616 | August 28, 1891. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. previous meeting had been confirmed, and some correspondence read— The Secretary read his report, in which he stated that during the year the number of members had increased from twenty-eight to thirty-six. The meetings had been fairly attended, considering so many members reside in the country, those meetings especially being in favour at which lantern work or practical developing formed the principal feature. A field day was held at Westbury in January, when a goodly number of members attended ; and a second excursion, covering two days, took place in March ; the scene of operations on the first day being Latrobe, the second day Devonport. Through the kindness of the president (Dr. H. A. Roome), Messrs. William Aikenhead, P. C. Maxwell, John Sykes, and others, these ex cursions were most enjoyable, and the hearty thanks of the Club are due to these gentlemen, whose kindness and thoughtfulness made the excursion so successful. As a means of improvement in practical work these field-days are most useful. Two prize competitions have been held during the year, the first in “ Indoor Portraiture,” in which Mr. William Aikenhead took first certificate, Mr. F. Styant Browne second, and Mr. R. L. Parker third. The second competition was in “ Objects in Motion,” in which Mr. William Gibson, jun., secured first certificate, and Mr. F. Styant Browne second. Mr. S. Spurling acted as judge in both these competitions. The circulating albums have been most successful, members contri buting freely and regularly, and the change in the rules permitting the member obtaining the most votes to retain the album has met with universal approval. During the year, albums have been awarded to Messrs. William Aikenhead, P. C. Maxwell, and F. Styant Browne. The exhibitions of lantern slides, made by members from their own negatives, have been most interesting, and were much appreciated. Recently His Excellency the Governor has kindly consented to accept the position of patron to the Club. The returns of income and expenditure were submitted in the treasurer’s statement, and, although the expenses had been heavy, the report was very satisfactory, as when some outstanding subscriptions have been collected, a credit balance will remain. The journals sub scribed to by the Club had been in good demand, and books, &c., were kindly donated from time to time by the president and other members. At the conclusion of the reading of the secretary’s and treasurer’s report, office-bearers were elected for the ensuing year, with the following result:—President—Mr. R. L. Parker ; Vice-Presidents—Mr. P. C. Maxwell, Mr. A. C. Bonner ; Committee—Rev. A. H. Champion, Mr. R. Kermode, Mr. F. W. Stewart ; Secretary, Treasurer, and Librarian—Mr. F. Styant Browne. Hearty votes of thanks were accorded to the retiring president (Dr. Roome) and to the secretary (Mr. F. Styant Browne) for their services during the past year. It was decided that a club exhibit should be prepared for the forthcoming Tasmanian Exhibition ; that the date of meeting in future should be the third Wednesday in the month, instead of the second, as heretofore ; and that each member should be entitled to bring two ladies to the lantern evenings. An ex hibition of members’ slides closed the evening. The Camera Club have reason to be pleased with their con tinued prosperity, and, taking into consideration the growing taste for the artistic and fascinating pursuit of amateur photo graphy, there is every prospect of the Club growing much larger before the next annual meeting. Messrs. York and Son, of Notting Hill, have just issued their twenty-second annual supplemental catalogue, which con tains many novelties in the way of the ever-popular lantern slide. The new subjects include : “ One Thousand Miles up the River Congo,” with a series of fifty slides from direct nega tives of the scenes portrayed ; a new temperance story, “ Ten Nights in a Bar Room,” from life models ; scenes from the life of John Wesley ; “ An Hour with the Church of England ” ; “The Riviera”; “A Visit to Madeira”; and many other items of a very interesting character. The excellent quality of Messrs. York’s lantern slides is well-known, for they are to be found in all the civilised, and in a large proportion of the uncivilised countries throughout the globe. Answers to Correspondents, All Advertisements and communications relating to money matters, or to the sale of the paper, should be addressed to the Publishers of the Photographic News, Messrs. Piper & Carter, 5, Furnival Street, London. Questions requiring a reply in this column should be addressed to Mr. John Spiller, F.C.S., 2, St. Mary’s Road, Canonbury, N. Colourist.—The Blind Spot in the Eye. Professor Huxley devotes twenty-four pages (Lesson IX.) in his “ Elementary Physiology ” to the organ of sight, and at page 244 gives a diagram by which it may be proved that you have a “ blind spot,” which coincides with the position where the bundle of fibres constituting the optic nerve enters the eye. It is a simple experiment that anyone can try for himself : On a white card draw a cross on the left, and a round black spot to the right of it, about two inches apart; now, closing the left eyelid, look intently at the cross with the right eye about a foot off ; on bringing the card nearer to the face, the black spot will then alternately disappear and reappear; blind ness, or total loss of image, will occur at about six inches distance. A. P. S.—Automatic Photography. We have no information beyond that already published in the daily papers. The general working and construction of the machines were de scribed in the News of May 22nd and 29th last. Edgbaston.—Retoucher. Advertise or consult the advertise ment columns ; for a short time ago there was something like a strong demand for services such as you could render. Watering places, rather than metropolitan establishments, want help just at this time of year. Executor.—Scientific Boohs and Periodicals. If you let us see a list, we might be able to advise you ; so much depends upon the class of literature which you have to offer. Each department of science seems to have its special mart or channel, and very often secretaries of societies will make a bid f r their own official publications in order to complete their sets. M. A. B.—Hand Camera. We should like to have a brief report when you can find time to favour us with a few lines. The inventor gave us a practical hint last week that may be of service to you. It is that at the time of changing each plate the front of the camera should be tilted up, just as in charging the magazine. J. S. B. (Norwich). — Celluloid. A compound of a low-nitrated cellulose (pyroxylin) with camphor, obtained by thorough incorporation of the two ingredients at a temperature barely sufficient to melt the camphor, the material being afterwards flattened out between hot plates or rollers. Some of the camphor evaporates off on exposure to air, but the films always retain the aromatic odour of that substance. It is soluble in alcohol, glacial acetic acid, and other solvents, forming with the first-named a very good varnish. There are two large producers in America, whose rival claims formed the subject of a law-suit (see report in the News of March 21st, 1890). Mr. H. Walker, of the Eastman Company, gave an early account of it and demonstrated its use at the Camera Club, and Col. Waterhouse mentions its adaptability to drawing and printing purposes. See the News of February 7th and May 6th, 1890, respectively. Second Letter.—You might be able to get them from the Xylonite Company, Homerton, London, N.E. QUADRAGESINTUS.—Aluminium Castings. Flat plates, bindings, and racks may be stamped out and shaped with dies from the aluminium sheet, but the metal does not work well under the file. With the bronze alloy there is no difficulty. Apply to the Aluminium Company, Birmingham, for the castings. T. H.—British Association. Except in regard to the weather, which seemed to affect the attendance, the Cardiff meeting was a decided success. Photography came well to the front, both by mention and specimens, and the exhibition of the local society (550 frames) was very well worth seeing, especially the Welsh antiquities shown by the Glamorgan shire Survey.
