Brick Structures Taking the Place OF
Wooden Ones.
WAYoRoss, GA, Feb. 15.-There has
been building boom in Waycross for sew
eral years, which has been steadily incress-
ing. For a long time wooden buildings
were substituted for brick. The character
of those fer residences has been improving
steadily, many of which would be a credit
to any city. Most of the wooden business
houses have been torn away within the last
two years, and brick buildings have taken
their places. At present there is a steady
building boom.
The Hon. ]. L Sweat, Lemuel johnson
and Warren Lott have formed joint stock
company and have made arrangements
for the erection, at an early
date, of a large brick structure
three stories high. to be built
on the block between the school building
and the passenger depot. The building will
contain six stores and sixty rooms for hotel
purposes.
F. G. Owens of Savannah has purchased
the lot upon which the late Grand Central
hotel stood for $500 and has given q
contract to Messrs. Rowbotham and Muir
ply for the erection of large hotel. The
capacity of the building viii be about
thirty rooms for guests on the upper story
and eight stores on ths first floor.

great discoveries in physiology usually last
about four years. / do not think so badly

Psychologists say: Science, gentlemen,

then 30 run I'D the tree of physiological ag-
Mysticism, and there his agnosticism is more
modest. for then he will not deny what he
does not know, and will believe in q con.
seriousness he cannot demonstrate. He must
believe in it or reason himself out of the
universe. l can find no reason for believing
in double consciousness until know what
the relation is between sensations and brain
impression and the consciousness.
The theorists must first find me this miss
ing link before l will revise my philosophy.
The link between my conscious self and all
the actions of brain matter is needful to an
explanation OF the phenomena of hypnot-
ism.

ence can always awake his subject Some
times an amateur gets fiurried and, being
doubtful of himself, communicates the
doubts to his subject, and then the only
thing for him to do Is to go away, out of
the room, stop his efforts, and the subject
will awaken soon. There are few cases

CAPTAIN GILBERT C. wILTsE.

After the ship has left Standpoint and Is
approaching her destination the duty on
board will increase but then Jack does
not care for that; his mind Is excited, and
in his eagerneSs to see the enemy be will
forget the extra strain on his daily exist
enee. When off duty the men will grave
" discuss the situation. give various opin-
ions on the different ways in which it
would be best 10 tackle the enemy, and in
variably arrive at the conclusion that the
latter some way OF other is sure to have
the worst Of ii, for he can have no chance
against Jack on his own vessel.
The Boston is not q cruiser OF the latest
type; she, the Dolphin, the Atlanta and
Chicago formed the nucleus of Uncle
Sans new navy. Consequently she has no
resi- military mast armed with rapid firing
guns, but is like most of the old wooden
cruisers, brig rugged, and carries about
81, 600 square feet of sail Her sails do not
help her much, however, for with al her
canvas spread and her machinery disabled
she would not be able TO make more than
four miles an hour, while her actual speed
derived from steam power Is l55S knots
Before appearing on rne scene or action =
good deal Of her rigging will be taken
down and her masts, as far as possible, dis
mounted and stored away. Most OF her
lifebosts will be taken from their dRvits
and placed above deck or stored where
they cannot interfere with the aiming o.
her guns and the maneuvers Of her crew.
In olden times captains usually sank their
lifeboats before going into action, but this
is not done any longer, except in cases
where there is no room on board.

Doctor,ng the WIG Animals.

Hospitals for cats and dogs are quite
common in the large cities, and many
feline and canine pet has been successfully
nursed through severe illness by the ex-
pert doctors who spend their time in study
ing animal diseases. With the exception
of wounds and injuries, the great majority
of the complaints which the pets suffer
from come as a direct result Of too high
living. Sweets, cake, candy and highly
seasoned food will in the course of time
make even the dumb brutes sick, and the
animal doctors frequently find that all
their patients need are little physic and
plain living. Two weeks of such common
treatment generally restores the pets to
health and strength again.
But Of late years the importations to
this country of wild animals for circuses,
menageries and exhibitions of various
kinds have been so large that there has
sprung up regular system Of doctoring
for wild animals Their complaints gen
orally are very few. At first they are
homesick after leaving their forest jun
giles, and they pine away in their cages IN
less they are carefully watched. The wilder
and fercer ones refuse to be consoled, and
they often injure themselves in their frantic
efforts to break through their iron cage.
Then the heat, change Of climate and food
and occasionally old age, bring on com
plants that must be checked by expert
physicians.-New York Epoch.

large number of machine guns on every
warship ahoat. All that can and must be
done is to kill as many as possible of the
crew, disable the vessel or, better still, sink
her.
When a vessel carries torpedoes the serv-
ice on board becomes more complicated,
as in this case night attacks will be often
attempted for the purpose of destroying as
many vessels as possible of the enemy's
feet. The latest improved torpedoes, how
ever, have only range of 500 yards, and
consequently make it necessary for the at
lacking vessel TO approach the enemy at
such close quarters that even musketry
fire becomes effective, not to speak of the
havoc of machine guns. Only dark nights
are chosen for such attacks. All lights are
extinguished on board, and after the posi-
ton of the enemy has been ascertained the
attacking vessel steams slowly up to her.
No noise must be made, and every word of
command is therefore givenfn a subdued
voice until the vessel has come within the
proper torpedo range. Once the death
dealing missile is fired the position of the
attacking vessel, of course, is revealed to
the enemy, who in turn responds with a
hail of she'll and bullets. 1t is in such mo-
ments that Jack is placed on his mettle
and is obliged to keep cool, for confusion,
dangerous as it is in daytime, becomes
doubly so during the night.
Regarding the wounded it may be said
that whenever there are several surgeons
one will attend to them on deck, while
the rest, comparatively safe in the cockpit,
will perform their duty there. The men
who have to carry the wounded have no
less dangerous duty to perform than those
who are combatants. They are quite as
much exposed to the deadly fire on deck
without having the satisfaction of taking
active part in it or returning shot for shot.
