THE HAKP OF THE SENSES.
Prof. De Motte's Lecture at the Guards’
Hall To-morrow Nitrht.
Under this suggestive title, "A Harp
• v" Prof. John B De Motto
will give the second lecture of the al
ready popular course of Lyceum enter
tainments, to-morrow at the Guar.is*
Hall. As Mr. Powers is easily the prince
if impersonators, so Prof. Do Motte, with
out being a gifted orator, introduces an
other lieid of marvellous interest and
winder—“ The Harp of the Senses.” This
delicate, flve-stringed instrument of sen
sation, with which people are clothed, in
their relation t4> the outer world, is ex
hibited by scientific apparatus and beauti
ful illustrated views, in all the latest re
sults of bcieniitic investigation. Sound,
sight, touch, taste, hearing—what are
they? How are they produced? How do
they affect the nerve centers and the brum
cells? What relation do they bear to the
secret of character building? AH these,
no doubt, seem to be dry and technical
questions, but n-j one eoul 1 be more mis
taken than to imagine th- bright, bril
liant, humorous lecture of Mr. De Motte
to be the dull exposition of a learned
pedagogue. His subject interests, the
hearer at once; his scientific apparatus
makes clear the marvel: his pictures il
luminate the theme; his humor Hashes
out and plays over the whole held; his
warnings as to the. power of habit come
home with the force of conviction. He in
terests while he instructs, he amuses while
he sows the seed of fertile thought.
One is in doubt, as Robbie Burns says,
whether the lecture will "turn out a ser
mon or a song.” At one moment, while
the pictures are flashing the lates* re
sults of modern science upon the sheet,
one is exalted in imagination; at another,
while depleting the inevitable result of
habit on the nerve centers, one is strength
ened in moral conviction.. To young
m*n especially, it is a powerful appeal in
the line of that stirring sentence of Boyd
Carpenter: ”Bow an act and you reap a
habit: sow a habit and you reap a char
acter; sow a character and you reap a des
tiny.”
The directors of the Lyceum who have
succeeded in securing this charming
course of artistic and literary entertain
ments for our city hope to sec every seat
tilled at Mr. De Motte's lecture to-morrow
night at B:3u p. m.

SCOURING OUT THE CHANNEL
Ihe Suction Dredge Gedney Removing
About 3,000 Cubic Yards Daily.
It is Engaged in Deepening and Widen
ing the New Channel on Tybee Knoll.
A Brief History and Description of the
Largest Dredge on the Coast and How
It is Operated Chartered for Three
Months From the Govtrament bv the
P. Sanford Ross Dredging Company
Especially for the Work on tho Knoll
The arrival of th* large suetlon dredge
“Gedney," and its work on the river
channel at Tybv, Knoll, mark? anew
period in the progress of the harbor work
on the. Savannah river.
The Gedney is practically a large steam
vessel and dredg, combined, sailing under
her own steam, and has been chartered
by the P. Sanford Ross Dredging Com
pany from the United States government
for a period of three months, for use In
deepening the channel on Tybee Knoll.
She arrived at Tybee on New Year’s day,
having made the trip from New Y'ork city
in eighty-four hour:-', with head winds
almost all the way, and part of the time
she was compelled to lay to on account
of the severity ot the gale.
Through the courtesy of Capt. o. M.
Carter, a representative of the Morning
News went down the river and aboard
the Gedney yesterday, with a view of
getting a description of the dredge, which
is perhaps the large.it and most powerful
noxx - in operation anywhere along the
coast. Some Idea of its method of working
will also be of interest.
This dredge, which, with the exception
of its dredging apparatus, is not unlike
other seagoing steamers, was built at
Wilmington, Del., In 1887, and was ready
for work the following year. The first
name given it wa? the "Reliance," which
was afterward changed to “Gedney,"
when It was purchased by the gox-ern
ment in 1891. it was built for the Joseph
Edwards Dredging Company, which had
a contract xvith the government for
dredging tiw.UOO cubic yards of material
from the Gedney’s channel division, in
New Y'ork harbor, and operations on this
contract began on April 4, 1890.
This company also contracted to re
move 530,000 cubic yards from the main
ship channel which completed the work
on the New Yol'K harbor. This dredge,
however, was used mainly in the work
on Gedney’s channel, which is at the
entrance to New York harbor, and is
used by all the large ocean liners. Thin
channel is I,2'*) feet In width, and has
a minimum low water depth of 31 feet.
When the government purchased the
dredge the name was changed to Ged
ney in honor of an old officer In the en
gineering corps, as she had been at work
on the channel which bore the same
name. Since the completion of the New
York harbor work she has been used for
mniatenance, but is little needed, as the
harbor radically scours itself out and
maintains Its depth.
The Gedney has the appearance of
being an ordinary seagoing vessel, and
w'ouid be generally mistaken for such
were it not for th* fad that she carries
on each side a large suction pipe used
In the dredging work. Her length Is 157
feet, her beam 37 fed. and tho depth of
her hold 16 feet. She has a carrying ca
pacity of 650 to 700 cubic yards of mud
silt, or whatever substance is brought
up through the suction pipes, and her
tonnage is 758 gross and 458 net tons.
She has twin propellers with two com
pound condensing engines, and two large
centrifugal suction pumps with a capac
ity each of 10,000 gallons per minute.
Her draught forward when loaded is IS
feet, tn euch side there is a largo suc
tion pipe, the length now used Icing 58
feet. This pipe goes down at an angle, and
is so arranged that It scrapes
the material from the bottom, and tt
Is then brought up by the force of the suc
tion from centrifugal pumps each of which
makes 240 revolutions per mlnyte, and
is deposited in six large bins all of which
are located forward, three on the star
board and three on the port side. These
bins are bulkheaded one from the other,
and the material gets from one to an
other by overflowing. The water, a large
quantity of which is brought up through
the suction pipes, drains out through
openings for tho purpose <m tho sides
of the hull.
When In operation the dredge moves
along slowly in tie ehnnnel, and the ma
terial Is scraped and slukcd up Into the
hold. The Gedney gets a full loud liy
going twice the length of the new chan
nel on Tybee Knoll, and with her 70ft cubic
yards amoard goes out to sea where the
material is dumped from the bins through
the bottom. The number of trips made
each day depends on tho nature of the
material dredged, and the distance which
It must he carried to he dumped. It Is
considered that with her work on Tybee
Knoll she should make about four trips
a day, which means the removal of about
U.SOO to 3,One yards of material from the
channel during that time. This is about
twice the amount of work done liy the
ordinary clam or scoop dredge, Wx of
which are now at work at different points
r.n the river channel between the city
and the sea.
The Gedney I? In charge of Capt. .1. C*.
Norton and Government Recorder D. F.
Haasis, who superintends Its operations
and directs where the work Is to he done.
She carries twenty-two men ail told
and cost originally *140.000. The dredge
has one of the finest steam stearing
gears made, It having been purchased by
the government from the world's fair
where It was on exhibition and took
the medal. As her draught Is 38 feet she
sometimes comes In contact with the
bottom of the new channel on the knoll,
as there are places In this channel which
have a minimum low water depth of lti
feet, and the channel is at present a
narrow one. Arrangements have been
made, however, by which an officer thor
oughly familiar with the channel will
be on board of her. and when the crew is
entirely accustomed to the new conditions
under which it is working, the full ca
pacity of the dredge will he reached
liere as easily as was the case in New
Y'ork harbor. Tills no doubt will be
brought about within a short time, and It
will not be many weeks before the new
or straight sea going channel on the
knoll is glx - en a perceptffile Increase of
depth.
With the exception of a few places on
the knoll which have a minimum low wa
ter depth of lti feet, the channel now has
a minimum low water depth of 17 feet,
all between the city and the sea. Even this
depth, however, Is to be found only in a
few places and the other dredges are now
busy cutting them out, so that within a
short time the minimum low xxater depth
will be 18 feet, and in most places as It is
now, 20 feet, and more. The chartering of
the G dnef for work on the knoll was a
good move on the part of the dredging
company, and it will no doubt have a
tendency to hasten the harbor work very
much.

