560 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [November 19, 1880. At it again. The last words of criticism we heard spoken in the Pall Mall Exhibition referred to the better weather enjoyed upon the Continent, and the consequent clearer and brighter character of Continental photographs. “It depends upon the weather,” summed up the speaker, after having demonstrated to a nicety that pictuies one sees abroad at Venice, Rome, Dresden, and Munich, owe their superiority to the 11 weather,” and weather alone. We ourselves should be glad to believe in such a con clusive argument—it looks so genuine—if it were not fo: the stubborn fact that landscape photography, like the art of water-colour painting, flourishes in this country better than elsewhere. We may, or may not, be good portraitists in the eyes of our foreign brethren, but they have never questioned the circumstance of our being in the front rank as landscape photographers. Indeed many artiste abroad ascribe the softness and atmosphere in our prints to the circumstance that Great Britain lends itself par ticularly well to the landscape photographer. In Robertson’s play of “ School ” there is an examination of young ladies at their desks, and the question is put how many millions of miles is the sun from the earth. Many are the guesses made, as our readers may remember, one fair scholar after another hazarding a number, until at last Miss Naomi Tighe, out of patience with the wearied questioning, replies, naively enough, “ It depends upon the weather.” The little incident was called to mind very vividly when we heard the Pall Mall critic the other day laying down the law. Most photographers find it useful to have a series of prices to suit customers of various classes ; but the prices, as a rule, refer to the size and style of the pictures only, and portraits are not ‘supposed to be more or less like according to the amount paid down at the time of sitting- And yet, curiously enough, if we are to believe Mr. Sala, to charge for a high or low degree of “likeness” in a portrait is not an unheard-of circumstance. “ There was a Trench photographer once,” he writes in a contemporary, “ who advertised a portrait at fifteen francs as a ‘ressemblance garantie one at ten francs as a ‘ ressem- blance respectable ’; and one at five francs as possessing an 1 air de famille. ’ ” There is a honesty and genuine frankness we must all admire about a man who plainly says he will not undertake to do more for his sitter than produce a “ family likeness,” if paid but five francs for bis labour ; that he can not give his whole mind to the matter, and produce a “ ressemblance garantie ” under fifteen francs is scarcely to be expected ; but the most marvellous thing is how he manages to balance his mind and stand fairly between it and his customers when the latter bargains for a “ ressemblance respectable ” at ten francs. The exhibition by a photographer in his show-case of any portraits, unless he has obtained “the express permis sion” cf his sitters, has been made a criminal offence in the German Fatherland, punishable by fine or imprisonment. In coating gelatine plates which have a tendency to I exhibit grease spots, Dr. Van Monckhoven advises the I manipulation of the emulsion as cool as possible, to get the film as thick as may be. The cooler the emulsion, he says, the less chance is there of the formation of spots; and if it is of a concentrated nature, there is a lesser chance still of the vexatious phenomenon. To facilitate the coating of plates with gelatine emulsion M. Andra recommendstreating them first with a solution of sugar in water, instead of with a solution of soluble silicate, which appears to be popular in France. The trace of sugar, or silicate, left behind helps the emulsion to flow easily, even when in a thick and cool condition, and thus a thicker coating than ordinarily is applied ; thick films, as everybody knows, being better than thin ones. “ 1 never sanction the unscrewing of any of my lenses,’’ we heard Mr. Dallmeyer emphatically state the other day. “ If it is pardonable under any circumstances, it is with the No. 1 wide-angle lens; the back combination being removed in this case, a very good view lens will result. But No. 1a, or aa, should never be touched, and, above all, I recommend pholographers to let my portrait lenses alone; much mischief may arise from tampering with them.” Zebics. Lantern Readings and Lantern Slides. (F. York, 87, Lancaster Road, Notting Hill.) Mr. York sends two more “ Readings ” recently added to his collection, the one scientific, the other humorous, viz., “ Waves of Sound,” edited by Professor S. P. Thompson, B.A., D.Sc., &c., and the other, “ A Photographer’s Per plexities,” by Mr. Lewis Novra. There is no better way of passing a pleasant evening than with a good “ Reading " and a well-selected series of lantern slides, and there is no one better than Mr. York who understands howto provide these things. His catalogue includes a whole world of wonders, and whether the taste of an audience inclines towards the archaeological, mythical, biblical, historical, whimsical, sensible, or non-sensible, he is in a position to satisfy it out of hand, so varied and numerous is his store of beautiful slides. Anyone could turn show man, and earn the thanks of a Christmas party, provided with one of Mr. York's “ Readings,” and a series of trans parencies proper to its illustration. opics Of the Hag. ON THE APPLICATION OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO CHEMICAL RESEARCH. BY W. N. HARTLEY, F.R.S.E., ETC., P.ofessor of Chemistry, Royal College of Science for Ireland, Dublin. It is a fact now well known that the sun, and other sources of light, emit rays which are not visible to the same extent as the luminous rays, but which are capable of making visible impressions by their action on certain salts of silver, certain salts of iron, on gelatine and bichromate of potash, and various other substances capable of under going a chemical change. It is also a fact that these rays can, by special contrivances, be observed with the eye. Thus Helmholtz, by admitting a very pure spectrum into
