The Characteristic feature of fog, from
. meteorological point Of view, is slug

considerable radiation takes place. In
this way the surface Of the earth is

fog or clouds
Fogs are also formed over bodies Of
water which are relatively either cooler
or warmer than the air which is resting
above them, and Il Is this which is the
primary cause of the dense fogs which
have rendered the Banks of Newfound-
land notorious The actual formation
of fog over The Banks ID attributed 20

MAGIC LANTERN WONDERS

Microscopic Orgonlsms Enlarged and Ma0o
Visible.
s'The magic lantern was invented long
before the development Of photography
gave it . practical value, said IN expert
in sun pictures. Photography has dis
covered much more serious and impor>
tant use for the magic lantern. by its
aid the lecturer is able to show the most
beautiful photographs. magnified to big
dimensions, for the benefit of large au-
diences. In the same way maps are pro-
jectcd gigantically upon the screen
which would require great labor to
enlarge with accuracy. Magic lam
tern slides for such purposes are
made by photography in this
way: A glass negative is obtained
from an actual scene, photo
graph or other object, and from this
negative = photograph is taken on
glass This latter photograph is the
magic lantern slide-a positive. like IN
ordinary photograph. An interesting
and familiar application Of the magic
lantern is made BY revolving two glass
dishes with concentric painted patterns
in the lantern. working the two in OPP
posite weys BY . simple wheel con-
trivance, SO that the patterns are min
gled in beautiful kaleidoscope fashion.
hut more curious end useful is the
idea of placing living organisms within
double slides Of glass-inclosing water,
50 that the organisms in question arc
exhibited upon the screen alive actual
", for the study of the knowing and the
ignorant Even the growth Of crystals,
in process, is shown in . similar way,
though not less extraordinary is the
method practiced with the aid Of the
magic lantern of causing figures upon

The Tobacco Sensation.

The operations of the Reggie
agents in this section is the sensation
of the day. Farmers, warehouse.
men and buyers are all amazed and
can't understand their maneuvers.
The farmers and warehouse drum
mers in from the country yesterday
reported a clean sweep in all of the
country north of the l.. & N. r. r.,
and east of the GAINESVILLE and Hop,
kinsville pike-all but two crops
bought. This is perhaps an eXagger-
alton, but there is no doubt that
these buyers are getting great deal
f tobacco and will buy at leas
10, 600 hogsheads. Christian county
is pretty we'll cleaned up; two-thirds
of the Trigg county crop has been
bought and in Caldwell county they
are taking every crop as they go. j.
is reported that some of the Hop
kinsviIIe boys went to Caldwell
county, hoping to get good shipments,
leaving the others at home to guard
the town patches, and failing to find
but one crop unsold, they were de-
termined to have that and they
Clipped in and bought it at 7 cents
round. Nashville, it is thought, will
yet some fifteen or twenty hogshea -
from the Upper Cumberland, which
the Reggie fellows haven't found yet.
There is a good lot of it bought by
dealers and farmers, who will prize
it and take their chances for good
prices next summer that will come
TO GAINESVILLE, but there is no doubt
that our receipts will be reduced by
these operations.

of this goes to sustain the opinion

A Crowd of Negroes Mske War Against
Their Employer.

Lewis Martin is a Vinegar Bottom
negro who seems to have proclivity
for taking contracts and falling to
pay off his hands when the work is
completed. For this kind of work
it took the whole police force to save
his scalp yesterday evening from an
angry lot of men he had employed
and failed to pay. Lewis took a con-
tract for moving lot of tobacco at
the Elephant warehouse, and hired
hands at $1.00 per day to do the
work. The job was completed yes
t rday and he told his men he could
not pay them. He started to town
and the crowd, about fifteen in all,
followed him, wanting money or
blood. They got him cOrnered in
Dave Moore's barber shop, over the
Ice d Coal Co.'S. Office, and but for the
prompt action of the police force
would have handled him without
gloves. He compromised, however,
by paying the men twenty-five cents
each, but they all say that they have
"got it in for him." and the first
time they catch him outside the
Cooperation they will have his
scalp.
