THE OLD CAPITAL.
A NEWS REPRESENTATIVE ON HIS
TORIC GROUND,

And He Is Inspired to say Something
About It--Off to New York on the Press
Excursion.
EDITOR NEWS: Tie weekly press met
on historic grounds this year, in the Ole
halls of state where Georgia's giants once
met in fierce mental combat in discuss
ing vital questions that even threatened
the stability of the American union.
Milledgevllle! what magic in thatname.
How it thrills the souls of Georgians with
a memory of those days of chivalry and
glory, left only to the weak hand OF ira
dition to perpetuate.
Here the eternal hills, permeated with
histmonic association, are silent monu-
ments of glories forever gone. The val
leys hold garnered i'll their bosons treas
ured memories of those proud old days
of asouthern aristocracry.
1t may be we'll that no pen has at
tempted TO portray in letters the impal-
pable beauties conjured up as the mental
course of retrospection adown the vista
of time scanning, under the waning lights
of by gone days, events of the immutable
past.
We believe that in this still proud old
city we see the impersonification of the
gold age, beautiful in its untarnished
simplicity, perfect in undaunted courage.
No business was transacted here, but
was postponed until we reached Atlanta.
A tour was made of the asylum, that
repository of sad, broken minds.
The asylum is admirably kept, and the
inmates seemed as contented as their de-
pIorable condition could authorize one to
expect.
An elegant repast vas served in the
old capitol, which was literally inter
spersed with eloquent and witty ora
tions.
Mllledgeville maintained her reputa-
ton for unbounded hospitality and gave
us a right royal reception.
We arrived here in Atlanta, from
whence we depart at high noon with an
unusually large party for the capital
city. Yours,
M. {. EDWARDS, JR.

THE TALE OF A DOVE.
Strange Incident In the Closing Scenes OF
a Murderer's Life.

81 can recall strange incident that
has never found its way into PRINT,
said a member of the New York con-
gressional delegation to Post reporter
1T happened in Long Island, IN the
Queens county Jail, and, to say the least
is tinged with strangeness Patrick
Casey, a Long Island City policeman,
was an inmate of the Jail, under the
sentence of death for the deliberate
murder of his superior officer, Sergeant
Cumiskey. The representative III con-
gress from the First congressional dis
trict Of New York, James w. Covert,
was Casey's counsel and succeeded III
having his sentence committed to i'm
prisonment for life. On the day Casey
was sentenced to death pure white
dove few in the courtroom window and
alighted on his shoulder.
1.-THE dove refused to be removed, &C
companied Casey back to his cell and
became his constant companion. AT the
same time Charles Rugg, the notorious
negro murderer, was also an inmate OF
the Jail, awaiting trial for the murder
of Mrs. Lydia Maybe and her daughter.
Just previous to the day set for his trial
Rugg escaped from the Jail, but two
days later was captured and returned to
the jail The day of his capture was the
day set for Casey's removal to Sing
Sing to serve his life sentence. AS he
was being taken from the Jail and while
in the sheriff's Office being prepared for
his journey Rugg was led in by his
capturers. All this time the dove had
been perched on Casey's shoulder, but
as soon as Rugg was led in the dove flew
from Casey's shoulder and over to Rugg,
alighting on his shoulder, cooling as If
it had found long lost friend.
"All efforts on the part Of Casey to
call it back were in vain, and as Rugg
was led back to the cell from which he
escaped the dove went with him. 1t re-
NAMED with him up to the morning of
the execution On that morning as Rugg
marched up the scaffold the dove was
perched on his shoulder and remained
there until the black cap was drawn
over his face. AS soon as that was done
the dove flew out one Of the Jail win
dows and was never seen around the
Jail again. Washington Post.

BLASTING GELATIN.
One of the Most Important Explosives, and
How 1t Is Made.

