a Pleasure. Mounting Prints

READ THIS. IT WILL PAY YOU.

These Machines will mount prints DRY, an<l without blistering, cockling. buckling. rlislocating, or any of the usual troubles met with in mountin~, They will mount prints on Paper, Cards, Cloth. T issue Paper, or, indeed. on any surface or material used in modern mounting.

They are T i me S a vers a nd Money Makers . YOUR PRINTS LOOK TWICE AS WELL when mounted by the DRY MOUNTING MACHINE. Any photograph, even a crumpled or creased copy, can be mo11nted on any sort or condition of mount perfectly and rapid ly. It matters no t whether the mount be thick cardboard or the thinnest tissue-the result is certain and satisfactory.

The essence of the process lies in the use of a patent adhesive fllm. which, by means of a heated press, fixes the photograph to the mount in an instant Simultaneously, if it is so desired, the mount may be plate-marked. The film thus interposed between the photograph and the mount itself, serves not only to join the two together, but to protect the picture from the colouring matter of the mount, ensuring that the picture will he permanently protected from spotting or discolo.uratioh. There is, of course, not the slightest fear of distortion, for the picture is subjected to no mois.tenin~ process. The adhesive will affix a photograph as readily to Japanese Tissue, as to Metal, as readily to hand-made paper as to thin card. The hot press gives silver prints a surface similar to that given by the burnisher. With glazed P.O.P. print~ the surface is not aHected, and with platinotypes, bromides, carbons. and ~um prints, the mounted prints retain exactly the same surface as before mounting. Glazed, Matt, or Rough surfaces can be equally well preserved.

The process will also commend itself on its own economic side. Any grade of paper or card or other material can be utilised as a mount, including thin mounts. plate-sunk, with wide margins, instead of the thick made-up mounts now used. There is, of course, no loss through spoiled prints.

A NEW MODEL OF THE FAMOUS " SANDE~SON CAME~A." The " Troplo&l" Model .. Sanders on .. Hand Camera.

The " Tropical Sanderson " Is constructed of selected teak, a wood renowned for its great damp and heat resist. ing qualities. The woodwork is polishe<l instead of being leather covered, leather covering, no matter how carefully carried out, being liable to rot and peel when exposed to damp atmosphere. The Cameras are brass­bound in all vital parts, and the bellows are specially attached with br<itss plates to the body of the Camera No Camera destined for tropical use can be absolutely reliable unless all the ioints, combings and edges are tongued with brass. Wood alone, even teak, is bound to warp, and in an instrument of precision, like the " Sandtrson," there must be no warping and no weak places. The " Tropical Sanderson" can be confidently recommended for export to India and the Colonies. It is essentially the traveller's Camera, for nothing is sacrificed to appearance, and every practical point has been considered.

PERJL\PS it is safe The Cinematograph to say that not

in Science. one in a thousand of those who

sit and look at moving pictures at a cinematograph exhibition ever think of the possibilities for unique and valuable instruction that lie within the scope of the instrument, the results of which they enjoy purely as an amuse­ment. Our public, and, it is feared, those who occupy posititions which should demand a thorough acquaintance with the possibilities of this great mechanical instructor, on ly think oF 1.the cinematograph as an instru­ment to' amuse. In the great home centres of sci en ti fie thought, the cine­matograph is used now to convey m-

struction in a way that was ne\·er dreamt of a few years ago. Medical science is enriched in an inestimable measure by the aid of this wonderful instrument. In operative surgery it is now being used to demonstrate the scientific skill of great surgeons to thousands of students, who otherwise could never hope to see what those great specialists are doing or have clone for humanity. How valuable it would be to our students, and, indeed, to the entire profession, if the important operat ions could be shown by animated photography of such renowned specialists as Langenbeck, the elder, of Maison­N euve, of Volkmann, of Billroth, or of Pean. Henceforth the cinematograph will store up the technical demonstrations of eminent men, and, in every quarter of the globe, display their skill to those who have not the means or opportunity of being present at the operation. In any case, major surgical operations happen only at long intervals, and then only privileged surrreons are admitted near the operating table, and each one can only concentrate his vision and mind on one phase of the operation. It is not possible to note at one t :me all the proceedings minutely. The cinemato­graph comes to their aid, and instead of the privileged few being the onlookers, the many student and professional men in all quarters of the globe can see, study, and minut~ly grasp again and again the complex and delicate movements of

30 THE AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL. FEn. 20, •os

the surgical instruments and the methods employed by men of genius.

Do we sufficiently realize what this means to humanity the world o,·er?

It is not claimed that the cinemato­graph can demonstrate the whole field of surgery. In major operations much can be minutely and thoroughly studied by fixed projections, diagrams, &c., but the animated photograph can give that subtle something called skill or genius­the individual method and style of each eminent surgeon, and lo! it is within the reach of all, and at all times afterwards.

- ---o----IN our last issue

A New Phase of Us. we gave an ex-tract from the

Presidential address at the Royal Photo­graphic Society of Great Britain, which touched on a most surprising phase of photography in relation to ourselves. The President said, in referring to the pictorial or art tendency of the public­presumabl y the British public-" \Vi th regard to such part of it as is influenced by any particular cesthetic feelings, this is still practically uneducated, and neces­sarily moves very slowly, but signs are not wanting of its movement and sym­pathy;" and he goes on to prove this feeling, but must actually come to the Dominion of New Zealand for an illus­tration. "Out of the 132 pictorial photo­graphs which the Society sent for exhibi. ti on to New Zealand no fewer than 49 found purchasers there; that so many people were sufficiently interested to purchase works of a purely pictorial nature is certainly a proof of widening interest." \\'e are so accustomed to being told by many wise ones amongst us, and indeed many more who \' isit us from other lands, that we are, as a people, devoid of artistic sympathy, and that sport and other physical pleasures absorb our spare proclivities and cash-

this testimony, to what we might call our higher natures, from a prominent leader of the artistic movement in Great Britain is unction to our souls. That we have people amongst us hereaway from the great pulsing heart of cestheticism in the very old, and, perhaps, very tired home countries, who appreciate art, and, above all, art photography- no gaudy daubing to dazzle the savage eye, but the quiet, grey or brown gum, platinum, or carbon, is certainly a thing to lift us beyond cavil. The President reasons that "It may be that in these newer and less conservative lands photography has not so much tradition and prejudice to contend with as here."

