PRICE 5 C ENTS •‘CURBSTONJS ECHOES/* Ceugfct on the Wing ^0 Sent Flying Through THE CONSTITUTION Two weeks ago the New York Star had a graphic description of the burning of the world by the fall* Ing Into the inn of tho comet of last year. It put the date of tliUdlraater ou August 27th, 1883. The description of children pautlog In the street and choking with heat, cattle dying In the Tparched fields, and everything blazing as the hot waves rolled on across the continent, was very realistic, I asked Dr. W. L. Jones, an accomplished scientist, what he thought of it “There Is not a particle of danger of the earth burning from the dropping of comets In the sun, Meteoric bodies are cona’auly falling Into the sun. Indeed the bat theory Is that the heat of the sun maintained by the falling of meteors into body." “I* it not possible that a very large body may generate too much heat." "Perhaps it might, but the nucleus comet Is very thin and of trilling weight. For example, a summer cloud almost Inappreciable weight floats between you and the sun. It obscures the sun's light. Thenu cleus of the last comet la estimated at 20,000 miles thickness, and yet it comes between you and a star, aud the light of the star is seen shining through It* body Is of such etberial matter that even star light will shine through 20,000 miles' thickness of It. So that a comet will hardly be of sufficient weight to do much damage." “fhe heat generated by a falling body, depends on the weight of that body?" **Oa the weight aud swiftness. Heat Is simply arrested motion. You strike an anvil rapidly with a hammer, and the hammer and anvil each become heated. You take a bag of feathera and beat the anvil quite aa rapidly, and little or no hcat.is gen erated, because of the lightness of the descending body. So If a dense body falls into the sun, motion is suddenly arrested, and heat Is developed, The falling of the light, fluffy body of a comet, much like beating an anvil with a bag of feathers, "do wo shall not burn up next year?" "It la generally believed that there Is much more danger of the earth freezing than of its burnlug. As tho meteorites ceaso to feed the sun Its heat will gradqaliy diminish, and tho prospect that In tbo remote future its heat will not bo sufll cieut to maintain life on the oarth. Another theory is that the earth may gradually bo drawn Into the sun. The space through which the earth circles about the sun Is filled with almost 1m palpable ether. This Impedes the eonne of. the earth and weakens its tangential force. As Its progress through the ether becomes at wer, tho aro of Its circle diminishes and It tends toward the central sun—Just as when you throw a stone the resistance of the atmosphere gradually shortens lu aro and It Is draws to the earth. But the daugcrof the earth either freezing or being drawn I., to tho sun In vory remote. The danger of its being burned by tho heat of a comet falling in the sun ii more than remote." Tho wliltosultof clothes worn by General Qor- dou and which looks odd, worn In the dead of winter, was given him in. England by Captain Mu) no Reid, the best known writer of boy's books that has lived in Ibe potf twouty yean. Tho au- tlioi i* living on a fsrrn of sixty acres In Hereford- j„s f»rm (a ».!« hobby aud gives handsome living. Itsohief product is wool, and the cloth of General -Gordon’s suit was grown on the back of Reid's sheep and woven at his own order for tho gallant ex-confederate. Captain Reid still has a fine income from hts books, though they have been largely supplanted by later works, llo walks on crutches, one of the old wounds he received in Mexico, having reopened and lamed him. The Rev. Sam Jones said to me yesterday: "You were misinformed as to the exact belief of the ho liness people in our-church. They do not differ in their belief from the body of the church. "What.!* the difference then between them and Bishop Fierce?" "The bishop believes in holiness Just as the rest of them do. But he says you must believe it, but not preach it. In a sermon on this subject he said a light-house ought toshlue, aud not shoot—that it needed a light to shed its influence over tho wators, but did not need a cannon to make a fuss with. That's exactly where he is mistaken. A light house does needacinnon, aud tho most of them have one. When the weather l« clear and the sea is calm, the silent light streaming on tho water will do. But when the ocean Is.befogged, and tho 1 ght is shut in by clouds, and the storm is raging, then the cannon is needed, and if tbo light-house keep er docs his duty the cannou is used. The dot trine of holiness Is the doctrine of our church. Young preachers subscribe to it solemnly when they are licensed to preach, and It Is within the reach of ev ery good man. We do not believe in maturity, but In purity. A man may bo above actual transgre* slon, but not above temptation. lie may be pure, bill not perfect. That's what the holiness people believe. And they believe that light-houses ought to shoot as well as shine I” General J. It. Lewis is Just back from Pullmau, the wonderfalclty near Chicago, built by George M. Pullman, and the seat of tho works of the vari- .oua Pullman companies. General Lewis Mid: "The story of that -city sounds like a romance- It is tho most Important experiment In city but d lag ever made. It is a model of a manu factnringcity—designed to produce tbe best results in