to be Il modification of a photographic

But il so happened that in 80 doing

This unexpected development caused
no little establishment. and he carefully
reneatcd the experiment with various
coins, connecting one wire with the
com and pressing it firmly upon the
paper While the Other wire was at

always the same, no matter whether
the coin was gold. silver or bronze.

we think of the present quest. What
