AnInvention for windmilis.

Windmills are very ancient invention.
bnt are not of much practical value in a
country where fuel is cheap, from the eX
treme irrcgularity of the wind upon which
they depend. 1t is hoped that a remedy
for this defect has been found by the Due
de Fcltro in the transformation Of the
surplus energy of windy weather 10y caus
ing it to drive a dynamo, thus converting
it into electricity. with which he charges
batteries of strong cells. These in turn
can be utilized to drive the machinery in
time of calm. Any such plan is, of course,
attended by large waste of power, but
when The original quantity is so enormous
rs it is i'm gale of wind. waste is IA matter
of very little moment. Before the world
is many generations older more attention
will be given 10 the question of yoking the
great forces Of nature TO our machinery
and utilizing the enormous energy of the
winds, waves and tides. not 10 mention
water power and the direct radiation from
the sun. Our store Of available coal will
doubtless last for many a long day to come
but we ought not TO forget that we are a
race of spcndthrifts, living on our capital
and that We must not miss any OppOrtun-
ily of economizing the limited resources
of our estate

Tho Monkey as a Scientist.

From the American Naturalist.
In the interesting little 1900" connected with
the National museum at Washington there is fine
male grivet monkey, who shares large cage with
four opossums. 10 human beings he shows hlmsel
anything but amiHble but he takes kindly TO his
strange companions, and they have been the best
friends from the first. The attention Of the attend
ant YVES lately drawn to the cage by the excitement
Of crowd in front of it, and OH going to ascertain
the cause he surprised to see the monkey seated
in the middle Of the cage with one of the opossums
lying quietly on her back on his lap and her head
under his arms. The monkey had just discovered
the marsupial pouch of the opossum and was dill
gently investigating ii. Had he not been close
observer it certainly would have remained unseen,
for 1t was so tightly closed as 10 be perfectly nys
ible in its normal condition. The monkey carefully
lifted the outer wall of the pouch and peered into
the cavity. Then he reached in with his hand, felt
about for moment, and TO the asonshment Of
everybody took out a tiny young opOssun, about
two inches long, hairless, blind, and very helpless,
but alive and Kicking Jock" held 1t up TO the
light where he could get good view Of IT., scrui.

turned II TO the pouch very carefully. After repac-
ing 1t he looked into the pouch again and presently
drew out another for examination which he looked
at with solemn interest," smet 1t, and then carefully
put II back. II was thus IL became known 10 the
attendants that the old female Opos5um had the

T1nierprising Cartersyille,

Mr.. George A. Patlo, OF Cartersville, was
in Atlanta Monday, ana we asked him what
Gainesville was doing with the various enter
prises they were agitating there short time
ago. lie gave us some good news and we re-
peat what he said TO let the world know that
the people of Barlow are wide awake. He
said:
eve are moving along quietly. A syndicate
of Alabama and Georgia capitalists met in
Cartersyille few days since and oonsummated
an arrangement with the citizens OF Carriers
Vile by which they agree to erect at once two
furnaces. One pig iron furnace Of so tons
daily capacity; one ferro manganese furnace
Of 20 tons daily capacity, together with atten-
dant plant for dephosphorising both iron and
manganese ores, The consideration on the
part OF Gainesville is donation Of twenty
i've acres OF land and twenty-five thousand
dollars i'll cash, which amount has already
been subscribed by the citizens of Cartersyilie.
The twenty-five acres of land has been select
ed and an engineer corps will go on it this
week to survey and arrange for side tracks,et
"The location of the above mentioned two
furnaces is but the beginning OF numerous
other industries, as well as other and larger
furnaces. A rolling mill, and then nail works
will follow the furnaces.
"Real estate, though advancing rapidly from
the great stimulus given by the assurance Of
finances, is still within reach of all who may
take advantage OF present prices, but can't be
kept at the low figures long. North Georgia
win now wake up and divide with Alabama
features of iron and steel direct from the
ores, which have so long lay hidden in its
mountains. Atlanta will also begin very soon
to manufacture all kinds Of hardware tools,
etc. In fact, the whole state viii feel the
good effects OF the iron industry, once it Ia
fairly inaugurated."
This is certainly very good news for our
state. Our people let Alabama get ahead OF
them by quietly submitting to it on the iron
interest. There can DO no question about the
fact that we have the best iron and manganese
ore in Georgia that can be found in America,
and it is not surprising that capitalist are COM
ing here to work it. The healthy climate
around Cartersville is great advantage also.
Let the good work proceed. ii you want ia
get in on the ground floor on real estate in
Barlow, now Is the time to invest. after
awhile you will have to crawl in on the third
story, If you get in at all. Land is beginning
to stiifen in prices and there is not as much OF
1t for sale as there was once. y GU will be iit

locate in Gainesville.

A Great Triumvirate.

LONDON, July 30.--Wiliam Randall Cramer,
NJ. p, who has just returned from Paris,
says that the published reports of the arbitra-
ton speech of Goblet, French minister of for
eign affairs, were incorrect.
Mr.. Cramer was taken to the French foreign
office by several members of chamber, in
Guiding Ives. Guriet, Frederick, Pursey,
Baradt, Seigfreidt. Lyonais and Matadt. He
explained to Goblet the proceedings of the
English arbitration deputation which went
to America, and said the deputation had
found in the United States a strong feeling in
favor of Franco-Amcrican treaty. NJ.
Goblet expressed himself as deeply in
terested in the subject. He said it
would give the government pleasure to
enter into such a treaty. but the peculiar posi-
ton in which France was now placed made it
difficult for him to take the initiative step in
the matter.
One hundred and twenty deputies signed a
peace memorial. A meeting of French depu-
ties and members of parliament have been
arranged for October ODD, to stimulate public
opinion in favor of French English and
American arbitration. The meeting will be
held in Paris. Clemenceau supports the
movement,