work, health, beauty and comfort that can bo achieved by money, taste or invention. Mostcitlcs are built by a thousand different influences that work contrary wise, aud of impulses that cron and nullify each other. Here Isa city built by oue man and under one design. Every piece of dirt that is moved or every brick that is laid Is in harmony with tbe general plan. The result is simply mar velous." "fs Mr. Kimball incharge of the city?" , "Completely. He la the superintendent and rtf rector. There is no city government, no bond, no board, no commission. Mr. Pullman's word is law, and Kimball represents Pullman. If he should want to tear a house down, to repl* e it wi lt * totter one. down it goes. If he wants to l.iuid a library hall, or lay octa yark.or pave a street, be does it, of course consulting Mr. Pull man's wishes on the most important matters. He ora* with Mr. Pullman in business many years ago, and has his entire confidence." "b he pleased with his work!" "He is in love with it I never saw him *oenthu rfattic. He is Jnst now finishing the plans of 600 new houses that will be put op next year, asd they are models of beauty and comfort. He has stud ied every style of interior and exterior architecture and decoration. Tbe mew houses will nuke about twenty blocks." "How many Inhabitants has this city?" "Kea rly 10,000. fint every day there are two train loads of workmen who are employed at Pullman bat have no hemes there, going in and out of Chi- growl ng as rapidly as men can build It up. There is no ltck of money for any enterprise. Aa soon as the plaus of a new buildlug, or the designs of a new Industry are finished, a force of men is put to work aud It Is accomplished." "What has the city cost so far?" "It baa cost about t6.500.000. This represents much more than the same amount named, if spent by individuals. Everything is done with system. The brick for tho houses aro made in Pullman, last year over J8,000,000 of tbe finest brick being burned. Tne work for the houses is done by the company, aud blocks of houses are built at once. The sashes, blluds, furniture, etc., are made in the company's shops. There Is no profits to pay eon- tractois or outsiders and the result for tbe money is wonderful. You see every house that is built helps the general effect, and there is no money wasted in correcting errors." * "The company owns," added General Lewis, "6,500 acres of laud, which cost $800,000, and more outlying laud that the company controls. Tho main industry is the making of cars. The works turn out fifteen can per day besides keeping up and repairlug the 16,000 Pullman can now run ning. There are many other industries of course, such as; the making of paper car wheels,a union foundry that employs oi er 1,000 hands, (or making all forts of castings, the Pullman car wheel woiks, tho Spanish curled hair works, an Immense forge, huge Ice bouses, brick yards and many other indus tries. Tho hotels, stores, shops, theaters, are all managed by the employes of iheoompany. There are hundredsofearpenten, masons, stair builders, etc., kept busy all the time building new houses under the company's orders. In every enterprise the grounds Mr. Pullman owns a controlling In terest—so that everything from first to last is in hands, rbero is no municipal government, and no taxes. The company is also building lines railroad for freight and passengers through around the city and the Istke. The brick makers make brick in tho summer and cut ice in winter. 'In all of these Mr. Pullman insists on owning the controlling share, so that everything in the city is absolutely under his control." What do the women and children find to do?" He Ik providing for that now. He first had to get work for the skilled mechanics. He Is now provld Ing employment for their faml’lw. The fint thing built next ye&r will be a huge carpet factory that will employ several hundred women and chlldr- This will be followed by similar enterprises. You sco Mr. Pullman can command all tbo capital wants. Suppose a carpet factory Is going to cost $.'00,000, be takes $101 COO no as to keep control, aud tho balance Is at once taken by outsiders." Are tho mechanics' houses there bettor than elsewhere?" Incomparably, and with much cheaper rente, A block of workmen's houses is built on model plan, giving ventilation,convenience and elegance. Tho first cost of the ground aud tho building thou ascertained, and Just six per cent ou that amount is charg'd for rent. The result Is that from $12 to $1G a mechanic gets a home that, if could find clsowhero, would cost threo times much." •It there a library for the workmen?" •They nrejust finishing an arend e 160 feet long by 230 wide. In this Is a library of 10,000 volumes, elegantly appointed; a theater that is superb In finish and will scat l,2u0 people. In tho arcade are pictures, a school of design, and a school of me chanical arts for the education of mochanJcs and their children. There aro parks, public halls, churches, markets, gas-works, fountains, music plazas, promenades, and everything is free to the mechanics and their families. There is an artifi cial lake that is perfect in its beauty, with cement walls, its pnulte steps, etc. lit short," the i, Wmtm-iv say, posed to have au ideal mechanic’s life, where his wages will give him an Ideal homo, and where ho will have access to libraries, lectures, parks and in- ccntlvo to improve his condition."

