THE E N EXHIBITION,

Opened " with much pomp and glori-
Gus circumstance" has closed without any
final ceremonial. Although, financially,
it has not paid its promoters, it would
be folly to ignore the fact that it has sown
the seed of a rich harvest which will be
reaped in the future by all who are wise
enough to avail themselves of the lessons
to be conned by this worldwide compe-
tition. The merits of this exhibition as
a teaching power cannot be sufficiently
studied. Emperors, kings, and princes
held it Of sufficient Importance to visit it,
and nearly the bulk of the inventive
talent of the civilised world have expIor-
ed its wonders, and taken note of all that
can aid them in their studies. But it is
not alone to the wise and to the ~inteIli-
gent that the exhibition in question has
been a Teacher and Exponent, because
it has done something for respectable
mediocrity, in sweeping away the preiu-
dices and objections which belong to efete
systems-whether in the arts and sciences.
philosophy and surgery, the graphic arts,
sanitary appliances, and general mocha

pertains to machinery, from a plough to a
locomotive. The full fruit of all the
Power shown in these departments has
yet to be realised, and if our manufacturers
are wise they will not let the grass grow
under their feet, but will be up and doing.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.
CHEMISTRY OF PHOTOGRAPHY,
(CoacIuded.)

Professor Roscoe, + RS, Of Owens
Colleg, Manchester, began his concluding
lecture on The Chemical Action Of Light on
day last, by referring to the effects Of
the solar spots upon the light, which had
been observed by Dr.. De Ia Rue aud Pro-
fesser Balfour Stewart in their elaborate
researches at the Kew Observatory. He
then proceeded to illustrate the chemical
phenomena involved 10 the art of photo
graphy, of which the following is a summa-
ry:-The action Of light upon the salts of
silver tthe chloride, bromide, and iodide1 is
distinguished as photo-chemical, 10 which
a visible change or decomposition Of the
salt is effected and as Photographic, in
which this effect is invisible the amount
of light required to cause the latter change
being far less than that needed to produce
the former. The invisible image is devel-
oped aud rendered visible by the action of
reducing agents, which act only on those
parts of the plate which have been exposed
to light. The Photographic action can be
retarded or increased by the presence OF
certain substances; thus, acids retard,

whilst certain soluble salts ofsilver increase,
the senSitiveness. The iod;de Of silver is,
photographicaliy, most sensitive in the
presence Of soluble silver salts then bro
mide, and then chloride. All substances
which absorb free iodine act as "%sensiti-
zers." In a brief historical sketch the
Professor stated that Thomas Wedgwood
and Humphry Davy, 1902, produced the
first pictures by the action of sunlight on
nitrate of silver. To 1914 Niepco obtained
unaIterabIe pictures by the action of light
upon resins, from which etchings could
be obtained. In 1926 Neipce and Dag
uerre prepared photographic pictures, and
IN 1889 Daguerre invented the process
which bears his name an i0diSed silver
plate being submitted to sunlight and then
exposed tn mercury vapour. In 1889
Mr. Fox Talbot produced his photogenic
drawing, and in l84I his talbOtype or
calotypo process photography OF paper.
HyposuIphltes were employed to fix pic
lures by Sir John Herschel in 1910. and
In 1851 Archer introduced the use of a film
of coI'odin "a solution Of guncotton sin
ether and aIcohoD a most important event
IN the annals of photography. In 1859
Professors Bunsen and Roscoe published
their determination of the chemical and
visible brightness of burning magnesium,
and its extreme richness in chemically
active rays, and proposed a lamp for burn
ing it; in 1864 it was successfully used
for photography sand on May 6 in hat year
portraits of Sir Henry Holland, Professor
Faraday, and others were taken in the
theatre Of the Royal Institution. these
portraits professor Roscoe exhibited aud
also showed some heIiochromes (~photogra-
phs in natural %coIours) %resentIy taken by
NJ. Niepce st. Victor, and lent by Mr.. John
SpiIIer, stating that the colours are not
permanent. On the wall were suspended
tables giving the foundations of a quauti-
tativo photography showing the relative
sensitiveness of various Photographic pa
pers. The lecture concluded with explain
atoms and illustrations of the process
adopted by the Autotype Company, by
which permanent pictures are produced
due to the sensibiIity to light of a mixture
of bichromate lof potash and gelatine or
gum. A number of these Interesting pic
lures was exhibited illustrated London

