Distance Traveled by one wagon.
Macon Telegraph.
a small matter
for Macon’s “black maria” or
hurry-up wagon to make a run for
the distance of two or three blocks
ana return with a prisoner for the
station house, but when one fig
ures the distance that this con
veyance travels in a year he is
impressed with the idea that short
measurements added together
make long aistances; that atoms
united make big bodies; that pen
nies make dollars, and that no af
fair in this life is so small or in
significant as to be without some
purpose or value.
The “black maria” makes an
average of five runs a day; the dis
tance. traveled each day is about
six miles. The vehicle during the
past three months has made 442
runs, estimated by the patrol driv
ers at o68£ miles. This much-
used wagon has been in service in
Macon for six years, and it is fig
ured from the three months’ rec
ord that the wagsn has traveled in
the city to and from the patrol
boxes during the past six years
18,560 milps. It took 10,560 runs
to make this number of miles.
When one thinks of the many
times the horses are hitched and
unhitched and considers the short
distance to all the boxes, he is
bound to conclude that it is by
far the most used wagon if at the
same time the most dreaded vehi
cle that travels Macon’s streets.
The distance traveled by the black
maria is equal to over a half of
the circumference of the earth and
one and one-fourth times the
earth’s diameter. The distance
traveled by the wagon is equal to
fourteen times the distance from
Macon to New York; fifteen and a
half times the distance from Ma
con to Chicago; seventeen times
the distance from Macon to Balti
more ; 154 times the distance from
Macon to Atlanta; four times the
distance from New York to Liver
pool ; over twice the distance be
tween San Francisco and Hong
Kong, and twice the distance be
tween New York and the Cape of
Good Hope.
The Black Maria has traveled
286,887,600 feet, or 3,436,651,200
inches.
The two black horses that are
now in service at the station fur
nished the motive-power that car
ried the wagon over this space. If
a horse takes three feet every step
the two horses have taken 190-,
924,866 steps in traveling this dis
tance. Each revolution of the
wheel carries the wagon nine feet,
therefore the wheels on the wagon
have revolved 31,820,833 times.
All the world seeks the company
and companionship of those who
look on Hie bright side of life. It
is greatly a matter of habit. If
you have difficulty in seeing the
bright side just always stop and
consider how much worse it might
have been. The true Y enjoyment of
life comes from contentment found
ed on good health, and a habit of
seeing the bright side, which makes
cheerfulness.
A Use for “Bai Eggs.
The bad egg, says an exchange,
is generally supposed to be an ut
terly useless product, and yet at
least on& enterprising Philadel
phian is doing a lucrative and
highly respected business by turn
ing a thoroughly decayed egg to ]
good account, and enabling it to
add its modest share to the sum
total of American wealth and
prosperity. During the recent hot
spell thousands of eggs were ren
dered what appeared to be worth
less. En route to the city from
the Wfest the heat destroyed nu
merous crates, and many eggs
were found aseles9 by the time
they reached Philadelphia. Nat
urally you would think these bad
eggs would be thrown away. Not
so. Nor is the egg dealer even
compelled to pay for hauling them
away It is here that the enterpris
ing dealer in bad eggs asserts his
ingenuity and usefulness in the
community. He visits the com
mission merchant and offers to
haul them away free of charge.
FutLermore, when egg are scarce,
he pays at the rate of two and
thr§e cents a dozen for the decay
ed products, but now when thei
heat causes such a large percen
tage to be rendered spoiled he does
not have to pay anything; the
dealer is glfid enough to have his
assistance in hauling the spoiled
and useless eggs away. These he
takes to the factory, and they are
there converted into a solution
used in tanniDg. The solution los
es all offensive order in its prepar
ation, and is sold to the tanner by
the gallon. The latter uses it in
the seasoning of the leather, calf
skin particularly responding to its
application. It is used to whiten
the leather, an experienced tanner
says, and also to fill in the grain.
