a Great Discovery phirg
in Colors.
Is. f. Bulletin. |

Since Daguerre made his great
discovery by which he could take
accurate impressions on plates by
the aid of solar light, large num-
ber of scientific men In all coun-
tries have been engaged in perfect
ing this discovery. The ambrotype
was an improvement on the dag
uerreOtype; then came the photo
graph, crude at first, but now so
perfected that it gives accurately
the outlines and details of every
Object with mechanical accuracy.
Then, the process was SO far i'm
proved that Impressions could be
taken instantaneously. Thus, the
race horse, flying over the track,
was photographed in every phase
of his gait. The swift railway
train and the swift steamship
could be taken at the top of
their speed. But the experiments
to find process of taking impress
ions in colors had been going on
for nearly forty years, with only
moderate advances towards the de.
sired end. Now and then we have
heard of important discoveries
which promised a solution of the
whole question. Men have devoted
their lives to this one discovery,
and have died without obtaining
the secret. 1t has never been
doubted by scientific men that the
secret would yet be given up. 1t
would be possible to photograph
from nature so that an exact tran
script cOuld be made as perfect in
color as 1t has been done for years
in mechanical outline and detail.
1t was reserved for a German
scientist and inventor, Joseph AL.
bert of Munich, to discover pro-
cess Of producing photographs In
colors. We have before US two ex
amples of this process sent by the
inventor TO Toby Rosenthal, the
well-known artist now temporarily y
residing in this city. They are
probably the only specimens of the
kind ever seen on this side Of the
country. They resemble water
oolors, and would readily be taken
as very good examples of that kind
of work. Mr.. Rosenthal thinks
that this discovery will, In time,
revolutioniZe most of the methods
employed in the pictorial arts. The
process has now been 30 far ad.
vanced that all the primary colors
are taken with great facility. Most
of the experiments heretofore made
have been prosecuted on the theory
that the photograph of colors must
be taken by one process or impres
sion as the coloiI less photograph
is now taken. The experiments
were all failures.
Albert discarded this methoG
which bad been SO fruitless, and
turned his attention to o careful
alaysis of the three primary colors
in nature, viz: red, yellow and blue
Afterwards he was enabled to trans
fer colors one at q time II
their respective proportions ol
negative of all the red qualities
contained in the object to be repro
duced. Then he took O negative o
all the yellow colors, aud next, al
of the blue. The camera Is ad
jusJed land that process is probably
a secret) so that the exact percent
age is taken of all the colors men
toned. The next process Is also al
important discovery by the sam
inventor, viz: the photograph
press. The plates having beef

the inventor, the sheet OF pape

THE FEVER SHIP.
Tho Templar in Quarntiue in San Francisco
Bay.

The ship Templar, whose remark
able voyage has given rise to so
much attention, has been taken in
charge by the Health Officer, and
removed to Saucelito. DR.. Meal
lister says there is no material on
board for the fever to work upon;
yet all that can be done to put the
ship Il sanitary condItion-such
as thorough fumigation, destroying
the upholstering, boiling the cloth
ing of the crew, and paint
ing the cabin and the fore
castle-will be done. This will
take some days, during which
no communication will be
allowed with those on board.
Already supplies of medicine, pro.
visions, and fresh water have been
furnished for their comfort.
Twice in the history of this city
has the dreaded yellow fever made
its appearance, and on Government
vessels. The jamestown and Os.
sipee arrived from Panama and the
Mexican Coast, on which there had
been q fearful mortality, but no
case of the yellow fever has ever
been known to have been contract
led on shore Alta.

settling down between Cornell as

to favor the latter because of hi-
