spend hours of every day sitting In groups

ATLANTA'S OILY WATER.
Fish and Birds Dying in the CONTAIN
mated Reservoir.

mated Reservoir.
ATLANTA, GA, July 12.-Oil from the
burned mills covers the entire surface of
the reservoir, in some places to the depth of
three inches, and the water situation is
growing serious. Fish are dying, and the
lake emits great stencil from putrid mat
ter floating on the water. Efforts are
being made to remove the fish as fast as
they die, and the oil mill men are doing
what they can to recover part of the oil.
Fears are entertained that the filters will
become clogged. Even the filtered water
is full of grease and unfit for use. The
lake looks like a great pool of gummy
green.
DEAD BIRDS AND INSECTS.
Insects in great numbers and even birds
have been found floating there dead and
fast decaying. The fish jump through the
thick scum all day long for mouthfuls of
fresh air, exhausting themselves in the
effort and falling back to die. So far no
cases of poisoning are reported among the
people, but unless they avoid the poisonous
water from which the city draws its chief
water supply, violent sickness Is sure to
break out.

In this state.
Title TO n tract Of land will remain
undlsputed until II begins TO nc
quire exceptional value. Then some-
body comes forward with the dis
covery that all is not regular, tho
matter Ia carried to the general land
office, and II tho land Is OF moro than
ordinary value, the title II likely to
pass rs shuttlecock between the
rival claimants, according to the
fancy or tho caprice Of some cranky
commissioner like Sparks, who has
so completely retired TO the shades
of private life.
But individual hardshipis not the
worst feature Of this tendency To
looseness Of titles. The confidence
OF investors and capitalists Ia shaken,
and the man with sound title to
his land finds that he Is confronted,
when he seeks to sell his property,
or borrow money on IL, with an air
OF uncertainty and mistrust that
adds nothing to the value Of his
land.
In this important decision the in
terior department has taken long
step toward establishing land values
in tho West. 1t will check the ten
dency In the direction Of shaking
titles, be the means OF shutting Off
endless litigation, and establish n
healthier tone In the money market.
