[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. livered and fodder at 99 per huudred. All of wbiob would seem to show that even in a dry aeason Southwest Georgia can raise a respectable drop, and av ad, ditional evidence ot that loatwenote that Mr. Ed.

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. -(»)- J.
