TERRIBLE
EXPLOSION IN EDINBURGH.

The most shocking disaster, says the
Edinburgh Cowant, which it has been our
lot for several years to record as occurring
in this locality took place on Wednesday
afternoon in the C%anongate, resulting in
the death of FIVE persons, and in painful
and dangerous injuries TO at least nine
others. The calamity originated in the
shop Of Thomas Hammond, a dealer in
toys, tobacco, small wares, and unhappi-
ly, in fireworks. According to his own
account, he was in his back shop ramm-
ing the powder into a rocket, when, from
some cause unknown to him a spark got
among the materials, causing instantane-
Gus ignition not only of the rocket in
hand, bat of the stuff which was lying
round about him. Though frightfully
scorched about the head he was able to
fly and call to others, but he does not re-
member the circumstances OF his escape.

fire broke out in the main street of that
town, and the houses, built of wood, lent
fuel to the flames. In the space of three
hours the greater part of the village wa
reduced to ruins-the parish church and
bell-tower and the communal hall being
among the buildings burnt down. An Ell
derby couple and a young woman fell
victims to the fire. A hundred and sixty
houses have been destroyed, and 100 FAM
lilies deprived of the means of shelter.
The loss is estimated at $500, OO0f.

ANOTHER IRON IN THE FIRE.

There is an old, homely p%roverb that
he who has many irons in the fire is certain
to let some of them burn. This as well as
most rules, appears to have its exceptions.
That extraordinary man, Professor Hol-
loway, has turned up in a new character.
Spending upwards Of $250,000 Il year in
advertising, he is a living illustration of
what success may be attained when strict
probity and close attention 10 business
arc combined with a iudicious system Of
advertising-for advertising is really a
science, one, TOO, we are sorry to say, res
pecting which very many business men
are deplorably ignorant. AS a general rule
the mar who has not gumptIon enough
to advertise is unfit to conduct any busi-
ness, and in nine cases out of ten will
assuredly fail. We don't mean to assert
that the converse of this is truc-that
every man who advertises will succeed but
we may safely assert that in nine cases
out of ten, judicious, scientific advertis-
ing assures success, other things being
equal. But, to return to Professor Hol-
loway, he has, as we said, turned up in q
new character, and one which some of
our local readers may, perhaps, turn to
their advantage. A branch Of his mann
moth establishment is entirely devoted to
the Commission business, based upon a
scale so extended as TO require the sum
of three hundred thousand pounds ster-
ling to meet advances, on consignment,
&c. The Professor gives this branch his
personal attention, and makes the moder-
ate charge Of % per cent. commission for
buying or selling There can be no
doubt that his long standing extensive ex-
p~erience, and remarkable capacity for bu-
siness pre-eminently qualify Mr.. Hollo-
way for this branch, while the almost un-
bounded sources of information brought
within his grasp, by agents and cores
pondents distributed throughout the civil-
lied and, indeed, the uncivilized world,
will render his advice an interested con-

vie w-namely, to show the lnadequacy of
a list of patents as a measure of the life
and progress of the Photographic art
but also for the purpose of reminding
photographers of what they owe to their
art. 1t is becoming too much the fashion
now 10 have patents and secret processes
in photography. Every new invention,
however trifing, is being protected by a
patent. The great discoveries who rend-
cred photography practicable gave it to
the world free /; a crowd of small follow
ers on the strength of small inventions
try in their own small interests to make
the art a monopoly. A splendid path has
been generously thrown open to them by
large-minded men; they come forward
in the narrowest spirit to claim certain
ruts in this broad road for their own.
Here are certain trans which this man
and that have laid down upon the road,
and no one but themselves shall have a
right to travel upon these trans. They
forget that photography is itself free to
them by the grace of their predecessors.
Judging by the manner in which the
prizes have been distributed, the jurors
attach less importance to the successful
practice of photography according to
known methods than to the discovery of
new developments and applications of the
art. They have not given their chief
prizes to the men who can produce the
best portraits or the best landscapes,
but to those who can render such por-
traits and landscapes permanent, M.
Lafon de Camersac, of the Rue de la Paix,
has received one Of the three gold medals
which the jury have awarded but the
business which he pursues is not that of
taking photographs, it is that of transfer
ring photographs to enamel. An ordina-
ry photograph is apt to fade, and being
upon paper it is easily destroyed but
send this photograph to M. Lafoa de
Camersac, and by a process which is not
quite clear, for he keeps it a secret, he
will transfer it with the most perfect ac-
curacy TO enamel he will pass it through
the fire, and he will return the picture to
you vitriied. He has been working at
this process of vitrification since 1851,
and year by year since then. has made
such steady progress and met with such
success that now he boasts Of having
furnished the public with no less than
$1,000 enamels. These indestructible en-
amels can be made of any size. You may
have them small enough TO be set in a
ring, and you may have themlarge enough
to hang in a picture-frame on your walls.
They do not cost much, and they are ex-
ecutcd with rare taste and fidelity. The
result is most valuable, for there is no
other method of rendering Photographic
pictures indestructible that approaches
this in the fidelity with which it repro
duces all the attributes of the photograph
to be preserved, and in the assurance of
safety which it affords. M. Lafon de
Camersac, as the discoverer Of the pro-
cess, and as it's most indefatigable and
successful worker, has accordingly been
honoured with one of the highest prizes
which the jurors had it in their power to
bestow. Other chief prizes have been
awarded to other methods of rendering
Photographic impressions permanent.
