NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 230. 



Zeta. For notices of Mother Shipton, see " N. & Q.," Vol. v., 

 p. 419. 



C. W. B. Is our Correspondent quite certain there was a 

 naval engagement, as the words of the pedigree simply state that 

 he was on board when he died, in command of a body of Marines ? 



J. D . The wedge-shaped baths of glass, originally recommended 

 by Mr. Archer, are certainly the best. They are economical in 

 use and very cleanly. They may, no doubt, be procured from Mr. 

 Archer. The one we have in use we got at Hockin's. There is 

 little doubt that if, when properly constructed, they were told at 

 a reasonable price, they would entirely supersede baths of gutta 

 percha. 



B. P. (Warrington). We have often answered the question 

 before. Precipitate the silver in the form of a chloride by means 

 of common salt ; put this into a crucible with twice or thrice the 

 quantity of common carbonate of soda. The crucible bring ex- 

 posed to a strong heat, the metallic silver will form in a button at 

 the bottom of the crucible. 2. Use a bath of thirty grains of 

 nitrate of silver to the ounce, and drop into it a few drops of nitric 

 acid, sufficient to turn litmus paper red. 3. A glass bath is far 

 preferable to gutta percha. 



E.W. (A Beginner). 1. In all printing of positives it is needful 

 to salt the paper ; when albumenixed paper is used, it is combined 

 with the albumen. 2. We have for many reasons entirely dis- 

 carded the ammonio-nitrate of silver. We have seen very few 

 positives produced by it which are permanent. 3. Set d'or causes 

 a sort of plum colour, which is much admired by some ; intensity 

 of light alone will not produce certain tints. We have met with 

 unijurm success by trusting to the formula given in "N.& Q." 

 by Dr. Diamond (Vol. viii., p. 324.), and its ease in manipula- 

 tion has alone much to recommend it. 4. Proofs should be left 

 in the hypo, until they are quite clear and transparent when held 

 up to the light, looking like a piece of Chinese rice-paper. They 

 at first change to a reddish-brown upon immersion, but if suffi- 

 ciently printed that soon departs and becomes a very rich tint, 

 the. thin Canson's paper giving the best. As a beginner we will 

 forward you a small specimen of the colour obtained.