Possibly that is the core of the truth. \Vith us there is but small room for tradition. Even in our political and commercial life tradition influences us but little. \ \' e look straight at " the thing" with fresh eyes, and value it accordingly; in fact, we have no time for irksome tradition. And yet its in­fluence is strong within us for all that. It is like an old tooth stump, we love to keep it, but when it troubles, it must go. Race tradition is part of our being, but in a new, young form, and perhaps this is why we buy works of real art, at least those of us who want such. Let us hope the number will steadily increase.

that repeat in the waters below. But during his stay not a shower fell ; he could only imagine the beauty he did not see. It is safe to say that around the harbour in wet weather, pictures can be obtained that should be beautiful, and m the bush the tree-forms assume a character not generally pictured. Our land is not always a land of sun-glare, when the needed rains come we welcome them, we feel joyous, not gloomy, and pictures representing that ti me of general rejoicing should be sought for at the risk of much wetting and discomfort.

In addition to these articles, there are many others which. though not absolutely necessary, will be found exceedingly desirable and con­venient.

THE CAMERA.

\Vhen looking about for a camera, the amateur will be confronted with a choice of any one of the many makes offered to the public. Every camera should be strong, made of seasoned material and substantially covered. Further than this, little can be said ,

The purchaser can buy a camera of relatively simple construction, one in which he needs but set the shutter and press the release; there are others, again, of varying degrees of complexity of movement and consequent increased power of adjustment, with rising and falling front, lateral movement, reversible, swing back, etc.

HAND CAMERAS.

It is since the introduction of hand cameras that amateur photography has become extremely popular, and it is to this class that the following instructions particularly refer, though they are for the most part equally applicable to tripod cameras.

It must be remembered, however, that time exposures cannot be successfully made with the hand camera, as usually carried, and that for such purposes it must be placed on a tripod or other stationary stand.

SHUTTERS

used on hand cameras are either the ordinary button shutter-the kind used on the cheaper variety of camera - or the pneumatic shutter, which is generally found on those of a higher grade.

32 THE AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL. F@. 20, •os

These shutters are usually adjustable to speeds varying from one one-hundredth partofa second to one second, and to time exposures. All pneumatic shutters are fitted with either iris or revolving diaphragms, generally the former. The newest type of shutter is automatic in its action, and does not require to be set before being released.

THE FINDER

assists the operator in properly locating the view on the plate, and is generally attached to the bed of the camera.

FOCUSSING SCALE.

If the object to be photographed be near at hand, judge the distance as nearly as possible, and secure the front so that the pointer is directly over the proper figure on the scale, which indicates feet.

If the object is far distant-more than one hundred feet-bring the arrow to the point on the scale marked G, which means "general focus " On some focussing scales, where there is no G mark 100 is its equivalent, and is used for all objects one hundred feet or more distant.

THE LENS.

However the prospective purchaser may suit bis fancy, he must recognise this as a fact: Without a good lens he can never hope to be successful.

The exterior of a camera may prove very de­ceptive. Many of the unfortunate victims of cheap cameras whose appearance was similar to those of a high grade have discovered, too late, that the lens, the soul of the camera, has been sacrificed to other parts relatively of much less importance. A customer will be best secured in this matter by depending on the guarantee of a reputable manufacturer.

Two kinds of lenses may be necessary: One, the Rectilinear, which is a double lens, best answers general requirements, and can be ob­tained at moderate cost . In confined positions, such as interiors, narrow streets, or in photo­graphing high buildings, this lens will not answer, because the field which it covers, about 50 degrees, is not great enough. For such work it will be necessary to use a wide angle lens, which generally has an angle of from So to 90. degrees.

A perfectly clean lens is essential to the best results, and it is therefore advisable occasionally to examine the objective. Should it require cleaning, this should be done with a soft linen cloth, very slightly moistened with alcohol. Both surfaces of each combination should be cleaned, The method is preferable to using chamois.

THE DARK-ROOM.

The simplest form of clark-room is to be made in any attic or cellar, or for the matter of that, any room in the house where the windows c~n be readily stopped up, so that absolutely no white light can get in at all. The light that photo­graphers work hy must be red or yellow. In almost every house there is a cupboard or attic which can be spared for the purpose, and it is better than darkening a room temporarily, because unless the photographer is particularly careful, he may spill some of the solutions he uses, and stain or otherwise spoil the carpet or articles of furniture. If running water is to be had in the room, so much the better; it saves the bother of taking it in in a jug, and af bring­ing away the waste in a pail. But no one need despair, should these conveniences be unobtain­able Some of the best photographers of our acquaintance have had no elaborate provisions whatever, and have done all their work in a cupboard, with the simplest appliances.

Now as to the light. If there is a window in the room chosen, it must be, as we have said, completely blocked up. It is easy to do this, by nailing two or three thicknesses of brown paper over the panes, or by making a sort of screen to fit loosely into the window, and be removable when done with. A portion of this screen, instead of being covered with brown paper, may have a piece of the yellow or ruby paper, supplied for photographic purposes, stretched across i~; two thicknesses will be necessary. In this way, all the light that comes into the room will be of the right colour, and will :10t affect the photographic plate. Failing a room set entirely apart, the bath-room is probably the best for the purpose, the window being blocked up by a movable screen, as men­tioned above.

If it is not convenient to use daylight in this way, one may buy a little dark-room lamp, such as every photographic dealer supplies. The whole principle of photography, it must be remembered, depends upon this fact, that the dry plates are sensitive to white light, but yellow or ruby light does not produce any effect on them unless prolonged for a considerable time.

