HOW HARsoR WAS CLOSED.
Official Report of Admiral Toga Re.
gardine Blocking of Port Arthur.

The official report OF Admiral Toga
relative to the blocki.s - -. Port
Arthur harbor entrance states that five
of the eight stone laden vessels which
were sent in were sunk side by side,
thus completely closing the channel,
except at one side, where there is a
space large enough to permit tor
pedo boat 10 slip through
The venture was very costly to the
forlorn hope, which undertook the
task of blocking the channel A storm
was in progress at the time and the
sea was running high. Then. 10 this
was added the terrific bombardment
from the land forts, which was di-
rected at the escortin. fleet of tor
pedo boats This kept the latter at
distance and they were unable to
save but a few of the heroes who took
the steamers in, most of whom are
| believed to have persisted.
| So far as known there were / 80 men
on the blockading detachment. OF
these but SO returned in safety and
half of this number were wounded
Fifteen are known to have been killed
and the rest are missing 1t is be-
lieved from Russian reports that so
may have reached shore and the rest
re undoubtedly drowned.
All of the known dead and missing
have been promoted and their families
pensioned. The gross tonnage of the
eight steamers sunk was 1918 and
their ages varied from Is to 25 years,
Three small Russian steamers have
damaged the boilers of two of them be
fore they surrendered. The third is
now in the Japanese service.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that the earliest practical information
as to Daguerre's process Of catching
and holding the figure of his camera
obscura came to America through Pro-
fessor S. F. B. Morse. In letter to a
friend in America, to be quoted in Abb
raham Bogardus' "The Lost Art OF the
Daguerroetype" in the May Century,
Professor Morse tells of constructing
the first danguerroetype apparatus
made in the United States, from draw
ings furnished by Daguerre.
"My first effort Professor Morse
writes, was on a small plate of sill
vered copper procured at hardware
store, and, defective as the plate was,
I obtained a good representation OF the
Church of the Messiah, then on Broad
way, from a back window of the New
City University. This believe to have
been the first daguerreotype made In
America"