OF saving the Department from utter ruin,
1t was Napoleon's intention to come to
the rescue OF the dropping state Of the
forests already one year before, in 1868,
he had separated the administration of the
forests from that of the finances, the latter
of which had proved, how easily it was
tempted by the exigencies Of the times to
yield to the pressure of the moment at the
expense of the permanent interests of
society but neither under the Empire
nor under the Restoration was there
time to regulate the matter, and only in
1927 was the subject of the forests regu.
lated by a detailed Code forester.
During the subsequent period Govern
ment and individuals have progressed
steadily in the work, the former to i'm

of land were taken under forest-cuIture,
of which at the present time a very large

marriage had been celebrated in Ireland by
Catholic priest,-the wife being Catholic and
tho husband Protestant. Whom the wife sued
for support, in Philadelphia, on account OF de-
sertion, the husband claimed that they had never
been married, and set up an English statute Of
the time OF George H., providing that marriage
between Catholic and Protestant, or between
two Professionals whom celobrntod BY Catholic
priest, should be null and void. The Judge, fol-
lowing the principle laid down in story's " Con-
dict Of Lsws," held that such law VAS VIOLA
tion Of sound morals, and Of the settled prlncl-
pies Of public policy. He therefore, declared
the marriage good and valid, and condemned the
attempt which had been made to eFade it as one
of the yilest things that had ever come under
his judicial observation.
These, and all other judicial efforts to maze
marriage contract Of the most binding legal
character, without regard to mere form, are en-
titled to public commendation; especially III
country and among people where the facilities
for divorce, the doctrine of free 1ovo, and hun
dred varieties Of fantastic 1icentiousness, have
threatened the sanctity OF tho marriage re1a-
tion so seriously.

As the Euthanasia school has been revived in
England, with a number Of advocates Of the
right and desirnbilit5 OF suicide under moving
CAUSES, the statistics OF self-murder have new
interest," France has recently been subjected to
another periodical fit Of suicide, and some Gu
rious statistics have been rea1irrned. These
show that in thousand cases Of suicide by
shooting, and thousand others By hanging, the
former method is the favorite By 1nrge odds up
to the age Of 40, and the latter reGains its
strength by recruits between the ages Of 40 and
90 Just why this should be so is not altogether
clear, unless the greater impetnosity Of youth,
aud the greater elaboration Of ago, can account
for it. It has also. been discovered that philo-
sophicaI OF deliberate suicides usually occur in
the night, while unprecedented cases are dis
posed of in the day time.

The Committee on Arrangements for the
Vienna Exposition have already discovered one
important thing, if true, in regard to the dispo-
aition Of people in apartment houses "The
unfortunately unavoidable consequences OF the
living OF many in q small space" they say,
"manifest themselves in the injury Of health
and morality.'' The truth OF al this wo11ld
depend largely upon tho character Of the people
thus thrown together, re should say, and OF the
arrangements OF the apartment houses. The
Vienna idea Of morality would scarcely be
accepted as standard for American morality,
and abuses might creep into Vienna flats which
would not be tolerated in any house of New
York or Chicago, in which respectable people
lived. On the other hand, it would be difficult
to keep filth and degradation out OF the tene-
nent honses of tho conventional American
sty1e. II Vienna could have the American idea
OF morality, and America could h.Te the
Vienna style Of apartment houses, wo do not
believe thero would be tho sane cause Of CON-
plant on either side.

Some little time ago, it Was announced that
the Rev. Dr. Newman, tho pastor Of the Presl~
dents church in Washington and the Chaplain
of the United States Senate, proposed to take
pleasure-trip around the world Now it ia M
uounced that this gentleman has been rendered
the appointment Of Inspector Of consulates.
This appointment places the Rev. DR.. Newman
in the following comfortable conditions: He
draws salary from the Methodist Church in
Washington; he drawa another salary as Chap
lain Of the United Statea Senate; he draws
still another sa1ary rs Inspector of Con-
sn1ates: and he has his expenses paid
for pleasure-trip around the world.
There are few professional politicians who
have 30 good = thing. Yet the Rev. DR.. New
mans public services may be summed up in his
joint debate with Brigham Young, and his in
dorBement Of the Rey. Nr. Harlan, and lis roc

