As to the development, no good results should be expected by the alkaline development, by reason of the thin layer of the silver bromo-iodide. This and the pure albumen processes are now specially employed for diapositives. The process due to Mr. Sebastian Davis can also be employed for negatives. It gives very fine results, but it is far from being as sensitive as the modern gelatine process.

In one of our “ Notes ” last week we referred to a report that a Brussels photographer had taken a picture of General Boulanger’s body immediately after his suicide. The picture has since been published in Le Petit Journal, and a correspondent at Paris has very kindly forwarded us a copy. We here reproduce the sketch in fac simile, with a free translation of the descriptive matter published with it. “Many fantastic pictures representing General Boulanger after his suicide have been, and will doubtless be, published in many journals. The drawing which we give to-day is, however, the authentic reproduction of the scene. It was obtained, moreover, by the most extraordinary chance. At the same time as the General passed the gate of the ceme tery, a photographer who had been commissioned to take a picture of a particular tomb entered the place. The majority who merely enjoy.
