Mr.. GEORGE S. PIDGEoN, has pub
lished a book in which he warns the
world of a dire calamity that will fol-
low the making of the proposed canal
letting the waters from the Mediter-
ranean into the desert of Sahara. He
contends that this will deposit upon
the great desert a weight of water
equal to 176 trillions of tons, taking
it from the seas and oceans all over
the globe; that this will disturb the
equilibrium of the earth and produce
great CONFUSION, changing its axis
and causing a food like that of Noah
time. He refers to the opinions OF
biologists and others that the axis OF
the earth has at least once in former
times been changed by variations Of
the earth's equilibrium, and may at a
distant day be changed again by the
slow natural processes ever going on
but that the proposed overflow of the
Sahara desert would precipitate it by
the work of man.

INTENSIVE FARMING.
Brunswick Herald.

The tendency in Georgia, at least
in many places, is to intensive Gull
ture-that is, to make as much as
possible off of each acre. 1t requires
no arithmetic to prove that man
who produces on twenty acres thirty
bales of cotton realizes nearly double
as much as he who produces thirty
bales from eighty acres. d. w. Per-
due bore off a prize for the largest
yield of cotton fortified with cotton
seed. His yield was 4,545 pounds OF
lint cotton to the acre and 5000
pounds of cotton seed. He claims
that his system of fertilizing has paid
him 100 per cent. on every dollar ex-
pended. Here are Mr. Perdue's fig
ures as to cost Of the prize cotton:
Cost of cultivating an acre of
ground, $3.50; fertilizing, $3.50;
picking, $3.50; ginning se.1S; total
cost per acre OF raising the crop, S47.
%. Sold 1916 pounds of lint cotton
at 8 cents per pound, s139O5, 5000
pounds of cotton seed, $500; total,
S15S.25. Net profit per acre, deduc-
ting all expenses, S110.27.
The intensive system Of farming
has long been in practice in China.
There the land is owned by the EN-
peror, and is rented by tho people.
The population is SO dense that every
acre has to support a large number
Of people, and man is considered
rich who has as much as six acres of
land to cultivate. Nothing is put in
the ground without abundant Etertili-
zing.

Lawyers make grave mistakes viii

Lawyers make grave mistakes while
arguing their cases before the Jury
when instead of sticking to the law
and the facts, they pour upon the
heads of witnesses, lawyers and par
ties on the opposite side, a TRADE OF
abuse and criticism. The day now is
when the men who sit in jury boxes
are intelligent and can discriminate
between sound arguments and bonn
bast illusions. Legitimate criticism
is all right, and there are occasions
when it should be used, but person
al abuse and harsh comment should
be sparingly INDUCED in. It's poor
lawyer who can find nothing to speak
about except the witnesses and attor.

A MEAN TRICK.

Tom Bently had been paying his
addresses for some time past to one
of the bellies of San Antonio. She
had not given him the slightest en-
couragement, and he was about to
commit suicide, when she threw him
into a spasm of delight by asking him
if he would do her the favor of giving
her his photograph. He happened
to have one with him, and he begged
her to accept it, saying that it was
the happiest moment of his life, etc.
AS soon as he was gone, the young
lady called her servant, and giving
her the photograph, said:
"Whenever anybody comes to the
door who looks like that, tell him I'm
not at home. "-,Sittings.

AN ANGRY JUDGE.

The late Chief Justice Bigelow, of
Massachusetts, was naturally hot tenn
pered, but on one occasion was
brought to his bearings in way as
effective as it was amusing. He was
riding in car which did not stop at
Quincy, where he resided, and, as it
was passing by, he pulled the rope
and the train was brought to a sud-
den stop. The conductor rushed
into the car and demanded, "Who
rang that bell?" 81 did," said the
Chief Justice. "Why?" Because
wanted to get off," at which the rail
road official INDUCED in some re-
marks which were not compliment
airy and hardly respectful The Judge
atterward complained to The president
of the road, who promised to look
into the matter. But he found that,
although the conductor might have
used hot language, the Chief Justice
was not without fault and said moth
ing about it. When they next met,
by chance, the latter demanded Of
the president whether he had repri-
manded the conductor. 81 spoke to
him." was the reply. "Well, what
did he say" Gle said that he was
coming up some day to adjourn your
court" The irate magistrate saw the
point and did not pursue the investi-

A GIRL WITH TWO TONGUES.

A strange freak of nature has just
been discovered in Cleveland, Ohio.
Frederick Grunwaid, a Swiss, resides
at No. 535 st. Clair street with his
wife and two children. Albertina, the
youngest, 2 years old, has two ton
CUES. The second tongue has grown
from the root and on top of the first.
The mother first noticed it when the
child was 3 days old. The second
tongue was then quite small, lalt now
it is nearly as large as the reai ton
que. The anterior part of the upper
tongue looks natural, but the poste-
rior part is CONSTRUCTED and round,
giving the unnatural growth a pear
shape The child has never expert
enced any difficulty in swallowing its
food or in breathing, looks natural
in every other way, and has always
been healthy. The family has been
in America two and a half years, and
in this city three weeks.

A Troy Institute student, in re-
turning from visit to an island on
Lake Champlain, says the Troy
Times, strapped his baggage to hand
sled and a pair of skates to his feet
and skated twenty-eight miles to
make railroad connections, preferring
this mode of travel to mountainous
drive of fourteen miles. His journey
on the ice was made in four hours,
less time than if he had travelled in a
vehicle.

