Millions Coming South.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Mar. 31.—•
The Tradesman says that the first quar
ter of 1889 shows a cootinuaccs of the
remarkable industrial development of
the southern states. Daring the quar
ter there have been a number of strong
corporations organized in the south,
resulting in the influx of millions of
northern capital. Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia seem to have received the
most attention at the hands of northern
capitalists, although much outside mon
ey was invested in Kentucky and Vir
ginia.
A compilation made by the Trades
man from actual returns received by it
shows that G91 industries were estab
lished in the south during the past
three months, against C25 new indus
tries established during the same period
* of last year.
The following is a resume, in detail,
of the chief new southern industries,
established during the fir*t quarter of
the present year, as compared with the
number established duriug the same
period of 1883:
Electric light works 38, against 15
last year.
Foundries and machines shops 45
against 21 la-t year.
Cotton and woolen mills 35 against
48 last year.
Blast furnaces 17 against 5 last year.
Ice factories 24 against 13 last year.
Mining and quarrying companies 01

Warmer than Usual—The Rain
fall for the Week.
Washington, March 31.—The
wea her has been warmer than usual
during the week ending March 30th,
throughout the northern states, Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkan
sas.. About the normal temperature
1 has*prevailed in the east, golf and stu h
Atlantic states. Tbs temperature for
the season, from January 1 to March
30, has been warmer than usual except
in the south Atlantic and southern
portions of the gulf btates, where the
daily tctuperiture has been about two
degrees lower than usuab Daring the
week tbo rainfall has been in excess in
the southwest, including the states of
Mississippi, Lsuisianr, Arkansas, and a
greater portion of Texas. About one
half of the usual amount of rainfall in
the east portiou of the cotton region,
and only light ^bowers occurred in all
other districts, excopt in Iowa and
Minnesota, where no rain is reported.
The season ol rainfall has been greater
than usual along tbe Atlantic coast
from New York to Florida, generally
along tbe gulf coast, and from Texas
northward to Dakota. Over 75 per
cent, of the normal rainfall has oc
curred in the middle Atlantic states
and over the greater portion of the
south Atlantic and gulf states and New
England. In the central porrion of the
cotton region, and over the greater por
tion of the winter wheat region east of
the Mississippi, the seasontble rainfall
been from 50 to 75 per cent, of
norma], except in eastern Indiana, west-
Ohio and extreme southern por
tions of Michigan, where tbe rainfall
has been lees than one-half of the usual
amount. The rains which occurred in
Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas,
proved crop conditions in those
states. In the gulf states the general
effect of the weather for the week was
favorable for the planting of corn, cane
and rice, which.is about completed, and
for cotton planting, which ia now in
progress. More rain b needed in Texas
and Alabama, wbile some injury result
ed from heavy rains in portions of
Mississippi. In the middle and south
Atlantic states the weather conditions
were encouraging, and farm work is
processing rapidly, except in Central
New York or near Lake Ontario, where
unfavorable weather conditions were
reported. In New England, the weath
er continues cold, with frost and snow,
but plowing b in progress in Connec i-
cut. Frosts, which occurred in central
vallejs during the week, have not af
fected the crop* injuriously. Reports
from the gulf states, Tennessee and
Arkansas, indicate that the fruit crop
is in good condition, and up to the
present date has not been injured by
frost.

Value of Cotton Seed.
Nina hundred thousand bales oi
cotton are produced in Georgia
For every bale of cotton there is
about one thousand pounds of seed;
so we have nine hundred million
pounds of seed;" divide by 2,000 to
reduce to tons, and we have 450,000
tons of cotton seed raised in this
state, take 50,000 tons for planting
purposes and we have 400,000 tons
left for sale.
In the 400,000 tons of cotton seed
there is-3t,280,000 pounds ot ammo
nia, worth at 15 cents per pound
$4,692,000. There were r 36,500
Ions ot ammoniated guano sold in
Georgia last year, this Contained an
average ot 2! per cent of ammonia
ot 6,800,000, pounds of ammonia.
So, you see that you bought nearly
7,000,000 pounds of ammonia, or
$1,050,000 worth of ammonia, when
you had nearly $5,000,000 worth on
your own plantations.
This is an ugly showing, but it
a great improvement on the old style
ot throwing the seed away entirely.
When you part with your seed, do
so in exchange for meal a at fair
equivalent; then buy acid phosphate
from the factory and make your own
guano. Arrange for your acid phos
phate early, say in August or Sep
tember.—-Atlanta Journal.

