%or To-day and Later go to Jakyl
Island to Spend tba Nbrbt—Bis Train
Will Vest Hina at Farnandina.
Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 9.—Jay Gould
and his party arrived in Brunswick to-night
at 6 o’clock on their special train. They
were met at the depot by Mayor Colson and
a committee from the board of trade and
council. After the introductions and hand
shaking were over the News' correspondent,,
was ushered into the magnate's pretence,
and, surrounded by Messrs. Wrenn, Cal
houn and Dillon, plied questiona Mr.
Gould reclined in an easy chair, and, after
preliminary remarks, said: “All rumors
about my not coming to Brunswick were
wrong. The Terminal company own valu
able property here, and Brunswick was the
objective point when the trip was first pro
posed. My attention has been drawn
to the place by numerous friends among
the officers of the various roads, and I
am very well acquainted with the facilities
you nave for handlmg large cargoes. To
morrow morning I shall take a trip around
the harbor and to the East Tennessee docks.
From there I go to Jekyl Island, and thence
through Florida.”
IN GOOD HEALTH.
Mr. Gould looks perfectly healthy, and
the whole party is in g<x4 spirits. Dr.
Munn, the family physician, says Mr.
Gould has entirely recovered from the bad
effects of the trip from Macon to Savannah
and was not fatigued by the ride here. He
says he is in splendid spirits and pleased
with the .-eosption accorded his party by
Brunawickians. I’assenger Agent Wrenn
was interviewed on the route next taken.
He says he has chartered the steamer City of
Brunswick, and to-morrow morning at 8
o’clock all the members of the party, ac
companied by committees from the Bruns
wick Board of Trade and counoil. will take
a trip to view the harbor, arriving at the
Terminal company’s wharves and com
presses about 10 o’clock. They will examine
them and return to the city.
ENTERTAINING THE LATHIS.
In the meantime other committees will
escort tne ladles of the party over the city
in carriages and return in time to meet the
boat here. Then the ladies will join Mr.
Gould’s party on board the steamer, leave
the Bruns wickians here,and proceed to Jekyl
Island. The rest of the day and night will be
spent on Jekyl, and Wednesday morning
the party will go by boat to Farnandina.
The special train will leave Brunswick and
meet them there. The party will go by rail
to St. Augustine, and thence on a steamer
up the Indian river. They cannot tell how
many days the trip will consume.
Manager King of the Oglethorpe hotel
will hare luncheon prepared on the City of
Brunswick here for the trip around the
harbor.
WRENN PUTS IN A DENIAL.
Mr. Wrenn denies having said that the
business trip ended in Savannah, and that
Brunswick was not in It as far as business
was concerned, but was only to be seen for
pleasure. He says that Mr. Gould from the
first insisted that Brunswick should be
visited, and that his lines hail such
interest* here that he wonld not entertain
the idea of giving Brunswick the go bv.
Further than that Mr. Wrenn would not
talk. The News’ correspondent spent sev
eral hours with the party, however, and
has it from reliable authority that Bruns
wick will be benefited by the trip. Mr.
Gould talked constantly of Brunswiok, and
made numerous inquiries concerning the
port.
HUNTING FOR THE LOVERS OAK.
Mr. Gould had heard of Brunswick’s
famous tree, “Lovers Oak,-’’ that oasts its
shade over an acre of ground. Turning to
Mr. Wrenn to-night he asked about the
tree and expressed a desire to see it. Both
hunted for the tree and walked eight blocks
by actual oount, but It was too dark to find
it. despite electric lights all the way. They
returned to the car disappointed, us no one
near oould point out the way to the tree.
WRENN TELLS A STORY.
Mr. Wrenn has anew joke, and upon
re-entering the car from the walk, turned
to Dr. Munn and said: “You have heard
about the lightning-rod man?”
“No,” was the response.
“Well,” said Mr. Wrenn, “an agent
•topped in front of a large house, and, ad
dressing a man on the porch, said: ‘Let mo
rod your house.’ ‘Don’t want it.’ came the
reply. * Oh, but I will put it up for twenty
cents a foot.’ ‘Go ahead,' was the response.
He pnt the rod up and requested pay, but ‘I
don’t owe you anything,’ said the man.
‘Why not!’ from the agent. ‘Well, this is
the county court house—that’s why.’"
