• 1 DIET AND CIVILIZATION.
Sfottd FurnUhca an Index to Manklnd'i
». Evolution,
1 The evolution of mankind may per
haps be determined as certainly by
the criterion of food as by ifuy other.
The savage eats the same ooarse and
monotonous fare for centuries, while
civilized man is perpetually discover
ing and adopting now animal or vege
table products - . At evory fruit shop
■ one is reminded to-day of the faot
that bananas and tomatoes aro new
foods which wo have very wisely
udopted, and whioh have become os
familiar and necessary to 11s as poas
or plums, which wo hnve had for con-
curies. As with fruits, so with tho
‘artioles we see in a'large grocery
store. Half of those wera almost un
known even a generation ago. The
dinner of to-day is as different from
that of tho time, say, of Dr. Johnson,
as that was from the cuisiuo of tho
Conquest. If lifowns rude and violent
in early oommunities, the kind of food
eaten and the way of eating it made it
even more so. How could one gorge
on oxen roasted whole, earving it up
with rude weapons, or even, like
Fnlstaff, on fat capons nnd an intoler
able deal of sack, without being boavy,
■ earthy, and probably, from our point
of view, noisy nnd ill-bred? Tho fino
manners of tho Elizabethan court aro
problematical; they oertainly would
not pass muster now. In short, food
is both an index of the civilization at
tained and a faotor in tho attainment.
A singular instance of both is afforded
by tho rapid growth of manners • in
Russia. Loss thau two centuries ago
Peter tho Great gnawed meat like a
wild beast and drank brandy like a
snvage; to-day the elegant method
of dining a la Russo has spread over
the civilized world.
A llorn Joker.
Senator William E. Mason always
lias been a joker. Even when a school-
boy ho never lot a chnuoe pass with
out having his fun at the expense of
some one else. When ho was a pub-
lio soliool pupil tho boys know ns
much about "cribbing” as they do
now, and it was nothing now for them
to oonccal needed information on their
cuffs or insido their wntohos. One
day when Willie Mason was taking an
examination, the keen-eyed teacher
obsorved him take out his watch every
few minutes. The podagogne grew
snspicious. Finally ho strode slowly
down tho aisle and stopped at Willie’s
desk.
“Let me see your watch,” ho com
manded.
“All right, sir,"wastho meek reply.
The teacher opened the front lid. He
looked somewhat sheepish when he
read the single word, “Fooled.”
, But he was a shrewd man nnd was
not to be thrown off the track so easily.
He opened the back lid. There he
reod: “Fooled again.”—Detroit Free
Press.
U Centenary or Ga.lighting.
’ Electricity has now so largely sup
planted the older methods of illumin
ation that peoplo have almost forgot
ten thnt this year is tho centenary of
gas lighting, coal gas having been
first applied to economic uses by
William Murdoch in 1798, although it
was not introduced into London until
1807. In 1825, when meter reckoning
came into general use, the rate chnvged
was $3.75 per 1000 cubic feet, subject
to a discount of live per cent, for
prompt payment. At a lator date $3
was charged, and in 1834, threo years
beforo Qneeu Victoria ascended the
throne, a further reduotion was made,
the price becoming $2.50 per 1000
cubic fest.—Loudon Telegraph.
The Cannon Still Kina, »
The tool that has done the most
brilliant ana splendid offensive work
in tbe naval part of the war has been
the old cannon.
The ram hasn’t been used.
Torpodoes haven't blown up any
thing, although two of them dis
charged by the Spaniard’s have been
found stranded on a Cuban beach.
The torpedo boat has accomplished
almost nothing beyond carrying dis
patches, five Spanish boats and one
American having been completely dis
abled to date.
Tho submarine mine has hurt no one
sinco tho Maiue was dostroyeil, the
two that oxploded in Manila hay rnoro-
ly stirring up the mud.
The pneumatic guns of tho Vesuvius
have made a great noise and fright
ened the enemy, but whether tho pro
jectiles hnve done muoh material dam-
uge or not, or can be made to in the
future, ia still problematical.
Bat wheh it eomes to tho eight or
ten or twelvo-inoh riflod guns, with a
nervy, sober, mechanical Yankee
sqninting through the sights, thnt
means business. Brioks and mortar
are going to crumble and war ships'
boilers are going to bo aearobed out
and blown np.
The old cannon, reinforced in tho
breeoh, with twisting ribs cut through
the bore, loaded with chunks of brown
stuff - and holding a large, pointod steel
prescription for Spanish big head in
its throat—that old cannon iB still
king.—Chicago Journal:
Allnlt.
A farmer has discovered a product
to which the name of “aliuit” is given.
It is “a germ of the soil which causes
the nitrogen in the nir to enter into
chemical combinations especially
adapted to tbe nourishment of cereals. ”
A series of experiments have been
conducted with this product, result
ing in from ton to thirty per cent
more yield than has been possible un
der ordinary treatment. "Aliuit” is,
in fact, supposed to bo the bacteria of
putrefaotion. When decomposing mut
ter iB placed in contaot with the roots
c f growing plants, tiny rootlets are
thrown out. These are provided with
small months or suckers, which in
dustriously set to work to absorb the
valuable material. Whoever has un
earthed partly decayed wood or boue
has been interested in observing tho
enormous number of little rootlets
that have attached thomsolves to these
bits of decaying material. The office
of “aliuit” is to furnish what one
might call partly digested food for
plants. Surely if the rootlets can
draw upon substances rich in the ele
ments thoy demand they will increase
more rapidly in growth and value than
when raised by ordiuary prooesses.—
New York Ledger.
