FROM the report Of experiments made
in the Siemens and Halske laboratory at
Berlin it appears that good results have
been obtained in producing ozone on
commercial scale by means Of the silent
electric discharge. AS the use Of this
curious product is likely to be largely
resorted to in the near future as means
of disinfectingc and sterilizing impure
water, the announcement that cheap
and economical apparatus for its pro-
duction has been constructed is hailed
with delight by the sanitary authorities
and medicos in general. The machine
now working in the laboratory referred
to yields q certain amount Of ozone
every hour, and its designers say that it
can be depended upon at all times. Re
Gently they have experimental on sup
plying compressed ozone to what they
call the technical trade and have
succeeded admirably by using a pres
sure of nine atmosphere. If we are to
Judge from the frequent illusions to this
rem ar kable product as they appear IN
the various scientific journals, the use
of ozone as a preventative and curative
agent In medical practice is daily grow
ing in favor.

AN exchange which turns somewhat
to poetry, reflects as follows on the rain:
IA short time since the cow was sad,
she scarce could raise her head; begad
her hoofs were sore her tail was limp,
her name and bangs had lost their crimp
and miles she trudged from grass to
drink with scarcely strength enough to
wink. The owner, too, looked blue and
glum and cursed the cattle business
some; but since the rain the grass is tall,
the cow can raise her head and bawl;
her hide is sleek, no bones protrude, she
prances like an English dude. Cd
bless the rain, the gentle rain, it makes
a man feel young again"

Visitors at the union depot Friday
were treated to a novel sight. Every
train that came in from the north was
covered with snow, while in this city it
was not cold enough to necessitate an
overcoat. The Central from Atlanta
and the Georgia, which spent the night
bet 1een this city and Camak, were both
covered with about an inch Of "the beau
tiful," which soon melted under the
cordial influence of Macon's sun. The
Southern also carried freight of snow.
Snow has been reported in on the Cen
trail, Southern. Georgia and Macon and
Northern Macon Telegraph.

was thrifty and insisted that he keep at

and from time to time Frau Berghem
pounded the ceiling with pola she kept

by stamping, to assure her that he was
awake and attending to business.

Ed. REnIsTER;-In In your issue Of March
2s, 1896 appears an article under the IL
tie of Monumental 1ncapacity,' which
for yindictiveness. maliciousness and un-
warranted attack upon innocent parties
calls for reply and therefore ask space
in YOUR paper to answer the slander.
When such articles are given TO the
public over n on-de-plume, It IS the act
OF an arrogant coward. As to that por-
tiou Of the article intended for Commis-
sioners Higbee and for political capital,
let the sneaking coward make il an issue
and go 20 the people with it and their
votes will decide.
In relation to the meetings at land Of
flee between Chairman Higbee and Baca
county politicians and Cleveland emesa-
ries, there is not one syllable OF truth in
the charge.
Now Mr.. Editor have made il rule
OF my life to ignore attacks made upon
me by implication through newspapers,
but this charge is SO slauderous in its
nature, | cannot in justice to myself and
friends let it pass uDnoticed, and to be
as brief as possible / denounce the state
ment as to land office and Baca county
politician as lie, its author as a liar and
the sandy haired genius who conceived
the article as slanderer, and ii there is
no punishment in the great hereafter for
men who make such grave and SANDER
GUS charges against their neighbors, then
hell had better beabolished and the devil
mustered out of service.

RICHARD RUSH.
There is much gossip in the war de-
partmert concerning an alleged repri-
mand unusually bestowed upon General
defenseless condition. The remarks OF
the head of the army were In the form
Of interviews on our methods of meeting
attack, and they were suggested by the
Venezuelan incident.
General Miles did not in these inter-
views divulge any information not al
ready public property. He confined
himself to statements he had repeatedly
made in his official reports and public
addresses. He did not give out any
secret plan or confidential project for a
campaign, but, nevertheless, his COM
ments are known to have occasioned
surprise in the war department.
General Miles talked more freely to
his personal friends than to the inter
viewers. To the former he expressed
himself as certain of American victory
in a war with England, for instance. and
to at least one prominent senator he
described a general plan for Gripping
the British government, an operation
which he promised TO do within ten days
If occasion required 1t. 1t is reported
that some of General Miles remarks.
while not contributing to the novelty of
the situation, attracted the attention Of
the state department people and led
to a discussion at the white house as

navy officers, especially those of prom
Gnent command. to talk too candidly
OF the possibilities of war with England

diplomatic question between this ooun-
try and the British foreign Office. The

WHAT VENEZUELA Is LIKE
Some Idea of the Country That May be
Fought Over.

The area of venzuela is 632, 900 square
miles, larger than that of any country
in Europe except Russia. and larger
than that of any state in the United
States. The area of Texas is 265, 900
square miles.
The population Of Venezuela by the
last census was 2,550,000. This is more
than Denmark's and less than SwitZer-
lands. 1t is about the same as that Of
Massachusetts. The last official esti-
mate of the population of Massachu-
sets, made on January 1, 1894, was O.
472,000. By the federal census of five
years ago the population of Massa-
chusetts was 2,23S, 900.
Caracas, the capital and chief city Of
Venezuela, has a population OF 10000,
or, says the New York Sun, less than
that of Fall River. 1t is built on an
elevation Of 1900 feet above the sea
level. 1t was founded in 1867. Caracas
Is an Indian name; the name of the
Indians of the neighborhood which the
Spanish pioneers affixed to the original
title of the new town, Santiago de Leon.
In 1872, the year of the latest American
war with Great Britain, an earthquake
in Caracas buried $1,000 persons in the
ruins of part of the city. The date Of
this earthquake was March 90.

Guayra TO London is nearly 5000 miles.
The salary of the American minister
to Venezuela is $500. The rank OF