DIVORCED FROM THE WRONG WOMAN

In August, 1880, Beecher Stevens,
of Oswego, N. Y, met a handsome
young woman on train near Buffalo.
Both were going to Lockport and
both had taken the wrong train.
They got into conversation, and when
they had returned to Buffalo to get
the right train were mutually fasci-
mated. When they reached Lock
port Mr.. Stevens escorted the young
woman to her home. He carried
away with him card on which was
written Lydia F. Davy." On Oct.
IL following Mr.. Stevens was sur
prised to see the young woman enter
his place of business. She cried and
said that her mother had forbidden
her to write to him any more under
pain of dismissal from home. She
had taken the alternative and come
to him.
They were married that evening.
In December, 1881, quarrel arose
between them and she showed her
husband a certificate of former mar
riage with George H. Davy. 1t was
dated early in 1880. A separation
followed. The confessed bigamist left
her husband and he has not, he says,
seen her since. He found, however,
that she met her former husband in
this city after she left him, and that
they went from her to Auburn,
where they lived for some time. He
also ascertained that she had still an
other husband before she met Davy,
Charles Burnett, of Ithaca, to whom
she was married in that village, in
1878. Her maiden name, he found,
was Lydia Fanny Creque. She was
twenty-six years old. With this evil
dence Stevens sued for a divorce,
which was granted a week ago.
During his hunt for evidence
against her Steven traced his wife, it
is said, to house in Auburn; that
the papers in the divorce case were
served on her. She said she was not
the person named in the papers, after
she had read them, and acting on the
advice of friends paid no attention to
the matter. She is now out with a
statement that she cannot be the
woman. She is only nineteen years
old, while the woman who was Stew
ems wife is twenty-six. She was
married in Ithaca, but to Charles
Brown and not to Charles Burnett.
A cousin of Mrs. Stevens was
shown a picture of Nina Brown,
while testifying at the trial of the
divorce case, swore that it was a pic
ture of the woman who was married
to Stevens. An uncle of Stevens
wife would not be positive that the
picture was of his neice, but Stevens
himself swore that it was photo
graph of the woman he had married.
On this testimony the divorce was
granted.
Now, however, it has been proved
beyond any doubt that Nina Brown
is not Mrs. Stevens and never was
Mrs. Davy, Mrs. Burnett or Ida
Fanny Creque, and Beecher Stevens
has been divorced from the wrong
woman.

A WONDERFUL FOUNTAIN OF FIRE,
Chicago Herald. J

anu
At Thone creek near Oil City, is a
wonderful fountain of fire. A well
throwing out 5000 barrels of oil dali
ly is burning and every gallon of this
oil is consumed in the fire. So great
is the force with which the oil leaves
the well that the fame can not get
nearer than ten feet from the ground
From the mouth of the well to the
point where the fame begins the
amber colored fluids forms a solid
straight column, six inches in dame
ter, and shining like FURNISHED gold.
At the height of 100 feet the column is
probably not over five feet in dame
ter, but at 200 feet it spreaps out into
cloud of overhanging fame, from
which fiery streams extend earthward
like the dropping branches from will
low. The ELECTS indescribably grand.
Several unsuccessful attempts have
been made to extinguish the flames

A MONEY MAKING WOMAN.


The failure of John J. Cisco & Son.
New York bankers, has again brought
prominently before the public Mrs.
b, Ii. Green, who is reported to be
the richest woman in America. It
was the determination of Mrs. Green
to Withdraw portion of the very
large amount that she had on depos-
it in the Cisco Bank that caused it to
suspend. She is the largest creditor
Of the bank, and while she may lose
few thousand dollars of her depos-
its, her securities, amounting to S26.-
100000, which were in the bank
vault, are safe.
Mrs. Green is marvelously shrewd
financier. She manages her own af-
fairs, and thus far has managed them
successfully. There are very few
men in Wall street who are as we'll
acquainted with the value of the diff
terent kinds of securities dealt in
there as she is. She is credited with
having engineered more than one
corner in stocks, and to have gotten
the better on many occasions of the
ablest of the Wall street chaps.
She is the daughter of New Bed
ford whaler named johnson, who
died a few years ago, leaving her
about S5,000,000. That sum would
seem to be sufficient to satisfy the de-
SlreS of any woman, but it did not, it
s. ms, satisfy Mrs. Green. She be-
gao at once to speculate, and, through
either her luck or shrewdness, accu-
mulated money rapidly. Those who
know the most of her financial trans
actions say that she was never known
to make mistake in her business
affairs. She could not have made
many mistakes of serious character.
If she had she could not have accu-
INFLATED the vast fortune of which
she is now mistress.
She is credited with being very
penurious. AS an instance of this
Characteristic, it is stated that on one
occasion she alighted in front of the
Cisco banking house from public
conveyance, with a great bundle in
her arms, and entered the bank. The
bundle proved to be 100000 worth
of securities. The banker, Cisco,
asked why she did not take private
carriage instaed of trusting herself
with so mary valuable securities in
an omnibus. She replied that Mr..
Cisco might be able to afford carri-
age, but that she was not.
Her thrift is apparent in every way
that it is possible for it to show itself.
In her home life she is very econom-
ical. She doesn't seek to have the
best of everything. 1t is said that
she has been known to walk to a So
cial gathering when the streets were
hardly fit for woman to be abroad,
rather than to pay for a carriage. 1t
is related that on one occasion when
there was contest between two fac
tons for the control of a great rail
road property in which she had
large amount of stock, instead of vo-
ting her shares at the election for of
ficers, she sold her proxies to one of
the parties. OF course she had
right to do this, but the incident
nevertheless, shows, if true, that she
never lets an opportunity pass to turn
an honest penny.
What does this woman intend to do
with her vast wealth? 1t may be
that she has never given this ques-
ton serious consideration. Her pleas
ure is to make money, not to spend
it. Those to whom she leaves it will
take pleasure probably in spending
it.
