Of Interest to Seamen.
The government tug Foster played
havoc yesterday with the Savannah
Electric Company's big cable at the
foot of Barnard street, connecting the
lighting system of Hutchinson’s Island
with the city. The Foster got her
wheel entangled with the cable, which
was torn from its place and the con
nection with the island broken. Like
a huge serpent the cable was drag
ged down stream.
The Foster was around the foot of
Barnard street, arriving there after
another vessel had preceded her. and
it is thought, raised the cable from
its bed. Then the Foster came along
and caught it in her wheel, carried it
along down the river after tearing it
from its island connection. With some
600 feet of the cable in her wheel she
steamed along, and did not discover
she had it until the wheel got ugly at
Rourke's foundry. The Foster sheered
to the dock, and an examination show
ed she had the electric company’s
cable. It was untangled after some
trouble, and later returned to the
owners, being delivered at the foot of
Barnard street. It was returned to
Its place later.
The electric company was not put
out any by the loss of Its cable, for
it has others along the river, conven
ient to rely upon in case of such an
emergency. There is one at the foot
of Bull street. The companies owning
cables have signs along the river not
to anchor around the cables, but de
spite the precaution used they are at
times torn away.

voyage over on his last passage to Sa
vannah. He came via Femandina,
■where a part cargo of phosphate rock
was taken on. The Voorburg is at the
Seaboard Air Line terminals, where
she will load cotton and other cargo

Physical Side of Literature.
From the London Graphic.
Apropos of the sadly early death of
M. Gaston Larroumet, a French con
temporary raises the question whether
there Is anything in the nature of lit
erary pursuits that makes against lon
gevity. The answer is, of course, that
essentially there is nothing, but that
accidentally there may be a great deal.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Cures
Colds on Nature’s Plan.
The most successful medicines are
those that aid nature. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It
aids expectoration, relieves the lungs,
opens the secretions and aids nature
in restoring the system to a healthy
condition. It not only relieves, it cures
the cold effectually and permanently
and is unquestionably the most suc
cessful medicine in use for this pur
pose. It is pleasant to take and con
tains no opium or other harmful drug.
For sale by all druggists.
That the actual worry of composition
wears out the frame prematurely is
more than the facts warrant any one
in saying. In every age and in every
country literature has been well rep
resented by hale and hearty veterans.
Legouve, Mommsen, Tolstoy, Tenny
son, Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and George Meredith are the most ob
vious names on a list that every read
er will be able to supplement. So long
as it is possible to compile such a list
without even stopping to think, the
most bitter enemies of literature can
hardly class it with unhealthy trades.
Poets, dramatists and novelists seem
on the average to live longer than mil
lionaires and insurance oflices have no
reason to refuse their premiums.
LOVITT ACQUITTED.
Mnrder Trial Concluded After Fif
teen Years.
Tifton, Ga„ Nov. 28.—At the ad
journed term of Worth Superior Court
this week, the case against Dr. A. T.
Ford, for the killing of his cousin, Hon.
W. J. Ford, on which a trial was ex
pected. was continued
Fletcher Lovitt was tried for the
murder of his cousin, Columbus Lovitt,
fifteen years ago. In a difficulty over
a settlement of a few cents. Lovitt
stabbed his relative in the breast, from
the effects of which he died several
days later. The case dragged through
the courts for fifteen years, and re
sulted In a verdict of acquittal.
IllarkMhenr Notes.
Blackshear, (!a„ Nov. 28.—A special