Orros'a Expert- enoe U—A 8upjrb Dairy Farm-How Ea. sllaxs A|rtH With Cattle, Ece.,Bto. Does tho investment pay?" Certainly. The real estato and houses pay only six percent, but they pay more in the earnestness with which the men work and the superior grade of mechanics it enables Mr. Pullman to command, Tbe factories and * hops all pay, for they have every advantage of location, co operation, etc. One thlug that is admirable Is tho way In wblch everything made to serve Its purpoae. For lnstauce, there Is a tower two hundred leet high that drains the city. Beneath this is a huge vault into which the sewers are emptied dally. At night the great Cor- IDs engine Is put to work on the vault and the rich fircal matter is forced on to tho company farm, where vegetables, fruits and flowers are raked for the o-unpany’s store*. The company has a drove of AOOhogft, to wblch all the scavenger stuff of the city is fed." Nothing then is wasted?" Nothing—not even a throb of the great engine— everything is utilized in one way another. Every lick that is struck the shops, every load of dirt that moved U the supplement of a Hck struck or a clod moved somewhere else. There Is one mind that supervises all and everything is a part of ol« plan.' "The buildings aro handsome?" Unuially so. Every building is so designed that will bean ornament when thu city has 100,000 people, The hotel for instance Is finished inside as a Pullman sleeper. If a building is not massive, In-unique and elegant. Before the year Is over Pullman will be the great center for sightseers in tho west Mr. Kimball is the man of all others for his place, and bis matvellous taste aud executive ability are Just what are needed." Mr. Pullman pats his whole soul In his new town At a post of honor stands tho "Detroit," the first Pullman car ever built. His hotel is named /or his daughter Florence, and his wife selects the books for the Pullman library the carpets for the theater, churches, and hotel. He is going to erect a new building In Chacago for the headquarters of bis company there. It will be nine stories high, and tbe brick are to be made at Pullman, and much of the work done in the shops of that town.

Neil son, planter, of New Columbus. Lu e county, Mississippi, wss the only witness. He testified that irUfcC6. be wes the sob agent of Johnson, at New Uftbmbus, and twenty-five men were employed to guard the cotton there stored. He had been employed by C. A. Johnson, son of the defendant, and made weekly reports to Harri son Johnson. "The best way," said Mr. A. J. Orme, "to decide what a silo can do in Georgia is to ride out to my place, and sec what my pit is doing." Clearly that was the best. There were four of us that thought so—Evan Howell, Lod Hill, Mr. Orme aud the writer. Tho carriage was ordered-the sun canto out In fine style, and in a December air that had the balm of April, we started for tbe suburbs. There are few more important experiments than this one of onillage. With hay selling In Atlanta at $?7 a ton, and with land worth $5 an acre, on which 20 tom of forage can be raised, and butter worth forty cents per pound, the silo pit will be come a very important factor in our agriculture A silo pit is simply au excavation, air-tight, for the pi enervation of forage througn the winter. Grass, young corn* pea vines,any greeu stuff ou the farm, chopped and packed into the pit, is preserved into the wluter for cattle feed. It Is a huge Jar or cau, in which forage may be hermetically sealed and kept, as tomatoes or peas are carried out of season for our own table. Ensilage has been used In tli north for several years, aud has revolutionized cattle-keeping in many instances. "It is an exp?riment with me," Mr Ormo said, "but I am so well satisfied with what I have dono that I am going into it regularly. I have a dairy faim two miles from the city, and I have found the question of food for my cattle in the .winter a most serious item. I consider it out of the qu tlon for us to pay $27 a ton for hay. In curing o own forage we have many difficulties. Many of our boat grasses it la hard to cure. Any ruin that falls on them injures them, aud tho hay is apt to mould. With corn, our best forage crop, wo have great trouble with drought. The alio pit forestalls the drought, and ensures the preserration of the plant, without mould or spoiling." "What will you do next ysarf 1 *1 have a silo that will hold 206 tons of ensilage. To fill this I am going to. manure 7 acres very high ly by compoatiug tho droppings of my cattle, aud adding add phosphate. Iwlll put this In corn in drills for forage. 