"Plain paper is floated on a bath of acetonitrate of silver, prepared of 25 grs. of nitrate of silver, 1 fluid oz. of water, 60 minims of strong acetic acid. When well moistened on one side, the paper is removed, and lightly dried with blotting-paper; it is then placed with the prepared side downwards on the surface of a bath of hydriodate of iron (8 grs. of the iodide in 1 oz. of silver). It is not allowed to remain on this solution, for if this were the case it would become almost insensitive. The silvered surface must be simply moistened with the hydriodate--the object being to get a minimum quantity of it diffused equally over the silvered surface. The photographer accustomed to delicacy of manipulation will find no difficulty in this. While still wet the paper is placed upon a glass (face downwards), and exposed in the {254} camera for periods varying from 10 to 60 seconds, according to circumstances. In sunshine, and when the object to be copied is bright, 5 seconds in this climate (India) is sufficient. Excellent portraits are obtained in shade in 30 seconds; 60 seconds is the maximum of exposure. The picture is removed from the camera and allowed to develop itself spontaneously in the dark, then soaked in water, and fixed in the usual manner with the hyposulphite of soda."--_Athenæum_, Jan. 10, 1852. * * * * * Replies to Minor Queries. _Alterius Orbis Papa_ (Vol. iii., p. 497.)--It was Pope Urban II. who, at the Council of Bari, in Apulia, gave this title to St. Anselm, the cotemporary Archbishop of Canterbury, who was present, and, in a learned and eloquent discourse, confuted the Greeks. See Laud's _Works_ (Ang.-Cath. Lib.), vol. ii. p. 190.: note where the authorities William of Malmesbury and John Capgrave are cited. E. H. A. _"All my eye"_ (Vol. vii., p. 525.).--An _earlier use_ of this "cant phrase" than that given by MR. DANIEL may be found in Archbishop Bramhall's _Answer to the Epistle of M. de la Milletière_, which answer was first published in 1653:-- "Fifthly, suppose (all this notwithstanding) such a conference should hold, what reason leave you to promise to yourself such success, as to obtain so easy a victory? You have had conferences and conferences again at Poissy and other places, and gained by them just as much as you might _put in your eye and see never the worse_."--Bramhall's _Works_, vol. i. pp. 68-9., edit. Ox. 1842. The Archbishop elsewhere makes use of the same expression. Of its origin I can say nothing nor of "over the left." R. BLAKISTON. _"Clamour your tongues," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 169.).--Surely, surely, the "_clame_ water," in H. C. K.'s extract from _The Castel of Helthe_, and which is set in an antithetical opposition to "a _rough_ water," is only _calme_ water; by that common metathesis which gives us _briddes_ for birds, _brunt_ for burnt, &c.
