nor is anything divuIsed by Mr.. Nerrill ex-
cept that his discovery is ii distinct inVen-
ton and a decided advance in photography.
He has experimental for several years,
but only recently met with success. He Is

cause in the instance of few cciors he
has not vet full measure of satisfactory

He has not yet secured patent right',
which is another reason for secrecy. Pro

his son presented TO him a few days ago
as a hirt,Gay gift.
The first announcement of Mr.. Verrilrs

Three plates are copies from water col

the Bermuda landscape shows the marked

speckled deep-sea fish, the doucela. the
