CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

Practical and Pictorial Possibilities
Of TAis New Science.
Photography has been the means Of
making q great discovery. By its aid
a new Nebula was found in the
Pleiades, on the 10th Of November.
1886, by we Messrs. Henry. of the
Paris Observatory. The wonderful
thing in the a is that though the
nebula is plainly impressed on the
Photographic picture of the constella-
ton it has been thus far too faint to be
visible to the human eye in powerful
telescopes.
The Pleiades form n Of the most
interesting clusters vi stars that spsn-
gle the armament. The casual OBJ
server easily detects six stars belonging
to the group. Observers with excep-
tional visual power . see twelve
stars. A large telescope will reveal It
least two hundred stars.
The Messrs. Henry are hard-working
astronomers. The effective apparatus
for photographing the heavens now in
successful working order in the Paris
Observatory is largely the result OF the
united exertions of the two brothers.
The honor of discovering the new neb-
ula in the Pleiades therefore belongs
wholly to them.
Among the visible stars that make
up the cluster there is one of the fifth
magnitude. known rs Maia. The new
nebula seems to escape from this star,
first directing its course toward the
west, then turning suddenly to the
north and gradually fading into inv,si-
bility. The nebula is very intense. is
Of a plainly marked spiral form and
its extent is about three minutes OF
space.
The value Of photographs of celestial
phenomena has long been fully recog.
nised. But If this art succeeds in sup
plementing human vision and enables
objects to be detected that are far be.
yond the power of the sense Of sight,
then may its use in this direction be
considered as II Of the greatest dis
| coveries OF the present century.
The possibilities Of this new science
can hardly be imagined. While they
suggest what is practical, they also
turn the mind to what is sublime and
poetic and promise remarkable ma.

Stone. Working by Mac hinery.

In designing machines for dressing
stone, the first idea that appears to
have struck the majority of inventors
was to initiate the action of the ma
sons chisel or quarry X by mechan-
zeal means, and the whole OF these
have ended either in absolute failure
or in the very smallest degree OF sue
cess. The reasons are not very far to
seek. To make a ''steam stone
mason commercially successful. it
must be able to turn out a large
amount of work, and 10 do this would
necessitate the use of a considerable
number of mason's chisels. To sue.
cesstully work these mechanically
may not appear very difficult in
theory, but in practice we invariably
find. where a large number of tools
are employed, they vary in wear, from
difference in temper, material or the
work they have to do. and this is,
without doubt, one of the great reasons
Of the failure of this class Of machines.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-10-20

The Assistant Keeper of the Penitenti-
ary, Col. f. T. Shubrick, has filed with
the Governor the following report of the
condition OF the convict camps Tor the
month of September;
To His EcceJleRcy Henry ID. Mcdaniel,
Governor, etc.:
SIR-In submitting to your considera-
ton this my report OF inspection OF peni-
Tertiary camps for the month of Septem-
Der, it is very gratifying to be able to re-
port a continuation. and, indeed, an inn
provement IN the general health OF the
COnvicts. They have passed through the
summer months without any apprecIable
increase in the percentage of sickness,
and now enter upon the fall term In per-
haps more generally healthful and
vigorous condition than in any pre-
vious fall for several years. During the
month / VISITED all the camps except two,
and found everywhere good condition of
affairs. No complaints of any moment at
any of the camps, except the one located
in Stewart county, ana these l investi-
gated and brought TO the attention of the
Superintendent and asked that they be at
once corrected. During the quar-
ter marked improvement in the
health OF the convicts along the line of the
Georgia Midland is noticeable, so that
now the general health ut these camps IS
as good as at the permanent camp. The
total average of sickness in the several
camps at the date OF my visit, including
both chronic and acute cases, is only
about per cent. During the month, by
direction of the principal keeper, l inves-
tigated some alleged abuses at the camp
at Oldtown, and reported my findings,
after a most thorough investigation, to
Col. Towers, who at once ordered the dis
charge of the "whipping boss" who was
evidently the cause of the discomfort, and
we think now there Will be no further
trouble at this camp. There have been no
changes in the location of the different
camps, except the one near Lumpkin, in
Stewart county. This one mas been moved
to a point on the Macon and Athens rail
road, near Monticello, in Jasper county.
Respectfully submitted,
+. T. SHUBRICK.

morning of the oath OF August the ship
went of the ground. The anchor was
dropped then. All hands left alive helped

boarded the bark until the next day,
when two physicians, the port Captain
and Capt. Suttalora, and some men
came on board. The clothing of the
dead men were thrown overheard
and the ship was fumigated. The
bark was taken to Campeachy in
charge of SuttalOra. This was on the
10Th. No ballast was taken out. The
weather was clear and the boat made no
water. Clarke put the ship in the hands
OF Capt. Suttalora. Clarke and some Of
the men are now in the hospital, actually
dropping from weakness. There were
three pigeons on board, and two of them
died with all the symptoms of yellow
fever and black vomit. A dose of sweet
oil saved the other.
The decision of the Consul's court was
that the bark had not been abandoned,
and the sick and dying men on board re-
manned by to save her, though they had
an opportunity to 20 ashore. They recon-
mend that the underwriters bear in mind
