MIR. SIMMS AT GOLDSBORO.
High Praise of the Memorial OratioI
BY Mr.. X. \. Simms.


Mr.. X. \. Simms, rising young mem
Der of the Raleigh bar. delivered the
memorial Grafton on the tenth of May
at Goldsboro. The Argus of that city
is warm in praise of the speech, saying:
MIR. Simms took his stand and made
ii speech, and such Il speech. The au-
dience stood spell-bound. enraptured,
charmed and amazed while this young
apostle of Cicero. with beaming coun-
tenance wildly portraying the sincerity
of the sentiments he uttered, eulOgized
the heroism of the private Confederate
soldier. Notwithstanding his youthful
appearance he was as calm and self
possessed as the sculptured marble Con
federate soldier that adorned the monu-
quent words flowed as easy, as. freely,
as graceful and as natural as the soft
Zephyrs that famed and swayed the
woodbine that clustered around and
above his head. There was not the
least hesitancy or pause between his
well-rounded sentences, each of which
marked il grand climax and was vigor-
ously applauded- There was one con-
slant stream of living. breathing. burn
ing eloquence. adorned with rarest flow
ers of rhetoric as pure, us sweet. as
fragrant as those blooming in the city
of the dead and lying in amassed profu-
sion on the Confederate Mound. His
every utterance thrilled, electrified and
inspired every soul within the radius of
his melodious voice"

RADIOCRAPHS
Ey New Process Made as Quickly as
Photographs,


Heretofore il has not been possible
TO make a Photograph as quickly as a
photograph. Ordinarily from one to
three minutes are required to make a
satisfactory Photograph Of hand. Mr..
Il. w. Caldwell, however, has brought
the achievements of the X-ray pretty
close to those of white light. In the
New York Electrical Review he pub
fishes two reproductions of radio
graphs; one made in one-fve-thou
sandth of a second, the other in six
een-thirty-fourths of a second; the
latter is strong and brilliant. These
pictures were made without any new or
unusual method, but it was, OF course,
necessary to use very efficient tubes
and exciting apparatus, and to develop
the negative with care. The exciting
apparatus consisted of a good, oil-in-
sulated induction coil, giving a four
teen-inch spark, and a liquid inter-
rupter making thirty-four breaks per
second. Current from the Edison
mains at III volts was used. The neg
atives were made on celluloid films laid
face down upon a calcium tungstate
screen. AS celluloid offers much less
resistance to X-rays than glass, the
film so arranged utilized the fuorescent
screen to the greatest advantage.
