PHOTOGRAPHIC POSSIBILITIES.

improvements in photography are
continually being made and the So
called impossible" in this art is be-
coming actual and real The fixing of
colors has been effected to some extent,
and though many advanced artists de-
clare that it never can be done, we ex-
pect that before long the human face
divine" will be so perfectly reproduced
in photography. that every tint and
shade of color, as well as every Inca
ment and feature, will be fixed for pre-
sentation as perfectly as if the subject
was reflected in a looking glass.
1t has been discovered that. the ac-
tinic rays of the sun, which have long
been considered the essential agent in
the production of chemical action on
Photographic plates. are not "the one
thing needful." Experiments have es-
tablished the facts that the same rays
which produce vision can heat body
also, and do Photographic %work, and
that all rays have similar characters
tic properties Also that what is called
light is a physiological phenomenon
and has no actual existence apart from
eyes. 1t has been further shown that
all the effects of light can be dupli-
Gated in photography with suitable cleo
trio apparatus.

will at once be seen, and that it is

FOLLY IN THE SENATE.

The personal attack made by Senator
tTurpie upon Senator Aldrich in the tar
liff debate on Monday may have been
unseemly and of a character untitled for
so august an assembly as the United
States Senate. But the Senator from
Rhode Island has been exceedingly pro-
voking, not only by his obstructive tao
tics but by his repeated assertions as
to alleged secret agreements, which
have been so frequently denied by sena-
tors who ought to have known of them
if they had occurred. Notwithstanding
these deniaIs, Senator Aldrich has re-
iterated his statements, until the In
diana Senator bounced upon him with
the scathing remarks reported in our
dispatches.
1t is a matter of great regret that
the precious time is being so shamefully
wasted by the partisan and personal
sQuabbles that are delaying the passage
of so important a measure as the tariff
bill. The whole country has become
impatient over the paltry and needless
disputes that are of daily occurrence in
both Houses of Congress, but especially
those in the Senate. The people want
a settlement of the tariff question, not
endless debates on points that have
been discussed until everybody is weary
with their. endless iteI>a ton
If the Democrats are wise in their
generation, they will see to it that all
future delays as to the tariff bill are
caused by the Republicans. They should
refrain from the long and exhaustive
essays on protection and free trade and
tariff reform, which would read we'll
enough in pamphlets, no doubt, but
which are now unnecessary and only
a public infection. Let the Republican
Senators spout wind and spit fire as
much as they please. and let the Demo-
Gratis be content with the brlefest kind
of rejoinders, pressing forward for ac-
ton and determined on the final vote
at as early date as possible. This will
be of greater party value than all the
eloquence they can bring to bear on
this question
Business is unsettled, troubles are
increasing, discomfort is spreading.
everybody is irritated over the delay in
the determination of that which alone
can bring about renewal of prosperity.
Make the needfuI amendments without
prolonged debate. Do more voting and
less talking. Action is demanded. not
oratory. Some sharp replies to fallacies
and falsehoods may be permissible,
but there is no need to discuss those
general questions which form the issues
between the two parties, because they
are understood, and they are not re-
lpeated with a view TO convince any
Senator, but for popular pabulum and
there is for it no public appetite We
hope the Senators will keep their tenn
pers and bride their tongues. Pass the
bill and give tariff reform chance to
| show what it can do. Let there be no
further delay, for the whole nation is
agitated and rapidly becoming angry
over the senseless waste of time which
marks the course of Congress on the
! Wilson bill.

MAcADAMIzED ROADS.

