me to know how the people could live. l
trust that you will NOT think it out of
place for me TO bring this matter TO your
attention, especially when the healthful
condition of Georgia generally is involved
in the condition Of this little town. As
surfing you of my high appreciation of
yourself, l am yours very truly

The Dog ana the LAW.

From the Green Bag.
Once 1t is established that the nature
of the species is gentle and that every dog
is a law-abiding and peaceable Bruno,
then it becomes necessary, before liabili-
ty for the vulgar transgressions Of a
fierce ToWser can be fastened on the
owner, that he should have previous
knowledge Of the unusual and not-to-be-
expected feature.
This is called scienter, and until an own
er has this knowledge of his dogs vicious
ness he IS not responsible, though in the
error of its ways not acting as becomes a
gentleman of the dog species, or a lady,
as the case may be. To be more accurate
and exact once a dog had departed from
the narrow path of rectitude and demean-
ed itself in ways other than should obtain
with a strictly proper and gentle animal,
and the owner knows of it, then it loses
status and caste, and must be put down
as a vicious animal, and the owner keeps
it at his peril. Lord Coleridge, it seems,
was anxious to reduce the law on the sub
ject to a nicely in the way of succinctness
and brevity, and he succeeded by saying
that every dog Is entitled to one bite -
and the case has special reference to
spring limb or veal. The expression is va
ried by making it every dog is entitled to
one worry"

Where Hearing Ceases.

From the London Mail.
Lord Rayleigh in a lecture said that ex-
periments had shown that a vibration of
sound having an amplitude of less than
e-twelve-millionths of a centimeter
could stil affect the sense of hearing.
Such a vibration would be so short that
it would have to be enlarged 100 times be-
fore the most powerful microscope could
render it visible supposng that 1t were
susceptible of being seen at all Old peo-
pie, he said, do not hear high notes which
are audible to young persons, and there
is reason 10 believe that babies hear notes
which are inaudble to their elders.
