The Electric Light in Deep Water.
Baltimore American.

Mysterious flashes of light, far-reach-
ing and brilliant, from the direction of
the harbor, over the city and against
its most lofty buildings, and again
down along the water in one direction
or another, excited no little comment
Thursday night. The startling illumi-
nations were simply the result Of one of
a number of proposed experiments
with the electric light in new direc-
ton. 1t is believed by several scien-
tiiic gentlemen of the city, chief among
whom in this matter is Mr.. r. S. Jen-
nings, that eventually electric illumina-
tion may be made most valuable in
deep-water investigations. The theory
has not been practically demonstrated,
for the experimentation is as yet in its
infancy; but it is thought that, under
proper conditions, the electric light can
be so applied as to brilliantly light up
the bottom Of a body of water, even
though the depth be 100 to 200 feet.
10 test the question, Brush electric
light machine was mounted upon
scow, with an eightchorse power steam
engine to run it, and tug was en-
ployed to tow the scow about the har-
Dor. The gentlemen interested in the
experiments were accompanied by
number of friends. The results were
not fully satisfactory, owing, principal
10, to the roughness of the water, but
the trip was most interesting one, and
the power of the electric light was
strikingly manifested. a movable
parabolical reflector was used back of
the light, which was again and again
thrown against vessels from two to two
and half miles distant, bringing them
out in clear, full view, and enabling
their names to be read with the aid Of
a glass. When the light was thrown
upon the dome of the city hall, it
lcaped GU. Of the darkness and stood
up againt the sky as if suspended in
mid-air. One of the curious features
of this part of the display was that to
persons in the city the shadows of
steamers and other vessels passing at
this time between the light and the city
hall dome were distinctly portrayed
against the white background. 1t may
well be imagined what sensation was
created by this panorama If, as is
believed the idea is feasible one, its
workings will be Of great Importance
in the search Of lost treasures, for
drowned persons, the raising Of wrecks,
the removal Of torpedoes, etc.

Blonde Hair Changed to Black.
Washington Post.


At meeting of the Biological Soci.
'ety, held at the Smithsonian Institution
last evening, DR.. d, w. Prentiss read a
paper entitled "Notes on the Action of
Pelcarpus pennatyoAus in Changing the
Color of Human Hair" Professor
Prentiss' paper recorded very remark
able case of the change in color of the
hair of lady patient in this city, who
had been treated several months for
blood poisoning, with jaborandi, Bra
lillian plant used in medicine. This
medicine. which is given to produce
sweating in certain rare cases, was first
given to the patient in simultaneous
injections, in December last. At that
time and previously her hair was a
light blonde, but within about two
weeks change toward darker color
was perceptible, which increased, until
in the middle of January the hair be-
came of chestnut brown color. In
May the color was nearly pure black,
which it still retains, although there is
slightly apparent tendency to return
again to lighter color. AS this is the
only recorded case of this plant (Which
IS not, however, in common use hav-
ing produced any perceptible change
in the color of human hair, it becomes
a matter of interest to know
how this c'ange was brought about and
how often it might accompany the use
of this remedy. A microscopic exam
ination shows the hair to contain
greatly increased quantity of pigment
matter, and scientists now await with
interest the results of future growths to
ascertain whether they will retain their
old color or retain that newly acquired.