Tha party roared, and with a satisfied
smile Mr. Gould sank into a chair, and as if
by signal the party dispersed. This was
the joke Mr. Wrenn told reporters in Sa
vannah to illustrate his position with the
party. He was willing to give them news
of some kind, but when they wanted proof
of what b said ho was like the mau who
gave the contract to the agent. This ex
plains why the interview with Mr. Wrenn
detrimental to Brunswick appeared.

BOW OF THE ALIANCSMEN.
The Southern Farmer Out With a
Cartoon and Editorial.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 9. —To-morrow’s issue
of the Southern Alliance Farmer presents
a chromo and several elaborate articles on
the recent meeting of the alliance leaders at
the executive mansion, on the occasion when
the paper was repudiated and condemned.
It, however, disappoints expectation, fail
ing to add much, either sentimental or
otherwise, to the comment already publiciy
made on the eonferenoe by CoL Livingston
and bis faction. The cartoon represents the
governor standing in the door by the man
sion, while his guests, in plug hate and
dandified overcoats, are being tnus interro
gated by the sentries in the foreground:
“Ushers—Give us the password, brother.
“Guests—l’m against Livingston, the
Southern Alliance Farmer, sub-treasury
bill and all.
“Ushers—That’s it; walk right in.”
A WHIPPER IN ALARM.
Col. Livingston or Editor Brown (for
they write so very much alike that no one
can tell one from t’other) sounds his old
time whipper in note by an alarm after the
following fashion: “But we mourn our
brethren, that they ars threatened with
serious peril. They should speak and that
at once, and with no uncertain sound on
the course of these men who reopen woundi
iu the order and undermine its usefulness
for selfish ends. Above all they should see
to it that the delegates to th state alliance
convention are true aud tried; that they
are men whom no sentiment can swerve
from the alliance cause. If this is done the
cause of the people will have naught to
fear.”

BELOW SEA LEVEL.
Gathering Salt From the Beds of the
Colorado Desert.
From the San FYancitco Chronicle.
Salton, Jan. 11.—Salton is one of the
lowest points in the United States, being 268
feet below theses level. It is a dreary spot
situated at about the end of a huge valley.
From time immemorial Salton has been a
desert and for all time to cotne it will re
main so. Except a few scant sagebrush
nothing grows on it nor can be made to
grow. Hero lie the huge salt beds which
are now being worked by a San Fraucisco
company, so what looks apparently a use
less waste is really valuable land.
The beds oover an enormous area and the
salt is scraped from off the surface aud is
not, as some jieople imagine, mined in the
same way as gold and silver. The beds are
about six to eight feet in length, and often
larger, for they are artificially made, and
in them oozes the s.n t The only tools
which are employed to gather the salt are a
shovel and a hoe. Then the crude salt is
loaded upon fiat cars and run down by a
locomotive into the mills, where it is
Sounded up into salt for the table, for tbe
airy, and for such other purposes as is
needed. Tha amount of salt that can be
produced is incalculable. Indeed, there is
enough to supply tbe civilized world for all
time to come, aud if there was a failure of
salt anywhere tbe Colorado desert would be
able to supply the demand.
In broad day, when the beds are seen
from the railroad cars, they look like an
immense inland osean, whose waters are of
glaring white, upon whose broad bosom rise
innumerable mirages from a great city
blessed with churches aud cathedrals, whose
spires are as numerous as the masts ou the
River Thames to great ocean steamships
and large sailing vessels, lu earlv morn
ing, wneu the sun is rising, the scene is ono
of unsurpassed splendor, for as the rays
strike the salty crystals they flash forth
various colored lights.
The only labor that can be had here is
Chinese and Indian, and Mr. Durbrow, the
manager, who has had considerable ex
perience with the Indians, says that the
Indians of the Colorado desert are admira
ble workers. Indeed, they appear to he
and are particularly ambitious. They have
built around the manager’s house quite a
little settlement, and they are epicures in
the manner of food. They are all men of
family. Their womeu, who are singularly
good looking, keep house for them, but do
no sort of manual labor exoept that con
nected with the house. The bucks aro stal
wart young chaps, aud so well thought of
are they by Mr. Durbrow that ho pays the
Indians *1 50 a day and the Chinese $1 35 a
day.
j HEADS OF FAMOUS FRENCHMEN.
j How Some Great Characters Mrs
Judged bv Scientific Messurem ent.
From the New York World.
Scientific Pari* is just at present enthused
over anew fad, well known in America —
the shapes and measurements of the heads
of tbe famous people: Among the recent
experiments, made with a measure such as
is nsed by a hatter to shape hats to order,
are some extremely curious results. Of
course, the exact dimensions of the crani
um* of historic personages have to be se
cured from pictures and ousts.
