THE SINGAPOR E-KRANJI RAILWAY.
CUTTING THE FIRST SOD.
SINGAPORE, April 16th. To-day must be counted an epoch in Singa pore's history, for this morning the first sod of the Singapore Kranji Railway was cut by the Acting Governor.
Despite the adverse weather, a fairly large concourse of people had assembled at an early hour, on the site in Tank Rond, at the back of Fort Canning, which was gaily decorated with bunting to witness the inaugural ceremony of an undertaking which when completed will, it is hoped, advance the prosperity of the colony, by facilitating inter-communication between Singapore and Johore, and eventually the Native States.

Yet surgical mechanist, has received a draft from this is the way in which Mr. James Gillingham, Mr. W. J. Indige, his agent in the until lately beleaguered town Kimberley, South Africa All other means of communication with the outside world were cut off, and Mr. Indge, by the courtesy of, the De Beers Company and the military authorities, was at length able to remit 20 pounds sterling to Mr., Gilingham by flashing the payment through the skies, over the heads of the Boers, by search Hight. A letter riving in England from Mr. Indge before the money was received, gave rise to some anxiety as to what had become of the zo. Had the money gone straight to the Man in the Moon, or been waylaid in its aerial fight by some moneygrabbing spirit? Or had the sovereigns fallen from the skies straight into the lap of some poor deserving creature lamenting the reverses of fortune? These and other conjectures were hazarded at Mr. Gilling. ham's expense, until one fine morning this shape of a cheque from the Standard Bank of week the money arrived safely enough in the South Africa! It's evidently not so risky as it looks to send money through the air.

THE NAMING CEREMONY.
SINGAPORE, April 20th. H.M.S. Zimnet, with Admiral Keppel on board got under weigh. punrtually at 3.30 yesterday afternoon, followed by HMS. Rat- fier, bath vessels flew large white ensigns at all the mast-heads. The Colonial steamer Sea Belle followed, flying the Colonial flag. After them came a long line of small steamers, tugs, and launches, being joined by others on the way as they approached the wharves. The Tanjong Pagar steain tugs Mercury and Sunda, the P&O. steam launch with some happy. Before us, at the moment of writing lies a faced children on board, the Glen Rosie and photograph including, 1st, the following fac others, nearly twenty in all; which with theilmile extract from a letter from Mr. Indge three leading steamers made quite a long pro cession. They steamed through New Harbour and out through the Western Entmnce turning round beyond the Harbour Limit, in a large circle, the whole line returned through the Heads into what has hitherto been known is New Harbour, at the very spot through which the old Admiral, was the first, over 50 years ago, to find the passager As the men-of-war passed through the Heada, anch them manned yards and a cheer, or rather three cheers, were given for the Admiral and Keppel Harbour. The large extra French mail steamer was passing out to the westward at the time, and many of the passengers must have wondered what all the excitement and the long tail of boats of all sorts and sizes meant. Near the centre of the passage, at the eastern end of the Leander Shoal there is an iron buoy, and from each of the steamers bottles of cham- pagne were thrown at it, which the Governor had provided. The men-of-war made good target practise, but the civilians on board the Sea Belle, only scored five hits with eight bottles. The vessels steamed into the Roads to their former places, the Lin- wel on the way manning yards and cheering the Rattlers on their leaving, "homeward bound." Admiral Keppel then was brought to, the Sea Belle from the Linnet and sat at the lead ofa long table which had been specially provided on the deck of the Sea Belle. A number of Naval Officers were present, among them Cap. tain Reynolds of the Pique, which had arrived from England in the morning, Captain Smythe and Lieutenant Sharp of the Linnet, and Cap. tain the Hon. George Hardinge of the Rattler, who came on board for a few minutes and then left to go to sea on his way to England, as it was getting dusk, and he had to pass round St. John's before dark."
The Governor's guests on board the Sea Belle, who were all introduced to the Admiml, in cluded:
Lt. Colonel Chippendall, B.E., O.C.T., Lt Colonel Parker, 16th M.N.1., Major Lewes, R.A Capt. Farmer, R.A., Capt. Tyacke and L- Cruikshank, R.A., Captain C.Q.G. Crawford, Master Attendant; Hon'ble W. Egerton, Col. Pennefather, Messrs. Haffter, Knight; Laird, Merewether, Sellar, T. Scott, Waddell, Wit thoeft; the members of the Chinese Advisory Board, the Hon. Lim Boon Keng, Seah Leang, Seal, Chan Chin Fook, Lee Cheng, Yan, Choa Chee Yong, Ung Kwai Peo, Lim Ah Sam, Han Quee Fong and others,
His Excellency the Acting Governor in a short speech proposed the health of the Admiral. He said that their bonored guest was the oldest inhabitant of Singapore, there, was no one, present who had anything like the knowledeo which Admiral Keppel, possessed about the older days of this place. It had given the greatest pleasure to them all that he had been able to come, aming this much later generation in full possession of all his faculties, and determined to see exactly for himself how the place which he had known in its very early days, near the commencement of the century had turned out at the end of it, and the Gaver nor hoped that he had found it even more than he had expected, and that he would always remember with very pleasant thoughts his visit to the old spots. It was an hour to Singa pore to see such a chip of an old block, an admiral of the fleet, holding the first position the English Navy, and he was extremely happy that the Admiral's visit had happened in his (the Governor's) ilme; and he was extre: mely glad that it had fallen to the lot of himself and his guests to perpetuate his name in con- nection with the finest harbour of Singapore, of which he had been the discoverer. Ho was a splendid example of one who lived doing his duty during a long term of years and yet shewed such a splendid specimen of a seaman and a man. He asked all to drink to the Admiral's health, and to his happy return to his home,
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and then the old Admiral of the Fleet stood up, leaning on the table, and in the soft and most pleasant voice that has been often heard for

