Recaipt.s from the Income Tax.

good showing Of the preliminary can
yass bv the collectors OF internal reve-

Isle They believe that the greater
the amount realized from this tax the
more popular it will become and the
more firmly rooted as a part Of the
policy Of the government. Represen-
tative McMi!lin, of Tennessee, SAYS that
if large percentage of the revenue Of
the government Is derived from this
plan, any attempts to repeal it before
the expiration Of the fve-year limit
fixed in the X ilson bill will be exceed

A Big Corn Crop in the South in 1899
is Essential.
Manufacturers Record

Manufacturers Record.
The Manufacturers' Record wishes |
to invite attention TO the following
facts:
The total production Of corn IN tie
United States in 1891 was 900 /
900 bushels, decrease Of over 400, 600
900 bushels az compared with 1893,
and decrease Of $50 600 900 bushels as
compared with 1891. Fortunately The
South had large crop this year, or
otherwise it would have had to pur-
chase its corn at a very high figure, be
cause Of this great shortage. As the
average crop Of the United States tor
some wears has been about l,lJO,OOo,-
900 bushels, the production Of the last
two years is over 5OOOOO,OOO bushels
short of the average The country Will
therefore enter upon the next crop year
with very small stock of corn on hand
so small, indeed that even should we
have another 1000, 600, ,OOO-bushel crop
as in 1891. it would require all of this
enormous Weld to make up for the de
ficiencv of the last two years. Even
should such a crop as this be produced,
prices would probably still be high be
cause Of the decrease IN 1891 AnOth-
er small crop following the one of last
wear would necessarily mean exorbitant
prices for corn.
Because of these facts 1t becomes
more imperative than ever before that
the South should increase It's corn acre
age this year The Sonth's large crop
last year was due more to a heavy yield
per acre than to a large increase IN
acreage. If this section is to maintain
its independence of the West 50 far az
corn is concerned. every effort should
be made to urge upon farmers the I'M
portance of planting a laTger acreage
this year than ever before. With big
corn crop the South is better prepared
to stand low priced cotton than it could
in any other way
1t behooyes every trade organization
in the South and every business man
Individually, as well as the press, to per-
si.tently exert all possible influence to
encourage an increase Of acreage in
corn and other food supplies.
If the vigorous work Of the press *
supplemented IN this direction by the
active personal cooperation Of bankers
| business men and all others who deal
with farmers, 1t Will be possible to Sc
cure an increase of % or more per cent.
in the acreage devoted to corn and food
stuffs compared with last year
| The vital interest which the entire
South has in the increaae Of its grain
production, which also means an in
crease in the supply of provisions,
prompts the Manufacturers Record to
press this matter upon the attention Of
every man in the South

Is an eel a fish? was the question ar

the other day. Five men had been
summoned for fishing at night in the
Lea contrary to the bylaws of the con-
servancy board One of the defendants
pleaded that he had vet to learn that
an eel was fish sThe great Frank

eels have been found travelling across

Electricity in a Thunderstorm.

Nem York Times.
What produces the electricity in a
thunderstorm? This question, Of per-
ennia! interest both to the scientific
man and the ordinary inquirer, can
scarcely be said to be completely and
satisfactorily solved. It has, however,
generally been supposed that the big
drops in a thunder shower were the
result of electrltlcation. for working an
electrical machine ia fog causes tie
minute drops to adhere together and
form larger ones. But now come de-
velopments that render it probable that
the big drops are not results, but causes
at least. part OF the electricity mani
tested. When a drop splashes on a
metal plate, the latter becomes clectri-
fed, and it is now believed that every
such drop carries double layer of
electricity, positive and negative. On
the drop these neutralize each other,
but the splash dissipates one, and so
renders the other evident. The same
thing would happen if two drops splash
ed against each other in the air, as
must often be the case, and hence. per
haps by the aggregation of millions Of
such .plashes, comes the lightning bolt
that rends the oak or skaters the