Moore, Miss Ezell, Mrs. Pome
roy. Dr. Williams and Mr. Wil
kinson was the feature of the Thanks
giving service here at the Presbyte
rian Church.
The severe cold last night will put
an end to a further increase in the cot
ton crop. Doubtless the cold will
cause a good many matured bolls to
open so that there will yet be a good
picking to be added to the crop al
ready gathered. Farmers throughout
this section generally are in luck this
season, in that they yet have the great
bulk of their cotton.
COCK FIGHTING IN CAROLINA.
Big Main Palled OR Near RooU Hill
on Thanksgiving.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28.—The call
ing out of a company of militia to pre
vent a widely advertised bull fight and
cocking main at Rock Hill a year ago
by Gov. Mc-Sweeney seems to have had
little effect on the sporting fraternity
of that section. Yesterday several hun
dred men and boys from York county
and Charlotte gathered at Thomas
son's cockpit, about two miles from
Rook Hill, where the celebrated bull
light was to have taken place. Ail day
and all night qock fighting proceeded
uninterruptedly. The event of the day
was a main bout between nine birds
owned by Charlotte parties and a like
number by York county sports for $l5O,
which was won by the North Carolini
ans.
The remainder of the day and night
was spent in single fights, all of the
betting being done on the side.
Thomasson’s cock pit is located with
in a half mile of the Catawba Bap
tist Church, and is said to be the most
open and boasted cock-fighting arena
in South Carolina. Thomasson’s large
family connection in that neighborhood
is given as a reason for non-interfer
ence by the authorities of this unlaw
ful sport.
RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE.
Mnn Ilentlng it Hoy Willi it Gan Gels
a Load of Shot.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28.—Ed. Gam
brell, a prominent farmer living near
Honoa Path, met with an accident yes
terday which will probably result In
his death. While out hunting with a
party of his neighbors, Clifton Lollis, a
12-year-old youth, also a member of
the party, accidentally shot one of
Gambrell’s doss. This angered Gam
brel!, who began beating the boy with
the butt of his gun. In some way the
weapon was discharged, the entire load
of shot passing through his left hand
and into his left breast, just above the
heart. Those who witnessed the af
fair attach no blame to the boy.

McNALLY
ON THE DEAD GAME SPORT.
By LAWRENCE PORCHER HEXT.
“I seen Mike Daily’s lad to-day,” said
Pat; "he’s quite a sport—
Ye’d think he was a millionaire, or
somethin’ av th’ sort.”
“I seen him, too,” responded Mack,
“he's such a howlin’ swell
I fear he spinds th’ bosse's cash, an’
all his own, as well.
"Ye would not think, to look at hint,
an’ see him sport that way,
His income was a cint below tin dol
lys ivry day;
But I’ve been told, be wan who knows,
an’ who feels free to speak,
Mike Daly’s Dan is on th’ roll f’r only
tin a week.
"I heerd him boast, th’ other day, about
th’ clothes he wears.
He has more suits than he could earn
be workln’ thirty years;
He has a suit f'r ivry meal, an’ on his
meagre pay,
I was amazed whin he declared he
eats five times a day.
"His shirts all button down th’ front—
he has thim tailor-made—
He has four dozens pairs av socks, av
ivry tint an’ shade;
An’ whin he talks about his gloves an’
ties an’ hats an’ shoes,
Ye wonder if they all are his —if not all
his, thin whose?
"But, do ye mind th* rigs he drives?
Th’ finest things on wheels;
'Twould be a shame f'r him to walk,
he don’t know how It feels;
He’s quite a king amongst th’ girls,
he's sich a nice young man—
Th’ nayberhood sersiety is all wrapped
uip in Dan.
"He makes u,p all th' parties; wit’ his
large supply av cash,
It Is not strange they make av him
th’ lad to cut th’ dash.
He leads th’ sports in Daly’s ward—
they think he’s somethin’ great—
I ’spose they love him so, becoz he al
ways pays th’ freight.
"They tell me that he sometimes drinks;
they say he loves champagne;
’Tis said he often shakes th’ dice to
give th’ gamblers gain,
An’ if be some strange freak av chance
it falls his luck to win,
His sportin’ blood takes hold av him
an’ blows his winnin’s in.
"I wonder how his father feels, to
watch his sportin’ son;
I wonder if it puzzles him to think av
how it’s done;
I wonder if he’s been th’ man to take
th’ lad to task?
They seems to be some quistlons that
Mike Daly ought to ask.
"It seems to me, th’ lad's too free wit’
other people’s cash:
He’s stole his way into a crowd that
makes him cut a dash;
His hands is passin’ money that he
should have left alone;
He should not be familiar wit’ a cint
that's not his own.”
“Well,” said O’Flynn, let’s give him
time; perhaps he’ll change his
ways;
He’ll find that sportin’ life is not th’
kind av life that pays.”
“If time Is phwat he needs,” said
Mack, “I have me awful fears
That from some court of Justice he’ll
be given twinty years.”
ABOUT LIQUID AIR.
In 1899 Dr. A. Campbell White, in the
Vanderbilt Clinic, made experiments
with liquid air in the treatment of
cancers, ulcers, eczem’a, etc., and be
came so enthusiastic that surgeons and
physicians all over the world were in
clined to regard him as a hopeless fa
natic. They have since changed their
opinion. Dr. White claims the coined
word, “radaerotherapy,” indicating a
combination of the X-ray and liquid air
treatments. The difficulty of obtaining
a regular supply of liquid air retarded
his experiments for years; but to-day
that difficulty Is removed. He used to
get a day’s supply at a time and keep
it in a tin can, and lt would all evapor
ate in a day, whether used or not.
Prof. Dewar of London Invented a glass
bulb in which a gallon can be kept for
three weeks. The difficulties of appli
cation h’ave almost entirely disappear
ed, and "radaerotherapy” promises
soon to become as common a practice
as cauterization.
To appreciate what liquid air is you
must consider that seventy-two parts
of nitrogen, twenty-eight parts of oxy
gen and about % of 1 per cent, of car
bonic acid gas, constituting the air we
breathe, are reduced to a temperature
of 312 degrees below zero, is it possible
to conceive of a substance 400 degrees
colder than the human body? It is
opal-colored, and when filtered re
sembles the atmosphere on a clear day.
The flaked hand can be immersed in
it without injury If it is immediately
withdrawn. The same hand can be
soused into a ladle of boiling iron with
out so much as scorching the skin if it
is at once taken out. The liquid air
feels dry and cold, and leaves no mois
ture on the hand.
Liquid air is not explosive unless
hermetically sealed. It flan be carried
about In a milk bottle or tomato can,
so long as there is a hole In the top. If
poured in the palm of the hand it pro
duces a sort of tingling or electric sen
sation. When a cupful is thrown on
the floor lt behaves Just as water does
when poured on a red-hot stove, siz
zling, sputtering and suddenly disap
pearing in vapor, leaving no evidence
behind. When put into an open vessel
it boils very rapidly until the tempera
ture of the container is so reduced that
its outside is covered with ice. To
touch this coating with the hand causes
frostbite. A lighted match dropped in
to the fresh liquid is instantly extin
guished, but if dropped after a brief
exposure it burns brilliantly and com
bustion is perfect. A lighted cigarette
is burned Instantly. A piece of steel, If
heated white hot and plunged In,
flashes into beautiful scintillations of
light and is consumed.
Liquid air will transform any liquid
or ether to the solid state. It will
freeze alcohol solid, when the alcohol
will explode violently if ignited. The
end of 'a rabbit’s ear being frozen solid
with it was broken off without pain or
hemorrhage; in less than ten minuses
the circulation was perfectly restored
and the wound began to bleed. When
sprayed on your skin the latter at once
becomes dead and colorless. In less
than a minute the part is frozen as
hard as ice, but the circulation returns
in a few minutes without the slightest
injury to the tissues. There is no pain
in the application. Surgeons who an
esthetize with liquid air can operate
without the interference of so much as
a drop of blood.
Dr. White saved a boy’s hand with
liquid air. A cartridge had exploded
in the pttJm, making a nasty wound. At
first the liquid was applied too freely,
for lt froze the wound so solid that
the scalpel could not penetrate It. Aft
er waiting about thirty seconds the
operation was satisfactorily performed
without hemorrhage or pain. When
the boy returned in a few days the
wound was In perfect condition, and it
continued to improve till well.

