Aii interesting announcement, says the "Daily Telegraph," has been made by Mr Gullick (Government Printer nt Sydney), that a few of them in the de partment had, behind the scenes, prac tically achieved natural coloured pho tography, aiid he was only waiting fot apparatus to arrive from the Old Country in order to put the work before the general public on a large scale. Foi five years he had been closely plugging away at the new art, for the past three years particularly so, and ho and tbe oiticerß of the department associated with him had produced results which would awaken sentiments of pride and interest in the people of the State of New South Wales. There was ab solutely no risk about it now. He had sent a mcm'ier of his staff to Mount Kosciusko, who had brought back 5C exquisite' pu-.ures, showing the colours of Nature absolutely as they were. When the public saw the photographs it would bo realised what a great re suit had been achieved on lines which were scarcely known in the world a; yet, although they had been introduced in Germany. Few had attempted the work outside the technical schools of i Berlin. He wanted the Government to understand that its printing office could follow in the steps of the highest trained experts that could be \ brought forward. In duo course he I would ask tho members of the Ministry j to attend and see what had been gained, and what could be done with tho new j art in the future. j _ I