The Best War Novels.
Just at present there is a demand
for good war novels. Readers of the
younger generation delight in them,
and time has softened the bitter
memories of the great ‘struggle so
that the actors in it can now recall
its romance and reality without pain.
The supply of good war stories is
not equal to the demand, and some
enterprising publisher would do a
good thing for himself and the pub
lic it he would bring out in popular
shape the novels of John Esten
Cooke.
Of all our war novels Mr. Cooke’s
arc the best. His “Surrey of Eagle’s
Nest,” “Mohun,” ‘Hilt to Hilt,”
“Hammer and Rapier,” and others,
are lull of force and fire, life and
color, and graphic description. They
deserve a high place in southern fic
tion, but the fact that they were
written before the passions of the
war had subsided caused them to be
neglected at the time, and they are
in danger of being forgotten.
Mr. Cooke was a well-equipped
writer. He wrote in all some two
dozen novels, lives of Lee and Jack-
son and a historjLof Virginia. And
the crudest ot his works will compare
favorably with the average novel ot
the period. In our hunt for new
writers we are in danger of overlook
ing some of the older ones whose
merits entitle them to a place in our
favor.—Constitution.

From the New Yorlc Times.
Everybody who has read anything
about Australia has formed the ac
quaintance of that most. extraordi
nary of animals, the qrouhorynchns,
or duck-billed platypus. He varies
in size from the American .muskrat
to the woodchuck, has a brown fur
somewhat like a mole, but coarser,
and bright beady eyes, which are
almost completely hidden in his dim
inutive head. Thus much beast, he
has the bill of a duck, webbed feet,
and (unless my nxoilection is at fault)
the female lays eggs and suckles her
young. His fur is tbe most valuable
of that of any of tbe animals of Aus
tralia—which, for the most part, have
rather thin coverings—and his race
is rapidly becoming exterminated by
hunters for manufactories of cloaks,
caps, and rugs. As if the duck-billed
platypus did not sufficiently confuse
matters by combining the forms and
natures of mammal and bird, it has
pleased him to assume tbe habits oi
the fish to the extent of living in riv
ers and feeding on worms And water
insects. His likeness to the finny
tribes is further increased’by the tact
that the most approved way of catch
ing him is by means oi set lines with
baited hooks that are arranged by
night across the streams which he
most frequents, and upon which he
is found drowned in the morning,
His habits being chiefly nocturnal
and his agility in the water so great
that he will often dive at the flash of
a gun before the shot can reach him,
makes his capture by other methods
than the fish line somewhat uncer
tain.
The most extraordinary fact about
the animals and birds of Australia is
that the occurrence -of distinctive
species is restricted within very nar
row limits. The kangaroo, for exam
ple, is found in Australia and Tas
mania, but is unknown in New Zea
land; on the other hand, those extra
ordinary birds, the apteryx, or “kiwis,”
as the natives name it; the kea, or
flesh-eating parrot, ana kakapo, or
parrot that has wings but never flies,
are found in New Zealand and no
where else. The resplendent birds
of paradise also, although found
abundantly in New Guinea, do not
occur on the Australian continent,
although the straits that separate the
two countries are exceedingly narrow.
That singularly named creature,
THE LAUGHING JACKASS, .
is a species ol gigantic kingfisher,
which, having been placed by one of
nature’s freaks in a country where
there is almost no water and very
tew fish, earned the joke a degree
further on his own account and turn
ed his attention to the catching of
snakes. The bird derives his name
Irom his note, which is a compound
of the “hee-haw” of a jackass and
the laugh of a hopele ss maniac, with
a few interjected gurgles like the
sounds made by a roan while strang
ling and the groans of a person
afflicted with remorse.
There is an intelligence and evi
dent vein of humor in the laughing
jackass, who loves to approach you
silently, regard you contemptuously
for a season and then let off his de
monical note as near year ear as
possible—after which he makes off
expertly, cackling with densive laugh
ter as he goes. His disgraceful famil
iarity with strangers is ir« part due
to his own devil-may-care character,
and for the rest to the fa ct that no
body molests him, and that his ser
vices in keeping the' co untry free
from superfluous snakes are encour
aged by a fine of £$ imposed upon
any one who kills him. H’is manner
of dealing with snakes hr to pounce
upon them, seize them by the back
of the neck, fly with them, wriggling,
to a great height, and drop them to
the earth. The jackass ns on the
ground as quick as the snake, and if
the latter still shows fight, repeats
the operation until the serpent is
ready to give up the ghost j>eace-
ably. » ; .
The birds sounds of an Australian,
Tasmanian or New Zeal and forest
arc very peculiar. There is very lit
tle song, properly so-called, but many
melodkwis notes, and a combination
of diverse tones which inoduce an
effect that is peculiar and agreeable.
One bird has a note like the tolling
of a deep bell far away in the depths
of the forest; another a “glng, glug,
glog,” which sounds like liquor run
ning c ut ot a bottle; a third gives a
sharp, cutting note precisely like tbe
endi of a bullock driver’s whip; one
s*glis, another whistles, a third files a
saw, and others go “wippity, wfppity,
wippity,” “craik, craik, enuk,” “more
pork, more pork,” and indulge in
other strange cries which make one
think the whole forest has gone
drunk or insane, and, if be be at all
ot a humorous bent, cause turn to
laogb outright at the strange jar
gon. $
Tbe multitude of colonial bods
show many extraordinary freaks,
quae in the line of the other* which
I have already described i New