To continue the arrangement of the dark­room . A rough table should be provided to work upon, or failing that a shelf will do. Then one wants also a big jug of clean water, a pail for the waste, some dishes to develop, fix and wash in. Porcelain dishes for the latter oper· ation should he bought, sufficiently large enough to take two or four plates at one time.

towards art, that, when culti­vated, so truly refine and give great happiness to the pos­sessor of the gift? Surely the possession of this gift is some mysterious provision of

ature in return for a depriv­ation of other qualities. It is well known that those in­clined artistically are oft en cor­respondingly poor in the sup­p ly of commercial facu lties. It seems to me that ature's gifts should be strenuously cu lti vated, and jealously guarded, for, granted there is no "money in them"-and that idea is an exploded one, there is a huge amount of p'easure and happiness to be derived from the inte ll igent pursuit of art as a recreation_ Having duly slipped in my humble protest on the for­bear ing reader, I trip gai ly to the business of my theme.

study of perspective drawing in black and

white, and general art tra111ing in the early years

of his life. One can see through all his work

the pictorial tendency, also an individuality peculiar to himself. ?.1r .. Styant-Browne leans towards landscape and seascape, the former mostly, as his excursions to the seashore have not been as often as he could have wished. He has been a steady reader of the craft's literature, and closely studies the picture work of such men as Demachy, ] ohn II. Gear, ] . C. S. Mummery, Chas. E, Wanless (in landscape), and C. Pu yo, J. Craig, Annan,'!ancl ,Dan Dun­lop in figure and portrait work. He is an ardent admirer of the bold seascape work of F. ] . Mortimer. These di1·ersifiecl studies cer­tainly denote a catholicity of taste, but he sees mucl• to admire and study in them all, especially as he is not of the fuzzy type school, nor yet of the / /64. He likes softness and breadth, and strives for the rendering of the long shadows of evening or morning effects, which he.:considers are much more pleasin:{ than the glare of broad day for his feeling. ?.fr. Styant-Browne is an advocate of the stand camera for serious: begin­ners . He thinks the facility of the hand camera is too alluring. The stand camera allo11s time for composition and delicate adjust­ment of tbe subject on the ground glass, which is part and parcel of a good training, also lenses of different foci may be used where an import­ant picture is being studied, and. altogether , the stand camera permits and i11l'ites much calm and deliberate thought, 11hich in itself is a pleasure to the worker, and a very important part of a beginner's training. The hand camera, he considers, requires much more ski ll and ex­perience, backed up by a ready intelligence to seize just the right moment, and amount of subject. Of course, he allows for a broad margin of exceptions in the every clay use of both cameras. His own outfi t for some years past has been a Thornton Pickard Tourist whole plate camera, with a battery of three Wray lenses, a single landscape lens of 13in. focus, a r.r. of II~in., and a 7in. r.r. wide angle . He often uses the single combination of the r.r., giving about 22in. focus. This gi\'es many results not obtainable with the shorter focus lenses. He uses ortho plates a good deal, consicl<)rs their rendering of landscape being much truer in tone "alues than ordinary plates, and he always carries a yellow screen, to use when occasion requires. H e does not "fake" (I wish they would find a nicer 11·ord for our poor work) much, beyond printing in c louds

when necessary, a>Hl lightening or deepening siiadows by working on negative. He relies much more on the natural supply of light and shade in the subject, often waiting a long time until these are satisfying, and then judicious exposure and carefu l nursing in development for bi s general effects, rather than too much after work. He counsels c lose study of good masters, both in painting and photograpby­find out their ideas and then penetrate their methods, your own individuality asserts itself later. Considers Australian art, notwithstand­ing the much adverse, irresponsible opinion to the contrary, is steadily and surely ad1·ancing. He is confident that pictorial photography has a high mission, and is a good thing for young men to take up, for many reasons, not the least of which is the occupying of spare time, which would be, perhaps, otherwise wasted , in a less desirable way. As a pure recreation, from an intellectual and moral standpoint, he considers photography, seriously entered upon, is of great value to the community. He believes in the prize list at exhibitions, either in moderate sums of money, trophies, or medals, thinks it would draw more and better work than the simple certificate. The club of which he is a member, and many other clubs, discourage the sale of pictures, so he points to the prize list as a legitimate way of getting some return for the worker, and, as an incentive, is sure, from his own experience, that prizes do good, and are appreciated. By all means, at our exhibitions, have an open c lass where possible, and invite the good foreign workers. It is educational. At same time have a local class or an interstate. He thinks it is a good plan for successful and representative clubs to send an occasional ex­hibit abroad. His own club has done so on several occasions, when they ha,·e not been disgraced, and this helps to stimulate best work, when the object is to send it abroad. By all means try and induce the leading workers abroad to send exhibits here. Get our men to send in best work, frame it, and send it to England, the Continent, or America. H e is sure this will bring in return good examples from those countries' workers, and its educational value to us is not easily computed.

Mr. Styant-Browne takes keen, practical inter­est in colour photography, and has done a good deal of tri colour printing. Finds it intensely interesting. lle is now immersed in the ''Auto­chrome," and his enthusiasm is getting beyond his restraint !las to do vegetable gardening as a sedati1e 11hen the glory of colour is about to overwhelm him.

Mr. Styant-Browne, in the writer's opinion , is a man to be admired-and loved, by all serious workers-male and female, tolo C(f!/o.

He has sincerely loved his craft and art alway. His enthusiasm for it has attracted others to the charmed circle, and gi,·en pleasure to those whose eyes are made to see. He is a highly gifted amateur, of great working capacity, and in England, India, South Africa, and Australia his pictures have been successful in competitive photography. The advanced and exclusive Photographic Society of India has awarded him the silver medal of the society. This he has a special affection for. His son (Mr. F. War­land-Browne), though quite a young man, is following in his father's wake, and has scored many medalled successes in landscape and portraiture, the latter vineyard he culti,·ates assiduously. And, in concluding a particularly pleasing task to the writer, I would congratulate the Northern Tasmania Camera Club on ha,·ing such a man for their Hon. Secre tary as ?11r. F. Styant-Browne.

Photography at Brooklands.

(Special L ondon Correspondent to the A, P, J.)

SNAPSHOTTING the motor races on the Brooklands track provides excellent tests for the speeds of shuters and plates, to say

nothing of the skill of the photographer. The track is about three miles in circum­

ference, and is a triumph of engineering skill and enterprise.

Cameras are almost as much in evidence as motor cars, and all sorts and conditions of in­struments are to be seen, from the fin de s1ccle half-plate of the press photographer to the five shilling magazine camera of the school boy. The majority o f the amateur snapshotters seem to have little idea of the comparative speed at which their shutters and the motor cars work. and the usual method is to make the exposure while the cars are passing the camera with a shutter that will only work at 1-roo sec.

The developed results would make interesting examples of how not to do it.

