WHY Not the Death Pensltv7

The penalty in this state for the
crime OF robbing with violence is
not less than four nor more than
twenty years. Ths men who robbed the
express car at Collier recently and those
who robbed the express car near this city a
week ago last Friday night, cannot be given
ssverer sentence than twenty years in the
penitentiary.
But would not a law making the robbing
of passengers on railway trains and the rob-
bing Of express and mail cars punishable
with death have the effect Of preventing
this crimel And why should not the
punishment be deatbi The willful
and malicious burning Of
dwelling house In town Is punishable with
death. The reason is that the burning Of
the house. endangers human life. Those
who rob railway trains, express and mail
cars do so with the determination Of taking
human life If they are resisted, and it not
infrequently happens that they do take
human life. Aud those who do not do SO
are prepared to do so. They are all armed,
not Only for the purpose OF defending them
selves IL attacked, but. also, 70 force com
pliance with their wishes.
Let the legislature give this suggestion
some attention. By amending the law as
suggested robberies in this state Of the kind
under consideration may be checked. They
have only just begun, and il they can be
stopped by the death penalty the legislature
ought not to hesitate to make the crime
punishable with that penalty.
1t is true the penalty is O severe one, but
then the crime is very serious one, and is
becoming altogether of too frequent occur
renee. Many men will join In an attempt
to rob an express car. knowing that, if
caught. they can only be imprisoned, who
would not have the courage TO commit snch
crime If the penalty was death. Let
| Georgia be the 6rst state TO take an aggres-
sive stand against train robbers.

edison Defines Ampere and Volt.

The following question was put to
Thomas A. Edison by John S. Wise in
recent lawsuit in which Mr.. Edison
gives a pretty clear definition of the
words "ampere" and volt" which are
much used about this time:
Explain what is meant by the
number of volts in IN electric cur
rentP"
Al will have to use the analogy
of waterfall to explain. Say we
have q current of water and a turbine
wheel. If l have turbine wheel and
allow a thousand gallons per second
to fall from height of one foot on the
turbine l get q certain power, we will
say one horse power. Now, the one
foot Of fall will represent one volt Of
pressure in electricity, and the thou
sand gallons will represent the ampere
or the amount of current; we will call
that one ampere. Thus we have a
thousand gallons of water or one am
pere, falling one foot or volt or under
one volt of pressure, and the water
working the turbine gives one horse
power. II, now, we go a thousand
feet high and take one gallon Of water
and let it fall on the turbine wheel we
get the same power as we had before,
namely, one horse power We have
got thousand times less current or
less water. and we will have a thou
sandth of an ampere in place of one
ampere, and we will have a thousand
volts in place of one volt and we will
have fall of water a thousand feet as
against one foot. Now the fall of the
water or the height from which it falls
is the pressure or volts in electricity,
and the amount Of water is the am
peres. 1t will be seen that thousand
gallons q minute falling on q man
from height of only one foot would
be no danger to the man, and that If
we took one gallon and took it up a
thousand feet and let it fall down it
would crush him. So it is not the
quantity or current OF water that does
the damage, but it is the velocity or
the pressure that produces the effect"

a Pretty Story RslAts.a " General shsr-
man About q PsAcR Orchard.

L
At dinner party givnn not long ago
the General, being warmed up on the
subject Of the war. related number
cf remarkable incidents One story he
told was especially romantic aud is
worthy Of being preserved in print. He
said:
"Some time after the close Of the
Seminole war in Florida. !. being
then lieutenant in tho regular army,
was sent with another young officer
along the line upon which troops and
supplies had proceeded from Kentucky
and Tennessee 10 the scene Of conflict
to adjust certain claims put forward
by people along the route who had
furnished horses, commissary supplies.
etc. We had occasion to visit farm
er named Mccoy. who lived on the
northern slope of the Kenesaw Mount
ain. We found him very pleasant
ly located, and on u plateau near
his house no had planted a peach
orchard, then in fourishing condi-
ton. He told us that he had made the
discovery that peaches could be raised
on the northern side OF that mountain,
but not on the southern side the warm
suns of the spring pushed the buds so
rapidly that they were very likely to
be caught by frost. He was the first
man to plant peach trees Oh the north
ern slope and was making q great sue
cess Of it.
He had two very pretty daughters,
and myself and the young Lieutenant
took great interest ia them. We pro-
longed our stay there several weeks.
and many is the pleasant stroll we had
in tho simmer evenings through that
peach orchard. In fact, it was love
among the peach trees. Years after
ward, June 26, 1864, found myself in
command of q Federal army at the
foot of this same Kenesaw Mountain.
The Confederates were occupying o
very strong position over the crest.
After the necessary preliminaries it be-
came essential to attempt to carry the
position on the mountain by assault.
l sent for MCPHERSON, assigned the
troops. etc., and said to him. You
will advance up the side of this mount
ain some distance, when you will come
to Il plateau covered by a peach Or
chard. You can work your way
that peach orchard, and after |
that it will be hard work and close
fighting, but l think you can carry the
position.
Mcpherson executed the orders as
best he could, but failed. In the even
ing he came to me and described the
days fighting, and said: General, we
your instructions rs carefully |
rs possible, and we found that peach |
orchard just where you said it was, but
beyond that we failed. What l am
about is, how the devil you
knew that peach orchard was there
Il said to him: That is my little af-
fair; there is romance connected with
hat. Mac" and the General smiled
significantly.
