Abstract

BY the kindness of Dr. Draper, of New York, we are enabled to issue to our readers this week a copy, absolutely untouched, of a photograph of a part of the solar spectrum recently obtained by that gentleman by means of the reflection grating suggested by himself, and made by Mr. Rutherford. There is no doubt that in all such physical inquiries as those in which Dr. Draper is interested all observations will in time be permanently recorded by means of photography, and to this end the labours of Drs. Draper, father and son, will have contributed in no mean degree.