The average speed of the cars when racing is from 90 to roo miles an hour, and it is extremely difficult to press the lever at the exact moment they are opposite the camera, as the motors seem to flash past the spectator.

The track is an ideal arrangement for photo­graphic purposes, as it is made of cement, and on this white background the cars stand out well, however short the exposure may have been.

To obtain even fairly sharp pictures of the races the focal plane shutter must be worked at the highest possible speed, and the slit on the blind reduced to a minimum .

If the shutter is worked at r-1000 sec. the cars will have moved about two inches in that time, so some idea of the difficulty of obtaining good broadside photographs can be imagined.

One of the illustrations reproduced here shows the two cars racim: in the famous deal heat at the first Brooklands meeting, the e~posure was only r-rooo sec., but even then the lront car is slightly blurred.

Of course, press photographers are present in force at the races, and at one of the last meet­ings of the season, when a fatal accident occur­red, the conduct of several of these gentlemen

was certainly anything but creditable to their profession, as they tried to force their way into the room where the injured men had been taken.

There is a very convenient hill inside the course, from which photographs of the racing track can be taken under every advantage of light and position, and this greatly assists the numerous amateur and professional photo­graphers.

A general view of the enclosure and grand stand, taken from this hill, is gi\'en here, and helps to convey an idea of the enormous size of the track, which cost about a quarter of a million sterling.

The terrific speed and noise with which the cars pass the spectators make the races very exciting to witness, but the drivers understand their work, and the danger has been reduced to a minimum.

In addition to the actual racing and track photographs. innumerable snapshots of the spec­tators can be obtained, as interesting incidtnts and sr.enes are to be found on all sides, but the fascination of speed is irresistable to most photo­graphers, including the writer, who exposes nearly all his plates on the fastest cars, which at some position of the track travel at no miles an hour.

The Photographic Adventures of Mr. tJobly.

(By P. w. MARONY.)

THE Norfolk Island morning is a revelation

to city folk waking up for the first time in that land of" never hurry." A sense of buoyancy and pleasure comes with

every whiff of the resin-laden air that plays a gentle rat tat with the window curtains, as if anxious to hurry the laggard into the glory of sun and freshness outside. The pine trees on all sides are seen and felt day and night, not at all like the gloomy, melancholy things that pass for the real article in private and public gardens of Australia. The fine fellows that rear up their sky-touching tops here and mass themseh·es in magnificent groupings, and triumphantly fling out their spar-like arms clad in richest green­these an pine trees. They ne\•er tire the eye or weary the brain with a sadness like the forlorn transplanted members of their family in other lands These indigenous pines excite grand feelings by their native inherent grandeur of aspect; they soothe the senses with balm shed on every breeze, and weary invalids seek their vigour-giving ma11ic, freely flung to every one who breathes. ·o wonder v.e skipped and leaped like lambkins.

grandmother-a lady past seventy-cracked jokes with us, and shook with laughter as she helped Brown to a third supply of egg pudding.

"Let us saunter down lo the Prison Ruins," the Doctor said when breakfast was over, and we had rested on the vine-netted verandah, Accomoanied by our host, we made our way through fields of wild tobacco and lemon, and through belts of pine, kicking up wa,·es of sweet odour from the tangle as we went. A glorious view burst on us when we reached the edge of a hill.' The Island is full of miniature hills and glorious views . The sea and sky never looked bluer, and the hi!ls never could be greener or more lovely than when first we saw that view. How powerless to render all that beauty of colour we felt our camera to be as we, with one accord, exposed on the picture beneath us. The town of Kingston lay at our feet ; the Prison Ruins away by the green waters of tbe­bay. To the right the old convict pier jutted out past a reef that shouldered up the inc;oming see. Beefsteak Bay, \\here H.M.S. Sirius was wrecked long years ago, filled in the edge of the picture, and in the distance the red back of­Philip Island rose from the Pacific like a huge, fiery whale.

and mouldering walls - terrible evidence of a

humanity long since vanished off the face of the

-earth. Good or bad, innocents or guilty, all

gone: and the earthly houses that once confined

them fast following as if Time was slowly and

-surely dissolving the objectionable view on his earthly sheet. The residential buildings, offices, barracks, &c., are in a good state of preservation, but the prison, standing away like a lonely, diseased thing, is disappearing. The Islanders have removed a considerable part for their own buildings. as the stones are well cut and save much labour. The main entrance to the prison building is still well in evidence, but inside the walls the system of cell buildings and sentry houses are much in ruins. Right in the centre of a square the gallows once reared its terrible arm, and beyond the ruined cells range ont like the spokes of a wheel from a -smaller square in the centre. Farther on, in an­other yard, more cells radiate from their central squares. These squares were used for exercis­ing, whilst in the centre of the great enclosure bigh buildings overlook the whole; these were used for workshops and places of supervision.

Standing amongst the ruins we felt at first depressed, as no one can but feel so for the unfortunates that paid out their hard lives in -expiation of crimes, and, horrible to think, many of the poor wretches were incarcerated

for crimes that would, at the present day, be treated but lightly. We roamed about the cells, now open to the sun of heaven, their thick walls broken, and wild flowers growing on the floors where once the occupants' shackled tread beat time to their passing, weary hours. Layers of whitewash still cling to the rotting walls, and it is painfully interesting to pick off the top coat with a pocket knife, which reveals the cleaner surface beneath, on which drawings of ships, messages to friends, verses, and often prayers are scored in the plaster. All the cells contain these writings, and I confess to heartrending spasms when discovering some message of love, or agonising prayer, engraved by some poor wretch many, many years ago. We sauntered through and around the great enclosure, grue­somly fascinated by the terrible things therein. The sunlight falling on the ruins, and on the green, young grass upspringing in the squares, on the flowers clinging to and bursting through the masonry, and over ail the hills around, and on the blue ocean beyond ; while the stillne~s,

save for the dreamy suspiration of the waves as they broke along the beach outside, fell on the senses with a strange, out-of-the· world drowsi­ness.

"Hang it all," broke in Bobs, at last, "let's get out of here or I'll fancy I'm doing a lifer. I can feel the irons already on my ankles. Just listen to this." Here he read an inscription 100

years old .

We went down some worn steps, and the damp air beneath was oppressive. I entered one of the tomb-like places, and assented to having the heavy door closed.

