AROUND TIE HORN.
Two American built ships sailed from
Hampton Roads within the past few
DAYS fer destinations in the Pacific, both
going by the same route aroun the Horn.
One was the large steamer Shawtnut.
making her maiden voyage, bound for
San Francisco; the other was the big
sailing ship Esllin M. Phelps, bound for
Honolulu The former went from New
port News, coal laden; the latter, from
Lambert's Point, coal laden. The own
ers Of the Shawmut expect her to make
the trip in forty-five days. but the Voy-
age will probably exceed that limit; the
Phelps is given until August to reach
Honolulu. She is regarded as one of the
swiftest vessels in her class in the world
and on her last voyage on the Pacific
made a record of an average of $50 miles
a. day. There are some who predict that
she will make the trip almost as qu.~-.y
as the steamer.

accompanied by a large flock of Repup-
licans, who are making, most of them
for the first time, a pilgrimage into the
South for the purpose of examining the

this importation of Mr.. Thompson is to

prevailing in the minds of the Repub-

those who accompany Representative
Thompson, but some OF the Democrats
here are skeptical as to the results that
will be achieved by the scheme of the
Alabama Congressman. They call atten-
ton to the fact that in nine cases out
of ten the agitation Of the negro question.
and the accusations as to the unfairness
of Southern election laws, are for pollti-

THE COLOR OF WATER.
It's Varying Shades Are Due to Two
Distinct Causes.
May Success.

May Success.
Recent Investigations of natural color in
water show that it is due to two distinct
causes-vegetable stain and suspended mat
ter. When the latter is present in ap-
preciable quantity it causes turbidity and
is not real pigment. The true color or
vegetable stain is greenish-yellow to red
dish brown. and is due to decayed plant
growth; the suspended matter is generally
mineral and often contains iron. The color
acquired by water at the bottom of a deep
pond is largely due to this cause.
Experts have adopted a method of stat
ing the depth of color in water by COM
parison with mixture of platinum and
cobalt, the color produced by one part of
platinum TO one million parts of water be-
ing taken as the unit.
Thus it has been shown that the color
OF surface water depends both on the
character of the neghbOring vegetation and
in contact with it, Water near steep
rocks, where there are few trees, will
generally be below twenty units in color
steep wooded or cultivated slopes give
twenty TO fifty units: similar but gentler
slopes, from five to hundred, and
swamp areas. one hundred to five hun
dred. or even higher. Highly colored waters
are more common in the Northern States
than In the South. ColOred water is gradu-
ally bleached by sunlight the action taking
place chiefly within one foot of the surface.
The study of color in water is of CONNER
clal Importance, because most people object
to drinking brownish water. Hence in a
town water supply the color must either
be removed or its formation must be pre-
vented. The latter is often the most eco
nomical thing to do, and it may be accom-
plished by intercepting the water from the
uplands and leading it into the streams
without letting tx pass through the swamps.
Filtering through sand will not remove
the color from water. and even clay will
take IL out but partially. Generally the
water must be altered chemically, as by
mixture with sulphate Of aluminium, which
coagulates the coloring matter. The col
or may also be remoxed by oxidation, as
with permanganate Of potash, or by ozone,
but this method is not much in use at pres
ent. The question is largely one OF esthet-
les. as natural cooring matter in water is
rarely harmful.
