and Columbus radroad; from Chattanooga to Carr llton, Ga ,
and being rapidly extended, pusses along the eastern poitionof
the entire length of this land.
A steam dummy line starts from the city proper and passes
through the property in such away as to bring most of it w ith
in easy reach tor homes and industrial purposes. Upon land
donaced from this tract, the Rome Iron Company is erecting an
80-ton coke iron furnace, under contract to be finished bv No

On the west side of Rome, reached by another dummy
fest for Milk.
The following test for watered milk is
simplicity itself. A well polished knit
ting needle is dipped into a deep vessel
of milk and immediately withdrawn in
an upright position. If the sample is
pure some of the fluid will hang to the
needle, but if water has been added to
the milk even in small proportions the
fluid will not adhere to the needle.—
American Market and Critical Buyer.
Carrying Oil.
A cargo may consist of several quali
ties of oil. and these are separated from
each other by narrow water spaces.
Some two years ago a sailing vessel was
built by the Barrow Shipbuilding com
pany to the order of an Antwerp firm.
She was designed to carry petroleum in
bulk in competition with the steamers.
The success attendant upon this new de
parture may lead to the more extensive
construction of vessels of a similar nat
ure. Petroleum vessels cannot be used
for any other purpose on account of their
peculiar arrangement and smell. A pro
posal to carry palm oil in a similar man
ner has been found impracticable on ac
count of the corrosive ingredients which
attack the steel instead of preserving it,
as petroleum does.
Apropos to this departure in British
shipbuilding it is stated that the Per
sians as far back as 1760 were known to
carry petroleum in bulk in their own
vessels on the Caspian. Petroleum car
riers are generally fitted with electric
light, so as to insure a minimum of risk
from fire. With every precaution that
modern science can suggest the carriage
of this oil is beset with much difficulty
and danger.—Chambers’ Journal.
Revolvers in Sight.
The policemen of Savannah carry re
volvers strapped to their belts in plain
sight. They are armed with short clubs
as well. They cannot unlimber their
shooting irons any quicker than a New
York policeman, who usually carries his
in his hip pocket, can do it; but with
most of the offenders the sight of a
weapon in itself has a salutary effect on
many of them.—New York Sun.
There is no department of British mer
cantile industry which has developed
with such marvelous rapidity as the pe.
troleum trade. Since its beginning in
1359, when the total importations were
about 2,000,000 gallons, it has increased
by leaps and bounds until, in 1889, the
amount brought into the U nited King
dom reached the total of 102,647,478
gallons.
The first crematorium in the United
States was erected at Washington, Pa.,
by Dr. F. J. Lo Moine at a cost of $1,600.
The first body to be cremated was that
of Baron de Palm, Dec. 6, 1876. The
time occupied in reducing the body to
ashes was two hours and ten minutes.
Macaulay was 48 when he issued the
first and second volumes of his “History
of England,” and the third and fourth
did not appear until he was 55. Good as
are the essays of his early manhood they
pale when compared with the work of
his maturer years.
W. Clark Russell, whose sea stories
have such remarkable dash, breeziness
and out of door freedom, has long been
a hopelees and well nigh helpless invalid,
chained to an indoor existence in an in
land town. |
The Bible of the Buddhists.
The bible of the sect is not without
beauty and high moral as well as poetic
conceptions. There is much in it of the
nature of mythology and mysticism,
which Buddhists do not pretend to un
derstand themselves, yet there is much
to admire. From a book of extracts and
translations from the Buddhist bible I
give a few examples:
“The perfect man is like the lily, un
soiled by the mud in which it grows.”
Another: “The perfect man will not be
angry with him who brings him evil re
ports of himself, lest he be not able to
judge truthfully of the matter whereof
he is accused.” Its moral code contains
such rules as “Do not steal;” “Do not
lie;” “Do not kill;” “Do not be a drunk
ard;” “Do not to another what you
would not wish done to yourself.”
From these examples it may be observed
how nearly their moral law runs parallel
with our own; and that this has exerted
a potent influence in forming the Chi
nese character is evident. Also, that
they cover the cardinal rules of right
living in good society none will question.
The system offers motives in the way
of rewards for right living and punish
ments of evil doing. It develops symp
athy, the source of many virtues. It
teaches the equality of all men. One
man is better or worse than another
only as he observes the laws of good so
ciety or breaks them. —W. G. Banton in
Popular Science.
All Mall Matter Is Counted.
Persons who read the reports of the
number of pieces of mail matter handled
at the New York postoffice may have
wondered how the figures were obtained.
The explanation is simple: Every piece
was actually counted. Every employer
who stamps mail matter must keep an
accurate account of the number of pieces
he handles and must make a daily report
of the amount of work he has done. He
must not only give the grand total, but
tell what part was in each of the four
classes of mail matter, and also how the
pieces reached the postoffice.
The - letters, etc., are mailed at the
postoffice, in which case they are known
as “drops,” collected by carriers, arrive
by trains, or, in the case of foreign
matter, are brought by steamers. A
report must be made of every piece
that comes in by any one of these ways.
When one considers that an average
of about 600,000 letters alone reach the
general postoffice here every day, it will
be seen that the task of counting them
is a big one. Let a person count 1,000
and then try to get some idea of the
labor involved in keeping a record of
1,000 times that many, and his head will
swim at tho thought. As the counting
is done by a number of men, and the
letters are subdivided into batches, the
labor is not so enormous as might at
first be supposed.—New York Tribune.
Mnltipolar Low Speed Motors.
The principal elevator builders in New
York are adopting the multipolar low
speed motor for the operation of the
pumps of hydraulic elevators. Some of
these low speed machines are being con
nected direct to the screw shaft of pas
senger elevators, while some are belted to
power elevators in the ordinary manner.
The motors are equipped with self oiling
bearings and with self feeding carbon
brushes, by which all the trouble some
times experienced by attendants unfa
miliar with motors is obviated.— New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Who rules in this town ?
Depends on the question up.
The lamp-chimney ques
tion—what sort do you break ?
Whatever sort your dealer
deals in.
How, do you think, he
selects his chimneys ?
He buys those that cost him
least; he can get the regular
price for them; and the faster
they break the more he sells.
That’s how he reasons.
Tell him you want Mac
beth’s “pearl top” or “pearl
glass,” tough glass, transpar
ent, clear, not foggy, fine, of
right shape and uniform. Tell
him you’ll pay him a nickel
more a piece, and that will
cover his extra costs twice
over. Tell him you don’t pro
pose to break any more. Try
your hand at ruling.
