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. GEORGIA STATE NEWS. Professor John M. McCandless, of Atlanta, has accepted the position of state chemist which was offered to him by Colonel O. B. Stevens, commis sioner of agriculture. ... Now that the judges and solicitors have been elected, the subject most interesting to members of tho legisla ture is the chairmanships of commit tees in the house and senate. On these reputations aud future careers are based and they nre valuable plunis within the gift of the presiding offi- W. M. Scott, the Rtnte entomologist, lias published a paper giving in detail the way in which to control the Snn Jose scale, the insect that is infesting many fruit farms in the state. Tho ravages of the insect have grown larger every year and the entomologist has made a special study of the San Jose scale and the condition in which it lives in order to tell the fruit grow ers of Gcorgiu how to get rid of it. The news thnt the Second regiment Georgia volunteers will, with the Third Georgia regiment, be retained in tho service of their country, will inspire nnew with patriotism the young wo men of Atlanta who were the first to organize permanently in the interest of the Georgia soldiers under the name of the Atlanta Relief Association. Dur ing tho hot summer months theso young women hnve worke’d with un ceasing devotion to the cause for which they organized, nnd no appeal ! made to thorn has gono unheard. j The second annual meeting of tho Georgia ^library Issociatiou adjourned at Atlanta after holding n decidedly successful session after' electing offi cers for the ensuing year. Following nre the officers of tho association; President, Miss Annie Wnllnoe, of At lanta; vice presidents, MrB. Moses Wndley, of Augusta; Mrs. John King Ottley, of Atlanta; Dr. J. H. T. Mo- Pherson, of Athens; Mr. William Har den, of Savnunah; Mrs. Enoch Calla way, of LaGrange; Professor J. R. Mospley, of Macon, nnd Hon. G. Guu- by Jordan, of Columbus; secretary and treasurer, Major Charles W. Hub- ner, of Atlanta. The football giants from Georgia and Vanderbilt came together at Pied mont park, Atlanta, Saturday after noon, uad the chatnpio ship of the south, so long in the hands of the sturdy Tennesseeans went to the red and black of Georgia, upheld by ele 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.
