Elec.rlo,ty No. . ching"

The notion that electricity is tLiht,
is obsolete among those competent to
judge of Its nature. There Is no such
thing recognized among electricians as
an electric fluid" Electricity Is n
mode OF motion. A wave on the ocean
is not thing. The sound Of an organ
is not q thing. Both these are modes
of motion. We know something of the
mode in the wave and in the sound, but
we do not know the mode of electricity.
When the electric mode Of motion Is
discovered then We will know what
electricity Is.

Garden Irrigation.

An Indiana farmer gives his expert
ence with irrigation from the reser-
yoir:
"The plot of land irrigated is To-
Gated along the side of a public road
leading east and west, extending thir-
ty-two rods and running back from the
road ten rods to natural bank or
slope. Here we constructed the bank
of the reservoir, using the dirt from
the upper side, the pond averaging
perhaps forty feet in width and five
in depth and running the length OF
thirty-five rods along the bank. We
made this excavation principally with
teams and scraper. The pond is fed
by natural springs coming out of the
said bank and also by flowing we'll,
so the supply has been abundant ever
since constructed some five years ago.
In the severest drought the surface of
the water lies from three to six feet
above the land. The soil is a black,
sandy loan. We will give results of
seasons in actual sales, deducting
freight, etc, not expense Of cultiva-
ton:
Onions, 415 bushels. ......$ 1927
Celery. .... 80. 615.43
Cabbage. etc.. -. 80. go. 5000
Celery on hand not sold. .... 5000
Total. go. .$1,037.70
What we have used in the family is
not included in the above.
The expenses for hired help amount
ed to $45 and part of that was en-
ployed on the farm. What success
have had this and the past two seasons
owe to irrigation. The soil being very
loose vegetation would soon burn out
in a drought. We have the pond
stocked with fish, which are doing
splendidly.

WARE COUNTY MISERs
He Buries His Gold in the Cypress Swamps
Near his Home.

WAYCRoss, GA, Nov. 26.-Few men
have been as misery and eccentric as an
old white man in this county. He is
bachelor and lives all alone in a log hut
on his little patch of ground between
Waycross and Waresboro. He is not rich,
but it is said that he has two or three
thousand dollars saved up, which he has
concealed in cypress swamps near his hut.
The old nan takes his chest of gold in the
night time and buries it in the ponds.
He haunts the location during the week
aud can be seen lodging behind the
trees, STOPPING here and there as if he
was gathering herbs or roots. When he
discovers that he is being watched, while
lettering about the pond, he removes his
treasure to new hiding place. The old
man sells his produce in Waresboro, and
has all his money changed to gold coin.
He has toiled on the farm all his life.
and his earnings have been boarded all
these years. His neighbors know but
little regarding him. They find him un-
communicative and averse TO compan-
ionship. He dresses most economically,
and his clothes last him many years.
1t is that the reason why the old bache-
lor has never become benedict, and the
probable cause which led to his becom-
ing miserly recluse, is that when he
was young man his sweetheart Tilted

YES, BARNUM is DEAD.

Credit to HIS Training.

Credit to HIS Training.
From the New Yorld World.
P. T. Barnum is dead, but his "Great-
est Show on Earth" and its proclaimers
are very much alive. Here is the latest
tale:
Bridgeport, Conn, November 16.-The
winter quarters of the show are in this
city. The season is over and the show
came home tosday in four trains, direct
from Texas.
The first train came before daylight.
and was duly switched upon the private
siding which runs alongside the winter
quarters Enclosure.
Heavy rains of the past few days had
softened the filling under the track, and
when the cars passed over it the rails
settled and the cars lister to port.
This, together with the crowding of
the animals, toppled oyer few of the
cages, and as they burst open TIE beasts
made rush for their winter homes.
Some of the animals cleared the fence
around the enclosure with an easy
spring. The adjutant and storks flew
over. The giraffes looked over, but
when the elephants came along the fence
fell down like cardboard.
The lions, tigers and leopards all scam
pered to their winter cages and crawled
in. The elephants, so Bill Newman said
walked solemnly to the big pen and
each one-hastened to tie chains around
his foreleg with his dexterous trunk.
Then the herd whistled for hay and car
rots.
In the center of the Enclosure a large
building has been put up since spring
This was new to the animals and it con
fused them. The hippopotamus and the
polar bears wandered around in help
less way, and the camels strayed off to
ward the cemetery. The monkeys al
ran into the main office and sat arounC

DAWSON, GA, DEC. 4TH, 1895.

WHEN we consider the fact that of the
products and commodities which we
have to sell Great Britain buys more than
all the other nations of the earth put to-
gether, the interest which that country
takes in having us held upon the finan-
eial basis which enlarges the purchasing
power of her gold dollars is easily &C
counted for. The difference between the
prices of our cotton and wheat and 9th
er products now, as compared with the
market prices of the same products when
this country was on bimetallic basis,
accounts for the fact that nine .tenths' of
the intelligent farmers of this. country
are for bimetallism as against the Vi eVe
land policy of gold monometallism.
A PIECE of steel was driven into the

ting without the entire loss of the eye.
At the eye and ear infrmary of New

which will hold up 100 pounds. When
the point of the magnet was brought
near the eye the small piece of steel was
drawn from it's bed and attached itself to

That is scientific surgery.