GREWSOJIE HUMAN MASK.
A Peruvian Warrior’s Face a Trophy of
War and an Article of Merchandise.
New Y'ork Letter In Chicago Times.
A complete mask of human flesh, with
flowing hair attached, which has been a
trophy of suxugn warfare mid been re
ceived In payment of a commercial debt,
has been recently brought to New York,
and is now owned here.
It Is more than likely the only veritable
death mask of the sort in the country,
and one of loss than half a dozen in
any place in the world, outsldo of tho
wild country of their origin.
This mask of dried human fle?h. which
Includes the entire head covering, orna
mented with the hair of life, Is made
from n complete head from which the
bones have all been removed. It Ih now
owned by and In the possession of Hydncy
J. Manly of 243 Fifth avenue, who bought
It in Paris from Napoleon Burch, a mer
chant there, w ho took it in payment of a
motley claim due him from a bankrupt
debtor In Peru. In it is preserved Hi
countenance of Its original owner, which
Is drawn and shriveled Into a miniature
of Its former sdf, in consequence of the
preserving and drying process that It has
bei n through. The long, straight, smooth
and glossy hair, so well represented among
the aboriginal Peruvians, Is preserved in
all of Its abundance and luster.
Three years ago this death mask was
the living face and scalp and flowing hair
of lluaje, tlie chief of the Y'urtmacas, a
tribe of Indians that inhabits tho district
about the Yavarl river, in the extreme
northeast corner of Peru, between Ecua
dor and Brazil. The Yavarl river Is one
of the tributaries that form the head
waters of the Amazon, and it runs
through a wild country, Inhabited by
savage people who are, noted for their
gentleness In time of peace, their feroc
ity in time of war, and for their Inborn
hatred of their Spanish conquerors, which
hatred extends to all whites and makes It
dangerous for a stranger not of their
race to enter the country. Mr. Burch,
from whom the mask was gotten, says
that In the entire district which drains
into the Yavarl river there Is now only
one white man, and he is an American,
a graduate of Yale college, who Is ex
ploring tho country. Ills name he did
not learn.
Oct. 17, 1891, the chief Huaje, to whom
the preserved face belonged, was killed
In battle with one of the many hostile
tribes. His death was caused by a bul
let shot In the forehead. The mask
shows the wound made by the entering
leaiL To lose his life in battle meant to
lose his head, for these savage tribes
have a custom to take from the fallen
enemy not only the scalp, as the North
American Indians do, but the entire head.
This is carried home as a trophy and
prepared fer indeflnite preservation. The
skin 1* opened from the back, the brains
and bones taken out. and the entire cav
ity stuffed with preserving herbs, after
which the Incision Is sewn up and the
mask dried. After tills operation 'the :
skin naturally shrinks and tho features ■
are retained on a smaller scale, resemb
ling In appearance the face of a child.
The luxuriant hair, of which these In
dians are so proud, is retained In Its
natural splendor, and Is used by the vic
tor to carry Ills trophy and to hang It by
in Ills habitation.
Though these heads are more or less
plentiful !n the wild country xvhere they
arc preserved, they are difficult to obtain,
for the reason that their owners prize
them highly as tokens of tlielr prowess,
and, besides, the buying or having in
possession of those heads is strictly pro
hibited by the law In Peru, Ecuador,
and Brazil.

entitled "The Present State of Peru,”