Oue of the most irregular is that of Vol
taire. which is almost pear-shaped, bulging
out suddenly and offering a ounous number
of indentations. If this is the philosophical
head—philosophy not unmixed with
poignant satire and cynicism—then the
legal cranium differs radically from it.
M. Demange, one of the ablest criminal
lawyers in Paris, the man who conducted
with ths most consumate skill tbe defense
of the murderer Pranzini, has a perfectly
round head.
Gen. Le Brun might represent the mili
tary head, almost oblong.but Gon. Ferron’s,
a brave and capable French commander, is
entirely round. Tbe latter is prudent and
cautious in his movements.
Gambetta had a very ordinary head, com
ing slightly to a point in the rear. This is
the French political cranium.
M. de Cassagnac has an enormous head,
almost perfectly round and quite ample
enough to harbor all the different feuds to
which he has been a party. If his head is
to be taken as an illustration of combative
ness, as shown in the numerous duels in
which he has been a principal, then M.
Henri Rochefort’s, his rival in that regard,
is almost the opposite type—rather long,
narrow and of a very irregular shape.
The head that wears a crown, or rather
should wear a crown, if the royalists are to
be believed, is narrow in forehead and al
most regular in shape. Tbe Due d’ Auraale
and the Due de Montpensier are similar in
regard to the shape of the forehead, but
tbe latter’s is enormous in its proportions.
Marshal MacMahon is a combination of
the military and the political —a narrow
forehead, small oblong head, a little like
Voltaire’s, but of much smaller
It is almost the same as that of Gambetta,
but not so regular. Avery small head is
that of the Prince of Monaco, who has
never distinguished himself in any particu
lar, while a regularly long and narrow one,
almost the fac-simile of a foot, belongs to
Osman Pasha,
The French scientists believe that race
and nationality have much to do with the
shape of the bead. Thesame military genius
who in one part of the world has a long,
narrow head, in another part of the world
will be small and round. According to
them the North Germans, Swedes, Nor
wegians and Russians are long-headed, de
riving their origin from eastern sources,
while the South Germans, the Austrians,
the Hungarians, the Swiss, the Irish, the
French, being of Celtic origin, are round
and broad in the shape of their craniums.
A FRENCHMAN’S QUEER IDEA.
He Proposes to Drop People Safely
from the Eiffel To war.
From the New York Timet.
A French inventor, ba ving in mind peo
ple who dete upon the particular sensation
that one feels on a high swing, on the edge
of stoop declivities or in any place where
there is a rapid descent, proposes to give to
the public the feeling of a vertical fall of
several hundred meters into space. To him
a jump from the top of the highest steepl e
is a more bagatelle; it requires the hight of
the Eiffel tower to satisfy his ambition. It
is in one word a question of letting
amateurs fall a distance of 300 meters and
giving them back safe to their families. At
tho end of 140 meters of the fall the rate of
descent of this new species of tourist will be
45 meters a second; at the end of 300 meters
it will be £5 meters per seoond; at the end
of 300 meters it will be 77 meters per sec
ond, The nPtet rapid railroad trains make
about 30 meters per second. Never, then,
has the humau race experienced so high a
speed as that proposed.
‘lt is always easy enough to fall 300 me
ters, but it is not so easy to pick one’s self
up safeaud sound. Tills is the scheme of
the inventer. He builds a cage similar in
shape to a shell for a cannon. In the body
of the shell is a large space, having a diam
eter of three meters and a hight of four
meters, with room to hold fifteen persons
comfortably seated in arm chairs. The floor
is a mattress having springs fifty centime
ters high. Beneath, and forming the point
of the shell, is a series of cones inclosed one
within another. The total hight of the cage
is ten meters; its weight four tons. From
the top of a tower one can let this gigantic
shell fall with its load without injury to
any of the occupants.
Where it strides the inventor has hollowed
out a large basin filled with water, shaped
like the bowl of a champagne glass. The
shell is received in this soft cushion and dis
places about thirty tons of water. The
shock that the voyagers would otherwise
feel is by this means entirely deadened.
The buoyancy of the shell causes It to rise to
the surface, and the bold experimenters can
then get out. The shell is then to be lifted
up by an elevator to the top of the tower,
where everything is ready to begin again.
The price for this venturesome journey is
already fixed at 30 francs a person. This
might be recommended as anew idea to the
directors of the Chicago exposition.
