New Flash-Light for Photographing.
At a regular meeting of the Washington
! Chemical Society held last evening DIR. Thos.
Taylor Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture exhibited new fash light in
tended to take the place OF several kinds which
| have OF late proved highly dangerous in prac-
tice. The composition of Or. Tayiors new
dash-light consists largely of charcoal mada
from the silky down of the milk weed a form
Of carbon which he prefers to all others, be-
cause Of its freedom from ash. A few
grains Of this new composition placed
punk match paper psodussS s prompt and
binding fash, wh4ie it was observed that the
paper on which the powder rested WAS not
even scorched The flash being instantaneous
| the heat ID not sufficient to ignite the most in
hammable material on which the powder may
| rest. DIR. Taylor demonstrated this by using
| with the same paper Tor q base, an inferior
hash-lght, which set fire to the paper at once.
This 10 owing to the comparatively slow COM
ousnon OF the chemicals used in the inferior
| grade. DIR. Taylor said that the powder Of
his new hash-ligbt will not explode cit her by
conclusion or friction.
