Professor C. Piazzi Smith, in writing from the " East

ing difficult places. With any number of wax candles
which we have yet taken into either the king's chamber or
the grand gallery, the impression left on the mind is
merely seeing the candles and whatever is very cline to
them, so that you have small idea whether you
are io a palace or a cottage; but burn a triple
strand of magnesium wire and in a momeut you
see the whole apartment and appreciate the gran-
deur of its size and the beauty of its proportions.
This effect, so admirably complete, too, as it is, and per-
fect in its way, probably results from the extraordinary
intensity of the light. Mart from its useful photographic'
