To say that fellow Jumps like Sam
Patch" is a very proper expression. Sam
Patch sprung into notoriety about sixty
years ago-to be exact, in October, 1872
when he made his famous leap at Niagara
Falls. This extraordinary (at that time)
leap was one of 20 feet, from a rock into
the waters below. Patch made his second
leap the same year, Oct. II, also at Niagara,
not from the bluff but from scaffold
built for that purpose at the foot Of the
Biddle staircase. This staircase was erect
ed in the year iSSa, and was named for a
rich Philadelphian by the name Of Nicholas
Biddlc, who had contributed large sum
of money to further the novel enterprise.
The shaft is nearly 50 feet high, the
stairs spiral, winding from top to bottom.
Near the foot of these stairs at the waters
edge, Mr.. Samuel Patch set up ladder
100 feet high, from which he leaped into
the water below. Patch's next adventure
was Mt Genesee Falls, n. Y, where he made
leap Nov. 9, 1929 A week later he made
fatal plunge at the Genesee Falls, which
are within the city limits of Rochester

A recent French writer on 1.-THE Revolu
ton, the Empire, and the Restoration,
cites an amusing instance of what he calls
heroic courtesy
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine with
him marquis, one of the most valiant sol
diers of the army OF Condo
Wishing to honor his guest and the cause
which he served, that o%the French king.
he ordered his butler to bring him bottle
of fine wine-one hundred years old-"a
ray of sun shut in crystal"
He opened it carefully nad offered a glass
to the marquis, saying: If you deem i;
worthy the honor, will you drink in, this
wine the health of the king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
How do you like itY' asked the host.
Exquisite" replied th4 marquis.
Then" said Lord Beverly, finish the
glass; only in full glass can one drink
the health of so great and so unfortunate a
king"
The marquis did as he was hidden with
out hesitation; only when the Englishman
tasted the wine did he learn that what he
had forced on his guest was castor oil; and
thenceforth he held the politeness of the
French toward the English in the highest
esteem

island of Dominica lying in the n euntains
behind Roseau, and in the val tys sur
Aundng it are many solfataras, or vol

lake is little better than a crater filed with
scalding water, constantly fed by mountain
streams and Though which the pcnt up
gases find vent ant,e-ss elected. The tenn
pCrature of the water on the margins of
the lake ranges from $50 20 100 dogs. Fair

Where this active 8ction takes place the
water is said to rise two, three or even four
feet above the general surface level of the
lake, the cone often dividing so that the

legion in number.

They Are Pushing Out for the Post.
Holiday Trsde Now.
Savannah's small army of drummers will
soon be out on the road again. Every one
of them came home to spend Christmas, as
they knew it was no use to try and sell
goods then. and they had no objections tc
cele rating little themselves.
They are going back in their territory
again now. A number went out Sunday
night, and a 60 many more Yesterday
morning and last light. They will con-
tinue to go out every day from now on, and
BY Jan Is they will all be out, and Sa-
vaunah's commercial tourists will then be
scattered hundreds Of miles apart through
out Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South
Carolina
Some people might be surp Used to know
that Savannah has between 800 d AGO
drummers representing the various whole
sale houses Of the city, and that their num-
Der is nearer the latter figure that the
former. Every business house of any i'm
portance has from two TO six men on the
road and some OF them more than that in a
busy season.
There are 3S5 drummers in Savannah

"What particular lines of goods do the

"All lines. The groceryuen are out at

TIE BELT LIN e.
Work on the Barnard Street Branch
Begun

Begun.
Work commenced yesterday upon ths
Barnard street line Of the Savannah Street
Railway Company, and 100 feet Of track
were laid. The work commeaosd on the
south side of Liberty street, and the track
was laid out Barnard street.
II was intended to commence the work
on Anderson street and lay the line into the
city, but the spikes for the rails intended
! for that portion OF the line have have not
arrived yet, although the rails are on hand
For similar reason the work could not
be commsnced on Bay street. 50
the south side Of Libsrty was
selected as the starting point. and the first
yesterday morning. Rapid progress was
made. however. and by night rails had been
laid to the corner OF Charlton. Supt Saussy
said last night that the work will be
pushed rapidly forward, and he expe ted to
complete the line within thrse or four
weeks. He said that the new Ii Q can be
laid in much shorter time than it took to
tear up The same length of old line and
ut 1t up with electrical apparatus
he said the only Nsificult por-
tons of the WORK would be
at the crossings Of the asphalt pavements of
Liberty, Broughton and Congress streets.
and on the paved portion of Barnard street,
and on the east side Of the market. The
underground wires are being laid with the
rails, and it will require but a short while
to string the overhead wires, all the poles
being in position.
The Thomson-Hous system Of wiring is
being used, and the cars for the line will
probably be ST H." also.
Supt. Saus said that IL has been found
that It would be necessary TO run ten cars
on the Belt line to give the schedule desired
by the company, and tina: the two additioa nal
cars viii be added as soon as they can be
secured.
Supt. Saussy gave some very important
information, which is OF great interest 10
the people Of Savannah. With regard to
the intentions of the Savannah Street Rail-
way Company, as soon as the Barn
ard street line was completed
the work OF double-trackl z a great por-
ton OF the Belt Line would be begun. Double
tracks viii be laid along Habersham, East
Broad and Bay to Lincoln, West Broad to
Liberty aud out Montgomery. The double
tracks will do away with the switches
on those streets and obviate the frequent
necessity OF cars waiting at switches for the
cars approaching from the opposite direc-
ton. The superintendent said that it is the
intention of the company TO perfect its
electric railway sytem until it is sec md to
none in the country. When the Barnard
street line is completed, the BELT" double
tracked, the City and Suburban railway
converted iuto an electric line, the Elec-
trio Railway Company's line from the
market to the southeastern portion of the
city built, the Vernon Park railway and
Jne other electric lines now in process of
organization built, and some Of them viii
be, Savannah will DO the electric cityn
really and truly. Changes come rapidly.
and year henos may see some in progress
which would appear almost chimerical
now.
