HEAVY GRAIN CROPS

From the Macon, Ca, Telegraph, March Is.
Undoubtedly there viii be a heavy dimi-
mutton in the cotton area planted this
spring. One Of the correspondents of the
Agricultural Bureau tells US that he shall
report for Twiggs county diminution Of
from a quarter to a third. Nearly all the
planters in that county report One-third in
cotton and twO-thirdS in grain, instead of
vice versa, which was the almost universal
condition there last year. a heavy acre
age in small grain is also universal. and it
is reported to he very promising. Oats will
be abundant in Georgia by May, and we
trust that September will show the State
once more Independent Of Western corn
supplies and on the economical turnpike to
prosperous fortunes again. And we shall
not he greatly surprised if planters find
when haryests are all gathered that though
they have plenty of grain the cotton pro-
duct is not greatly short Of last year. Given
a favorable year and the falling off is not
going TO be stupendous.

A BOLD CHALLENGE.
George Treat Offers TO Rum Thad
stevens Against Any Other Horse
i'm the World for $4,000.

George treat VHers 10 nun Ah"H
stevens Against Any Other Horse
i'm the World for $4,000.
From the San Francisco Chronicle, March 3.
There has been more or less talk in
horse circles since the late four-mile-
and-repeat running race at the Ocean
View Park for $50, 900, in regard to the
merits of the horses engaged IN that
exciting contest. Some parties have
contended that Joe Daniels was the
best horse IN the race, while others are
of the opinion that True Blue could
have beaten both Thad Stevens and
Daniels If he had not met with the I'M
fortunate accident which has probably
crippled him for life. Old Thad's
friends, notwithstanding all that has
been said In praise of other horses,
think he Is still the best horse IN the
country, and among them none are
more sanguine of this than George
Treat, his owner. As an evidence Of
his belief in the old favorite, he author
lied Chronicle reporter yesterday to
make the following challenge to the
world:
Mr.. Treat Will match his horse Thad
Stevens against any other horse, mare
or gelding in the United States or the
world, a race of four miles and repeat,
to rule, for $4,000 In gold coin.
Mr.. Treat also throws out the follow
ing banter: He viii match horse Of
his for 5000 against S25 900, trat he
Will beat the best recorded time ever
made in the United States by any run
ming horse, to rule, from one mile to
four miles. The parties accepting tins
proposition can name the race to be
run.
The fastest mile that has ever been
recorded was made by Alarm, three
year old, with ninety pounds up, at
Saratoga, July II, 1872, in 1:424. The
fastest two miles ever made was by
True Blue, as a four-year old, packing
los pounds, at Saratoga, in 1873, the
the time being 1927. Norfolk has the
best three-mile record. He ran at
Sacramento on Sept. %, 1866, as a four
year old, carrying 100 pounds, in 5:27&
and 5:29a. All hOrsemen will recOUect
the fastest four-mile time. 1t was made
at New Orleans, April 2, 1855, by Lex
ington, against time. He was four
years old, and ran with LOB pounds up,
IN 7:194.

WHY THE RED SEA Is CALLED
RED.

A question that has puzzled scholars
found a solution, some time since, In
the observation Of an American subma-
rine diver. Smiths "Bible Dictionary"
discusses learnedly the name of the
Red Sea. The Dictionary" surmises
that the name was derived from the
red western mountains, red coral ZOO
phites, etc, and appears to give little
weight to the real and natural reason
which came under our American notice.
On one occasion the diver observed,
while under sea, that the curious wav-
ering shadows, which cross the lustrous,
golden floor, like Frauenhofer's lines on
the spectrum, began to change and lose
themselves. A purple glory of inter-
mingled colors darkened the violent
curtains of the sea-chambers, redening
all glints and tinges with an angry fire.
Instead of that lustrous, golden frma-
ment, the thallasphere darkened to
crimson and opal. The walls grew
purple, the floor as red as bloud; the
deep itself was purpled with the venous
hue of deoxidized life-currents. The
view on the surface was even more
magnificent. The sea at first assumed
the light, tawny, or yellowish red of
sherry wine. Anon, the wine-colOr
grew indistinct with richer radiance,
as far as the eye could see, and flashing
in the crystalline splendor of the Ara
bian sun, was glorious as the sea OF
rose. The dusky red sandstone hills,
with border of white sand, and green
and lowered foliage, like an deliberately
wrought cup of Bohemian glass en-
ameled with brilliant flowers, held the
sparkling liquid petals of that rosy sea.
The surface, on examination, proved
to be covered with a thin brick-dust
layer of infusoria, slightly tinged with
orange. Placed on awhiteglass bottle,
this changed into deep violet, but the
wide surface of the external sea was of
that magnificent and brilliant rose
color. twas a new and pleasingexam-
pie to the lustrOus, ever-varying beauty
of the ocean world. 1t was caused by
diatomacea, minute alge, which under
the microscope revealed delicatethre
gathered in tiny bundles, and contain
ing rings, blood disks, of that curious
coloring matter In tiny tubes.

MURDER OF THE TNNOcENTs

Professor Chandler, in a recent lecture in
New FORK on Health and Health Laws,
makes the following statements:
The lecturer, then went into a cOmpre-
hensive explanation of the duration of hu-
man life, and the causes leading TO the pre-
mature cessation Of life through the want
of a proper supply of air and water. Even
under the most favorable circumstances the
organism wears out. If it is well used it
should last, on a average, three score and
ten years, but it does not. DR.. Playfair
as shown in the statistics Of Liverpool,
found in the case Of the gentry-the best
fed. clothed and hOused-that the average
duration Of life was fOrty-three years; in
The case of the tradesmen. nineteen wears;
and labOreTs, sixteen, the average being
only twenty years. That is, the human
organism is so poorly protected against
causes of death that it averages TO sustain
itself only twenty years. In studying
sanitary questions, one Of the first points is
to get at the facts. and for this reason what
are called vital statistics are carefully col
lected, calculated and studied, in order to
ascertain the facts connected with death
and disease.
In 1872 the number of deaths in New
York was over $1,000 in a population Of
100000, or, as it is technically spoken Of,
81 per cent. in the thousand. IL is import
ant 20 know how this death rate is distri-
bUted among the ages, as it is the first point
in determining how TO prevent death, and
we find 90 our horror that nearly One-half
the deaths are of children less than five
years old, showing that the causes leading
to this great death rate are dependent not
so much on the action of persons themselves
as Of those who should care for them. Be
tween the ages Of five and twenty l25 per
cent. more die, so that before reaching man
hood 62 per cent. of our population dies.
For the remaining period it is distributed
more equally: from twenty 20 twenty-five
about ) per cent; from twenty-five to thirty,
> per cent; from thirty to thirty-five, about
3 per cent; from thiIty-five to forty, a little
over per cent; from forty to fOrty-hve, a
little less than per cent; fcrty-five to fifty,
3per cent; from fifty to fifty-five, the per-
centage is %; from fifty-five TO sixty, p;
from sixty to seventy, about 2; and from
seventy to seventy-five, a little over per
cent Then the number falls off. In fact,
all but . per cent. die before they reachfhe
age of three score and ten. While the NOR
tally in New York is % in 1000, we have
reason to believe that under favorable cir
cumstanees the inevitable mortality should
not be more than II in 1000; that the NOR
tally is nearly double what it might be if
everything we could do were done to di-
minish it.

And did you ever think what an analogy
there was between the sunlight Of the

CLEANS into the darkened chamber OF

beautiful are the golden beams that break

peaceful and happy are the blissful words
of hope and cheer that touch the heart and