Heavens ! how could the human brain stand this horror for a month, a day, an hour. I banged on the door, and when I had come to the brink of bottomless agony the light slowly streamed in, the door opened wider, and I rushed out into the heaven of sunlight and sweet air, past the grinning Bobs and the guide, resolving that I would revenge myself by shunning them, though really I felt ashamed o f my wet eyes and trembling limbs. I had spent a time in the deepest pit of mortal misery, from such may God protect all human kind.

" What has happened?" "Those stupid fellows shut me up in the dark

" Shut that bally door, d'ye hear?" came in maniacal shrieks from within.

The islander hurriedly pushed the door to, and turned to us.

"Open that door," I commanded, in as steady a \'oice as I was then capable of, '' The man's mind is unhinged, he's going mad. Doctor, for

"I think this is rather too serious for joking." the doctor said, as we moved to the door, against which the islander had placed his back, "You had better open it now ."

"\Veil, he.II perform if we let him out," the hardened man said, "he told me not to open it under a quarter of an hour.''

"Open the door, sir!" I shouted in a threaten­ing manner, when he resigned his position and, with violent jerking, we opened the heavy door. Bob's language was awful. Tl.e poor fellow bad suffered untold agony I knew.

"V.'hat in all the blinded creation of cats did you open the door for when I told you not to ," he yelled from the depth of the cell.

I entered to the rescue and beheld, through clouds of tobacco smoke, a crouching figure, sprawling like a sitting hen, on the floor.

"Come, poor chap." I said soothingly," come, let me help you out, I know what you've suffered. Forgive me for-''

"Oh ! put your head in a bag,'' he snarled, with all the symptoms of a deranged mind. "D'ye know what you've done? You've spoiled my best pictures. You are all a lot of crack-

A short time afterwards we beheld Brown being led towards the hideous cell by the excited Hobs, who waved his hand towards us as we sauntered away. He was evidently explain­ing the advantages of the horrible place as a changing room, and also denouncing us for our unnecessary efforts in saving him from what we conceived as a horrible danger.

I said to the doctor, "Let us get away from this place on to those inviting hills, where we can breathe the air less pregnant with reminis-

"Thanks, doctor, but I dont feel as if I would be of assistance to you in your scientific quest, so I'll just get amongst the bracken on the hill yonder, 'till we meet again later," and I shouldered my camera, and abandoned myself lo the cool recesses of grey lichened rock, fern tangles, and cottonwood bowers, and soon re­covered my usual calm in the presence of a ioothing, majestic Jature; whilst the deep green shadows, and the musical hum of the giant pines enraptured my senses, and made me forget the horrors of the morning. I sat down hy a fallen pine and surveyed the beautiful scene around. Presently a pair of phesants walked into the open glade, billing and bowing. Sweethearts of

the wilrl. The male bird coquettishly strutting in attendance, his quivering topnot, the insignia of the true lover 's knot, and both glowing and sheeny in their dress of golden brown feathers . Edwin finds a bunch of choice berries and quickly runs to Angelina and, with much coquettish bowing and picking, leads her to the banquet. Alas, I mused, the birds of the air are free to mate in this earthly paradise, those sweethearts are but the reincarnated spirits of Io,·ers of a bygone day, and here am I separated from my mate three hundred leagues, lonely and pining for the gentle sympathy of the chosen one.

RODE into Georgetown " with one eye," the other, for all practical purposes, might have been non-existent, as a bulldog ant a night or two previously effecti­vely closed up that useful member. I was given a real sportsmanlike re· ception by the big­

hearted sporting residents, and felt at home the moment I dropped off my bike. I had not been there very long-having washed and brushed up -when a friendly individual, slightly "under the influence," professed to be a relation of mine and invited me to " the bar " Here he intro­duced me to several others ; I was too tired to remonstrate or make inquiries, as inquiries are abominable things away North. One is expected to take things as they come. However, I retired when three more relations were introduced to the convivial company-and the bar. In the seclusion of the parlour I was informed it was only Jim --- doing in his cheque-about fifty this time, but often a hundred pounds. His weakness is · " relations." All newcomers can claim relationship with Jim, and are welcome to share his cheque when be has it-generally to help liquify it, as that is the custom. They " knock down " the cheque on the Etheridge to-day as they did in the days of yore - mostly gold-diggers from" outside." They come into town after l!"lonths of hard toil, and dispose of their gold to the local bank, then the store is

next visited and old accounts wired out, while a new -rigout is bought and something put by for emergencies. The balance, generally the greater part of the cheque, is then deposited with the hotelkeeper in the good old stde and for a week or two things are lively around that digger.

nominal capital, is an old and most interesting goldfield, or rather group of mining- fields. I was sorry time was short, as I should have had a trip round. Invitations were showered upon me. Georgetown is still a primitive- looking place and, through some shadow of ill luck, capital is shy of developing the country around, which is a most extensive mineral area; over 1,000 metalderous reefs have been located here about, and the gold output a verages about 24,000 ounces per annum.

It is an out of the way place. A railway rnns from Cairns to Mareeba, 46 miles, and thence coach through Herberton tin mines, a rough road journey of 216 miles. Or it can be reached

by coast to Normanton, rail to Croydon, thence roo miles of road. The people struck me as being happy and very contented. They believe in the future of the place. The climate is very even. There is one abandoned mine close to the place which an English c:>mpany once started. The m "\nager came in great state, bringing the most elaborate machinery and two pieces of cannon. He meant to blow the natives to nowhere. His experience was gained in a Manchester cotton factory, and he was a fair sample of the imported versus the Australian man of those days.

The mine was never completed, and the

machinery rotted on the ground. The cannon were 0ne of the sights of the vicinity, and I believe the unfnrtunate manager never saw a wild blackfellow during his stay. I left George­town riding behind the mail coach to Croydon, and had it for company. The coachee never likes to be passed. He has a fine disdain for bikes, motors, etc., and when an accident occurs to these he chuckles much.

Many of the lagoons away north are well stocked with waterfowl and fish , so I find the rifle and fishing tackle very useful. I met a swaggie down south with fishing tackle, but used it for '' feathered fish" he told me. His mode of fishing was to camp near a cockie's homestead,

I have had many a hearty, if lonely, laugh at the "native companions." They certainly per­form the most comical dances which would bring down the house atthe"Tiv." If Harry Rickards could only engage a couple ! The strange thing about these birds is that they have so many different kinds of set dances. The moment I fire a shot at wildfowl, if there be a couple of native companions in sight, they start a most ridiculously defiant dance. With wings

Sometimes they hop about like kangaroos, their long legs doubled up_ They are the bush comiques or comic acrobats.