A Paper on "The Diffraction Process of Colour Photography" was read by Professor R. W. Wood, of Philadelphia, to the Society of Arte on January 14th, in London. The tri- chromic process of colour photography, said Professor Wood, had already been worked out to a successful issue along a number of radi- cally different lines. The diffraction process, though it had not yet yielded results compar- able with those obtained by some of the other methods, possessed many advantages, and was, so far as he knew, the only method which did away with pigments or coloured screens and which admitted of duplication by contact print- ing. The scheine by which the colours were produced was exceedingly simple. The funda mental idea was the production of a coloured picture through the instrumentality, of diffrac tion gratings. The pictures were quito colour less in ordinary lights, consisting of nothing more than, fine parallel equidistant lines on a transparent film, the spacing between the lines in the different parts of the picture depending on the colour to be produced. If they placed a lamp in front of a less and mounted a small screen in the focus, they would have an image, of a lamp fame on the screen,
Then, small aperture. were made at the exact spot where the flame image was, and they looked through this from behind, their eye would be in the focus, and they would see the whole lens filt up with a uniform light of dazzling bril- liangy. Suppose they then placed a diffraction grating before the lens. The grating was no thing more than a plate of glass with a thousand lines to the inch ruled on it with diamond point yet it exercised a most remarkable action on the light, somewhat analogous to that of a priem. The different coloured rays of which the white light was made up were bent to the right and left by different amounts, the red being bent the most, the blue the least, and there were seen on the screen, on each side of the lamp flame, spectra og, rainbow-coloured bands, the blue ends being nearest the flame image and the red the further removed; the pther colours occupy- ing intermediate positions. Suppose now that that they moved the screen until the small Hollerton, G, C. aperture lay in the blue portion of one of these Holden, Miss S. spectra. The aperture received blue light from Hanbury, N, the whole surface of the grating, and if Howard, Miss M. they looked through it they would see the Haw, M. S. grating shining with a uniform blue light. That Helow, Miss was the fundamental principle. It was pos- Horanjia sible to see a field uniformly illuminated in a Hermanus single colour by means of a grating. If in Harrington, S. E some places the lines were not as distinct, that Holden, S. B. was, not to deeply scratched, these places Howard would appear less brilliantly illuminated, while, Hills, Captain F. if the grating lines were absent on any part of Halwitz, Mrs. J. the plate that part, sending no light to the eye, Hitagskan would appear black.
