Call Most Goa Deaths Suicide.
So far no gas company lias carried
the experiment to tile extent of fur
nishing mercaptan mixed with gas to
their customers. In spite of the ad
mitted excellence of such a signal as
a lifip-suvor, the scientists held that
the best practical method for cut! ng
down accidental deaths in ci! es
through tile use /of gas was the -e-
quireinent of a high standard of ■ is
apparatus. *The report of l)oet. s
Haggard and Henderson to the Ameri
can Gas association said:
“The observations made by the au
thors during tlie investigation indicate
that a considerable number of the
cases of fatal asphyxia recorded as
accidental in the Borough of Manhat
tan, New York city, are really suicide.
The published figures for 1!>20 report

Blames Defective Apparatus.
“In fact, a large proportion of acci
dental fajaltfics are due to obviously
defective fixtures, chiefly cheap, badly
made, old. worn, cracked, loose tubing
'between the gas Jet and stoves or i
burners of various sorts. Tills Is not
a matter over which gas companies

Citadel cf Quebec.
Quebec citadel is a strong fortifica
tion covering 40 acres of ground, nnd
In ils present form it dates from 1828.
The more modern fortifications were
construeted lp 1820-30, substantially
on tlie lines of tlie French wosks of
1C20. The citadel has been garri
soned by Canadian soldiers since the
withdrawal of British troops in 1871.
It incloses a parade and dr 11 ground.
42 acres in extent, surrounded by bar
racks and magazines under the walls.
Heavy cannon are mounted on the
ramparts. A large stone building
forms tlie officers’ quarters, with the
governor general's residence (occa
sionally occupied by him) at the oast
end, overlooking tlie river. A splendid
vista can be seen from the king's bas
tion at tlie northeast nnglq. of tlie
ramparts. Tlie west ramparts over
look the Plains of Abraham. Quebec
citadel has been called the “Gibraltar

POINTED OUT DANGER IN CUP
John Wesley Set His Face Sternly
Against the Drinking of Tea—
Himself a Victim.
,7j»hn AVesley was against tea drink
ing. During a visit to Oxford he no
ticed, among what lie described iqs
“paralytlck symptomp,” tins shaking of
his hand, and lie was puzzled to ex
plain it, until, us lie wrote to a
friend, “I observed it was always
worst after breakfast, nnd that If 1
Intermitted drinking tea for two or
three days it did not shake at ult."
At first lie was content to udil more
water, sugar and n>ilk, but finding, on
Inquiry, tlmt there were others who
were similarly affected, or thought
themselves to he, he came to tlie con
clusion that lie ought to abstain alto
gether, and to endeavor to persuade
others to follow- Ids example.
Sir Walter Besant tells of tlie writer
of a pamphlet in 1758 who was alarmed
at the spreading of the custom of
drinking tea, especially by “persons of
an inferior mill; --ml mean abilities.”
When taken in compnnywwith gossips,
said tlie" author, a dram too often fol
lowed, and Uh-ii eunie. Scandal, with
falsehoods, perversions and lmek-bit-
ings.
Wesley does not sgem to have ad
vanced such lofty moral considera
tions. In fact, alter suggesting to his
friend a number of substitutes—chief
ly herbs—lie concluded: “If you find
none of them well agree With your
constitution, then use (weak green)
ten again; hut at the same time know
that your having used it so long has
brought you near the chambers of
death.”
Floating Islands.
Natural floating islands sometimes
are seen In -tile .Mississippi nnd other
rivers, and in lakes, occasionally be
ing of sufficient size to serve as pus-
lures. 'They are formed of earth
which is held together In a compact
form by roots interlacing, and they
float because ’they are not heavy
enough nor sufficiently waterlogged to
sink. They have their origin in river
luniks which have been torn away and
carried down steam by a powerful
'current, and sometimes trees remain
growing, on these islands. Artificial
floating islands are made by taking
l'afts of wicker-work, covering them
with reeds, and then placing lake mud
on top. They are used by some of
the natives of India, Persia and
Thibet to 4 grmv encumbers, melons
and oilier plants which require a lot
of water. Artificial islands of this
nature at one time were used in the
waters about Mexico.