The road to Croydon is about 70 miles, and not too good, being very sandy. The coach takes a day and a half. Croydon is about the fourth largest town I've yet seen in Queensland. It is a wood and iron town : mithing whatever picturesque about it. The streets are wide, and the place has a quickly-got-up look. I believe the mines are doing well here. The great

mounds of "tailings" around the town give it a fortified look.

A couple of years ago a cyclone laid the town flat The iron roofs flew about in the air like sheets of paper, and the wonder was that accidents were few. How the people saved themselves is a mystery to me. I saw a" willy­willy" during my stay in Croydon ; it was most peculiar. A tall, thin column of dust sucked up like a waterspout at sea, it came down the centre of the street, and caused a commotion amongst the shopkeepers. It remained for some time twirling and hornpipe dancing in front cf my hotel, at a cross street, as if undecided which

way to go Around it whirled, sucking up straws, paper, dust, etc., and gaining in volume every minute. It was most fascinating to watch, and only those who suffered by such knew the danger of it. Then steadily down the street it went, forming a thin yellow column a couple of hundred feet high. Steadily it went in eccentric lines. I followed with others. It went up another street at right angles, and then along in a straight line. "Off to Chinatown," yelled the crowd. I followed, and got on to a hotel ver­andah, where I had a good view. It passed by the hotel on to the back premises, then I saw its power. It tonched a stable and up went the roof, exposing two terrified horses inside. The

great sheets of iron flew upwards, gyrating and whirling, sucked up like paper. On it went towards the poor looking Chinese tenements on the outskirts. They evidently knew not their danger, for not a soul was about. The crowd around me were silent. Some pitied the threat­ened chinkies, others smartly laid the odds, and bets were taken about its hitting Chinatown. Suddenly up, up, up went roof after roof, as it cannoned from one to the other. Young and old flitted about distractedly. They were too far away from us to hear their screams, which were awful I was told. In one minute it devastated the place, and calmly passed on to the bush,

where its stately column disappeared. By a miracle no one was injured. I remained four days in Croydon, and pulled myself together. I am not rushing against time, as I find the country too interesting, and my note book is beginning to appeal to me in a new light I find collecting material for a book takes time, besides many calls on my experience, gathered as I go, in the interests of my engagements, compel me to take time in verifying my data.

Jack has no master here, so there is no sub· serviency or arrogance . The miners are a sturdy, well conducted lot, prone to be too hospitable, but staunch to the backbone. I had to be very guarded in my social mixing, as the hotel, and nothing but the hotel, will satisfy them when a friendly shake is given . I loathe spirits and soft drinks, so I was between the devil and the sea. However, a whisper to the bar tender always saved me, and I always arose betimes in the morning. Drink!

They live principally on wa ter grasses, and have pointed snouts, whereas the dangerous reptiles of the tidal rivers and the sea, which, rightly or wrongly, they call up here "alligators," have a square nose, and are the nastiest things that man, beast, or bike can encounter.

Port Darwin. Suffice it, for the present to say the country from Croydon to the

orman River is very poor and uninteresting. Melancholy tracts of stunted gutta percha at last giving way to vast plains, which, after the wet season now expected (unfortunately for me), are covered with a wonderful growth of grass, wild sorghum, and all kinds of herbage great cattle country, I believe, but much of it bas been feet under water. If this overtakes me I shall want a flying machine to get out.

Burketown, the most westerly port of the Gulf of Carpentaria, is a queer place with a queer history. Founded in the sixties, when "Bobby" Towns and Sir John Robertson were hot on the "Far North." The latter sent a ship round to the Albert River containing so many

way's Pills-and rum. But though grim death stalked triumphant , the sporting instincts of the Australian were not to be stifled ; they had races every morning, fune rals in the afternoon, and at night--ugh ! who could describe them? Then came a flood that washed half the cattle of Carpentaria out to sea, and compelled most of the settlers to pass a week or so up trees or on the roofs of their remaining houses . For years after one saw the flood marks in the trees ten and twelve feet above one's head on the b ig plains of the Saxby and lower Flinders. After a while poor little Burketown was deserted. T hen a new Jot of sturdy adventurers came, and it was re-built.

At different periods later on it was blown away by cyclones (a cyclone gets on one's nerves

different kinds of birds (Sir John had a great'· collection, I believe) and animals that he declared

oah's Ark was a fool to it!" When Burketown was first started it was,

perhaps, the hardest drinking place in the , world, and thither flocked some of the scum of , Australia, as well as many of the best and most enterprising men in Queensland. When things were humming and money was plentiful as mosquitoes in the little port, there came a ship from Java, which left behind it some mysterious disease. Some s3.id it was "Yellow Jack," others typhoid. But whatever it was it killed almost ev~Ty man it laid hold of, for there was no doctor, and the only medicines were Hollo-

up here), and then it was burned down. One would think Providence had set the seal of disapproval on the place by this time; but the northerners come up smiling every time. They "breast the bar," or "face the music," in a humourous fashion-if it was not so pathetic.

Burketown rose again, a little tin patch of habitations on a yellow plain, right in the gullet of the Gulf of Carpentaria. (In our last number we published a photograph of the little town. -ED)

[Just as we go to press we have received another budget, together with films for develop­ment, from Mr. Birtles. He has had a hard time after leaving Burketown. The wet season caugh t

him on the black soil plains, and those who know the country will realise what that means. He has had a trying and an adventurous time, and is only now reaching the difficult and dangerous portion of his trip. At time of writing he was camped in a hut away out at Camooweal, having hung his bicycle on a tree fifty miles away, and walked to shelter. The rain was descending in torrents. His mail to us evidently got through before the country flooded. Mr. Birtles is in good heart though, and says when he reaches Port Darwin he intends to try for the record for overland cycling from Port Darwin to Adelaide. ]

Messrs'. Harrington and Co., Ltd., around the harbour and river nooks, have again been started and the second outing took place to the Lane Cove River on Saturday, February 8th. Several lady and gentleman amateurs availed themselves of the means to escape the heated city, and enjoyed a puff on the waters in a dainty motor launch . These outings are of the Bohemian sort, and instruction is given to those who ask for it, otherwise, when a landing is made everyone can follow their own bent and saunter round on the lookout for subjects, or group in with the others and exchange experiences and results-if it so please them. A cup of tea on

the return trip is not the least enjoyable item in the outings, which are becoming quite a necessity.