Shifting Sands of Peru.
From Harper’s Magazine.
Ernest C. Rost tells of the curious
traveling sand crescents of Peru,
which move across the desert. “After
passing another ‘town’ of three or four
mud huts we enter the famous desert
of Islay, on which are what I consider
the most remarkable natural curiosi
ties to be seen on this globe,” says
Mr. Rost, “for we are now among
hundreds —nay, thousands —of pure
white sand crescents, on a plateau 4,500
feet above the level of the sea and
fifty-four miles from the coast, where
all else is of dark red or chocolate
color. Whence comes this sand, and
why always in a crescent shape? Prof.
Bailey, Whom I afterward met at Are
quipa, in charge of the Harvard Uni
versity observatory, told me that sci
entific men do not agree as to the
reason why the sand always forms
the same crescent shape, although it
is generally believed that the whirling
eddies hereabout are responsible. Some,
however, argue that such Is not the
case, since each one of the crescents
has an opening toward the northeast.
At any rate, the Inner circle is an
almost perpendicular wall of the finest
pure white sand, and from - the upper
edges the crescents slope gradually
■away on the outside. They average
about twenty feet in hight, the inner
circle having a diameter of some fifty
feet, although I have seen one at least
a mile and a half in diameter, which
was, however, not much higher than
the average. These crescents move, it
is estimated, at the rate of three inches
every twenty-four hours, and when,
on the slow journey, one comes near
the railroad, it becomes necessary to
shovel the sand across the tracks, aft
er which it travels on, forming new
crescents or mingling with some of
the others/’
