Georgia is claiming possession OF
the best fire clay in the United States.
The state has been Il producer of clay
in a modest way, standing twentieth
in the list Of clay-producing states,
but it hopes soon to take a much
higher position. This hope is based
on report by DR.. G. +. Ladd, the
assistant state geologist, who has been
testing the Georgia clays for year,
and who has found bed of the very
best clay, extending across the state
from Columbus to Augusta. This clay,
DR.. Ladd says, is "the most refrac.
tory in the United States" that is, i,
twill stand agreater heat than any clay
I have ever tested in America. The
bed varies in width from five to fifteen
miles, and follows an irregular line,
sometimes running north and again to
the south. AT some points the clay is
very pure and refractory, but often it
is full of impurities and is not valu.
able. The best of it il worth $40 a
ton in the markets. In South Caro-
lima, just across the river from Au.
gusta, there is a clay deposit Of the
same character which brings in 5000,
600 a year. That clay is shipped to

New York, Sept. 3O.-A United States
army wagon hauled by four horses,
has just arrived at Orange, n j., all
the way from Fort Niobrara, Neb., a
distance of 200 miles. The party in
the wagon consists of owen McTas-
ney, former resident of Orange, and
ziphirion Maurice, a Frenchman. Both
are soldiers in the regular army. The
trip is the result of a wager that it
could not be done in seventy-two days.
The travellers wore the regulation
uniform.
Mr.. McTasney said: We left Fort
Niobrara on June 80. We were nine
ty-one days on the road, but as we
were stalled eighteen days in South
Dakota, we were only one day behind
scheduled time.
After leaving Nebraska, we struck
into South Dakota, got lost in an In
dian reservation and went about 400
miles out of the way. From Dakota
We came by the way of Iowa, Illinois,

SPoFFORD's SHORTAGE.
The ex-Librarian Forgot to Get Nom
ey Orders Cashed,

Washington, Dec. 9.-An Investigation,
now being made between the officials of the
congressional library and the officials of
the postofice department, promises to
thrown great deal of light upon the re-
GENTLY discovered shortage of Former Lii
brarian Answorth r. Spofford
II will be remembered than an investiga-
ton by the treasury department about
year ago showed Librarian Spofford to be
about $4,000 short in his accounts. Few
people who knew him looked upon this at
the time as anything more than an evil
dence of clerical negligence in his depart
ment.
Now it appears that a large part il not
all of this deficiency, which Mr.. Spofford
promptly made good out of his own pocket,
VIII be accounted for by a great batch of
old money orders which the absent-minded
librarian forgot to cash.
The postoffice department gets a great
many records of money orders from post
masters, which are never presented for
payment by the parties receiving them.
The number of these uncashed orders ad-
dressed to the librarian of congress is per-
haps greater than all of the others COM
bined. When Mr.. Spofford was in office,
Mr.. Metcalf, chief of the money order de-
partment of the postoffce 9 would notify
the librarian that there were orders on
he would get a few in response to these
notifications and sometimes not.
Since j. Russell Young has
been placed in charge of the library, how
ever he and First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath have made a systematic
search of the old library records, and
tucked away in one place or another they
nave unearthed hundreds of old orders
which the former librarian had put aside
and apparently forgotten and more are
coming to light every day. Just what the
total sum will amount to has not yet been
established, but it will probably come
near wiping out the discrepancy in Mr.
Spofford's account. Some of the orders
date back twenty-five years and one of
the largest was for $36. Many of the orders
have expired by limitation, but they viii
all be paid by cash or warrant on the
treasury and the money will be turned
over to Mr.. Spofford up to the amount
that he has paid out in rectifying his own
accounts.

HOLY WAR IMMINENT IN ASIA.
MosIegs in the Cars Domain DAN
gcrousIy Infiamed.

MOSleals in the Cznr'S domain Dan
gcrousIy InfIamed.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 9,-Throughout Rus
sian Asia there is a general unrest among
Moslems. 1t Is attributed to the exag-
gerated reports of the Turkish victory
over the Greek empire, which have spread
throughout the length and breadth of the
continent.
The authorities even fear that the re-
vival of brigandage recently noticed in the
Caucasus is directed almost solely against
the government officials, and the unprece-
dented phenomenon of Georgians display
ing hostility toward Armenians has become
manifest.
The danger is so serious that confer
ence of the Caucasian governors has
been invoked to concert measures of pac-
ification.
Travellers in Central Asia report an ex-
traordnary ferment among the Moslems
of different races. They are sinking their
mutual animosities and declaring that they
are first of all Mohammedans with the
sultan as their common chief 1t is evil
dent that the slightest pretext would suf-
flee to bring about an uprising and to
plunge Russia into the same sea of trouble
as India.
