TO Clean Up the STATE house.
Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE Evening
Commercial editor this afternoon an
nounces that tomorrow morning he will
send a bucket and mop brigade up to the
capitol for the purpose of giving the
building a much-needed bath. Several
days ago the Commercial published To-

condition of the state capitol, stating
that Gov. Atkinson, in a spirit of econo-
my, had discharged four janitors to save
the state 500 a month, and that the re-
naming force was unable to keep the
building clean. To-day when the paper
sent a reporter to see the governor and
interview him on the subject with a
laugh he told him that II the Commercial
wanted the job il might have it, Editor
blackburn took the governor at his word
and this afternoon organized a squad of
negroes with buckets and mops and to-
morrow morning with a drum corps at
their head they will march on the cap
itol to give it a bath of soapsuds The
visits of the delegates of the Conductors
convention, nearly 1000 of them, has kept
the capitol in a rather soiled condition
for the past few days. Gov. Atkinson
says the force of jantors is able to keep
the place neat and clean.

Posse TO the Scene.
Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE people of
Andersonville continue to be apprehen-
sive of serious trouble with the negroes
who congregate there on the national
decoration day. Last year the crowd
raised a riot in which the marshal of
the town was shot and almost killed.
To prevent a repetition of the trouble
this year a petition signed by large num-
Der of the law-abiding citizens of the
community was presented several weeks
ago to Gov. Atkinson asking him to order
sufficient military there on May 80 to
keep down the anticipated riot Gov. At
kinson did not consider such an order nee
essary, but replied that he would see
that the peace was procured. To-day the
governor received another petition from
Andersonville, this one signed by thirty
three of the leading ladies of the town,
begging him to send the military there on
Decoration day to protect them from the
violence of the negroes. Gov. Atkinson
has accordingly instructed the sheriff of
Sumter county to take a posse TO An
Jacksonville sufficient TO preserve order,
and has also ordered Col Wiley of the
Second Regiment to keep a company of
military in readiness, with a special train
al Americas TO proceed at once to Ander-
sonVille in case the sherin's posse is I'M
able to preserve the peace.

DIMENSIONS OF THE UNIVERSE.
1t Takes a Thousand Years for the
Light of Some Stars to Reach Us,
G. P. Serviss in the ChautauquaI

G. ?. Serviss in the Chautauquan.
While, however, it is interesting to
know the distance of some of the stars
in miles. when stated in that way the
numbers are so large that they frequently
convey very indistinct conception to the
mind. For this reason it is customary to
estimate star distances in light years.
light year is the distance that light
moving at the rate of 1SS, 300 miles per
second, travels in one year. This amounts
in round numbers to $50. 600 900 900 miles
The distance of Alpha Centauri is 435
light years; that of Sirius. the Dog Star,
is almost exactly twice as great, or SO
light years to come TO us from Sirius. And
these are among the very nearest of the
stars. Some, whose parallaxes have been
rather estimated than measured, appear
10 be situated at a distance which light
could not traverse in less than one or
two centuries. The great star Arcturus.
for instance, has, according to DR.. Elkin,
a parallaX of only eighteen one-thou-
sandths of second. Its distance is SO
great then, since light varies inversely
as the square Of the distance from its

BEER FROM BANANAS.
How African Natives sIaIse This sDir-

lNuOus BFNtEaEts
To the natives Of Africa OF the present

Unknown. Yet there exists no lack of in
tOxicating beverages among the sons Of
the Dark Continent. They are not re-

intoxicated 10y them. The Africans make
wine and beer. but neither grape juice is
used for the former nor malt extract for
the latter. Palm leaves of different kinds,
bananas and millet furnish the raw ma
terials.
Palm wine is made from the sap oozing
from the cutoff blossom stems OF the oily
palm tree and of the cocoa tree. 1t is
a pleasant, refreshing beverage, and suf-
ficienuy known. From the fruit of the
banana tree a beverage is made in Africa
which they drink there as wine or beer.
Banana beer is chiefly used by the ma
tives of Jganda, country bordering on
Lake Victoria. The people there are fond
Of such beer and when Emin Pasha went
to Rubaga TO meet King Mtsea he wrote
in his diary: This is a real beer trip;

In that country the manufacture of the
banana beverage is very extensive. DIR.

merry lived there, describes the different
kinds of the banana beverage. He makes