What Lightning Conductor* Are For.
The objeot of a lightning conduotor
is two-fold. First and most impor
tant, to draw away the eleetrioity from
passing clouds and thus prevent tho
occurrence of lightning in the neigh
borhood, and secondly, when uable to
do this, to receive and convey to tho
earth the lightning without damage to
the building to which it is attached.
The first object is best secured by the
lightning conductor being a sharp-
pointed copper rod, standing dear
above all surrounding buildings,
trees, eto., while the second necessi
tates its having considerable diameter
to carry the short lived, but intense
current; and both require that it shall
be in thorough metallic! connection
with the earth. A faulty earth con
nection makes a lightning conductor
worse than useless.
POPULAR SCIENCE.
A ton of good coal is said to yield
about 8000 feot of purified gas..
Satnrn, Uranus and Neptnne, can
imprison gases morfi firmly than tho
earth.
Liquid hydrogen, now prodncable
in any quantity, is found by Dewar to
have a boiling point of about 240 de
grees below zero, centigrade, and the
unexpected density of about six-tenths
that of water.
Tho idea that pepsin aids digestion
is pronounced by Dr. Kellogg a delu
sion, Indigestion is attended by a
lack of gastric juice and not of pepsin,
and the cdhtiuned use of tho lutter
tends to nutit the stomach for making
it.
On tho new Bussian military rail
way from Europo to Andijan on the
borders of the Chinoao empire n tree
like shrub called tho sascaoul has had
to be planted all along the line through
tho desert to prevent the rails*boing
covered by sand. For further protec
tion a ribbon of wild oats run along
both sides of the railway.
Somo cast-iron cannon-balls wore
reocntly recovered from the sea near
Brest, France. They had been under
water for over a hundred years. They
oonld he ent with a knife, a great part
of the iron hnving disappeared. Ex
posed to the air, the interior became
quiet hot, of course losing the heat in
a short time, after the oxygeu of the
air hod ceased to aot upon it.
Six Varieties of Aabetios.
There is probably no product of in
organic nature about which there is so
much poptilnr mystery aud misconcep
tion as asbestos. It is vaguely under
stood that the principal claim of this
romarkablo product is that it cannot
bo eonsumod by lire. There are, how
ever, no less than six varieties of as
bestos, each of which possesses quali
ties peculiar to itself. They may be
classified as follows; Amanthus, in
which the fibres aro so exceedingly
long, flexible and elastic that they may
bo woven into cloth. Common asbes
tos, with the fibres much less flexible;
it is hoavier than tbe first variety, n
dull green in color, sometimes pearly
in lustro iyid oily to thetonch. Moun
tain cork, light enough to tk>at on
water. Mountain leather, also very
light, but thinner and more flexible
than tho last. Mountain paper or
bine asbestos. Mountain wood, which
in external appearance resembles dry
wood. As a matter of fact, nearly all
varieties have more or less the ap
pearance of fossilized wood. Asbestos
has been found in nearly all parts of
the globe. - -Now York Ledger.
Napoleon Uonaparto'e Cradle.
An interesting relie is tho cradle in
which the Emperor Napoleon Bona
parte slumbered in his infancy. It is
put to a pleasing use by its present
ownor, Mrs. Van Bensselaer Cruger.
Standing in a corner of her drawing
room, it is heaped fall of fiowers at
most times of the year. Mr. Cruger
pioked up the cradle in Paris at an
auction. It is of dark wood and with
out any particular ornamentation.
America possesses another relio of
Napoleon Bonaparte—the sleigh in
which ho escaped from Russia in
1812. It bolougs to a Chicago wom
an, and has been id her husband’s
family for fifty years or more. A
parchment—certificated, dated April
7, 181G, aud signed by a Bonaparte of
Silesia—testifies that this is the sleigh
in which the Emperor of the French
made his escape from Russia. Tho
harness is a wonderful piece of work
manship.—New Y'ork Ledger.
Learned to Measure Heat.
You sill know what the Fahrenheit
thermometer is, no doubt, and pretty
soon you will be looking at the one
that hangs outside the front door to
find out how cold the weather is and
if there is danger of frosting yonr nose
if yon go skating. Prior to the seven
teenth century people had to trust to
their feelings entirely to ascertain the
temperature of the weather, or of any
thing else, for that matter. But in
1720 Gnbriol Daniel Fahrenheit in
vented the mercury thermometer, the
one that is iu common use to-day.