bear of these, the bird called,

by the natives affording one of the
most remarkable. This is a bird of f

dead.
The extraordinary circumstances
about these funis is that it requires
two of them to secure a dinner, a
mate and a female. Thu male is
furnished with a thick, stout, chisel-
like beak, with which he chops iolo
the wood and expose, the hole in
which the grub borrows. The shape
of his beak, however, prevents him
from seizing the prey,- but the female
has a long, slender beak, which she
insinuates into the hole and drawl
out the wriggling morsel- She then
drops it into the mouth of the, male,
taking the next grab herself, and in
this alternate tasting and mama! as
sistance, the pair of “haiai; flit
biithesomeiy through tbe woods, and
set an example. It may be remarked,
which ifll wedded pairs, with feathers
or without, would do well to emulate.
It is a significant fact that in case
the male is shot the female makes
off at once, secure in the connction
that she can pick np a living ot va
grant worms by herselt, or find some
other male which would be glad to
join forces. If. however, the female
shot, the male remains and makes
no attempt to escape, evidently
knowing that without his female as
sistant his chances of securing a liv
ing are of the slenderest. Another
remarkable bird is
the “kea,” or flesh-eating parrot
a large green bird, which is tbe espe
cial terror of the sheep herders. Un
til sheep-raising was begun in New
Zealand this bird was a fruit, nut and
grain eater, but now has developed
into a carnivorous biped of the most
savage character. His practice now
is to settle upon the back of a sheep
lamb, and with his sickle like
beak pick a hole in its sides, over
the kidneys, and delve out and de
vour the rich (at surrounding the or
gans. This done they leave the
sheep, which for a time wanders
about in excruciating pain, and pres
ently dies miserably. Another pe
culiar parrot id this country, is the
“kakapo”
whose mottled green and yellow plu
mage is admirably adapted to screen
its wearer from observation while
moving about among the underbtush,
which is hiy chosen haunts. Al
though possessing perfectly develop
ed wings, the “Kakapo” never uses
them, and confines itself to crawling
about among the thickets which
form an almost impenetrable mass
under the New Zealand forest-
The leading represenatives of the
breed of “apteryx,” or birds without
wings, arc the
“KIWIS,”
who are sometimes kept in the hous
es of the Maoris fo keep them free
from rats, which they “nail” most
accurately with their long-pointed
bills. They are queer lumps of birds,
with plumage that is half hair, half
feathers, lay eggs nearly as big as
themselves, and have the merest re-
dimentary wings, which a lew gener
ations more will eventually see disap
pear altogether. They are the weir
dest, queerest looking fowls that
earth produces, and look like brown
grouses as they stalk gravely and un
dismayed by the presence of the
stranger through the dim forest
aisles.
They are the only survivors of the
giant birds that formerly stalked
about New Zealand, the “moas,”
whose date of extinction is consider
ed to have been not more than
century^tgo, and whose only remains
are now preserved in the museums.
Some thirty or forty complete skel
etons are here to be seen, embracing
a dozen species varying from 4 to 15
feet high, all of which have been
found in caves or at the depth cf 10
or 12 teet below the surface of
swamps and bogs. Fragments of
eggs have also been found, find in
the caves, feathers enough to show
that the plumage of the “moa" was
like that of the emu, long, slender
and hairy. Many other species
must soon follow the “moas" into
the oblivion, or into the insufficient
representations of the museums.
They are so old and strange that ev
er; traveler, spnrtman and collector
must have one. Thousands are
killed annually in mere wantonness,
and birds beasts, like the Maoris
themselves, are slowly disappearing

