W. B. N., Mexico--Mr. N. says--"Will some of your subscribers give,
through your Journal, a practical and first-rate process for producing
Calotypes?"
We hope some of our "subscribers" will furnish the same.
H. B. T., Ohio.--Mr. T. says--"Will you give a ready and easy method of
detecting chlorine? I find in a former number of your valuable Journal,
that you have been making experiments with this gas. I have had remarkable
success with this gas, although not a practical Daguerreotypist."
Mr. J. will find 'this gas' is readily distinguished from other gases by
its color, odor, and bleaching properties. Probably the most simple method
of detecting free chloride is to hold a rod dipped in aqua ammonia over
it, when white fumes will be formed.
Will Mr. J. have the kindness to forward to us his experiments--we would
like much to lay them before our readers.
A Stock Dealer, in one of the Southern States, writes--"What articles of
stock will be less needed by artists, provided Mr. Hill's process proves
true, of producing pictures with all the 'colors of nature?'"
_Colors and brushes!_
J. W. S , Mich.--We forwarded the article you ordered, and enclosed the
balance in the package. The view camera you had better order soon, as it
will be some time before Mr. Harrison can get it ready, he having so many
orders now on hand. You had better have one of Lewis's _new_ Camera boxes.
T. J. C., Va.--We cannot recommend the articles you speak of; they involve
only an old vague principle, and are only worthy the person having them in
charge.
A. G. L., Pa.--The money received and forwarded to Europe--your plan may
work, but it looks a little too "opaque." You will find by heating an iron
plate, and applying it to your apparatus, will facilitate the operation
much. Chapman has the exclusive right to the patent.
E. W., Miss.--See page 24, Daguerreian Journal.
R. M. H., Ala.--You will find "Silliman's Journal" a great aid and
valuable work, published the first day of every second month, price $5 per
year. New Haven, Conn.
See answer to L. I. G., page 187.
