PERFECTION SLOW TO COME
Many Years and the Work of Many Minds.

The distinction of making the first tography belongs to Italy. owing to the discovery by q chemist of the six teenth century that nitrate chloride of silver is blaekened on exposure to light, while the foundation of pho tographic optics was laid by Della Porta in his invention about 1869 of the camera obscura, i. e., the darken- ing of nitrate of silver by light.
 Experiments in 1777 by Seheele, a Swedish chemist. and by Ritter of Jena in 1901, in the action of rays of light upon horn silver, carried the science a step further. But to Thom- as WedgwoOd of England belongs the honor of having been the first to pro- duce photographs by the action of light on a sensitive surface produced being much aided by the observations of Sir Humphrey Davy. These Pho- tographs were made in 1902.
 Twelve years later Nicephore Niepce of Chalons-sur-Saone was the first to produce permanent pictures by the means of solar radiation, his process, described as heliography, consisting in coating q piece of plated silver or glass with bitumen.
 The daguerreotype, which did jus tice without mercy, was produced about 1889 by Daguerre and Niepce For more than twenty years the daguerreotype, facetious descriptions of which are found in the pages of Samuel Lever, Dickens, Thackeray and Reade, held tyrannous sway, W H. Fox Talbot in the meantime vain ly trying to secure recognition for his calotype process, which, by the aid of paper steeped in nitrate of silver, pro duced the negative or invisible picture now used in all photographs.
 To Howe is credited the invention of the changing box, containing a doZ en or more plates with a special form of dark bath, which can be changed with one plate at a time from the boz and then inserted in the camera fol exposure.
 Changes in photographic apparatu: with the introduction of sensitive film. supported not on glass but on a flex ible material led many leading pho tographers of the late sixties ant early seventies to seek a materia which, although possessing the trans parency of glass, would be less brittle
 To Morgan and Kidd of Richmond the fashionable photographers of thei day, belongs the distinction of evolvin: by means of gelatin emulsion tn, bromide paper new used for enlarg ing.
 The rapidity and sensitiveness o modern dry plates have given birth t flashlight pictures, produced by sea, l tering magnesium into a lamp flame | This system is now invariably uset for taking group portraits at publi affairs.

 Senator Bush. an opponent. offereda motiin to adjourn until Tuesday morn ing roll call was demanded, and it was thought that the advocates of the bill would be able to win out, but there were quite few tired and hungry members. who looked up at the sky light and saw the moon appearing over the rim. and though there were only Is members voting to adjourn on the roll call with r against adjourning, two senators came in from the cloak room before the announcement of the ballot was made. and they voted to take out for tho day. Thus a fight was saved for another day.
 The afternoon session began with a motion by Senator Jones to reconsid- CT his bill to work white convicts on the road, defeated last week The parliamentary question was raised as 10 whether or not the bill could be called up again, notice not having been given.
