Calvin of Rich mond has long been a friend of the public school*. He Is prominent’,y identified with the educational Inter est* of Georgia and was at one time school superintendent of Richmond county. And yet In the debate In the house of representatives at Atlanta ->lr. Calvin favored a reduction In the public schools appropr iation* because he m v that It was right and proper. Mr. Calvin states that the firs: direct approrr latton made by the legislature to the public echools of Oeorpla In 18SS was $165,000. Mr. McDonald of Ware at that session proposed an ap propriation of $500,000. The house, however, thought It wieo to make haste slowly. In 1800, tho appropri ation was $335,000, The legislature, In 1891, went a step farther and added SIOO,OOO a . '•nr, so that In 1891 and 1892 the figure* stood over $400,000. In 1892 the appropriation for the years 1893 and 1894 was fixed at $600,000. Next It was stipulated that if the state digest should prove to be In excess of $175,000,000, the tax levy on the excess should go to the schoo fund. In this way the state has gradually In creased its appropriations to the com mon school. Undoubtedly, n small Increase over $600,000 would have been wiser, in view of the d?tnand» upon the state treasury, than a $1,000,000 donation out nnd out. which was beyond our re sources. Mr. Calvin realises that It Is better to slowly Increase these ap propriations than to make a_ sudden Jump, as wrs made In 1895, when tbe appropriation Increased nil at once from $600,000 t.o over $1,000,000. This is the reason why a cut must be mode this year. No one is anxious to take away from the public echoo funds. This ought lo be sacred to the ctV dm of the state. But In times of supreme finan cial exigency all amounts have to be lessened. Mr. Calvin recognizes this point and has endeavored, to explain this trouble and pave tbe way to sen sible acquiescence in reduced figures. This is only justified upon tbe grounds of strict eiiconomy and stern necesai ty. I armers Fire Pistols, Rome.

C„ Dec. 15.-Regarding (he exenslon of the Atlantic Coast Line from Denmark to Robbins it is snfd that the road will be compelled to bullrl twenty-eight trestles, large or small, between Denmark and Robbins. Four or flve will be considerable struc tures, those over Satfcahatchie and the Lower Three Runs. Speaking of the latter stream. It is probable that on it, at Rocky Point, about two miles below Stinson’s Brilge, a kieater horse power can bo develop ed than at any other point In the eoun ty. One advantage there Ik that the old dam, about one hundred years old. strengthened by the roots of large troop growing on it, is still there, and nature has scattered around in the swamp, ap parently for the very purpose of build ing an Impregnable barrier against the force of the pent water, slllclous rocits of huge size for this portion of the state, some of them being of the size and shape of a cord of wood. One of them, "The Coffin Rock,’’ has assumed the likeness of a largo coffin, and the tradition has been handed down, that in the days when the mill was convert ing the huge trees of the adjacent pri meval forests Into such lumber as we never see now a man oonected with the mill was caught and badly cut in the min, so that he died from the Injuries received. Soon after the accident oc curred he was borne to this rock, which was then qf cubical and oblong form.

Studying Honkey Talk N. Y. Tlbm*. Springfield, Ohio, Dec. 11. Prof. R. L. Gamier, the savant who ha* made “monkey talk” a lifelong study, is in the city for a short stay, alter having filled a lecture engagement here. He said today: ”1 am preparing to go bark to Central Africa, for a fur ther study of monkey language. I will remain three years. I had expec ted to go last May, but the war bi cak ing out delayed me, as I would have been compel-ed to go through much Spanish territory and live und»r the government of the French, and the at titude of the French was at that time ari unknown quantity. Thl* will Ire my third trip. I left on my first voyage in 1892, and returned In 1894. On the last voyage I 'eft in July, 1895, and returned In June, 1890. On my re turn to Africa this time I shall devote my attention almost entirely to tho chimpanzee ami native pygmies. I found it necessary to make ray studies to go to Central Africa, where the two great apes, the gorilla and the chim panzee, could be found in the v wild state. "Knowing that the jungles in which they live were infested with wild beasts of diverse kinds, I provided my self with a cagft composed of twenty five panels of steei wire lat'ice. I had it carried in sections on the men’n heads into the jungle and there erected as a domicile and fortress. The plaes was on the south 9ide of Lake Far nanvaz, about one hundred miles south of the equator, on the west side of Africa, and about the same distance from Cape Lopez. I took Into my cage a supply of canned food, medicine, clothes, arms, ammunition, a kerosene stove, a hammock, folding chair, swinging table, and all the necessary small furniture need in camping. This was about the ’ of April. I stayed irt and around 113 days ami nights. I had Hi fUe jungles a pot china pail, ad eu ned Moses, and a gorilla, Otheiio Prof. G&rnior made phonographic records of several unspeuaole monkey words. As tthelf vocal organ’s are similar to man’s he thinks they can b< lmight to ns.' human words.
