raised, or depressed, by means cf rotating cutters or rubbers guided in some such manner as those in use in wood-working machines, with such modifica tions as the nature of the work demands. This machine is rendered so nearly automatic that one attendant may manage two or more machines, according to the size of the work thereon. The movements of the machine can,by guide rods,ropes,levers,orothersuitable means be brought so as to be easy of control from one seat or position, however large the machine. 5,158. April 2nd, 1890.— “Apparatus for Holding and Changing Photographic Plates.” Charles Henry Stanbury, 91, Fleet Street, London, Trunk and Portmanteau Maker. This invention relates to a holder or box for containing sensi tive plates both before and after they have been exposed, and to means for transferring the plates to and from the camera. The box is provided with a number of slides with spaces between for receiving the plates, and the back of the camera is provided with two slides having a space between to receive a plate. The outer ends of the slides carry flanges which come against the ends of the partitions between the slides so as to make as light-tight a joint as possible. In order to transfer a sensitive plate from the box to the camera, the back is put on to the bottom of the box,and the lower slide of the box and the upper slide of the camera back are pulled out, whereupon the plate drops from the box into the back; the slides are then pushed in again. After the plate has been exposed in the camera, it is put back into the box, but this time at the top. In order to make room for it, the slides in the box are pulled out, one by one, in succession, allowing each plate to drop down into the next space below that which it pre viously occupied, so that now the top space is empty whilst the bottom space contains a plate. The back of the camera is then placed upon the top of the box, and its slide and the top slide of the box are pulled out ; the plate drops into the box, and the slides are pushed in again. The next, or second, plate, which is now at the bottom of the box, is transferred to the camera in a similar manner, and so on. 5,681. April 15th, 1890.—“Frames and Suspenders for Pictures.” Charles Rivington Shill, 67, Oakhurst Grove, East Dulwich Green, London, Accountant. The portable mountings to consist of moulded or stamped devices made in wood, metal, papier mache, or other substances, the said devices to be attached or fixed to framable objects by means of cords or wires passing through suitably arranged wings or lips formed on the back of the said devices, whereby the whole arrangement is held in position by the cords or wires passing through the same, the whole forming complete furni ture for mounting and suspending pictures, prints, looking- glasses, mirrors, or other objects suitable for framing. 5,753. April 16th, 1890.—“ Operating Skylights.” William LEGGOTT, 27, Park Road, Bradford, Yorkshire, Brass Founder and Finisher. This invention relates to certain improvements in the con nection or coupling between the rotating vertical, or angular, operating rod or shaft and the rod or shaft attached to a pitched ceiling or roof, for opening skylights, fanlights, and the like ; and has for its object the combination with the said rods or shafts of a connecting joint so arranged that it is applicable for coupling the said rods or shafts at any angle within a range of 90° or thereabouts, in such a manner that, on rotating one shaft, the other is also operated in like manner. I accomplish my object in the following manner :— To one end of a rod or shaft is secured a forked joint, between the arms of which is placed a cross-bar so arranged that it will move on its axis, and to which is attached a similar forked joint at right-angles to the first-named. To the second-name 1 forked joint is firmly secured at right angles thereto another of similar construction, which is attached
