[TRUMPET FOR FINDING WATER.
|
French Invention Which Is Said to In
l dicate Underground Currents
- An instrument which is said to have
been used by officials of the Water
Supply Department of the Paris gov
ernment was recently described at a
meeting of the Academy of Sciences
in the French capital. According to
“Fire and Water Engineering” (New
| York), it consists of a large ear trum
' bet set mouth downward upon :the
~placed, so as to leave a ring shaped
space between the upper edges of
the cone and the sides of the trum
pet. On the upper end is a rubber
tube éerminating in a pair of ear
pieces, which the operator puts to
Lis ears. In use, the instrument is
inclosed in a box stuffed with insulat
ing material to prevent the intrusion
of the sound of the outer.air from
being heard. Various tests, it is claim
ed, show that the instrument attains
the results desired, and in all the
“noise made by the running water
was somewhat like that which is pro
duced by the wind in the leaves of
trees.
“To show that the sound was act
ually caused by the water and not due
to any effect coming from the out
side, the instrument was taken a much
greater distance from the spot, and
the noise could no longer be -per
ceived. In order to make use of the
apparatus under the best conditions,
it must be oplaced properly in the
ground and in the spots whith lie at
the lowest level. A hole is dug in the
ground about eighteen inches square
and from ten to twelve inches dezp,
and the sunface is well flattened off,
so that the trumpet can be fitted
tightly upon the ground; also it
should be placed as flat as possible.
The base of the instrument is then
sealed with earth to a depth of four
inches, but without packing it down.
The two tubes are placed in the
sars, and the observer remains in this
positions for about” five minutes.
Should there be a flow of water with
in a reasonable distance, the observ
er should hear the sound as described
addve, The instrument will probably
not detect the npresence of water
when removed to a distance of eight
hundred feet to one side, as was
found by the experiments.
“When it is desired to explore .
piece of ground in order to locate
an underground spring for the pur
pose of boring a well, a series of
holes should be dug at different parts
of the ground, and the point which is
best for carrying out the boring will
.be the spot which shows the loudest
sound,
“Should outside noises interfere with
‘ such operations, the apparatus as well
as ‘the head, can be covered by 2
‘ blanket to deaden the noise. Persons
- should not walk near the apparatus
- at the time, nor should the observa.
tions be made when near a road, ex
cept when vehicles are at a great
distance,”
Without more information about the
Success attending the use of this de
vice perhaps the story should be ac
cepted with some reserve. That claims
!a’re made for such apparatus, how
ever, is a noteworthy circumstance.
The story is not itself incredible,
Further light on the subject will be
awaited with something more than
idle curiosity.

News of the Legislature, |
If the Georgia legislature incorpo-{“,
rates into the general tax bill all}
the provisions introduced by members:
it soon wil be nearly as hard to get.
a drink of soda water in the state
as it is now to get a drink of whis
key. Face to face with deficit and
with salaries and bills unpaid, the
solons are grubbing desperately to
find revenue producers. Since the'
advent of prohibition, the soft drink
industry has become the biggest thing:
in the state. Hence it offered the
easiest solution of the problem. Here
are some of the tax clauses already
passe¢ by the house: Five dollars a
year upon each faucet of a soda was
ter fountain; five hundred dollars
per year for each manufacturer
of carbonated water; $25 per year
apon each bottling machine in the
state; a revenue stamp costing §
cents each for a gallon of syrup or
tincture or extract manut‘actureg or.
sold. All of these taxes are in addi
tion to the tax levied by the cities,
towns and villages in which the deal:
er resides, and these towns have not'
overlooked the soft drink dealers li{f
their plans for raising revenue. These.
levies, too, are in addition to certain
specific taxes which have been directs
ed against certain big manufacturers
of well known bottled drinks. Seve
eral ambitious members say they
have measures being drawn whic{.:-
will help to increase the funds. Con
servative members are alarmed, and.
declare that unless the assembl{‘
goes slow, it will cut off nearly all
the state’s revenue, instead of m’i
creasing it, . M
One of the first general bills of
interest and jmportance enacted by
the general assembly at this session
to be signed by Governor Brown | !j
that prohibiting the issuance of trad
ing stamps redeemable by a rd
party, to which the governor has just
affixed his signature. This bill was
especially championed by the se_
tor and representatives from . Rich
mond county. It does not prohibit &
retail merchant from issuing trading
stamps and rebate checks, redeem:
ble in trade in his own store, but it
makes it unlawful for any merchant
to issue trading stamps for redemp
tion by a third party. : 1
The Alexander prohibition

