tremely dangerous, and the ship was
compelled to drift with the pack while
the captain strengthened the collision
bulkhead with chain cable, and with
the aid of the carpenter constructed
collision mat to prevent the hole,
which was large enough already, from
spreading under the pressure OF the
ice. Two tim bers, nine feet long,
served as a foundation, and across
these were nailed four foot lengths of
two-and- a. half inch plank. The face
of the mat was covered with oakum;
and the continuance was held in place
over the hole by chain cables passed
completely under the ships keel.
taut, and made fast to the deck on
either side. A smaller mat was fitted
over a smaller hole on the port bow,
and with her nose thus protected the
vessel pushed her way into open water,
only to have her defenses torn off by
the high seas which unrestrainedly
poured into the yawning apertures
eyery time she took header into a
wave, and poured out again in cata-
racts every time she rose to meet an
other. Fortunately the collision bulk
head proved strong, and the steamship
finished her voyage without further
mishap, and no more plates were
ripped from the bow.
The ice is likely to increase rather
than to diminish in the Atlantic for
the present. but steamers about to sail
from the other side will doubtless take
warning from the ships lately arrived,
and follow the more southerly course
of the liners while this unusually large
quantity of ice is floating about in the
wonted paths of westbound shipping.

county in the seventies He went To-
the national democratic convention of
1854 as one of the delegates from the
state at large. He was an earnest ad-
vocate of Cleveland's nomination for
President at that time, and was vigor-
ously opposed by the strong sentiment
in the Georgia delegation in favor of
the nomination of Mr.. Bayard. He
was emphatic in his belief that good
politics demanded the nomination of
Cleveland, and before the meeting of
the convention the handful of Cleve-
land men on the delegation had con-
WINGED the ma ority Of the delegation
of the wisdom of such nomination, and
the vote of Georgia was so recorded.
After the convention of 1854 Col.
Walsh opposed the effort to displace
the tariff plank of the platform of that
convention, and substitute for it the
sweeping tariff reduction policy that
was being urged, and which afterward
received the approval of President
Cleveland in his famous message of
1887. He believed that it was unwise
and impolitic to precipitate such an
issue upon the country on the eve of a
Presidential election and has held
from that day to this, that had the party
manifested more conservatism, Mr.
Cleveland would have been elected as
his own successor. In the convention
which nominated Colquitt for governor
for third term Col Walsh led the
Colauitt forces, lacking but few
votes of the necessary two-thirds re-
quired to nominate, and the convention
finally adjourned, recommending"
Colquitt to the people by the adop-
ton of Col. Walsh resolution offering
this solution to the problem; but Col
quit was elected by majority of
fifty thousand.
Col Walsh is a man of exceeding
liberality in all of his views, religious,
political or otherwise. He is man of
marked liberality, and while a mar
ried MANI having no children of his
own, has educated several young
men in Georgia colleges. He is great
believer in, and an enthusiastic worker
for the industrial development of the
south

Duplicating the Effect of Light by
Electricity.

A. f. Dolbear describes how the eff
fects of light can be duplicated with
suitable electric apparatus. If coin
be laid on Il plate of glass and n few
sparks from an electric machine be al
lowed to fall on it the glass surface
will not appear to have been affected
after the coin has been removed. But
if the glass be breathed upon the image
of the coin will at once be seen. That
it is really engraved on the glass sur
face is certain, otherwise 1T could be
easily rubbed off. If Il piece of pho
tOgraphis paper be substituted for the
glass it will have the imprint Of the
coin on it. 1t Is not even necessary to
have the sparks fall on the coin, for il
the glass be inclosed in q dark box and
brought near to the short sparks Of an
induction machine, the ether waves set
up will affect the Photographic surface,
which may afterward be developed in
the ordinary way. In this way it is
possible to take the photograph Of an
object in absolute darkness, j. e., solely
by means of the ether waves set up by
the sparkling of 4 static machine. Prof
Dolbear, while pointing out that this is
at present an almost untrodden field Of
investigation, looks forward to the time
when the qualities and colors OF the
surfaces of many things will be
changed at will by the application OF
electric waves OF suitable length,
whereby proper chemical relations may
be established, and he believes that the
electric machine is destined soon to be-
come a necessary adjunct to the appar-
atus Of the photographer.

about in the North Atlantic, and many
of them have been greatly delayed by
it; not that they might pick up mid
ocean cargoes to ease the strain in the
ice-1eam market. but in lodging
about among the bergs and foes that
experienced navigators declare are Of
unusual frequency and size this year.
The passenger steamers are generally
taking more southerly routes than
usual, and so have to certain extent
avoided the frigid dangers experienced
by some of the foreigners that have
recently arrived. The usual track of
west bound steamers is literally
blocked with vast plains and noun
tains of ice that are bearing down on
the Labrador current and bringing the
possibilities Of arctic travel almost to
our doors.
The Kansas City on her last trip this
way had to bear away far to the south
west to avoid thirty -four big bergs;
and the American clipper ship General
Knox sailed along great ice field in
which the lookout counted thirty-two
bergs. These may of course have been
the same as those sighted by the Kan
sas City, in which case, however, the
statements gain in confederation what
they lose in variety.
The State of Georgia, a freight
steamship from Aberdeen, struck into
an ice pack off the coast of Newfound-
land, that grew more and more COM

was finally compelled to change his