Aids Developmem of Slate’s
Mineral Resources
If you will take your map of Georgia and draw parallel lines about an inch apart,
diagonally across the state from Augusta in the northeast corner, past Cuthbert to the
southwest, you will indicate in a general way the location of practically inexhaustible
clay deposits. It would be entirely appropriate to color the clay belt in gold, because
it represents such tremendous potential wealth.
Georgia is generally regarded as an “agricultural state,’’ but its mineral products
^ in 1020 were valued in excess of $13,000,000 and clay products (brick and tile) made
up approximately 35% of this amount. Indeed, Georgia clay stands second only to
,G* jrgia marble in thelist. The development of the clay industry means more to a
greater territory and to a larger number of people than any other mineral.
The Central of Georgia Railway traverses the cluy belt, which is nbout 150 miles
in length and whieh_is from 25 to 50 miles wide. With a determination to ascertain
exact facts upon which a program of development might be bksed, this railroad has for
tHe past year nnd a half, been co-operating with the gvl-rnment in a series of tests
carried on at the ceramic station of the .United States Bureau of Mines at Columbus,
Ol io, and in various factories and potteries.
This research work and these plant tests are still in progress, but have reached a
point where it may be tated with full * suranet- that Georgia kaolins when properly
prepared can compete with the Fngii-h china clays (now so largely imported) in the
filler trade and the manufacture cf pottery, electric porcelain, floor-tile, wall tile, and
sanitary ware. This fact has been sufficiohtly established and is" of immense industrial
importance.
•An even more inviting field for development is affords) by tho bauxitic or re
fractory clays, new deposits of which have recently beeri discovered. These clays
possess the piimary requisite for the manufacture of fire brick for electric, chemical^
metilurgica! and industrial furnaces—the ability to withstand fusion at high tempera
ture. Plant tests show further that brick made from these clays can successfully carry
a surprisingly great load at high temperatures and resist cracking and chipping when
subjected to sudden heating and cooling.
There is enough clay in Georgia to supply the needs of the nation for generations
to come. The deposits are so favorable located as to permit mining and marketing
with a maximum of economy. There is an increasing demand and a decreasing com
petitive supply. To advantage themselves of these favorable circumstances clay pro
ducers need chiefly to bring about a uniformity of product whrehy the pottery indus
try may be assured of a standard of excellence. Refactory plays are so located as to
permit mining at about 15 f /<! of the cost usual in handling fireclays. There is a market
ready at hand in Birmingham and elsewhere for firebrick for metallurgical work and
the continent of South America is'h vast market place with a growing demand, w-hich
can he met under favorable transportation conditions.
Dr. R. T. Stull, chief ceramist of the United fctates Bureau of Mines, who has per
sonally inspected the clay deposits of Georgia and who has had charge of the research
work at the experiment station, says:
“The opportunities for (k-velopment are so numerous and so ’
glowing that it is difficule even to ^suggest them in a limited space.
\ There are great things ahead of those who own and who handle
Georgia clays if they bring to bear intelligent modern methods in
— meeting and solving their problems. ' •
The research work and plant tests that the Central of Georgia
Railway has made possible proves the value of the refractory clays
for r urnacc linings, so important to tho industries. It further
prove - that Georgia kaolins can be utiiized for a much wider field of
usefulness In the pottery, filler and allied trades.”
Pamphlets describing the clay resources, the searching tests that the Company
h ashad made at the government station, the preliminary results, and other facts may
bo obtained upon application to J. M. Mallory General Industrial Agent of the Oerr-
traT of Georgia Railway, Savannah, Ga.
This railway recognizes that its primary obligation is to supply safe, adeouale
and dependable transportation to the territory dependent uvon it. Moreover, it real
izes a furthcrM ligation to do whatever it can for the development of its territory,
and to aid i« advancing the prosperity of its patrons. / Its eo-operativo work in nincr-
als, at large expense, is one phase of its industrial department. It maintains an agri-
cfiltural department for efforts along like lines for the benefit of the farmers of its
territory.
The Central of Georgia Railway strives to lie a good citizen and a' nelpful
neighbor in inch community it serves.
