Nickel aluminum is the latest
metal. Its color resembles silver,
and it is far more ductile than
steel. A bar 18 incnes iong and 113
•16 inches by 1-4 meh thick had
a permanent set of 1 1-8 inches It
took 400 pounds to deflect the met
al that much. A similar piece of
steel 66,000 pounds tensile strength
took exactly the same load.
“Pick” Hunter, a colored boy,
called out loudly :"Came seven
come eleven!’’and went into a
game of craps at Hardin, Ky„with
only one dime. On not getting the
desired throw he dropped dead.
The other boys |pushed him t side,
thinking he was only drunk, but
they soon discovered their mis
take. ■
No, Maud, dear, tbe man that
committed suicide in Chattanooga,
was not a Roman, He was an av
erage Atlanta man who,
| whiie drunk, let 48 hours slip by
without bragging on the coming
exposition. There are some things

One of the gr< atest living author
ties on earthquakes, Professor John
Milne, of the Japanese Imperial Uni
versity, in a recent article in the
Seism obgical Magazine, July, says
that the results of experiments aid
investigation on a possible connec
tion between earthquakes and mag
netic and electric phenomena do not
allow us to admit any such connec
tion. Il is not likely that earthquakes
ever result from electric disturbances,
and it has not )et been proved that
they ever give rise to any such,
though when large masses of reck
ere displaced, as in Japan in 1891,
slight local changes in magnetic
curves have resulted.
The Albany Herald tells this
story: A case that is puzzling the
d ,ctors is reported from Oglehorpe
county in this State. A negro boy
had a bullet shot into his brain
last i hauksgiviug Day. The pul
sation of the braiu can be distinct
ly seen iu the hole m ide by thefaul
let. The boy has worked uearly all
the year on the farm and says his
memory and braiu power are as
good as ever, also that he has nev
er felt the slightest pain from the
wound. Brickbats and bullets have
no terrors for the utorgia Negro,
wheu they strike him ou the head.
Hon. Felix Corput, of Floyd,
who has loi g been prominently
connected with the Georgia Al
liance , has tendered his resigna
tion as chairman of the finance
committee of tbe organization.
Uapt. Corput assigns a reason for
withdrawing that the financial af
fairs of the Alliance are in such
a condition that it will require a
great deal of the time of the com
mittee to put them upon a sound
basis, and his private business
will not permit him to continue on
the committee. It is pretty gener
ally understood, however, that the
Alliance is on its last legs, and
Mr. Corput is smart enough to
know when to get out. —Montgom
