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. FOLKSTON, GA., AUGUST 5. 1909. 1 . i 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 adopted as an amendment to Sec on 7 of the general tax act in the houge. of representatives increases the i cense tax on manufacturers and wholesale dealers in near beer to sl,l 000 and the tax on retail dealer SSOO, payable quarterly. It [furthe places many additional restrictions ~ 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 yers throughout the state was provid ed for by the general judiciary com mittee of the house of representa tives when it adopted a bill to acl‘ cept the proposal of Judge John L. Hopkins to furnish the state a code By the unanimous vote of the ways and means committee, the bill of Mr | Beazley of Lee to require mortgages reservations of title and gecurity deeds to~be listed with the tax re ceivers of the county in which the property is found, was defeated, ! { THROWING RED HOT RIVETS. ESpectacular Exhibition by Ironwork- T ers in anr Uptown Building. Where they are building the larg - est apartment hotel in the world, at - Eighty-sixth and Eighty-seventh 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 ithrow the redhot rivets almost half ‘the length of the building but they ‘also have to pitch them up through the framework for two or three stor ies. . From the street below you can see the bright fires burning in the port. 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 & rivet.—New York Sun. ‘ King ‘Menelik’s Collection. . The mania for collecting seems to attack most people at some period or other. An odd collection of curios is that amassed by the Abyssinian mon. arch, Menelik IL, who is said to have in his possession more than 2,000 cks of human bair of every shade ’ 44l !‘_?l; :vg:' L - The same monarch has also a pret ty and more comprehengible taste in emeralds and is reported to possess one of those stones which is of dnique size and lustre.—London Globe GOT HIS BEARINGS. “But,” asked the young doctor, “why do you always order cham jpagne for every new patient that comes to you?” “Because, my boy,” replied the old practitioner. “I can judge by what the patient says whether or not he. can afford it. That helps me when I come to make out my bill.”—Phila delphia Press. ~ + 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 exceeding fatigue; now I walk ten or twelve without feeling it, Formerly in reading I could remember but lit tle, but now my memory holds fast what I read, “Several friends who have geen the remarkable effects of Pogtum and Grape-Nuts on me have urged that I give the facts to the public for the sake of suffering humanit 7, 80, Al though 1 dislike publfcity, you can publish this lotter if you like,” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There's a Reason.” Ever read the above letter?
