BILLINGS HELD.
Prominent Lumber Firm AIIeRe That
tie S~Indied Them out Of a BIN OF
Lumber--others vietImIxed.

l. y. Billings, the man recently ar
rested at the instance OF the Chicka-
saw Lumber Company, OF this city,
on a charge of fraud, was given
hearing yesterday before Commits
sioner Walcott.
The evidence OF guilt was adjudg-
ed sufficiently plain TO warrant him
being held for grand jury investiga-
ton and his bond was placed at $500.
II appears that Billings on false
representations purchased a bill Of
lumber from the Chickasaw Lumber
Co., out Of which he built n store
house in South Ardmore, on Douglas
avenue and that a few weeks since
without having complied with his
contract with the lumber company,
he sold same TO Billy kilgore for SOS
cash and Sis in haphazard accounts
scattered over North Texas, and left
the country.
Besides his alleged fraud on the
Chickasaw Lumber Co., there are
several other firms in the city who
fell victims TO his methods, which TO
say the very least appear quite ques-
tionable
Failing to furnish the required bond
Billings was placed in Jail.

With the increased amount of dust
in the atmosphere, and its natural
propensity for adhering to the per-
spring body, the daily bath becomes
more of necessity during the sum-
mer months than at any other time OF
the year. One should take great
care, however, that the bodily tenn
perature is reduced as nearly as pos
sible to normal before the bath is
taken. If the temperature is some
what high, and the body perspiring
freely, the danger of taking cold will
be increased. by reason of the sudden
congestion of the blood in the dilated
vessels at the surface of the body.
Much of the advantage to be derived
from sea bathing will be lost, unless
the crusts of salt which form in the
pores of the skin on the evaporation
of the water are removed by subse-
quent brisk toweling or fresh water
sponging, Not only is the perspira-
ton an efficient means of removing
superfuous heat, but by this same
channel go out many of the waste
products of the body. These waste
products are always relatively in
creased in the summer months, and so
it is doubly important that during this
trying season we should keep the skin
in healthy and cleanly condition.

How Gold Leaf is Made.

The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
AS yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all
gold leaf being beaten by hand.
First, the gold is cast into oblong
ingots about three-fourths of on inch
in width, and weighing two ounces
each. These ingots are passed be-
tween polished steel rollers and flat
tened out into ribbons of about
1.180th of an inch in thickness.
These ribbons are softened by heat
and cut into pieces one inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these
pieces are placed between vellum
leaves, one piece above the other, and
the entire pile is enclosed in double
parchment case and beaten with six
teen-pound hammer until the inch
pieces are extended to four-inch
squares. They are then taken from
the case and each square is cut into
four pieces; the pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold-beaters'
skin-a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine OF the OK
made into piles, inclosed in a parch-
ment case and again beaten, but with
hammer of lighter weight.
Still the .eaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into
four pieces and again beaten. This
last quartering and beating produces
2, 400 leaves, and the thickness OF nm
inch. Gold is SO malleable that it is
possible to obtain a still greater de-
gree of thinness. but not profitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pincers, placed on cushion,
blown out fiat and carefully cut into
squares three and one-fourth inches
in size. The squares are placed be-
tween the leaves of paper books, which
have previously been rubbed with red
chalk, to prevent adhesion of the
gold, each paper book containing
twenty-five squares or leaves of gold !;
and in this form the leaf is sold, not
by weight but by superficial measure.

Cranberry Culture.

The cranberry is an Aquatic plant,
and requires wet land and occasional
overhowing by water. The soil must
be black, decaying vegetable matter,
commonly called swamp muck, and
the land must be level and supplied
with banks and bitches, so that at the
right season the plants may be covered
with water. The surface, however, OF
the swamp must be covered with
ocean sand, wholly free from ordinary
soil, SO that grass and other weeds
will not grow in it. Then the plants
are set out in rows twelve to eighteen
inches apart and a foot apart in the
rows. AS the plant roots by cuttings
very easily, aad rooted plants are
easily moved, it is usual to procure
the cuttings or roots OF nurseymen
who make business of selling
them. They are sold by the barrel at
the usual price of three dollars. Tho
whole cost of the preparing the land
completely and planting it is about
$500 per acre. The plantation bears
the second year, and the culture is SO
profitable that the money spent in
fitting the land is sometimes repaid the
first year. There are several insect
enemies that prey on this plant and
precautions against these are one OF
the special cares of the grower. New

A SunflOMer Wonder.

The largest sunfower, possibly ever
seen in Atlanta is being displayed to-
day by Mr.. S. A. johnson. the grocery
man, who resides at 112 West Pine
street. The flower measures thirteen
inches across, and is filled with seed
much larger than an ordinary flower.
1t was raised in Mr.. Johnson's garden
where he cultivated it with his vege-
tables.
After the flower had matured and
the seeds had ripened Mr.. Johnson
pulled it and is showing it to his
friends. He will put it on exhibition
at the agricultural department., he
SAYS. He thinks that it would pay
for people to devote some time to the
cultivation of this flower, as the seed
make fine feed for fowls and animals.
After the seed has been compressed
the oil from them makes the best
grade of labricaing oil. Atlanta

An Up.tO.Date Serpent.

John Gadsdcn, colored, killed q
rattle-snake near Poor Robin, Ga,
on the Savannah river, last week, that
had twenty-nine rattles and button.
And speaking of snakes-the strange
looking serpent that was seen by
party of deer hunters over in "the
fork" of Brier creek and Savannah
river last winter, has been seen again.
On account of the description given
of it at first it is known as the silver
serpent. Its scales were white and
glistened in the sun like shining sill
yer. 1t is said to be anywhere from
fifteen to twenty feet long and is
generally seen in trees. The two
fishermen who last saw it say that its
body has grown darker, but they de-
clare that its head was so dazzling as
hurt the eye. Its neck was arched
over the limb of a tree, and as the
rays of the morning sun fell upon it
they counted sixteen shining silver
scales upon its head, and to make it
stranger and more gorgeous still,
right in the centre of these they saw
a single scale of yellow cast that
shone and glittered like FURNISHED
gold. Atlanta Constitution.

1898, and was caught in the last OF
Napoleon's conscriptions. Ballot
was taken prisoner at Waterloo after
receiving a saber slash on the helmet
which felled him to the ground, but
