manded the deed from Mrs. Helmbold,

CnAmbers JOURNAL.
Most amateur photographers have occa-
sionally met ghostly markings oil their GEL
atine plates for which they could not ac-
count, and the manufacturer is generally
blamed when such spoiled plate is dis
covered.
But it would seem from experiments late
ly conducted by DR.. W. J. Russell and de-
scribed by him in the annual Bakerian lee
ture delivered before the Royal Society In
London that several substances, some or
garlic, some metallic, will affect a sensitive
plate by being kept near 1t and not neces-
sarily in contact with IL.
Wood kept near plate in darkness for a
few days will picture itself on the sensitive
surface, the image showing when the plate
is developed. A sheet of perforated zinc
will, in like manner, give up it's pattern TO
the plate, and nickel coin is especially
active, giving an excellent copy of all it's
markings in comparatively short time.
Gum c0pral and printers ink are two of
the organic substances which are most act
lve-a reminder to the amateur not to wrau
his plates in newspaper.
Or, Russell states that the general con-
clusfon to be gathered from the experiment
Is That the metals and substances under
consideration have the property OF giving
OH VaporS which affect the sensitive sJlr-
race OF Photographic plate: that these
Napors viii pass readily through such bod
les as gelatine, celuloid collodion. etc. and
that the action is greatly intensified by a
rise of temperature

Musk, which forms an important mart
OF Thibetan outward trade is a secretion
or a small deer (Cervus moschus) This
animal occurs throughout eastern Thibet.
but the largest herds are said to roam
over the plains near the Koko Nor.
great deal of musk passes out to North
China. The consumption in Szu-Chuan Is
considerable, and there is no article more
easily smuggled. A single pod" rarely
contains more than one-third of an ounce
Of musk. The supply is less than it nlisht
be If the Thibetans had sporting rifles or
If the dangers and difficulties of the chase
were not such as to prevent Chinese mer-
chants from hunting the deer.
Good musk which is recognized by its
rich brown color and intensely punsent
odor, is bought for ten to twelve times its
weight in silver on the frontier. In Chung
King it sells for much as eighteen
times its weight in silver The musk that
goes to Shanghai is adulterated with grains
of dyed sand and other extraneous matter
to the extent, it is said, of SO per cent A
few grains of good musk viii perfume a
whole room; musk, however, is used not
only as perfume, but also as a medicine
and it is placed among clothing and furs
as preventive against moths.
It is said that practically all the musk
which passes through Ta-Chien-Lu is
adulterated by the Thibetans before II
reaches that market by means of blood
the purity of musk is running a thread
rubbed with garlic through the pod. If no
odor of garlic remains the perfume is held
to be sufficiently pure.
