In the case of the sun we can see, with
the aid Of the spectroscope in about what
order some of the constituents of its shell
are placed, but we can only scratch the sur
face Of the earth, and we know by direct
observation far less of the order in which
the deeper parts of its crust are laid down.
Here, however, the study of the sun comes
in to help us in the study of the earth.
On the sun metallic elements abound un-
derneath the lighter substances forming
the upper or outer portions of it's incandes-
cent shell. There is reason to think that a
similar order prevails in the crust of the
earth, and that deep down beneath the sur
face, if we could penetrate there, we should
lind much larger proportion of the heav-
Ter metals than we find near the surface. 80

1t was happy thought that suggested
turning New York city's historic old Cas-
tie Garden into an aquarium. 1t will add
an interesting chapter to tho well known
story of the old fortress which became a
concert hall and then depot for newly ar
rived immigrants and it will make useful
a structure too sacred to be destroyed and
which yet might easily become an eyesore
New Workers will grow proud of the old
Garden again. for it is promised that when
the transformation is fully completed and
the pools and glass tanks are properly
stocked they shall have an aquarium that
will surpass all others in the world in size,
attractiveness and completeness.
In the center of the rotunda is II circular
pool 40 feet in diameter, where Il whale

These pools are all lined with white tiles
and bottomed with white sand, and the

as to illuminate them as much as possible.
Against the circular walls of the old for

pencd over on the west side awhile ago
There is Il row Of houses on street up there
that are rather close together. One day a
man who lives along in the middle of the
row thought chat he would have his house
painted, aud he straightway went down
town and hired the painters to do the job.

one at the caves. They were painting along,
when suddenly the ladder gave way, and
they were thrown into the air. The man at
the middle had gone down to the caves, and
the combined weight of the two tipped the
ladder up and threw the man at the peak
into the air rs if he had been sitting on the
business end of catapult.
When the man at the peak went up he
had a bucket of paint in his hand, and he
took it with him. The other two men
dropped to the ground, but he went away
over and fell against the wall of the next
house. When he was going down, the paint
flew out of the bucket, and some of it went
| on the side of the house near which he
struck. The painters fell about 30 feet and
were pretty badly hurt. The man who had
the fall from the peak of the roof lay on
the ground terribly injured His back was
broken and so were his legs. The men were
all grooming, and quite a crowd gathered
around. Somebody sent IA call for an am

a BAD YEAR FOR RAILROADS.
Thirteen Par Cent. Of the Roads IN the
United States Under Receivers.

United States Under Receivers.
During the year now closing nearly Is
per cent. of the entire railway mileage Of
the United States, according to the Rail-
way Age, representing overl2 per cent. of
the entire capitalization, has gone into
the hands of receivers. During the two
years, 1892 and 1898, the companies for
which receivers were appointed represent
over 10 per cent. of the mileage and nearly
10 per cent. of the capital stock and bonds
of all the railways ia the country.
These seem incredible statements. The
year 1893 will be forever memorable as
year unprecedented in the number and
magnitude of railway bankruptcies. Its
predecessor showed an alarming increase
in this respect over the Immediately pre-
ceding years, and the record of receiver
ships for the, first half of the present
year indicated no improvement. But
when the July panic destroyed financial
confidence and involved every interest,
many railway companies carrying heavy
loads of Indebtedness, which in ordinary
times would have kept ahoat, were unable
TO meet their interest obligations and the
last few months has seen the list of re-
ceiverships grow TO extraordinary pro-
portions.
The Philadelphia and Reading failure
in February was the first great wreck of
INC car anu dlOHOugu several OluBES OF
importance soon followed, it was after
the panic began that the most nota Die
calamities TOOK place. On July %, came
the Erie failure; in August the great
Northern Pacific confessed bankruptcy,
and in October the greater Union Pacific
system went into the hands of receivers.
Meantime and since, less notable COM
panles, though many of great Importance,
have dropped into the insolvent list until
now, two weeks before the close of the year,
there are in the record of companies for
whom receivers have been appointed since
January no less than seventy-oue roads,
with nearly %, 600 miles of line, an out
standing bonded Indebtedness of almost
S154, 000,0 and capital stock aggregating
over 1914 900, making a total of almost
81, 2SS, 100000 of stock and bonds from
which all returns are suspended, with the
certainty that a large part of their value
will be wiped out before the long process
of the COURTS is ended.
The alarming increase in the number of
receiverships, the amounts involved in
the past two years and the extent to
which the work of insolvency among rail-
ways has been going on for the last ten
years are indicated in the following sum-
mary.