ommendaton to the Methodist clergy Of Iowa
to send that gentleman back to the Senate. The
extension Of party favors to the representatives
Of the meek and lowly Jesus is 4 practice that
cannot bo commended ut any time, but it is to be
deprecated particularly in this instance, because
the latest Of DR.. Newman's eno1umcnts is
position which requires industry ana experience.
It is notorious that tho Consular system of the
United States is in a bad condition. In some
coacs, the abuses have become q positive
disgrace, and in many others there is the
usual ineficioncy consequent upon mere
political advancement. The entire system
demands thorough inspection, with view
to practical reformation. It is not to be
presumed that any Right Reverend gen.
tleman On pleasure tour will take tho tins and
trouble, even it he had the experience and abi1-
ity necessary to such 8 task The appointment
OF Dr.. Newman to this duty, therefore, is not
simply wrong in the light Of using the public
moneys to pay the expenses Of pleasure-trip,
but further wrong in thus neglecting the press
ing necessity for roofing outnotorious abuses. It
ia to bo hoped that tho news Of the appointment
ia premature, OF, il actually made, that the Sen
ate will sec the propriety Of keeping its Chap
lain at home, where, it ho does his professional
work well, there is plenty OF it to do.

/; We hare previously made mention Of the dis-
cussion going on in England on the subject of
"Euthanasia." Mr. Lionel Io1lcmache is tho
prophet Of modern English system Of ethics,
which he explains and justifes in s. late number
Of the Fort,ighly:" He has since been REIN
forced by the authority OF Prof. Francis ".
Newman. The purpose Of this new school is to
defend tho right Of suicide, and presumably to
increase the number Of se1f-murders. mr.
Tollemache's paper merely demonstrates that
there is nothing now under the SUM-" It goes
orcr the came ground that some Of tho ancients
took in reference to the control which they u.s.
serted every man to hare over his own exist
encc. 1t Was here that tho Epicureans and one
section, aud Of course the least admirable Soc
ton, OF the stoics reached q common result BIZ
directly oppoaite modes Of reasoning and habits
of life. Tho Epicureans defended tho right Of
suicide on the same ground that they would de-
fend any other qualification Of desire; q desire
to die with them had as much claim to satisfac-
tion as desire to live. The pseudo-Stoics an.
proved OF the practice duty under certain cir
cumstances, and as the only permanent escape from
wickedness and persecution which would enable
man to bear the sings and arrows OF outrageous
fortune, So Seneca and Epicurus met here on
common ground and 80 Cicero, who did not
approve Of the Practice generally, became Cato's
apo1ogist. A1r. Tollemache's school Of "En-
thanasia is, therefore, but an imitation OF q
revival Of doctrine founded upon q rejection Of
the idoa that there is any sanctity in human life

Danreuther which has direct relation with the
great Wagner Festival to be given at Daireuth in

serious complaint has arisen among the New
York libraries, especially in the Astor Library,
relative to tho mutilation Of books the greed
Of prints~couectoTH, oxtendcrs, and illustrators
being such that they do not hesitate to mutilate
any book, however valuable it may be. The
New York Tribune Gays: ave could mention
several works from each Of which the portrait
has been systematically filched, until it is quite
uncommon to find an example OF it where
it belongs We hare seen whole sets
from which tho portraits have been taken, and
in all the old book-shops bushels Of these por-
traits are offered for sale, every one Of which
WAS stolen from = volume. Unless something is
done to restrain this mania, We shall soon hare

Princess Louise from her husband, the Marquis
of Lorue, is 3 natural consequence Of the cir

about this being lose-match and the rejoic~

finally to be permitted to marry the man OF her

Of things. This real condition WAS that the
Princess Louise had long since fixed her anec-

no necessity, however, for making for

Of the British extreme right, and might have
been neglected by the Emperor altogether. His
rim should have been to overwheln the British
left, where they we're weakest, and where tho
Prussians we're expected to join them. It has
been said that this was precisely tho object Of
Napoleon, THAT in the attack on Hougoumont
he was only manmuvering to draw OF the atten~
ton of Wellington to his right, and thus to mark
the mnin attack on bis left. II this WIS 40, why
did Napoleon send so many troops against the

HOW MUCH WILL KEEP A HORSE

A horse weighing from ten to twelve
hundred pounds will eat about six tons
of hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And
we suppose the real point to get at il,
whether one can keep his horses cheaper
on some other product than hay. This
is an exceedingly difficult question to
answer--it depends so much ON circum-
stances. We shall not attempt to answer
it fully at this time, but will merely say
that, in our opinion, three and half
tons of corn stalks and two and a half
tons of corn would keep horse year
in full as good condition as six tons of
good hay We may estimate, also, that
it will take three and half tons of oats
to keep horse year. A bushel of oats
weighs thirty two pounds, so that it will
take over 155 bushels and three and a
half tons of straw to keep horse year.
1t would take about two acres Of good
land to produce this amount-American
