DOLLAR DIA- Atl&nta Constltutlc n. .Near Norcross there resides an old German geologist who lores to li ve among the peculiar specimens of mineral and vegetable matter which he has unearthed and housed in his domicile, where he resides with his family. Of the geologist himself hut little is known. Pie is an elderly gentleman of little sociability, but of great mental acquirements. His physical endurance is simply aston ishing. For days at a time he wan ders over the bills and through the dales near his home, collecting rocks THE WHEA T HA RVEST. and stones, limbs and roots, the Telephone upon its: properties and qualities of which are unknown to all hut himself.

He says, however, that he intends to ‘"appeal to the brotherhood of Georgia.” We don’t know if the “brotherhood” will reinstate him, but we do kn^w of a case wherein any hon est, jury of cither saints or sinners would now seems well worth his fondness. The stone in question was found by its owner one rainy afternoon. For nearly a week he had been on a tramp through the hills and dales near i home, aud weary with his ceasele-a j toil, and disheartened by his ill luck, ! in adding to his store of natural curi osities he was wending his way home convict him of swindling a little boy out J when his eyes fell upon something from which the rays of the sun were being scattered in a thousand directions.

The men bearing cradles and the clattering army of reapers have now reached Michigan, Wisconsin and southern Minnesota. In a month more the great work of bread gather ing will be ended in Manitoba—the work that was begun in Georgia and other Gulf States in May. And all through* the vast wheat belt the crop has turned out handsomely. In Or egon, too, the yield is abundant, and if there is any exception to the sweeping blessing it must be looked for in California, where dry weather has been rather prevalent for local good. The on p is now so nearly gathered that the statioi ms have resumed business at the old stand. The first da) of July was the fir>t day <>f the new crop year. The men of figures put the supply on that day, visible and invisible, ai 40,000.000 bushels. As spring wheat has become very promising, they claim that the year’s crop will certainly bo 480,000,000 bushels ; it may exceed this amouut 50.000. 000 bushels; and it cannot well be less. The estimated supply i9 therefore 520,000,000 bushels. Fifty-three millions of people will consume 4£ bushels each, or 283,~ 000,000 bushels. To this amount add 59,(XX),000 bushels on account of seed, etc., and we have the home con sumption fixed at 300,000,O' X) bush els. The surplus is thus 220,000,000 bushels. From this deduct 50,000,- 000 bushels on account of visible supply on July 1,1883, and there will be left 170,000,(XX) bushels to he ex ported to countries that do not make their own bread. This is a very handsome surplus. Our heaviest exports of wheat were 178.000,000! bushels in 1879-80, and 186,000,0001 bushels in 1880-81. Last year we! sent across the water 120,000,000 1 bushels. The United Kingdom re quires 192,000,000 bushels, and the English crop, which is not promis ing, i« now put at 72.000,000 bush- ins els. The shortage will therefore be 120.000. 000 bushels. As the Russian crop will not be an average one, the United States may be able to find a market for oncshalf of its surplus in English ports. Our surplus bids fair, however, to exceed 200,000,000 bushels, and if it doe-, cheap bread U in sight for a twelve months, and no small amount of resultant pros perity and general contentment.
