According to niormation which has come to this can-try, the, problem of.

It will beremembered that pre- Viocus efforts to secure chromatic photo- graphy have been made with prepara- tions in powder form: and on the nega- tive M. Villediet-Chassagne overthrows both of these pjinciples and uses solu- tions instead of powders and operates upon the positive instead of the nega- tive. \Vithin the last “fortnight experi- ments have been made in London by Sir H. TIUeman\V 00d, the secretary of the Society of Arts, and Captain W. D’Arce3,11ith awiew to testing Ville- diam-Chasswgne’s process. .‘While bath 0! the English experi- menters started in upon their inquir- ies with decided scepticism, they were converted, if met entirely, still to a very notable degree, to the French in- ventor’s theories. The Villedieu-Chas- sagne process vs as originally suggested by Dr. Adrian Bawnsac but the recent the Bansac process, leaving only his theor) behind. The demonstration took place in a laboratory of King’s College, in Lon~ don. The gentlemen who were pro- sent were Professors Thomson and Herâ€" bert J acksom of King’s College , Sir H Trueman “food and Captain D'Abney. According to the. description of the ex- periments which is given by the secre- tary oi the Society of Arts the colors of the natural object are produced with a womderfuil similarity in the photo- graph. ~ Sir H. Tnaeman- Wood says:â€" . PRACTICALLY. SOLVED. “To say ‘that Villedieu-Chassagne’s process enables photographs to be prodhced in natural colors would not; perhaps be strictly tnue, since coloring media, are. introduced, but the result of the pmcess is a, photograph in the colors of nature, a faithful reproduc- tion in color of. the. object photograph- ed, and so for all practical purposes it may be said Thou the long sought ob- ject of photographing in colors has act- ually been bottainc-ll.” VilledieIi-Chassagne insists at; presâ€" ent. on keeping secret the. nature of the four solutions he employs; but this sec- recy will be broken, he promises, upon the perfection of the recording of the invention in 'the- various. countries of Europe.

As the cost of materials for illuminating var- ies in different localities, he has tak-i en the cost of coal gas at ninetyâ€"one cents per thousand cubic feet; of al- J cohol for use in incandescent lamps, at thirty cents a gallon; of coal l oil at fifteen cents a gallon; and of electricity at one and three-fourths cents per hectowatt. Supposing the l manstis” of. the incandescent gas [burners to last 400 hours, and to cost 'fifty cents each, and other apparatus to have the average life, he finds the most expensive: ordinary light to bethat from the incandescent electric lamps, which cost ten cents per hour, for a given amount of illumination. Next comes the light from ordinary gas burners, with openings in the form of slits, which cost six cents for the same illumination..- Argand burners, are, light for light, about 20 per cent, more economical than the other sort. Next ing alcohol, which give light at half the price of the ordinary gas burner. Ordinary coal oil lamps give light much more cheaply, the cost per unit of il- lumination being little more than one- fifth that of an incandescent electric light, but the modern gas lights with incandescent mantels are still more ec- o.nomical,furnishing for one and three- quarter cents per hour the same amount of illumination as incandescent electric lamps at ten cents. Electric arc lamps are about 10 per cent. more ec- onomical still, and are the cheapest sources of artificial light at present known to us. A GREAT \VEDDI-NG DAY. Ten thousand one hundred and one weddings were once celebrated simul- taneously at Susa, which at one time was the metropolis of the Persian Em- pire. Alexander the Great, having con- quered Persia, wished to unite victors and vanquished by the strongest ties possible, and therefore decreed these weddings. Alexander himself married Statira, the daughter of Darius; 100 of his chief. officers were united in wed- lock to ladies from the noblest Persian families, while 10,000 of the Greek sol- diers were married to 10,000 Persian women.
