Miller, Proprietor The planet mercury. Like VcniM end For Like Cmn.r, it I. Now a DOad World. Mercury is a body devoid, practical ly if not absolutely, of air, of water and of vegetation. Consequently It is Incapable of supporting any of those higher organisms which we know as living beiugs. Its surface is a vast desert. It is rough tjatber than smooth. Whether this roughness be due tft mountains proper or to craters we are too far away from it to he able yet to sny. The latter is the more probable. Over the greater part of Its surface change either diurnal or sea sonal Is unknown. Three-eighths of its surface Is steeped In perpetual glare, three-eighths .shrouded In perpetual doom, while the remaining quarter slowly torus between the two. The planet Itself, ns a world. Is dead. Interesting as Mercury thus proves to be. tile interest as regards the plan et itself Is of a ralher corpselike char acter. I.ess deterrent perhaps is the Interest It possesses as a part of the life history of the solar system, for tidal friction, the closing act In the cosmic drama: has brought It where It is. The machine has ran down. Whether It ever supported life upon its Burfaco or not, the power to do so has now forever passed away. Like Venus and for like cause, it Is now a dead world. And It was the first thus to reach the end of its evolutionary ca reer, earlier to do so than Venus, in asmuch as tidal action waB very much greater upon it than on Venus and con sequently produced its effect more quickly. Mercury has long been dead. How long, measured by centuries, we cannot sny, but practically for a very long time. Venus must have become, so comparatively recently. Both, how ever. now have finished their course and have in a most literal sense enter ed Into their rest. PETITION FOR CHARTER. State of Georgia, Dougherty County.

"On my ship," RnUl the captain, "the stewards, the first day out, go to. every passenger and show Just how the life preservers are put on. "The steward first says: " 'Excuse me, air, but do you know how to manipulate a life preserver?' "‘Why, yes; I suppose so,’ the pbb- Last Of "eager replies. “ "Thou, sir, If you please,’ says the steward, getting a preserver down. And he hands It to the passenger to pnt on. "The passenger, nine times out of ten, either puts the life preserver on wrong of the Very Things that Have Since 1 or J ca “’ t fl& fta ‘ »?' 80 ^ stew, ard shows him how to do 1L He Is lm- Come to Pass, Including the Great Earthquakes—Other Prophesies, The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the great disaster which has be fallen San Francisco and other nearby cities of California was predicted In December of last year by Lee Spang ler, a Pennsylvanian, the "last of the prophets.” Spangler has ior some years teen making forecasts of the principal events that would happen each year, and he has with singular regularity been correct. Spangler first attracted attention as a prophet by announcing that, according to Scripture, certain passages of which he quoted, he was ordained by God to be the last of the prophets and predict the certain end of the world, the date: of which cata clysm he haB been postponing for some time, and which, according to his latest prediction, is to happen for a certainty in 1908. When Spangler prophesied the death of Queen Victoria and the assassina tion of President McKinley, the defeat of the Russians by the Japanese, the Chicago theatre fire, the North river steamboat disaster, the election of Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States, and other events long prior "to their occurrence, he gained a following, and many are not surprised at the destruction of San Francisco, after he had predicted de structive earthquakes In California. Here are a few of the events which Be predicted would occur in 1906, and as It will be seen, some of them have already come to pass: The dissolution of Russia. The overthrow of Turkey. The assassination of .the Czar Russia. The assassination of the Sultan of Turkey. The prevention of three wars by President Roosevelt. A protracted race war in the South, Destructive spring floods In the United States. A destructive eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The activity of Mount Pelee and Popocatepetl. Volcanic eruptions in ali parts of the world. The eruption of many volcanoes now supposed to be extinct. Great loss of life at sea by storms. Destruction of two Western cities by cyclones. Earthquakes In all parts of the world. Destructive earthquakes in Califor nia and the Philippines. Rebellion In Spain. Great disturbances all over Europe. He said further that the summer of 1906 will be hot and sultry throughout the temperate zone, with a high death rate. That Pennsylvania would have an administration of the people and that discoveries of corruption would be made which would drive some of the guilty to suicide. That God will wreak terrible ven geance upon the Russians for massa cre of the Jews. of Albany Decorating Co., Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Wall Paper, Burlaps, Room Mouldings, Rumney Bldg. ' ’Phone 393.

"You speak of the brooks,”’said the critic as be looked over his friend’s poem, “as the most Joyons things In nature.” “So they are,” said tfio poet. “But you are Inconsistent” "Why?" - “Because later on you say they ore ever murmuring.’’ pressed and grateful. "The life preservers, In a shipwreck, would be of little use, for nearly all the passengers would be unable to get Into them. There, should be a maritime law requiring a passengers’ drill with the preservers every voyhgo, so that each passenger in u catastrophe’ would know how to snve himself with the means placed at his disposal. As things are now, there might as well be no life preservers on ships.”—Philadel phia Bulletin. The CoAtlleat Canes. "A single joint malncea cane will al ways fetch from $400 to $500,” said the dealer. ' “Why?” "Because mnlaeca hardly ever grows with enough spneo between the joints to make a single joint stick. Usually the joints are not more than a foot apart. When you find in Singapore— that is where malncea comes from—a piece of mnlaeca with the joints five feet apart, so Glut it. will make a single joint stick, come to me, and I will,give' you $500 for It. Malacca sticks with the joints three feet apart are worth $30 or .$40. Snnkewood sticks, if they are marked well—snakewood comes from British Guiana—are worth $40 or $50. A yellow ebony stick —ebony comes to us In logs from Ceylon and Mauritius—is worth $20 or $25. Warig- hee, from Cblna, makes an excellent and costly stick.

Tbe general condition of tbe laboring classes, however, does hot seem to be so bad as might be supposed. In a country so vast (550,000 square miles) and so thinly populated (5,500,000 in all) a smoll and sufficient supply of food is easily raised, especially wltb such prolific soil at the command of the poorest.
