BRANTLKY, Editor | Th * 6t ‘ t * °*°*>gleal ^"‘m.nt I, TURNER. Business Manager announces,, th* publication of a re- sort cotltltd tb© Geology of th© <1 HHTRIPTION PRIOR (1 A YEAR ^ „„„ 0( Q^u. ^ work ha* been prepared under a co opers tlra agreement between the Georgia Geological Surrey and th* United States Geological Surrey. Under tb* Plan of co-operation two reports were to b* published on to* Coastal Plain—on* dealing primar ily with th* stratigraphy, th* ond to be a thorough study of un derground waters. These report* hat* Intoltad an Immense amount of labor, about three years of field and office work and hating been spent upon them. The work of collecting Informa tion and writing th* reports nas been done by Otto Veateb, As sistant State Geologist of Georgia, and L. W. Stephenson, of th* United States Geological Surrey, under th* general superrlslon of T, Wayland Vaughan, of the U. 8. Geological Surrey. The Coastal Plain la that pert of Georgia lying south of Augusts, Mllledgetllle, Macon, and Columbus, and Is on* of th* three major geolog ical dltlalona of tb* stats—th* sec ond being foe Piedmont and moun tain section, and the third being th* limestone and shale region *m. bracing ths ten northwest coun ties of the State. Oomparatltely little ha* heretofore been knows concerning the nature and arrange ment of the rocks which underlie South Georgia, and one of th* ob jects of tala work was to maks a classification of the rock formation: to ghre a description, o fthelr lith ologic character, whether composed limestone, marl, sand, clay, or other rock; and to make a map showing their geographic dtatrlbn tlon. While the preaent report la tn the main largoly scientific. It contains much of general Interest and soould be of great educational Talus. It has been found absolutely essential to conduct such preliminary aclen- title work In order to make Intelli gent studies of natural mineral re sources. It Is believed that this re port will be of great value In th* future study of the claya, fuller* earth, bauxite, maria and limestone, the soils, and the artesian waters of this region. As one example, by means of the geological Informa tion which we have gained, we ar* now able to atate with some cer tainty not only the kind ot-rdc? which will be encountered In drill' Ing In south Georgia, and th* depths at which It will be struck, but also whether artesian flows will be obtained and In a general way the quality of foe water to be ex pected. The report on the under ground water* will be shortly pub lished by th* U. 8. Geological Sur- T. ' ' ’ •' * .'I Th* first part of the book deals with the phyalograph, and la th* Hirst comprehensive, scientific ac count of th* surface features of this i«glon which baa been published. will perhaps be of Interest to dtlsena of South Georgia to know why one portion of their section of the State Is broken and hilly, an other portions lovel and Indented with llmeslnks. and still another flat, featurelesa, and 111 drained or swampy; or why some streams flow southward, while others flow south- westward. In other word*, the geological history or origin of the surface features la dlacuased. A description of Okefenokee Swamp, one of the grenteat natural wonders the Atlanta coast, I* given. A rather complete map of the swamp ha* .11*00 compiled, and a theory of the origin of the swamp la advanced. A list of all available elevation above aea level Is also given and should prove valuable as no such list haa heretofore been published. The second and larger part of th* book Is a description of th* rock for mations. The rocks have been class ified Into three greet systems, eight, series, 17 different formations, and even still further minor subdivis ions ar* made. Eeach formation la described separately aa to Its min eral character: Its tcsalle, remains of animal and plant life, which are the principal hast* of classification of the formations; Its structure, that la whether the beds ar* horl- aontal or tilted; while the distribu tion of the formations Is shown In colors on an excellent map of th* * Callle, Laboring under a New Year reso lution I* Ilk* carrying a pane of glass.

That was an amusing debate on art In the Senate, on December 20th between Mr. Root and Mr, Bailey, when Mr. Bailey objected to tbe bill called up Mr. Root providing (or a certain enlargement of author ity for the American Academy In Rome. Th# Academy to Incorporat ed In the District of ColumblB. Mr. Bailey held that such Incorporation waa a “falso pretense," and object- to the encouragement of Insti tutions abroad for educating Ameri can students In art “until every hall In America to crowned with a pub lic school-house." The idea that the schoolhouse would be a better look ing crown for the hill If the man who designed It had been to see what sort of buildings were used to crown hills In Europe did not occur to Mr. Bailey. At least he did net admit that It occurred to him. Perhaps h* Is entirely without pri Judlce about the looks ot school- houses and likes them aa well ugly as handsome. Perhaps he can survey without pain the four or five broni* statues before the State House In hto own State capital at' Austin and not realise that all bnt ono of them to guiltless of any debt of art, and that the one good one to (we be lieve) th* work ot an Italian.

RICE AND ITS VIRTUES. Tho editor ot the American Grocer points out that rice la an excellent and plentiful food to consider either during a potato shortage or a potato surplus. Ho to right, bu*. how manr of us get rice properly cooked? The secret cn n not be withheld and should be disgorged for the many. Sherry, the New York cate-er, brought ovor an East Indian curry cook who devtoed wonderful d'shea of which perfectly cooked rice was half the delight. He superintended ■‘.lie serving of an order himself, hla oriental costume and turban making an event of a meal. Rice was providentially distribu ted around the world In places where other grains would not grow and where other grains would be too heating for the lower-geared systems of the natives.