Other experimenters hnd indifferently
succeeded in making instruments that
would gauge differences in tompora-
ture. Thesehad been tubes filled with
oil, spirits of wine or other substanoes
and wore uncertain. Fahrenheit was
native of tho German town of Danzig,
where he made a failure as a mer
chant. He then turned his attention
to mechanics aud finally invented the
thermometer that bears his name and
whioh soon became popular through
out the civilized world. He removed
to Amsterdam, Holland, then a great
shipping center. Tne inventor was
such a quiet, unnssnming man that lit
tle is known about him, the date of his
deoth oven being a disputed question.
It is generally believed, however, that
he died September 1G, 173G.—Chicago
Record.
Tli® Odor of Flowers.
Certain curious facts regarding tho
odor of flowers have also been lenrned
by these perfume-makers. There seems
to \)o in the flower world a aeries of
flowers which by combining tbeir per
fumes will make about every known
odor in tho world. This knowledge
has been utilized by tbe flower-grow
ers of Vnr, nnd many experiments,
covering a period of many centuries,
have proved that the seven plants
whose flowers contain, or will produce
by combination, the perfume of all the
others are the lose, violet, orange,
acacia, jonquil, tuberose aud jasmine,
so these nro the ones they grow and
depen’d upon mixing for the other
odors of commerce. For instance,
violet and tuberose mnko tho perfumo
of tho lily of the valley, the jasmine
and tuberose when mixed have a per
fume like the hyacinth, tho jasmine
and the orange resemble the sweet pea
when combined. About all tbe vari
ous bouquets nnd odd odors of the
stores are made iu this way, many of
them ^being very old indeed; frangi-
panui, one of the most popular per
fumes on account of its lasting so long,
being an invention of an old Roman
alchemist during the second century,
and named for its discoverer.—New
York Tribune.
Cat'ISattle* With Snake.
A full-blooded Maltese cat owned by
Edward l’Hommedieu and a black-
snnke measuring four feet in length
hadn pitohed battle on Union avenue,
Babylon, L. I., tho other day. The
snake was killed by the cat after a fight
lasting fifteen minutes. The cat at
first circled aronnd the snake, which
coiled itself up, sticking its small red
tongue out and hissing viciously. The
cat liually sprang on the snake, and
seizing it by the back brought it to
the middle of the road. The snake
coiled its body around the cat’s neck.
The cat, however, gave the snake a
vicious bite and then trotted off with
it to the side of the road where she
despatched it with a few well-directed
bites. The snake was the largest seen
in this placo in many years.—New
York Sun.
There aro said to be about one mil
lion temples in China containing from
five to ten million idol gods.

south, so long in the hands of the
sturdy Tennesseeans went to the red

ven of her strong nnd determined
sons after fifty minutes of hard and
fast pltfying. The hig Vanderbilt team,
outweighing the Georgians in every
position on tho field, seemed during
the first half to be dazzled at the fast
work of their opponents and failed
to renlize the danger of their position
nntil the second half, wheu it was too
late to recover. The score was 4 to 0.

Much to the surprise of the public
Hon. Jacob L. Beach resigned the
position of prison commissioner and
his successor was appointed a short
time afterwards. There were n number
of candidates on short notice, but the
appointment was quietly made. The
position was first tendored to Judge
C. C. Smith, of the Oconee circuit, who
declined it. Solicitor General Torn
Eason was then appointed. The ap
pointment created another vacancy
which was filled by the appointment
of Colonel John F. DeLncey to the
position of solicitor general of tho
Oconee circuit. Mr. Eason is well
known to politicians all over the state
and has for some time held the posi
tion of solicitor general of the Oconee
circuit. (

Little of interest transpired- in the
legislature Saturday, both branches
■adjourning early to witness the inau
gural ceremonies. The sessions,
neither of which lasted more than an
hour, were dull nnd void of public in
terest. There wns much in the inau
gural ceremony to make it memorable,
but the chief event was the mesenge
itself. It was Bhort nnd sincere, like
its author, and there wns no waste of
words nnd 710 effort at Belf-gloriflcation
iu it. “With tt profound sense of the
responsibilities I am about to assume,”
snid Colonel Candler, “and invoking
your kindly co-operntion and support
in an honest, earnest effort to perform
them with an eye single to the glory
of Georgia and tbe best interests of oil
her people; and with a fervent prayer
to the God of nntions nnd of states
thnt I may be endowed with wisdom
to govern in justice nnd moderation, -1 1
will now tnko the oath of office.” And
no man who heard him say the words
doubted for an instant the earnestness
and piety of the invocation.
The state railroad commission's de
cision in the Georgin Northern rail
road case clears up some points of
great interest to all tbe railroads in
the state. One point is that any ex
tension of an operating roud is under
the commission’s control just as much
as the original line, and that without
a formal order. Another point is thnt
if one railroad tears up its track con
nection with another railroad line, the
commission will treat the offending
road just as if the connection still ac
tually existed, and if traffic is inter-
ferred with by consequence of the
brenking ot connection, it will be at
the peril of the offending road. The
complaint against the Georgin North
ern wns made by Mr. M. F. Amorous,
general Superintendent of the Sparks,
Moultrie nnd Gulf, who charged that
the Georgia had discriminated against
his line and hnd given rebates to se
cure business. It was admitted by
the Georgia .Northern that it had
promised rebntes but it denied thnt
any rebate had ever been given.
