ResumoPHOTOGRAPM1IC science has suffered a great loss in the death, on May 5, of Regierungsrat Dr. Adolf Miethe, professor at the Technische Hochschule in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Prof. Miethe was born in Potsdam on April 25, 1862, and studied physics, astronomy, and chemistry in Berlin and Gottingen. After working with Prof. Hartnack in Potsdam, and then with Schulze and Bartels in Rathenow, he became director of Voigtlander und Sohn in Braunschweig, leaving this position in 1899 to become professor at Charlottenburg as successor to H. W. Vogel, the discoverer of the sensitising action of dyes on the photographic emulsion. According to the Photographische Industrie, Miethe was responsible for the teaching of scientific and practical photography in all its branches, photo-mechanical methods, spectral analysis, optics, and astronomy. He was also well versed in botany, mineralogy, and other subjects.