The next camera outing takes place on Sat­urday afternoon, March 7th.

The mcunting of a photogra2h is generally a matter for thoughtful consideration, if the re­sult aimed at is to be an artistic and neat one. \Vith the old paste system there is much trouble, and many photographers are, and ha,·e long been, seeking out new ways for quickly and neatly mounting the print so that its appearance will be enhanced. In our advertising pages will be found particulars of the new Adhesive Dry Mounting Process. If the busy and progressive man will take notice of what is there stated and follow it out to a conclusion he will not have wasted his time. It is the business of commer­cial men to introduce and advertise new things, and very many people take little notice of advertisement5; they often miss the pearl. In the present instance Messrs. Harrington and Co., Ltd., have so much confidence in this adhesive dry mounting process that they have laid in a large stock of the machines and acces­sories, and give practical demonstrations daily at their warehouse, 386 George-street. The method is simple, quickly picked up, and the results are posith·ely beautiful. Tints can be laid, phte markings can be done. and the print can be finally mounted on any kind of mount, thick as board or thin as tissue, almost in a twinkling, and no curling, blistering, or dirt, and all this can be learned by a young girl in twenty minutes. Now, can you see the value of this dry mounting process?

The Wrong Bottle.

BY N. LYKKE.

I HA VE heard of some funny mistakes being made, through amateurs not labelling their many different chemical combinations, but,

the one I am about to relate, happened while I was having a change and holiday in that picturesque part of New South Wales, the North Coast, or, to be more precise, about 10 miles from Bellingen. Now the reader must under­stand that I was labouring under g-reat difficulties, for I could not get a dark room anywhere, so had to do all my loading, developing, etc., at night. Contact printing being the most tedious of all as I had to use a common hurricane lamp, which was terribly slow, and then had to keep the frame moving to get an even light. But the worst has yet to be ~old; after developing and fixing my post cards, I had to go to the creek, which was not more than a quarte r of a mile away, to wash them . 1'~e best w_ay I found to do this was to get an empty case and put a tin bottom in it and then have the sides all bored with holes, so that the water could run through freely. \Vell, it was usual, after my midnight wanderings in this way, to bring them back to the camp and lay out to dry, often being as late as 2 a.m. I would then roll into my stre tcher bed for a few hours sweet repose, but on this particular morning I was not to have my share for I was soon aroused from my slumbers by a middle aged selector who was in a state of a rtificially induced obli\'ion. He called in on his way home, after spending the best of his night out, to see if I could oblige him with a drink, and, being Chri5tmas time I had a bottle myself. I told him he would find some down there, pointing near the foo t of my bed, feeling too tired myself to get up I left him to find it and, not bothering to get a pannikin, he drank out of the bottle-and, although it was by this time just breaking dawn, I could just see him. " The face I shall never forget." I have often since regretted that I had not been fully equipped wi1h a flashlight turnout. He had found and drank my No. r plate developer, which was also in a similar bottle but not labelled.

I send you part of a negative with defect Please let me know how to a\'oid this. I use pyro soda developer.--You do not say if you use alum after developrr; but the stain is caused by alum not being washed out before fixing In your climate this is a common defect. When the markings are obstinate in the hypo try rubbing with fingers; this helps the hypo to act.

E L.-Will you please let me know if ortho­cbromatic plates are used in the city studios for portraiture; and if you would recommend them for use in a travelling tent studio ?--They are occasionally used when the sitter is much freckled, but otherwise not much used for studio work. You will find them useful for special work, but not absolutely necessary. Develop in yellow light.

Ex. EL.-For thin negatives expose them fartber from source of light, or by covering them with tissue, whi1e or coloured; you will then get more contrast in your gaslight prints. The metal hydroquinone. or quinol, is most generally used to develop with.

PvRo.-I do not know of any society sending round the circulating album at present. Yes, a club secretary deserves a lot of credit for bis labours; he is usually a man of generous fibre, and should be valued exceedingly in a tired community.

Reducing Intensified Negatives. A correspondent wants to know if he can safely reduce some negatives that have been over-intensified by the mercury and ammonia method, and how to go about it. He can do so in several ways, all of them working evenly and slowly. The negatives should be immersed in one of the following solutions until the desired effect is secured, and then well washed and dried. Make a solution by dissolving one and one-half grains of cyanide of potassium in each ounce of water required. Dissolve 48 or 50 grains of so­dium sulphite in each ounce of the water requir­ed. Dissolve from four to eight grains of hypo in each ounce of water necessary for a bath. There is little choice, although I prefer the first, despite the poisonous nature of the cyanide.

t".ls tigmatism .

T HE term astigmatism is sometimes applied to a lens, but no camera lens. strictly speaking, has astigmatism in the sense in

which it is usually applied to defective vision. Astigmatism is that property possessed by cylindrical lenses and combinations of cylindrical with spherical lenses, of bringing a beam of light to a focal line instead of a focal point. The eyes of some people, owing to the curvature of the cornea being unequal in different meridians about the axis, possess this peculiarity. It is remedied by the optician by applying cylindrical lenses having an equal and opposite amount of astigmatism. The term astigmatism is correctly applied to cylindrical lenses, since the adjective literally means ••not bringing to a point," while stigmatic implies bringing to a point; so that when you hear the term applied to a lens you may understand its signification.

As we have said, no lens used in photography is really astigmatic. Oblique rays passing through the lens may fail of being brought to an exact point, they may give a sort of blur or coma, or they may give focal lines at different distances, a short line at a tangent nearer on towards the lens and a short radial line further out.

A camera lens having this defect produces, at the margins of the picture, a streaky effect, especially if the image should happen to be that produced from the foliage of trees, or anything having a multitude of small points of reflected light. Th~~e will be a kind of concentric streal;iness

if the pla.te . ~s to.a near .in, and a kind of radiating streakiness if the plate is further out, the central part, however. being well defined.-The Camera .

