[A Comparison. T*
A few weeka ago we congratulated Mr.
Danbar of Fayette oonnty, who haa re
moved to this county, upon having left
tbe barrens of North Georgia for the gar
den^ tho world. Whereupon the Griffin
New* made some remarks about South-
intake* is 600,000,000 gallons. Tha
companies abstract 08.000,000 par day
—thut is, a little more than one-eighth
at tlie total flow. They poaaeae bower
to abstract 110,000,000 gallons per day.
On the drainage area of the Thames
there dwell 900,000 people finelnding
900,000 in towns of upward of 2,00(1
inbalnterits), and npor. it there live
00,000 boraea, 100,900 cattle, 900,000
sheep sml 120,000 pigs. Their sewer
age ami refuse pass into tho Thames
either directly or indirectly. The the
ory tlmt polluted river water purifies
itself in its flow has been proved to be
false. After filtration this water is
sent to London. It it considered vfry
satisfactory when filtration removes 28
per cent, of the organie impurities,
leaving 72 per oent to be inuuliod in
solution to tlio consumer. The com
panies derive a gross annual income of
£760,000 for this supply.
The volume of the flow in the river ia
fairly constant, but the amounts of its
pollution and of tho quantities ah-
•traded daily aro necessarily increase
ing oner. Tho whole of these figures
are taken from blne-tiooka, and, if dis
puted, the reference for each will ho
given. If it were possible for these
companies to have n reservoir contain
ing 08,(X*>>000 gallons of atmolntely
pure water, and into it wero allowed to
go the contents of water closets, house
hold slops end mannfectnring refuse of
112.600 people in tiih same proportion
which they respectively enter the
Thames at the present time, and in ad
dition os muuh of the manure ot 7,800
horses, 20,000 cattle, 112,600 sheep
and 16,000 pigs as eonld find its way
there, an J if 28 per cent., or even 50
percent., of (liese organic imparities
were removed by filtration, is there
any householder in London who would
nse it for drinking and domestic pur
poses? Yet this is pro rata what they
uncomplainingly, receive and nse every
d »y- ■
west Georgia being a dry desert It is
true that ws did have a five months
drouth and it waa a little dry and dusty,
bnt nevertheless we contrived to raise
something of a crop. As s comparison of
tba productiveness of North and South
Georgia we note the fsot tbst Mr. Dunbsr
sold his corn in North Georgia for 77je in
in tbe crib aod fodder at 85o per hundred,
He bought corn in Amurioos lor 99a de.

All of wbiob would seem to show that
even in a dry aeason Southwest Georgia
can raise a respectable drop, and av ad,

Deep Mm Llgbi
[Tho Continent]
A leailing, English jonrnal indorses
a plan recently formed by ad English
engineer lor founding "deep sea light
houses'* aa'a "hopeful scheme, which, if
carriod out. will fill a want that has
long been acknowledged aa a necessary
one.” As explained to tha London
soeiaty of engineers, this plan proposes
the construction of a hollow eyundar of
riveted iron work, 230 feet long, to con
sist of two scctjons—the upper part to
be 140 feet long, designed to roar ita
head above tho waves, and fitted a* an
ordinary lighthouse, whilo the rctnaln-
ing portion of the tal<« is to be ballasted
so as to sink below tbe water
line, and counteract the force ot wind
and waves on the exposed part. The
whole apparatus is to be snehorod iu
deep water by heavy stool cables. Tho
inventor claims that it would be easy to
tow anch a Structure to tho anbt
selected for it, and then, bv admitting
water to tho lower section, it would as
sume an upright position, and rido tho
waves like a bottle. The practical use
which this is intended to servo is to
give notice of approaching storms by
mrans of telegraphic connection with
the shore. It is lialieved to be prac
tical to found a floating telegraph
station, say one thousand miles from
tha ooost of England, in mid-ocean,
from which comings of approaching
xtorma could lie given at least twenty-
four-hours before their arrival.