FOOT BALL IN BLACK.
The Black Hawks Defeat the Southern
Stars 12 to 8.

There was great foot ball game at the
Wheelmen's park yesterday afternoon be-
tween two colored teams, styled the
Southern Stars and the Black Hawks.
The game was witnessed by about $50
spectators and was greatly enjoyed by
the initiated.
A total disregard of the esta blished
rules was one OF the marked features Of
the game. larvard's flying wedge was
lmpro ed upol III novel manner. In
stead of deciding the ownership of the
ball by the toss the oall was p aced in the
center OF the field and both sides formed
in wedge-shape at distance of about
twenty yards, At the word both started
with rush, coming together like a pair
OF battering rams with resounding
crash heads.
When payer got the ball there was
no such thing as down" but he was
pulled about by the contending sides I'M
I'll he was in danger of being dragged
apart.
There were occasional disagreemeuts,
and one or two players threat
ened TO resort to outside means in
settlement of disputed points, but
no serious difficulties resulted. One
player threatened to give another ''de
heel ketch" when he got OUTSIDE, and the
other replied by threat TO "knife
him. but neither carried out their dire
threats
A peculiar practice, new to
the experienced foot ballists
who were on the grounds,
adopted by the teams, was to throw the
ball in the air when it was in doubt and
let the players scramble for it, This in
novation was greatly enjoyed by the spec
tators, aud was without particular dis
aster TO the combatants. Yale and Prince

TO PROTECT THE GAME.
a Meeting Of the SDortsmen's Assoc
citation Here in February.


Harry Brown, OF Atlanta. is canvassing
the city for his magazine, the Southern
Sportsman. published in the interest Of
the sportsmen Of this section. Mr..
Brown has called upon number of the
the leading sportsmen in the city. and
has been very successful 10 his canvass.
The Sportsman is 5 months old, and al
ready has q large circulation among the
sportsmeu Of the south.
Il an endsavOring 70 work up senu-
meut IN behalf OF the protection OF game.
said Mr. Brown Yesterday 70 a MORNING
News reporter. The Senate amend
ments 70 the game law, passed at the last
session Of the legislature, rendered the
law almost worthless BY opening the sea-
son for shooting for six months instead
of four as proposed in the original bill.
Another thing 10 which l shall devote the
Sportsman IS the advocacy OF an im-
proved trespass law, making IL a misde-
meanor for any person 70 hunt or tlsh on
another's land without the owners con
sent.
Another thing in which the sportsmen
are greatly interested is Law 10 make
dogs property. 50 that we can pay taxes
on them, convict thieves who steal them,
and collect damages from men who kill
them.
THE present state Of the game laws
renderS another meeting OF the Georgia
Sportsmens Association necessary. AS
president of the association l shall proba-
bly, call meeting in Savannah for the
latter part of February. We are very
anxious TO have sportsmen who are inter
ested in fishing consider in their minds
what may be the BEST means to take for
the protection Of our game fish, that a
bill with this end in view may be intro
duced at the next session Of the legislature.
1t is highly important that there
should be a good representa-
tion of Florida sportsmen at
the Savannah meeting, in order that
the laws which may be agreed upon for
one state may not conflict with those of
the other state. 1t is desirable that the
game laws OF the two states should con-
form as nearly as possible so that the sea-
sons for hunting may be the same on
each side of the border line"
Mr.. Brown is deyoting mis- whole time
to the Sportsman. Il is the only publica-
ton solely devoted to hunting and fishing
in the south, and as such meritsnthe sup
port which it is receiving from the sports
men of this section.
