The Savannah News regards Macon a
the coming banner inland city OF Geor.
gia, and in support OF Its prediction
quotes some interesting figures. Five
years ago the population Of Macon, In.
Guiding Vinevi!le and East Macon, wac
about IL, 1000; to-day It 10 claimed to be
35, 600, an incresse of more than 100 per
cent. The railroad facilities have been
doubled In the last two years, and with
1000 miles Of railroad, reaching perhaps
1000, 900 people, her business throughout
the greater part Of Georgia and in Part OF
Alabama and Florida has been very
greatly increased, amounting in 1889 to
about t35, 000. 600. With the increase Of
population dwellings have multiplied,
and many new man uiactories have sprung
UP. Macon has an unbroken record Ia
point Of health. THIS is certainly an en-
couraging showing.

At this the colored man stepped to the

from his surprise he received another

SIGNING THE SCALE.

How the Cambria Iron Company Overcame
Certain Soruples.
Pittsburgh Chronicle. Monday.
There appears to be an important rea-
son why the great Cambria Iron Com
pany has leased all its coke ovens and
coke properties to MIR. Isaac Taylor, for
mealy Superintendent of that department
in their works.
1t is well-known fact among working
men that the Cambria Iron Company has
for years adhered strictly to the policy of
refusing to sign any scale with any organ
ization of workingmen. To sign the coke
workers scale, therefore, would be vio-
lation to this policy.
The coke workers would operate in no
mines nor charge any ovens unless a
scale was signed beforehand by their en-
ployers. Therefore it was with the Com
pany either aquestion of close down or
slngn the scale. To run the works known
separately as Wheeler and Morrcll with
with non-union men was out of the ques-
ton, and the situation when coke was
needed was desperate one.
. Therefore," said coke man, "it be-
came necessary to do something, Mr..
Taylor was trusted by the firm and a
lease of the property was made to him.
He can sign scale"

Thinning ApuIea.

The following advantages are given by
successful orchardist of thinning the
apples on heavy bearing trees while the
fruit is small: ~ You get rid of the knot
ty and wormy apples before they have
grown long enough to occupy the places
of better ones. (2) You thus destroy, be-
fore they can increase, the insects in such
as are stung by the curculio and infested
by the codling worm. (S) The best ones
being left, they have plenty of room to
grow into large, fine, salable specimens.
(D You are not obliged to gather twice
as many small ones, the labor of picking
depending ON number and not on size.
t5) The bad ones are removed in time at
less than half the labor required for hand
picking when they become large. 90
You avoid much labor in asserting the
gathered crop and in separating the
scabby and knurly from the best fruit.
"a The moderate crop which is allowed
to grow will exhaust the trees less than
the heavy crop of poor and seedy speci-
mems. He thinks that to allow all the
poor and worthless apples to grow is
like the practice of the farmer who
would permit all coarse weeds to grow
in his corn, to be assorted from his grain
after harvesting. Country Gentleman.

ChIcagO's AIIllionaires.

Down TO the present time Chicago's
citizens have been occupied in acquiring
wealth. There has been time for its en-
joyment ad interim, but enjoyment has
not been prime motive There are the
Pullmans and the Farwells, the Fields,
the McCormicks and others who have
long been able to throw aside the cares
OF business and devote themselves exclu-
sively to pleasure, but they have not
done SO. Marshall Field and the Far
wells still manage the two greatest dry
goods houses in the west. George NJ.
Pullman is at the head of the mammoth
Pullman Car company. There is Sec
ond generation of McCormicks, but the
click of machinery still goes on monoto-
nously in the reaper factory. When will
these people initiate their brethren in
New York, and leaving their counting
rooms, give themselves entirely to lead
ing the pleasure gatherings of the fash
ionable people of their city, Selected.

The well known experiment of max
ing sounds by holding tube over a jet
of buring gas usually hydrogen) is often
omitted in chemistry classes because no
suitable tubing is at hand. A fact not
noted in any text book have seen, and
unknown to all teachers that have con-
suited, has been brought to light in my
classes, viz. a bottle will serve in place
of "a tube. A philosophers candle"
properly burning will yield fine sound
if capped by wide mouthed bottle, as
quinine bottle or large test tube. OF
course, this is according to the principles
of acoustics, but it seems strange thatno
text book gives it. Ishould like to know
if this fact is known to any one else.-

Rescue Her Child.
By the explosion of lamp in the cabin
of the canal boat A. A.Chandler, lying at the
foot of West Sixtieth street, New York.
early on Sunday morning, Dennis Daily,
three years old, the son of Captain Patrick
Daily, was burned to death. and Captain
Daily, his wife Ellen and two other chill
dren were so severely burned that they
had to be taken to the hospital. An as
trail oil lamp was suspended from the CEN
tire of the cabin and about half an hour
before midnight this exploded, scattering
the burning oil over the sleeping inmates
and setting the cabin on fire.
Mrs. Daily screamed and then picked
up two of her children and pushed them
Though the window to the deck of the
canal boat Pratt, which came along side
to render assistance. Two other boys
were saved in the same manner. Captain
Daily was awakened just in time to save
his life.
In the excitement Mrs. Daily forgot all
about her youngest boy, Dennis. She
heroically rushed back and found him in
his bunk, and when she carried him on
deck he was.still alive, but almost bur ned
to crisp. Several canal boatmen put
out the fire and notified the Roosevelt
hospital authorities. The boy Dennis
died few hours afterward. The other
two boys are badly burned, and the two
girls were also injured.
