Photographs in War.

Y - {, F~ ~ &%
ALondon correspondent writes:-
1t will be remembered that at the
seige of Paris the beleaguered man.
aged to communicate with their
friends outside by means of pigeons,
which carried minute photographs
of private letters or public journals.
This idea has now been expanded,
and micro-photography is likely to
come into very general use in war.
Mr.. Baden Pritchard, one of the
principal officers of the chemical de-
partment of the Woolwich Arsenal
laboratory, has just received from
Paris, where he has been investigat-
ing process said to be perfect for
the production of maps and plans on
a minute scale and Of no appreciable
weight. But the French operator
makes the photographs quite unne-
cessarily small, SO that it requires .
complicated microscope Of high
power to read them. Mr.. Baden
Pritchard proposes, seeing that to
double the size of photographs will
still leave their weight less than
three grains, to employ only a mag
nifying glass of low. power. Thus
in his cartouche-box Or in his bin
acular case an officer may carry tiny
maps of all Europe, which may be
studied by being simply slid into a
small magnifier something like a
collapsing stereoscope, only, of
course, wit b but enc glass. The
material employed for the maps is
gelatine, tanned by alum, then
washed with colodion and castor oil.
It is virtually leather, perfectly
transparent, smooth, flexible, water
proof, imperyious to heat or cold,
and, as I have said, of hardly any
weight, so that the staff maps of all
Europe1would not weigh an ounce
or occupy q space greater than three
inches by half an inch. They will
probably be adopted into our ser
vice in the course of the current

The District ofColumhia is pressing its cla IN

about twenty years ago. 1t was manly
with this mouey that the railroad was
constructed from Alexandria to the Long bridge,
The route thence being by means OF omnlousSs.
The Old corporation OF Washington su:d Tor
this debt during the late war, but the sale then
made has stree been set aside. Lately, however,
MIR. Fra, els Miller. representing The Dl>trlcf,
has been prosecuting the matter before judge
k,ith, Ia the Circuit Court Of Alexandra. De
was iusi about to obtain a decree OF sale When
the Alexandria and Frederickshurs Railroad

tie PENNSYLVANIA Company, which owns also

t!al $3.50 land damage therefor had oeen as
sess.d The Alrxandria aud Fredericksburg

there was 10 legal power ly which one ralro%o

now to b. a fair prospect for the District to g
