Daguerre was French painter W Nhlie
painting panOramas he conceived the idea
OF helghtenlng the effect by throwing col
ored lights and shadows on them, produ-
cing the effects of the changes of day and
the seasons called diorama He was led to
the discovery OF fixing on prepared metal,
lie Plates images of objects thrown upon
them by the lens of the camera obscura.


1t was observed that chloride of silver
blackens in the sun though white as snow
when first prepared. So other subjects
were observed to change by the chemical
action OF the sun. The process OF Da-
guorre is thus simply described A tablet

with pomice or other powder The tablet
Is exposed to vapor of iodine until it be-
comes a pure yellow, and with careful
exclusion of light it is deposited in the
camera, and receives the impression Of the
rays of light coming from the object only,
all other being excluded Light coming
from the sun falling on surface not trans

eye and gives you sight of the object, with
its lights n | shades according to its refec-
tion. These reflected rays from one body
passing through the tube of the camera, all
others excluded except from the back
ground, acting chemically on the prepared
plate, make the image.

what is called the negative. that is, in the
negatives the lights and shadows answer
respectively to the shadows and lights Of
the object; while in the positive the lights
correspond to the lights and the shadows

The daguerreotype has superiority over
any process yet presented. The features
are exquisitely defined and there is min

The first scene was suggested to the wri-
ter on beholding an old and blackened
schoolhouse standing in fine grove of
hemlock. The part in rhyme is intended
to show the error and cruelty of parents
who send their children to school too young,
taking them from the fields and flowers,
birds and fresh air, and shutting them up
in a mouOtonous schoolroom, filling their
lungs with foul air, stinting their limbs for
want of exercise, and laying burdens on
their minds which will leave their evil ef-
tects upon them forever We contend
that a child should not be sent to school
until six or seven years of age. The
strength of mind and body then acquired
would enable them to far outstrip those
who commenced to study several years be-
fore.


The second scene was suggested on be-
holding the same schoolhouse some time
