_Suggestion to Photographers._--The Rev. Charles Forster, in his _One

Primeval Language_ (p. 96.), speaks of the desirableness of obtaining

copies of two great inscriptions in the Djebel Mokatteb,--one in forty-one,

the other in sixty-seven lines, supposed to have been written by the

Israelites during their exode. In the words, however, of the Comte

d'Antraigues, which he quotes in p. 84: "Il faudroit six mois d'un travail

opiniâtre, pour dessiner la totalité de ces caractères." Is not this a

temptation to some of your photographic friends, who may be turning their

steps to the East during the ensuing season, to possess themselves of a

treasure which by the application of their art they might acquire almost in

as many minutes?
