"■■ “ I First Artesian Well. in Southeast Georgia Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 12.-Geo logists have claimed that it was j impossible to obtain a flowing! well in this section of the state! until this week, when 0. H. ; Hightower, living a mile and a half from the city, struck a free-: flowing stream of sulphur water at a depth of 100 feet. No other flowing artesian well is known anywhere in this section of the ; state. Chimney Smoke a Symbol. “Can anybody tell me,” said Mr. Dreamington, “why I like the sight of smoke? “Not far from where I live there’s a tall stack of a factory of some sort. I love to sit and ! watch the smoke rising from that tall chimney, rolling sometimes! straight up, or blowing this way or blowing that. This smoke is our weather-vane But smoke has many significances. “See the smoke Hying fiercely I back from the stacks of an ocean steamer sign of tremendous j energy and conquering power. “See in some peaceful country side in the still air of early morn- j ing smoke curling upward from j the stout chimney,of the farmer’s j home, betokening a stirring with- j in and breakfast soon. “See the smoke that rises from the campers fire freedom and good cheer. “See the smoke <>f burning in-: cense in the churches devotion. “The smoke of the myriad chimneys of the town, activity, endeavor, pushing et. rpriseand the rich and the jioor. Smoke is the univ ersal outward sign of a man; the vorld around it signifies everything that hu man life, savage or civilized, im plies. This no doubt, is the rea- j son why I like the sight of smoke; j but I should be glad if somebody could make it plainer for me for my better, keener understand- j ing.” Solving the Egg Problem. It was a genius there was no doubt about it. His hair was j long, and there was a dreamy, , far-away look in his eyes, and he j had a scheme that would make | him rich rich beyond the dreams 1 of avarice. “What is your schemeV” asked a friend of his, seeking the secret information. “Come to a quiet corner and 1 1 will tel! you.” said tlu* long-look- j ed one. “Tis thus. It has been estimated that the common fe-j male housefly lays 20,00(1,000 eggs in a season.” “Well,” answered his friend, j “what of that?” “1 propose, ” continued the other in a triumphant voice, “to graft the housefly on to the hen. ’’ Where Com Grows Tall. The prospot of a big corn yield in Kansas- this fall recalls j the story of tin leg Kansas corn at the Philadelphia centennial. Among the Kansas agricultural exhibits at that fair was some j corn on the stalk grown in the Neosho river bottoms. It was 2<* feet high and the ears looked, as long as stove wood. An old lady from Vermont gazed at it and declared that the stalks were spliced. Then she took another look and changed her mind. “But," said she, “it didn’t grow that big in one year. It must have grown for two seasons’’ The man in char of the Kan sas exhibit was somewhat of a ; prevaricator himselt. “Lady,” said he in great solemnity, “we are almost ashamed to exhibit this corn. This has been a hot, dry year in Kansas and we have not been able to raise very large corn. But we felt that it wouldn’t do to have a Kansas exhibit with out corn, so we brought this little stuff along. In a really good year the corn grows so high in Kansas that eagles build their nests in the tassels, knowing full well that they are out of range of the farmers’ guns. ’ i | Man Stumbles on Riches. Clear Lake, Arizona. —T. Ollie Phillips was a poor mining pros pector less than a year ago. j When he was not roaming over the mountains he made his home at Bisbee. Recently he was paid *200,000 for undeveloped gold and silver claim situated in ; this new camp. W. S. Small and ! I. H. Kniffen, .who purchased! the property from Mr. Phillips,: have in turn just disposed of it j to a syndicate of Boston and Springfield (Mass) men. headed by Smith Bros., the reported con sideration being $500,000. The new owners have taken steps to organize a company to operate the mine. It is claimed there is enough ore in sight to justify the erection of a 250-ton mill. It 1 w'us by chance that Mr. Phillips | ’discovered the vein which has| brought him a fortune. He was making a trip through this sec tion less than twelve months ago, accompanied by a photographer. 1 whose mission it was to got some views of the famous Apache Box | Canyon. One day, while the ' photographer was off taking pic tures, Mr. Phillips aimlessly walked through the Dictureseue 'canyon. His trained eye caught | sight of gold in a bowlder that i was lying in the Bottom of the gorge. He examined other bowl ders and found gold in all of them. Keeping the discovery to himself, he remained with the photographer until the latter had ! finished his work. He then re turned to the canyon and began a systematic search for the vein from which the bowlders had come. He succeeded in finding it upon the wall of the canyon land staked out his claim.