One of the Most Important Explosives, and
How 1t Is Made.
By far the most important as we'll as
the latest form of dynamites or solidi-
fed nitroglycerin are those designated
not too happily as blasting gelatins. "
Many persons imagine, quite naturally,
that these consist of some form Of gela
tin, isinglass or glue, converted by
chemical means into powerful exp]o-
sive. But blasting gelatin contains
no particle whatever of gelatin, prop
erly SO called, the term being applied to a
mixture of nitrOglycerin and nltrocel-
lulose. 1t is prepared at Ardeer, i'll Ayr
shire, N B., by heating nitroglycerin
in "jacketed" pans to between 40 de-
grees and water at 60 degrees Go
degrees F.-a certain proportion of dry
gun cotton of the soluble" kind. A
current of hot water at so degrees c.
40 degrees F.-circulating between
the outer and inner pans keeps the con-
cents of the latter at the required tenn
perature, and the mixing is effected by
mechanical stirrers.
Any rise of temperature above 40 de-
grees Glib degrees Els quickly
checked by turning into the outer
''jacket" astream Of cold water in place
of the hot for a time. In the course Of
about an hour the nitrocotton is dis
solved in the nitroglycerin. the two
bodies uniting to form more or less
stiff homogeneous jelly. 1t may indeed
be compared to the Photographic colo
dion, thickened by evaporation, the gun
cotton having been dissolved not III the
usual alcohol-ether mixture, but in nj
troglycerin. When composed of 93 per
cent of the latter, with per cent cot
ton, we get most powerful explosive.
Mr. G. Macroberts, the manager at
Ardeer, observes upon this point:
''Of all the nitroglycerin explosives
blasting gelatin is the strongest. If the
energy Of dynamite be represented by
100, that Of blasting gelatin will be 150
Nitrogelatin itself shows less energy
than blasting gelatin. Nineteenth

The Pill Beautiful.

In the past the size of pill was Of
ten, to use Dominic SIMPSONS favorite
expression, "prodigious. 1t was sell
dom coated except when a little flour
was sprinkled upon it-a most Elusive
method of concealing its nauseous fla
vor, and lastly its surface was frequent
ly so adhesive in hot weather that it
would fasten itself to the organs of taste
like a impet to rock. The chemist
has enabled the pill manufacturer to
reduce the size of many pills by sepa-
rating out the active principles of the
crude drug in the form of alkaloids, the
doses of which are very small, some
times not more than hundredth part
of a grain.
With the aid of new kinds of ma
chinery the modern pill receives an ex-
quisite polish. A perfectly smooth and
shining surface is produced by the ac-
ton of two revolving plates. After that
the pill is stuck on pin and dipped
into liquid preparations of gelatin.
These, on drying, give it thin, hard,
soluble coating For children pills are
made attractive by coating them with
sugar and coloring them pink, so that
they look and taste very much like con-
fectionery. Various substances have
been used for coating pills. One seldom
sees now pills coated with gold or silver
leaf. 1t was found that these coverings
did not properly conceal the disagree
able odor of some drugs, as valerian and
asafetida. Chambers Journal.

they come out to play they toss islands,

islands are dead volcanoes. Rocked in

to an active life and game to their last

sleep are decorated with tropical blooms.

Once upon a time all the geysers and
boiling springs and volcanoes of the
earth held a convention to elect king,
and Etna was there, and Hecla was
there and Strombuli was there, and
Vesuvius was there, and Fusiyama was
there, and Mauna Loa was there. The
discussion in this convention of volca-
noes was heated. They all spouted i'm
FASHIONED sentiment. Some were candi-
dates for the throne and crown because
of one pre- eaninence and others for 9th
er superiorities. But when it was put
to vote by unanimous reclamation XII
lauea was elected to be king of volca-
noes All the natural forces of the
earth, all the vapors, all the earth
quakes, all the hills, all the continents
voted aye And that night was the cor

scepter was Of smoke. The coronet was
of fire. And all the sublimities and
