like an idea of ST. Victors process but happily we a
give skeleton idea Of it from recent proceedings of the
Paris Academy of Sciences rs. 80 ~
Inc idea struck young st. Victor that there was some
relation between the color which body communicates 10
flame and the color the light develops ON nIata Of
silver which has been chlornated and he therefore
menced series OF experiments test its correctness
az knew tnat strontum gave purple color to alcoholic
hame he therefore prepared plate Of silver by passing
IL through water saturated with chlorine and the
Of srontium. He then applied the back of drawing
containing red and other coors against the plate and
posed the whole the of the sun for fifteen minutes
when the coors of the picture were produced an the
plate but the red far better defined than the others
To produce the six other rays of the solar spectrum the
same method used to produce the red color is followed
with other substances. The chloride Of Calcium for nm
orange the chloride of soda potassium or pure chlorine
for yellow and beautiful yeows have been produced by
. solution of hydrkhoric acid and a salt of copper
The green ray was produced by borc acid and the chic
rde OF nickel the blue ray obtained by double
chloride Of ammonia and "copper" and white raw with
the chloride Of strontium and suphate of copper
silver plate prepared With water calculated with hy
drochloc acid and the battery gives oil the colors by he
action of light, but the ground Of the plate il always
black st Victor found that all the substances which
produced colored flames produced colored images by
means OF light The plate upon which produce these
effects must be prepared with very pure metallic silver
The baths are made onefourh by weight of chloride and
fourths OF water After the plate is well polished
by rlpoh and ammonia, it is immersed in the bath at
stroke, and allowed to remain few minutes II is
then removed from the BATH rnsed in clear water and
held over spirit lamp till the plate becomes cherry
color at which point it is exposed to the light in the
camera takes two hours of exposure but the process
will yet be shortened The whole process to be
full must be nicely managed L. DOvILLIERS, MD
