<b>BOISSONNAS, MME. CAROLINE SORDET.</b> Honorable mention at the Salon of Lyons, 1897. Member of the Exposition Permanente Amis des Beaux-Arts, Geneva. Born in Geneva. Pupil of the School of Fine Arts, Geneva, under Prof. F. Gillet and M. E. Ravel. This artist paints portraits principally.
A first-class chronometer made by Boissonnas, of Geneva, set at the meridian of Hamburg, from which Germans calculate, as the English do from Greenwich, and the French from Paris. Two compasses, one for horizontal guidance, the other to ascertain the dip. A night glass.
An ordinary barometer would not have answered the purpose, as the pressure would increase during our descent to a point which the mercurial barometer would not register. A chronometer, made by Boissonnas, jun., of Geneva, accurately set to the meridian of Hamburg. Two compasses, viz., a common compass and a dipping needle. A night glass.
