Georgia's Petrifying Spring.

There is a spring in Brooks COUNT
Ga, which In very short time converts
wood and several other substances into
hard rock. The peculiar qualities of this
Georgia fountain have been known since
early in the century, when an old "ba'r
hunter" accidentally lost his knife in the
iasin which has been followed out o:
the granite strata by the ceaseless bub-
bling of the water. A month later the
old trapper again repaired to the spring
and was sgreeabiy surprised to find his
tavorite knife. The water had had no
effect upon the bright steel, not even to
the extent of leaving a speck of rust, but
with the wood Of the knife's handle it
was far different. The petrifying parti-
cles with which the water is so highly
impregnated had entered every pore and
sap tube in the wood, and what was but
few weeks before a hickory handle os
''home make" was now two thin slabs Of
solid stone, woodlike in appearance, but
as hard and unyielding as a chip from
granite bowlder. To this day the place
Is known as "old Moore's petrifying
spring. Lcuis Republic.

A report comes to us from st. Louis to
the effect that Mr.. Donald H. Farquhar of
that city has succeeded in so concentrat

the brain. The same plan can also be
adopted when 1t is necessary TO study the
pathological condition in other parts of
the body. Asmall cone of light from an

LII Mexico there is plant known by
the name Of Palo dc Leche. 1t belongs
to the family of euphorbia. Tho In
dians throw the leaves into the water
and the fish become stupefied and rise
to the surface and are then caught by
tho natives. III this case tho effect of
the narcotic soon passes off, Tho milk
of this plant thrown upon tho fro gives
out fumes that produce nausea and head
ache. The milk taken internally is
deadly poison. 1t will produce death or
insanity, according to the size of the