1 ought to get at least 20 tons to the acre by cuttlug it when it tassels and before any drought can touch It. I i*ay get 80 tons to the acre. Thero are reliable reports of from 20 to 40 tons per acre being made. I shall plant 11 other acres not highly manured in corn and peas. If ray 7 acres will not fill my silo I will fill it up from tho other acres. If I do nut netd to draw ou them I will let thocorn mature and turn the peas under. But I count on my acres of forego te fill my silo. Thu boat ensilage men think 20 tons of forage to the acre a fair estimate." "How does tblscoinpare with what you could do on tho ramo land.with hay?" "Two tons of ousllage is worth one ton of hay. I feed sixty pounds of ensilage per day to a cow, where 1 would feed thirty pounds of hay. Thu samo laud that would produce twenty tons of forage for etirilago would not produco ovci two tons of cured hay, or wiat would equal eight ton* J',. , of onsilage. Tho cmlluge system, it Is suid, more than doublet the feeding potfer of au acre." In hls ensilage report," said Mr. IIowcll, "Com missioner Loringrays experience has shown that thu land necessary to support three cow* with hay will suppott eight with ensilage." The thing summed up," raid Mr. Orme, "seems to bo about this: sides cemented smooth, Just as tho floor 1*. Then th ;ro will uot be a speck of mildew in the whole m i We will now see how the cattle eat it.' with a fork he deg out a half bushel of the ensl hgo and packed it into a basket.

The beat wo ean hope for in hay, if every thing goes right, is four tous to tho aero. By tho new plan they say we can get twenty tons of east- logo to the acre, and two tons of ensilage equals oao ton of hay. I believe, with my silo, I can feed my cattlo at about oue third of what It would cost otherwise, 'm going to try 1*. I will not allow my cows to graco in my fields at all next year. I will rely o feeding them in the stable, with ensilage. But as bavo said before, this is an experiment with mo as yet. Next summer I cun tell more about it. It has succeeded elsewhere admirably. I seo no reason why it should not succeed hero." A aurXR* DAIRY FABM By this time we had reach td il r. urate's farm. It Is by odds tbe best appointed Uim near the city and the work of Improvement Is still progressing. The wide gates opened automatically as we drove upto the house. T he yaid, embracing several tores of shade, grass, gravel and water, was enclosed with wire fence and held several hundred Plymouth Rock hens, with fine cocks here and there. To the left were the tarns, stables, corn houses and car riage houses. On the right was a sloping hill with tho orchard beyond. In front of us was the dairy and tho spring houses, while in tbe distance was tho fish pond. Mr. Orme understands thoroughly tbe value of hillside trenching and his land is al ready terraced beautifully. 'There Is my tllo," said he, pointing to an odd looking structure that crowned a hill near by. It is a very simple affair—simply a square pit ex cavated, floored with cement and walled up rock and mortar. A stout frame projected about two feet above the pit. The reason of this is that the enrilage sinks about one-tweutleth lnietUlog, aud In order to have your pit full you must pile the forage about two feet above tbe surface. Mr. Orme commenced so late la t year that he only filled his pit one-third full, so that we had to go down Into It under tbe guidance of Mr. Carpenter. hisaupc.intendent*'A4 we entered tho pit there was a pleasant odor perceptible that suggest ed a brewery. This came from some of the edges ol the ensilage that bad fermented slightly. At the rear end of the pit the ensilage had been taken out and tho cement floor was visible As we stood the floor we fronted a solid wall of peo-vines. Tbe vines were d«mp to the touch, and resembled the green vines about aa much ai canned corn re sembles fresh com, Now," said Mr. Carpenter, "when we finished our pit last summer we gathered about fifty tons of pea- vines and brought them here. Just above the pit we bed oar chopper,that cuts them Into bits a foot. As fast aa it waa cut we emptied it Into th» pit we had It all In we covered it with these planks, weighting them down with the old cement filled with rocks. Tbe mass settled a few and was practically air tight. When we wanted to use it in the winter, we took off one and dug oat the ensHege under that plank. We cut clear down, till we reached the floor. Then another plank and sltoed off another ■ectioo, and soon." You fcand It perfectly palatable?" •Certainly. It la es good ea when it waa pulled.