cense tax on manufacturers and
wholesale dealers in near beer to sl,l

~ Bvery dog has “his' day, but ?;
Georgia dog has had two days before
the general assembly. At the end
of it, the dog comes out with a tax
of §1 a year on his head, so far as
the house has a say about the matter,
Canines, coca cola and automobiles
strike the house as being particular
ly good subjects to bear special tax
es, There were few to say a good
word in behalf of the dog. It is es
timated that this tax will yield the
state nearly $40,000 in revenue, or
result in the wholesale destructiofi
of dogs. Under the amendment to
the tax act, as adopted by the house,
every dog must be given in for tax
ation, and where this is not done and
the dog is sold for taxes, if the amount
bid does not equal the tax and foes,
the unlucky dog .is to be killed. It
was first decided to make the delin
quent owner guilty of a misdemeanor,
but this was stricken. ‘
By a vote of 23 to 18 the senate
voted to remove from office Chairman
S. G. McLendon of the railroad com
mission,
By an amendment to the general
tax act the house of representatives
placed a tax of 10 cents per gallon
upon coca cola an@ other syrups used
in the manufacture and sale of soft
drinks in the state of Georgia.
The increase in the tax on corpora
tions and practically every other spe
cial tax increase recommended by the
ways and means committee, was
stricken by the house of representa
tives and the figures in the old act
restored. The corporation tax was
reduced, the maximum tax upon sl,
000,000 corporations being made $100;
the tax on soclal clubs was reduced
from SI,OOO to SSOO, as in the old
law; the tax on loan agents was re
duced from SSO to $lO, and the tax
on cigarette dealers reduced from SSO
to $25. The increased tax on cigars
and tobacco dealers was also stricken,
as was the increased tax on sewing
machine agents., But the house soak
ed gypsy camps. In considering the
measure taxing itinerant dealers im
horses, mules and other live stock, it
provides that each individual mem
ber of a camp of gypsies coming into
the state should pay a tax of SSOO.
The effort of Dr, Hardman of Jack-‘
son to have the house reconsider thel
vote by which it had killed his auto
mobile tax bill was unsuccessful »
In support of an amendment to re
duce the tax on sewing machine com
panies from S3OO to S2OO, the same
figure as last year, Mr. Ellis of Bibb
declared this tax had beén quadrupled
in recent years, and that it was un
necessarily high, The amendment
was adopted,
A new code for the state of Georgis
which has been demanded by law

mittee of the house of representa

Hopkins to furnish the state a code
By the unanimous vote of the ways
and means committee, the bill of Mr |

{ THROWING RED HOT RIVETS.
ESpectacular Exhibition by Ironwork-
T ers in anr Uptown Building.
Where they are building the larg

streets, Amsterdam avenue and
Broadway, there is a daily exhibition
Of the skill with which ironworkers
Bandle redhot rivets. :
. Not only do the slingers have to

‘the length of the building but they
‘also have to pitch them up through
the framework for two or three stor

flble furnaces. The slinger is armed
with a long pair of tongs. About
E’;flfty feet away stands another man
- with a little wooden keg. He is sit
uated so that he can conveniently
keep the ironworkers supplied with
rivets. He has four or five sets of
ironworkers to watch, and to keep
them supplied all the time keeps the
man with the keg on the jump.
When a rivet reaches the required
heat the slinger removes it from the
bellows with the tongs. He draws
‘his anm back as far as he can and
with an underhand slink sends the
redhot rivet forward. The man with
‘the keg watches the rivet and has
the keg placed in such a position that
the rivet flies into ‘it and hits the
bottom with a bang. Then he re
moves the rivet with tongs and
passes it to a waiting ironworker.
The most spectacular feature of all
is to see a slinger send one of the
redhot rivets up through the building,
from one floor below to another. This
‘requires special accuracy because
‘the man <with the keg above can
only move a certain distance to either
slde. In most cases he is sitting
astride a steel beam. From constant
practice the men who de the slinging
are so accurate that they never waste

~ + THE NEW WOMAN
Made Over by Quitting Coffece.
Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage of Southerners than of
Northern people, for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work it does sis distressing
enough in some instances; as an il
lustration, a woman of Richmond,
Va., writes:
“I was a coffee drinker for years,
and for about six years my health
was completely shattered. I suffered
fearfully with headaches and nerv
ousness, also palpitation of the heart
and loss of appetite,
“My sight gradually began to fail,
and finally 1 lost the sight of one eye
altogether. The eye was operated
upon, and the sight partially re
stored, then I became totally blind in
the other eye,
“My doctor used to urge me to give
up coffee, but I was wilful, and con
tinued to drink it unti] finally in a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that I must give up coffee, so 1
began using Postum, and in a month
I felt like a new creature,
“1 steadily galned in health and
strength. About a month ago I be
gan using Grape-Nuts food, and the
effect has been wonderful, I really
feel like a new woman, and have
gained about 25 pounds.
“I am quite an elderly lady, and
before using Postum and Grape-Nuts
I could not walk a gquare without
