Wl Discovered Photography)
One of the most interesting Questions In
scientific circles yet undetermined is the
name of the original disooverer of photo
graphy, and certainly one of the most perti
nent circumstances tending to solve the mys
tery is that which is now related of an old j
house of Soho, near Birmingham, where the
renowned engineering establishment ol Watt
& Bonlton was originally founded, and in
which house Bonlton lived. He died in 1809,
and on removing the contents of his library
many years after, there was found a large
figure-picture by West, which was on two
sheets of paper, intricately cut at the joining
place so that the line of union might fall at
the edge of a shadow, and not be perceived
ween tne two halves were put together to
form the complete picture. Further research
aiFO led to the discovery of a couple of eu-
vered-metal plates, each about . the size of a
sheet of note-paper, precisely resembling thoe
nsed by Daguerre in the early days of
photography. On each of these plates was
a laiiit image of the house of noho, souamis-
tekRbly taken from nature, and so evidently
produced by the aid of light, that all eiperts
of any authority at once pronounced them to
be photographed pictures taken directly by
means of a camera. Attaohed to these plates
was amemorandum stating that they wore
sun-pictures representing the house prior to
certain alterations made in 1791. Subsequent
investigation proved that there had once
been found a camera in Bonlton's library
answering in description to the kind of in
strument required for plates of that size!
This evidence, if substantiated, will go far to
prove that the discoveries of Niepce and Da
guerre were anticipated by Bonlton.
Mortality among Seamen. A return has
just been issued, showing the number, ages,
ratings, and Cannes oi cleat u or seamen re
ported to the Board of Trade as having died
in the British merchant service during the
year 1870. The mortality seems to be large.
if not excessive. The deaths amounted in
all to 4523, of which 2946 are ascribed to
wrecks and other accidents, 13 to murder and
homicide, 21 to suicide, 205 to unknown
causes, and the rest to fevers and other
diseases. The following list will convey some
idea of the waste of life: In 1870 of Brit
ish merchant seamen we lost 355 mates, 2
midshipmen, 10 quartermasters, 140 boat
swains, 17(5(5 able seamen, 417 ordinary sea
men, 3(52 apprentices and boys, 10 surgeons,
314 cooks and stewards, 130 carpenters, 35
sailmakers, 47 "minor capacities," 70 engi
neers, 110 firemen, 4 stowaways, and 733
'unknown. That the large majority of
these were men in the prime of life is shown
by the following list of their ages 901 were
under 21 years old, 1821 were from 21 to 30,
724 were from 31 to 40, 328 were from 40 to.
f0, 91 were from 51 to GO, 6 were over CO.
The ages of the remaining 652 are returned
as unknown. This is a painful record, but
we may console ourselves by reflecting that
although we lost 4523 British merchant sea
men in 1870, we lost 4832 in 1869 and 5237
in 1868; so that last year s return present a
favorable contrast to its immediate predeces
sors. Let us hope that a further diminution
will be observed in tne returns lor tne cur
rent year, for there can be no doubt there is
still a large margin left for improvement.
