NOvEYBER 5, 1880. | THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 533 mostly producedin the photographic laboratories of Krupp’s Steelworks at Essen. lhe Dutch Ministry of War at the Hague has possessed, since 1860, its own military photographic department, con ducted by the engineer officer, Van der Beeck. In tbis department the reproduction of maps, plans, and drawings is effected by means of photo-lithography, and repre sentations of the equipments for the Artillery and other war material are produced in considerable number. The reduction of the military and typographical survey maps of Holland would, by the ordinary methods, have required a period of thirty-one months, while by the help of photo graphy it was completed in less than four months. The Government of the Netherlands has also directed photo graphs to be taken of the various military positions in their colonies, and the views taken under these circum stances of different mountainous and fortified posts in Java and their other possessions in the East Indies are among the most interesting works in tbis field of military photography. Several extensive institutions for military photography have been established in Franco. The General Staff has for nearly twenty years possessed a fully organised photo graphic service for the preparation and reduction of maps and plans. At Versailles the Artillery has a well-arranged photographic laboratory in which, under the direction of Capt, M. A. Jouart, photography is employed for military survey by means of Chevallier's photographic plane table ; also for the observation of the trajectory of projectiles with the aid of an apparatus invented by Capt. Florentin. (Application de la Photographie aux Lwes Mihtaires Paris, 1866.) The Belgian General Staff employs the photographic methods on a large scale. The Service de la Photographic au Depot de la Guerre de Belgique at Brussels, which is under the direction of Capt. A. llannot, facilitates the study of military surveying for the officers of the army by means of views, &c., taken by photography, photo-litho graphy, photo-zincography, and colour printing. In Sweden, photography and photo-lithography form a branch of the Lithographic Institute, belonging to the General Staff at Stockholm; it is under the direction of Capt. A. von Bortzell. The photographic reproduction of maps and plans is en trusted in Russia to the department for the preparation of State papers; the photographic division is directed by George Scamoni, and produces excellent work in helio- graphy for copper-plate printing. Russia has rendered special service not only to military science, but also to the development of geographical and ethnographical knowledge, by the production of photographic views of hitherto unex plored regions of Central Asia. The photographic division of the Imperial Russian General Staff is under the direc tion of the Government Secretary, Von Nisowsky, at St. Petersburgh ; that of the Staff of the army of the Caucasus is under Capt. Von Kontrakensko at Tiflis. In the year 1872 a photographic section was formed for the Ordnance Survey in Portugal, and this has, since then, been developed into a general photographic service for the Portuguese Government. The workshops and laboratories of this department are located in what was formerly a Jesuit convent in Lisbon, the conversion of which to its present purposes cost the sum of 133,000 francs; they occupy 46 different buildings, affording altogether a space of 700 square metres. Apparatus and machinery cost a further 66,000 francs, but in this is excluded the cost of the non-photographic machines, steam engines, litho graphic machine presses, etching apparatus, caoutchouc reduction machines, electric light engines, &c. The large expense entailed by the conversion of the building is due to the old convents not being well adapted for a photo graphic establishment; a totally new building would scarcely have cost more in erection. For instance, the laying of the gas and water pipes, and of the drain pipes for the residues (by which alone several hundred grammes of silver are economised in the course of the year) must have been exceedingly expensive, as they had to be taken through solid walls of great thickness. Both the wet and the dry collodion processes are employed in the establish ment ; also the silver printing and the blue tracing pro cesses, photo-lithography, photo-zincography, photo- typography, photographic copper-plate printing, and the asphalt process. These processes are all described in the little work—La Section Photographique de la Direction Gene rale des Travaux Geographiques de Portugal. In the divi sion of this establishment, which is under the direc tion of Prof. J. J. Rodrigues, twenty-four persons are employed. Photography is very extensively employed for military purposes in the United States of North America. The United States Naval Depot has been very successful in taking photographs of the effects of torpedo explosions ; photography is also resorted to in the coast survey. o— Bebictvs. Stereoscopic Transparencies. By John Harmer, of Wick, near Arundel. Mr. Harmer sends us half-a-dozen stereoscopic trans parencies representing English scenery. Since the days of Breese we have seen no more charming productions, and those of Mr. Harmer may, in this respect, be compared with advantage to the Breese pictures, that they appear to have more colour. It is very strange that photographers in this country have permitted the foreigner almost exclu sively to monopolise this branch of photography, and we warmly welcome a recuit in the ranks in the person of Mr. Harman. The moonlight transparencies (which, by the way, are never very satisfactory) are the least pleasing of the series. The slides are clear, bright, and delicate, and we unhesi tatingly say that the renowned Paris house has never pro duced a better picture than Swanscombe Park. The soft, grassy slopes, that reach to the water’s edge, overshadowed here and there with stately trees ; the forget-me-nots and lilies in the placid pool; the swan, its bright, snowy plumage lit up iu the sunshine; the translucent cloud mir- rowed in the lake, make up together a most delightful pic ture. “ A Fisher’s Cottage,” with its thatched roof and wooden pailings, is another sweet sketch ; while “ After a Storm ” shows what Mr. Harmer can do in the rendering of lowering clouds and breaking waves. Mr. Harmer’s series represents some of the finest transparency work we have ever seen. Universal Instructor ; or, Self-culture for All. (London Ward, Lock, and Co.) We have been favoured with a copy of Part I. of the Universal Instructor, which is projected to teach almost everything, from algebra to anatomy, and navigation to music. Chemistry, geology, astronomy, &c., are included, although we see no special allusion to photography. The Universal Instructor aims at nothing short of a “ university at home,” says the Preface ; let us express a hope that it will fulfil nothing short of its aim. PHOTOGRAPHIC Society of Great Britain.—The first meet ing of this Society, for the ensuing session, will take place on Tuesday next, November 9th, at the Gallery, Pall Mall East, when the presentation of the medals awarded will be made, and. papers by Captain Abney, R.E. F.R.S., and Major Waterhouse, will be read,
