Do you thoroughly appreciate the fact that in using

To show the correctness of this by an example: - The distance between tape and copy is 13 inches "i1 h a camera extension of 24 inches, stop one inLh diameter, equal to f/2.; : and in another case the distance to the tape from the copy is 26 in., with a camera section of 12 iuchcs, with a stop one inch in diameter Of course, if the tape had been left in the firmer position, 13 in. from the copy, instead of using 60 in., 15 in. would have been sufficient. This way we can save on magnesium, but my own feeling is that it is better to reject in the calculation concern.

There is no loath to remove the print from the solution and keep it up to ligbt, yet one scmetirnes observes a beginner who repeats this action from force of habit half a Llozen times during the decomposing. of a priut.

A negative that has just been removed from the wash tank should not be left to dry on the shelf, with its lower edge against the woodwork; nor should the negative be placed on any of the four corners while the film is still soaking wet. In either case, the moisture will suck up the dust adhering to the board, while the density of the bottom edge of the negative will often be uneven; and will be different from the upper part. Before placing the negative to dry and immediately after removing it from the wash tank, it should be wiped with a piece of cotton wool.

This new departure has been made possible by experiments and researches which have been unceasingly carried on with a view to it, and the culmination _of years of labor will be realized in the work emerging from the St. 34 was turned out; of the "hole process" is that light as we know it is composed of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, or, as it is more commonly known, the colors of the rainbow. These colors in turn are mixed from the primary color sensations of blue, 11reen and red, which also have their complementary hues of yellow, pink and blue.

So the next step is to print some of the three negatives in some way that will restore the tints to their original combination. The negatives taken by the original filters are now printed separately on their respective films, which consist of pigments, suspended in gelatin, with the depth of yellow, pink and blue, which the spectroscope has shown to be the correct complementary. tints. 34;Even now we have three separate pictures on thin films, the colors of which, it is clear, must be on a paper support before the picture is finished; that is actually what is done.

Now we have what is truly described as a photograph in color, which is neither more nor less than a carbon print, which is acknowledged to be the only absolutely permanent photograph known."

HERE AND THERE

Cafe, on August 14th, at which His Honor Justice Docker presided, went off in the usual pleasant manner common to all the Society's social functions. Following the toasts in h•1nor of "Our King The President of the Scciety The Craft," and " Absent Friends," was a motion "That the meeting send a message to congratulate the South Australian Photographic Society on his 21st birthday - August 15." The motion was received with cheers and carried unanimously. DEAR Sm,- The schedule of the upcoming exhibition of the above society is at hand. I can endorse the president's eulogy and congratulate the Society on its various proposals for the future, for the committee seem determined to do more than merely follow the examples of their predecessors.

We are pleased to note that the proposed adoption of the interpretation of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain as to the meaning of the terms "technical and scientific photography" is here advocated for the adoption of this interpretation by photographic societies generally throughout Australia. Social and informal meetings will be held from time to time, the first in August to celebrate the coming of age of the association. In previous numbers we have called for the establishment of such records throughout the Commonwealth, and have spoken of it as almost a necessity.

Of course, many of the historical features of the last 70 years, since the founding of the state, have been irretrievably lost, but many remain such that in a few years they will be lost. If the Company implements its policy in this regard, these will forever remain with us and our descendants. Briefly, the purpose of the proposed survey is to acquire and preserve a permanent record of:-(r) the landscape, geology, and natural history of the State.

Briefly, "Social life and public information of present-day South Australia, and reproduction of old prints, maps and records of South Australia of the past" Several auxiliary groups have already been reached. to the Society to assist in securing "photographs of the past," and, no doubt, as the project becomes better known, a large number of copies of valuable old photographs will find their way to the photographic society's librarian. .

This will remove some of the glycerol and allow the normal developer to get to work. The parts of the print protected by pure glycerine, which are not reached by the developer, will disappear in the cleaning bath, leaving pure white p;i.per. Following the previous remarks, this must be left to the discretion of the worker, depending on the nature of the intended result.

W The 2nd monthly meeting of the above association was held in the club rooms on the 1st inst., where three interesting and instructive papers were read by gentlemen. He clearly explained the nature of the slide ie. density, etc., are required as a basis for the colors. This is a new branch of photography, and will no doubt be followed up by many of the members.

At the annual meeting of the Association on the 14th, Mr. Leitch was elected president for the following year. 34;In Richmond to Lismore" was an excellent example of composition and colouring, and justly shared in the honors of the show. A MEETING of the Photographic Society of South Australia was held at the Institute, North Terrace, on the 12th July last.

On July 18, the Northern Tasmanian Camera Club annual meeting was held in the club premises.
