THE SUNS ECLIPSE.
The Great Astronomical Event of the
Year to Occur Dec. %,

The most important astronomical
month is total eclipse of the
sun on the 21st-22d, not visible in
this latitude This is the second
total eclipse of the year, a very rare
occurrence, for, although they occur occa-
sionally within twelve months of each other
it is very seldom that two total eclipses
happen in the same calendar year, and il
will not again occur until the year POST.
The total eclipse is important because ii
affords a chance to study the solar corona,
and as the last eclipse considerably modified
the views Of scientists in relation to the
constitution of the envelopes encircling the
sun, it is especially important to test
these new hypothesis by still more exact
observations, and as there is no other total
eclipse of the sun for period of four years.
it is all the more important to make the
most of this one. Cayenne, the most favor
able point OF land for observation on this
side of the Atlantic, has a duration of
totality of one minute and forty-seven
seconds at about sunrise. At st. Paul de
Loando. Africa, where the Pensacola took

THE NEW PHI ARMAOY LAWS.
Amendments of Importance Passed

| amendments of Importance Passed

Hereafter applicants for pharmacy IL
cenSes will have TO undergo strict examina-

That is, those who cannot show diplomas
from some regularly chartered school of
pharmacy, will be subjected to examina-

Deem connected with pharmacy or drug
store any length of time, but unless he
undergoes the prescribed examination, he
cannot secure license as an authorized

without making it a special study. than a
lawyer Is to practice medicine.
This amendment is one of great import
ance to the profession" said DR.. Theo.
Scnumann of Atlanta when questioned
about the effect of the new law upon the
granting of license. Formerly, if a man
could prove that he had served ten years in
drug store, without saying what the
capacity of his employment, he was Just as
much entitled to a license as one who had
taken course and received his diploma at
regular institute of pharmacy. Then
doctors, who didn't know common bark
from rhubarb. were, in the eye of the law.
competent chemists
Another important change is in the clause
relative to adulterated drugs. Heretofore
1t has been necessary TO prove the actual
victim of the adulteration. Now it is mis-
demeanor for a pharmacist to have in his
possession, anywhere in his store, drugs that
have been weakened or adulterated. If the
board should suspect house of handling
drugs that had been tempered with, it can,
on purchasing through a decoy channel,
samples of the suspected article, convict the
sellers. This amendment will go far toward
doing away with adulterated drugs, as it
makes proof of the cheat comparatively
easy"
The amendments to the pharmacy laws
were due to the efforts Of the state phar-
maceutic board aud the Georgia Pharma-
ceutlcal Society. Several other minor
changes were made, but tn oSe mentioned
are OF greatest interest.

How She Was Taken Up by Col, South
mayd and Others in New Orleans.
From the Louisville (Ky) Times.
Colonel Fred R. Southmayd, of New
Orleans, famous throughout the Mississippi
valley in connection with every yellow
fever epidemic within the past quarter of a
century, has been in Louisville for several
days on business, his first visit to this CITY
in twenty-seven years. Col Southmayd is
one of the best known and most picturesque
figures in the south. He is an old man
now, but retains all the energy and activity
of youth, both in mind and body. He
walks erect, with a soldierly bearing that
is his by right, for he lost his right arm in
the confederate service; wears a gray
beard, slouch hat and great coat. and
has a bluff and impetuous manner that
shows the man of will. But beneath it all
is heart that beats for all humanity and
an unselfishness that has been tried and not
found wanting
Col Southmayd was manager of the
Democrat newspaper in New Orleans when
Mary Anderson made her first appearance
there, unknown and unnoticed. He was
