PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT LIGHT.-A new
process, called heliotype, by which photographs
can be printed independently Of light, and in a
permanent style, is attracting attention. 1t may
be thus briefly described: The photograph is
taken on a seeet of geatine; this sheet is fasten-
ed down upon plate of metal, and after lit
tie preparation, in which sponge and water play
a part, can be printed from as if it were an en-
graved block. Ordinary printing ink laid on with
roller, is used; and the sheet is printed in an
ordinary printing press, and with remarkable
preservation of the lights and half-tones. Oil
paintings, engravings, chalk-drawings, and any,
thing, living or dead, that can be photographed,
may, by this process, be reproduced and multi
piled in a permanent form; and when suffi-
cient number ofimpressions has been TAKEN the
sheet of gelatine can be lifted from the plate,
and laid aside for future use. This is obviously
q very important addition to the resources of
art; from 800 to 400 impressions can be taken in
day, quite independently of weather; and, if
required, the picture can be printed along with
type in the pages of a book Specimens were
exhibited at the Conversations given by the
president Of the royal society at the Burlington
house. including chalk-drawings by the old
Italian masters, landscapes, buildings, engrav-
ngs, sea-pieces, maps, and number of shatter-
ed and wounded bones from the recent battle
fields in France, intended to illustrate a work
on surgery. All these specimens were repro
duced with such skill that, in many cases, it
would have been difficult to distinguish them
from the originals.-AN the Year Round.
