BN United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Photo-
graphs in natural colors, made be-
meath the surface of the sea, is the
newest development in the compare
lively new field Of natural-color
photography.
After months of experimentation,
the first successful autochromes
from the ocean bottom have been
secured by the National Geographic
Society in association with DIR. w.
III. Longley, ichthyologist, of Couch.
err College.
A special technique for this new
Photographic undertaking was neces.
STATED because the common auto.
chrome plate failed to register the
moving life under water.
The dampness, heat and lack of
electric power at Dry Tortugas, off
the Florida Keys, where the expert
ments were made, forced the scien-
lists to sensitize the plates at 5
o'clock each morning, the coolest
time of the day.
Because of the greatly reduced
power of sunlight under water, a
special flash light powder apparatus
was constructed to be discharged by
the submerged photographer.
The possible suspense to men in
the boat above the diver, who were
close to the explosion caused by the
magnesium powder in the boat, was
overcome by the construction of
pontoons on which the powder
floated and which could be regulated
by the photographer without the aid
of any assistants.
The success of this undertaking
is assured and 1t has opened many
avenues of experimentation in photo

The Tonnage Puzzle.

ITO many who are not experienced
with the ways Of ships and ship
men the various uses Of the term ton.
mage In relation to the size OF ship
are very confusing. There are four
kinds of tonnage in use in shipping
circles and they all mean something.
contrary to the landlubber's impress.
sion, but they all mean something dit'
ferent.
Deadweight tonnage Is what the
vessel actually can carry in tons yof
heavy cargo, plus stores and bunker
coal. Gross tonnage is based on the
cubic contents of the hull, with GER
tain arbitrary spaces deducted; ac-
cordingly 1t has little bearing on the
argocarrying capacity. Net regis.
tered tonnage is gross tonnage with
further deductions on account OF
crew space and machinery space, and
again has little bearing upon the dead
weight figures.
Finally the displacement Is the total
weight of the vessel when full OK
cargo. and accordingly represents the
weight of her hull plus her dead.
weight tonnage. These two items can
at least be made to appear reasonable
to the most lopelessly non.technical
mind by thinking Of the hull-the
shin ftself-as live tonnage: displace.
ment is then live tonnage plus the
dead tonnage which can be piled onto
q vessel.
In round numbers, ship Of 5000
tons deadweight would have gross
tonnage Of 5000 and net registered
tonnage of 1900; she would displace
II. 900 tons of water when fully load.
ed, so that figure represents her dis.
placement.
