MIR. N. D. Menken, yesterday, received
by mail a sheet of tin-foil which had been
mead Of Mr. EAiOnYfo he
about foot long and six inches wide, closely
traced with dotted unexpectedly about
thirty-two lines to the inch. If the tones of
voice were indicated by the distinctness of
some of the dotted lines, it may be inferred
that when about midway of the sheet the ora
tor was giving the alarm of fire, or MURDER
or something of that character, as the sheet
was nearly cut in twain at irregular inter
walls; and again the lines show very indis-
tinctly, as if made by low tone Of voice.
Though the operations of the photograph
upon the sheet of zinc are of the simplest
character, yet what is accomplished is of mar
velous curiosity.
