Sir,—In a recent number of your journal I observed the suggestion of using a mirror when taking a picture of a corpse; this wrinkle has been in use in the States for many years. It is also generally practised in making copies of old photographs; it is found to be of great service in copying Daguerreotypes. Indeed, I have rarely seen a copy made in America without the mirror being flashed on to the picture to be copied, but I do not know whether it is in general use in England. With regard to the method of printing cracked plates, as mentioned in your last number, in use by Mr. Mayall, a somewhat similar plan of printing cracked negatives has also been long in use on the other side of the Atlantic; they there use string merely to support the printing-frame, as bottle-jacks are unknown in America, owing to the use of closed stoves. The meats are all baked, and a roast joint seldom seen ; hence, a bottle-jack would be looked upon as a great curiosity by the untravelled Yankee. The exportation of a cargo of bottlc-jacks might be a good thing, as they would doubtless be soon disposed of amongst the large photographers of the States. Pray do not let me take up too great space, but I cannot help noticing your paragraph in the " Notes ” of a recent issue, viz., the use of gelatine plates in America. 1 cut that out, and forwarded it to the manager of a large studio in New York, and await a reply ; but I fancy one reason why the Yanks, are behind us in the new process is because the light being normally better in all parts of America, the exposure is always less than in England; hence there is not the extreme desirability of obtaining ultra-sensitiveness to shorten exposure. Another reason will, I think, be found to militate against the use of gelatine in America, and that is the extreme heat during the summer months, necessitating, as it does, with the present wet process, the use of ice in all dark rooms there. From what I have seen of America and Americans, they amble along together at a very com fortable pace, which is sometimes better than taking a long stride to step in a puddle.—I remain, your respectfully, Photos. THE SILVER BATH. Bear Sir,—I think the thanks of many iu the pro- 0881011 are due to Mr. Blanchard for his kindness iu pub- If the intensity of the light be fairly constant, Warnerke’s sensitometer may be used advantageously in lishing his excellent method of making and managing the negative bath.* I have expected every week to see a letter from some one, acknowledging, as it ought to bo acknow ledged, the kindness of many such eminent gentlemen in the profession, who, instead of keeping such valuable information to themselves, kindly give it to those who need it most. I mean tbe large number of photographers who have to work on from day’s end to day’s end, and who have hardly time to grapple with the inevitable troubles, and are without time, or perhaps ability, to solve intricate chemical problems. Having tried the method as published, 1 found it yield most satisfactory results ; it gives you always the negatives one could only get sometimes, and since using it work has been a pleasure. I do not believe such negatives are possible by any dry process known at present. But here I must stop. On trying to renovate the used-up bath, 1 have met with decided failure ; the negatives are hard, and want detail in the shadows, and the bath works much slower, and I write to ask him to give me kindly a method of converting the used-up bath into solution for the printer that will yield good prints ; if that can be done, the photographer could revel in a succession of beautiful new baths.—Yours very respectfully, A Poor Photo. totally unreliable. Besides, unless the vanes were much larger it would be too trying to the eyes to count the number of revolutions. I have found an admirable “exposure regulator” in Maelzel's metronome. As well known to most of your readers, it is an instrument used to beat time in music. By adjusting the regulator to sixty on the graduated scale you get one beat per second. As a loud “click” is given at each beat, the time can be accurately determined by the car. The “ click ” is plainly audible even at a distance of forty to fifty feet, so it is not necessary to have the instru ment in the studio at all. I find one beat per second the most convenient for studio work, but those who desire two or three beats per second have only to slide the regulator to Nos. 120 and 180 respec tively. Thus it is easy to time an exposure to one-third of Photographic Actions. — At the Metropolitan County Court of Bloomsbury, on Friday last, the case of Seymour v. Stevens was heard, in which the plaintiff, a photographer, of the Euston Road, sued the defendant to recover the sum of £2 odd, being for photographing the tomb of the defendant’s late wife. It appeared, from the statement of the plaintiff (for whom Mr. Thomas appeared as counsel), that on the first proof of the photo graph being sent to the defendant, he objected to it, and wished to have some of his relatives included in the photograph, and consequently the plaintiff was put to the trouble and expense of taking a second negative, of which proofs were sent to the defen dant, and application made for payment, when the defendant again objected, and refused payment. Hence the present action. The defendant said he objected to the second photograph on the ground that the picture was too crowded, and that the relatives in the foreground obscured a view of the greater part of the tomb. The plaintiff said that it was impossible to avoid this. The defendant himself selected the size of the plate, and sug gested the position of his friends in the picture, and the defen dant’s instructions had been carried out to the letter. The learned Judge considered the photograph in Court a very good one, and ruled in favour of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, with cost of counsel and solicitor. Sobinson v. Con don.—William Robinson, schoolmaster, Brough, sued Arthur Condon, photographic artist, for the sum of 18s. for breach of con tract. Plaintiff stated that defendant undertook to supply him with photographs of the children attending his school. When the photographs came to hand they were imperfect, and not sale able. Ho wrote to defendant to that effect, in reply to which ho stated that he would compromise the matter either by taking the photographs back, or re-taking the children. His Honour: The question is, are they reasonably good? Defendant: Yes, your Honour, they are; but of course you must bear in mind that you can’t take good photographs individually of such a large number of children. Plaintiff stated that the photographs were taken out of doors. Defendant had his own choice cf time, position, and background. His Honour (looking at a copy of the photograph): That is you in the background? Plaintiff: Yes, your Honour, it is. His Honour: Woll, it is very good. I don’t think they are so bad for out-door photo graphs. Plaintiff : I have shown them to some of the parents, and they fail to recognise their own children. Defendant : You must be mistaken, as I have sold several copies of them since 1 took them. His Honour (to plaintiff): Well, your own photograph is very good. At the same time, the likenesses are very small. Defendant: Yes, your Honour; of course they are not lifo-size. Plaintiff: I bought a number of these photo- ’ See PuorogRAPIIIC News, May 7th.