Now that the county court has
moved in the direction pointed out by
The Herald some time ago, as to
macadamizing some of the main ap-
proaches to the city, it will be in order
to make another suggestion in the
same line. That is. when repairing
becomes necessary, as it will before
long on the best macadamized road
it should be understood that the mend.
ing must be done thoroughly. Also
that the work should be closely in
spected to see that there are no spots
in it which will quickly give way
to form depressions in which water
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-05-01

will sink from a rainstorm and soon
render the roadway uneven.
If the road is properly rounded up
and the material evenly fixed in the
beginning, rains will wash'it but not
find soft spots to sink into. If such
holes are made by that or other means,
and few loose pieces of rock are
tumbled into them by way of repairs,
they will be kicked hither and thither
by horses hoofs and lie on the road
to roughen it and do damage to both
horses and vehicles.
Repairing of macadamized road
needs to be done with as much care
in ramming and leveling as in the
first making of the road. The soft
spot should be cut out. good material
be filed in. and the place rendered
smooth and level with the surrounding
space. This will make a good job of
it and will be cheaper in the end than
by continual patching in botchy
way.
Good Roads," a publication which
all road supervisors should read, gives
some instructions on this matter with
Illustrations. and says:
This plan takes longer to mend a
given piece of road than the more COM
mon process, but the cost in the long
run would be less, because when a
road was repaired it would be fit to
use and the surface being compact
and held in place would shed water
as well at the repaired spot as any
where else, while the dumping in OF
loose material not only does not shed
water but it even helps to keep the
place wet.

levident, for it will not easily rub off,
IF piece of Photographic paper takes
the place of the glass, it will have the
imprint of the coin made upon it. 1t
is not needful to have the sparks fall
upon the coin. for, if it be Enclosed in a
dark box, brought near to an electric
machine having short sparks passing
between its knobs, the ether waves set
up by the latter will be sufficiently short
to affect the Photographic surface,
which may be developed afterward in
the ordinary way. So it is actually pos
Isible TO take photograph of an OBJ
Iject in absolute darkness, with the ether
waves set up by working an electric
machine. Not much has yet been done
in this direction, but it is a new clue to
chemical possibilities, and one may con-
lfidently look forward to the time when
the qualities and colors Of surfaces Of
many things will be changed to suit the
taste by an application of electric waves
|of suitable length to bring about the
proper chemical reactions; and an cleo
trio machine may become necessary
adjunct to the apparatus of the photo
|grapher."
The following, on, the same subject,
lis taken from Chambers Journal:
A glass plate six inches square is
put on table for insulation. On it is
placed coin, with a strip of tinfoil
passing from it to the edge of the
glass; and above this, again. is put
the glass to be impressed, which
should be about four or five inches
square. Above the glass a second coin
is laid. This glass should be scrupu-
lousy clean, and dry-polished with
leather. The coins may be chemically
cleansed or not, and may be of any
metal without affecting the results.
The poles of a Winshurst electrical
machine, giving three or four-inch
sparks. are connected to the tinfoil
and the upper coin, and the handle
turned for two minutes, during which
Ione inch sparks must be kept
pressing. On examining the glass
thereafter, no change is visible to the
eye. even with the help of a micro
scope; but when either side is breathed
on, clear frosted picture appears on
the side Of the coin which faced it, so
minutely perfect that even sculptor S
mark below the head can be read.
The breath appears to adhere to the
parts of the glass answering to the
sunk portions Of the device, making
these appear white There is fine
graduation of shade, corresponding to
the depths of the cutting, and the
raised parts of the coin appear black.
The microscope shows that there is a
deposition of moisture over the whole
surface; and the size of the minute
water granulations increases with the
darkening of the shade Of the picture.
The disc is surrounded with a black
ring about a quarter of an inch broad,
and this is sometimes marked with
radial lines, caused by the milling on
the edge of the coin.
The possibilities of photography,
with the development of knowledge as
to electricity, are so great and mar
Vicious that the word impossible ought
to be stricken from the photographers
lexicon. as it has been from the vocab-
ulary of the profound student of natu-

The absurd and Obstructive plan of
requiring majority inst aad of plur-
atty to elect a candidate at any cleo
ton has been abolished in most parts
Of the United States. Maine used to
apply 1t to ali elections, but discarded
1t for state elections some years ago
The rule is stin maintained in cities,
however. and Bangor has recently held
two elections, neither of which result
ed in a clear majority for either of the
two leading candidates for mayor, ow-
ing to the scattering votes. The ques-
ton now goes to the City Council for
settlement. This fresh example Of the
exoensiveness, Inconvenience, and 9TH
er defects of the system has aroused
demand for the passage of a law
making a plurality everywhere sufic-
lent to elect.