The Best Work.-A man or woman in public or in private life, who ever works only for the sake of the reward that comes for the work, will in the long run do poor work always. I do not care where the work is, the man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breaths, and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition it is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, tbat women, puts the whole country under an obligation.-JOHN RUSKIN.

To Remedy Dull Bromides.-To do away with the occasional dull appearance of a a bromide print when dry, it should, after thorough fixation and washing, be treated with a strong soluti on of gold and sulphocyanide, when a strong, brilliant black is obtained. The print at this stage should be promptly removed and washed, prolonged immersion resulting in purple tones.

The manufacturers of the celebrated Hauff's original patented developers, Metal, Amidol, Orto!, etc: , etc., have issued a most useful hand­book on the use of their photographic prepara­tions. It contains complete information on the use of these preparations, with tables for exposure, etc., and hints on development, etc . Altogether it is a helpful handbook. Messrs. Harrington and Co., Ltd .. will, on receipt of postage penny, send a handbook to any address.

The new j/y65 Aldis "Oxys" Anastigmat lens (see announcement in our advertising columns) promises to be a boon to those requir­ing an anastigmatic lens at a very moderate price. At its maximum aperture it will give results as regards the brilliancy and keenness of central definition "equal to the best obtainable with the best of modern anastigmats." So states our advice on the matter, and judging from the quality of the already well-known Aldis lenses, there is no reason to doubt the statement. The flat field of these new "0xys" lenses, over a wide angle has been secured, so that the lenses " can be used on plates much larger than those for which they are listed witliout stopping down.'' The pri,s:es are very moderate, and Messrs. Harring­tan and Co , Ltd., will be in receipt of an advance shipment of them by about April.

Plates, papers. and cameras seem to absorb all the skill and energy of manufacturers, whilst photographic chemicals, just as important to photography, have been resting. "Pakol" devel­velopers, toners, intensifiers, etc., are the latest innovation, and demand the consideration of all amateurs who desire handy, relia::>le chemicals, that are ready for use. They come to us with the highest commendation. Made up in little packet boxes, they are immediately ready by dissolving in water, and though inexpensive, a packet of Metal Quinci for ro oz. of solution, only costs threepence, -yet they are pure and reliable. "Platinol '' Packol is a new developer for gaslight and Bromide paper and gives splen­did results . Messrs. Harrington and Co. Ltd. have laid in a stock of above developers, toners, reducers, intensifiers, etc., and the demand is already brisk.

Ballarat Came ra Club.

THE monthly meeting of the above club was held on Tuesciay, IIth February, at the

School of Mines, Ballarat. The president (Mr. H. A. B. Mackenzie) occupied the chair and there was a good attendance of members. After the usual routine of business, the item on the sylJabus (short papers by members) was entered upon, which proved both interesting and in­structive. Mr. H . Hodder read a paper on "Sharp versits Soft Focus"; Mr. S. Yates on "Plate Development by Factors"; and Mr. G. H. Hutson on "Natural Colour Photography. " A vote of thanks was passed to the members for their papers, on the motion of Mr. R. Radcliffe .and Mr. H. Adair. The meeting closed at ro o'clock with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The subject for the next meeting is a paper on "Platinotype," with demonstra tions, by the president. Mr. S. Yates will give demonstrations -0f "Factorial Development."

-----0-----The Photographic Society of N .S.W .

THE usual fortnightly meeting of the above­named society was held at the rooms,

Hamilton-street, on the r4lh January. The subject fo r the evening was " Bromide Toning," and the lecturer Mr. J. S. Stening. After explaining the reasons fo r toning, and describing the various kinds of prints suitable for the dif­ferent processes, Mr . Stening proceeded to prac­tically demonstrate toning by the platinum, copper, and su lpbiding methods. Of the latter the members were afforded an opportunity of comparing the results of hypo alum, bichromate bleaching and ferricyanide bleaching, resulting in a decided expression in favour of the bichro· mate treatment , the print so toned having yielded a very pleasing sepia. For the production of rich sepias, however, the platinum process easily gains the palm, and here again Mr. Stening scored .a success, the subject of the picture lending itself in a marked manner to the very fine resultant colour. The lecturer made reference to other toning agents, viz., uranium, lead, silver, vanadium, etc., but stated that be could not recommend them as being permanent in their results, and he strongly urged members to place this quality first in the list of essentials to success.

After numerous questions by his audience, who manifested a great interest in the subject, a warm vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Sten­ing for the great amount of trouble he had taken, and he was heartily congratulated on the brilliant success of his demonstration.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the above named society was held at the society's rooms Hamilton Street, on the uth instant. Mr. J. S Stening in the chair. A most interesting and instructive lecture and demonstration on the preparation and printing of plain salted papers was delivered by Mr. A. J. Perier The lec­turer after describing the various kinds of papers, and exhibiting samples suitable for the process, explained the composition of the salting solution, and demonstrated the method of coating the paper, which when dry was sensitised with a 70 grain solution of silver nitrate. The simplic­ity of the process, combined with its exteme cheapness, was a matter of no small surprise to the majority of those present, and the pleasing range of tones to be obtained excited further admiration. With some complimentary remarks on his skilJ in manipulation, Mr. Perier was tendered a warm vote of thanks. The chairman reminded the members that the date of the exhibition of members' work had been fixed for the 25th inst., and urged those present to send in their print> without delay.

THE January outing of the above society was to the district opposite the Spit. This dist­

rict is the happy hunting ground for photograph­ers and the takeable views were more numerous than the plates brought by the members. The outing was a most successful one and the Feb­ruary excursion is to be to the same place. On Thursday, 23rd January, Mr. A. V. Wilkinson gave a lecturette on mounting and trimming. Thursday, 30th January was devoted to te~ting the lens shutters of members' cameras. The January competition was for the best lantern slide exhibited. There were nine entries, Mr. A. S. Farmer's contact slide of a picnic camp being adjudged the best. On Thursday, 6th instant, Mr. T. Heron exhibiteci upward of 300 lantern slides to a large and appreciative aud. ience. About half the number of slides were from photographs taken in Samoa which were specialJy interesthg. At the monthly meeting held on r3tb instant, Mr. A J. Perier gave a lecture and demonstration on " Photography by Arti­ficial Light." CHAS. Du:<N, Hon. Sec.
