EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY.
Pictures Which Were Taken on Waxed
Paper Fifty Years Ago.


A collection of early New York
photographs shown in lantern slides
at the New York Historical society
was of peculiar interest, not alone
from the nature of the subjects, but
because the pictures were taken
upon waxed paper negatives so years
ago, says the New York Times. The
slides were made from the original
negatives taken by Victor Provost,
one of the pioneers in photography,
who had a studio for many years on
Broadway. The majority of the
views were taken from 1852 to 1854.
The negatives were but recently dis
covered, and are now owned by w. l.
Seandlin, of Brooklyn. who gave .
brief lecture upon the views.
This collection, which numbers in
all about 900 negatives of various
sizes, some being over Is inches
square, is the largest of its kind in ex-
istence. The Smithsonian institu-
tion in its Photographic collection
has but 20 waxed paper negatives,
and the Photographic department of
Columbia university, which has one
of the best collections in the country,
has barely half a dozen of these
early examples of the days when pho
Biography was beginning to supersede
the more difficult process of daguer-
reotypes.
Among the New York views of so
years ago which were shown upon
the screen were two Of Columbia uni
versity when, as college, it occu-
pied large plot of ground at Park
place and Church street. One of
these pictures showed the east wing
of the old college hall, with vener-
able trees bordering the walk, while
the other was that of President
Kings house. Others showed the
old New York Society Library build
ing on the corner of Broadway and
Leonard street; the old Broadway
theater, on Broadway, near Worth
street; the interior of Tripler hall,
favorite Broadway concert hall; g
view of the Battery before the pres
ent park had entirely been filled in,
some old houses on Front street,
views of the upper part of the
city when buildings were scarcer
than now, and a number of West
Point scenes of half century ago.
Many of these pictures, Mr. Scand
lin explained, required an exposure
of from Is minutes TO one hour 10
take.

ENGLISH TOWNS ARE GROWING
Marvellous Expansion of Certain Mu-
inequalities in Last Half Century.

A government blue-book, just is
sued in England, publishes summary
tables of the census of 1901, which
furnish striking evidence of the
manner in which even the smaller
towns have been developed during
the last half-century at the expense
of the rural districts. Thus, says the
New York Post, Barrow-in-Fulness,
which numbered only 1000 inhabit-
ants in 1851, has now more than 81
900; Bradford has risen from 1000
to more than $4,000; West Hartle-
pood from 1000 to $4,000; and
Rhondda from 1000 to 10000. But
the growth of new towns in the
neighborhood of London, practically
extensions Of the metropolis, is still
more striking. East Ham has grown
from village of 2 1000 inhabitants to
a community of 10000, the greatest
part of this increase having taken
place in the last ten years; West Ham
has been swollen from 10000 inhab-
itants to 100000: Walthamstow has
increased from 400 to $4,000; Tot
tenham, from 1000 to 1O2, 900; Ley
ton from 1000 to 9S, 900. The steady
outward pressure of London is
shown, too, at Croydon and Willes-
den. where in each added case more
than 100000 persons have been
added to the population since 1851.
The population of London proper
(tne administrative county, has al
most doubled in the same period. 0
the other hand, the population of the
rural districts continues to decline or
remain almost stationary. Here
forsdshire and Shropshire have lost
10000 each in the last quarter of
century. In many counties the excess
of births over deaths is almost exact
ly neutralized bv migration

SILVER scARcsR AND HIGHER.

The stock of silver bullion in the market grows
shorter while the demand at an increased price is
improving The government has been paying within
the past week 1914 cents per for for PhiLa
delphia coinage. But this limited weekly purchase
hardly accounts for the present stiffness of the mar
ket If Colorado and Nevada do not materially in
crease their output the white metal is bound go
higher. The London Statist says that the real rea-
for the recent advance in silver is doubtless
due to the buying by the Indian government some
time ago on the one hand and to the smaller sup
plies from America on the other The weekly puT
chases by the United States mint. to which we have
previously referred have reduced supplies of Amer
can silver in the London market much than
had been expected As regards the recent buying
of silver by the Indian government, it time
before the London banks to the conclusion
that the mysterious buying by a certain broker
was for account of the Indian government In India
the native spectators not unnaturally slower
to recognize the facts of the situation. They saw
that certain amounts of silver had been shipped
weekly from London, and they knew exactly how
banks They naturally concluded that the balance
would come into the market but when the boats
arrived this expected surplus of silver disappeared,
having been bought by the government. There was
consequently considerable shortage in India as
well as in London, and the attempts to cover in
order to meet obligations brought sharp and tenn
porary rapid advance.
