-We 



have frequently alluded in these columns to the increasing popu- 

 lar! y ot photography as a fashionable amusement amongst 

 amateurs, and no stronger evidence of this could be adduced than, 

 the extensive and varied display of photographic materials and ap- 

 pliances to be seen in the South Central Gallery of the Inventions 

 l\hibition We ha^e already explained that this popularity is 

 owing in a ,^reat measure to the substitution of dry for wet plates, 

 wlii-rtby the cumbrous paraphernalia requisite for photography 

 under the old eonditiona was at once abjured in favour ot light