750 Dollars in Gold for the Best
Acre of Corn.
The Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety offers a prise oi $750 for tho Ur-
gest yield of corn in one measured acre.
It seems that the Amerioin Agrioullu
rut offers four prises of $500 dollars
each for the largest yield per acre re
spectively of corn, wheat, oats and po
tatoes: If the Ameriotn Agricultu
rist first prize of $500 for the beet
sere of corn, is taken by a Georgia
farmer, our State Agricultural Society
will give $250 additional to it, making
the total amount of cash obtainable for
the best acre of ora, if grown iu Geor
gia, $750. If this premium is not ta
ken the State Agricultural Society will
give $100 for the largest yield of oorn
obtained in this competition by a Geor
gia farmer.
The ooutestants will be provided by
the American Agriculturist with a
book in which to make out their
reports and the work of tho experiment
station will be published in tbe
Agriculturist next winter. Thia wifi
be a grand advertisement for tbe
State. Iodeed, the offer made by tbe
Georgit State Agricultural Society has
already attracted wide attention among
the best olasses of farmers throughout
the North aod West.
Wo heartily endorse the idea that if
Georgia captures the American Agri-
culturist first prize for corn, it wifi be a
greater advertisement of our resources
than mao; limes $500 expended in
ordiosxy advertising. It will convince
the progressive farmers of other sections
that Georgia is a far better agricultu
ral Btate than many of them think. It
is the duty of every progressive farmer
in thu statu to put forth his best efforts
to secure this grand prize for the best
acre of corn, not only for bis own sake,
but for the sake of the State. Even
if he doesn't get tho first prixs, he may
secure the secondary prise offered by tha
State Society, or some ot the very lib
eral special prizes offered by the Amer
ican Agriculturist, wbile the extra crop
he receives will, in every case, more
than repay him for the extra efforti ho
has msde to secure the prises. The

The Newspaper in School.
At a school in Iicsston, Kan, a
copy of the Kansas City News, so
the editor of that paper informs its
readers, is kept constantly on file
for the use of the teachers aod schol
ars. It is quite evident that tbe
young ideas of Hqpton wifi be
taught to shoot in the right direction.
The boy who is abrest with the news
of the day has won half the battle to
wards fame and fortune. To be up

out of the swim is to receive more
buffets than justly belong to you,
The successful merchant is not one
who understands the routine of bus
iness only, but be who is conversant
with the affairs of the world and reg
ulates his interest according to them.

es are built first, then a church, then
a newspaper office—home teligiou
and iDtelligtr.ee going hand in hand
to build up a sturdy acd enterpris
ing manhood. There is a level-hea
ded common sense in these Kansas
teachers who have introduced the
ncwsptper into the school room,
is a whole curriculum of study in it
self, and this Western ..-ustom might
be transplanted here with advantage
to future Cabinet Minister* and,
mayhap. Presidents.—New York
