IS THE DAY GROWING LoNeER'
scientific Reasons In support of the Theory
That It 10.

Ihat ~ H.
One OF the most interesting subjects dis
GUESSED by Professor George Darwin dur
ing his recent visit to this country was
that of the possible and probable increase
in the length Of the day.
When once the earth Is in motion about
an axis, no matter how the motion came
about. IL would continue forever, and at
the same rate, thus making the day always
of the same length unless something Is
happening or will happen TO Interfere Win
that motion. Now, there are several causes
an operation which affect the period OF the
earth's rotation, some of which tend 10
make the period less and others TO make ~
greater. Fortunately the influence Oh each
of the causes is very small They are gen
orally easy 20 understand, ana Simple
experiment will illustrate one OF them.
Tie n stone to one end of IA string, and,
holding the other in the hand, whiri ~
around as nearly as may be in the circum-
ference of a circle. When its speed Is near
" uniform, allow the string 10 wind up
on the finger. IL will be noticed that as
the string shortens the angular velocity
increases In the same way, If the matter
forming the earth should in any way lie
drawn nearer the axis of rotation, it would
turn faster, and the day would be short
enod.
By continual loss of heat a shrinkage Of
The earth is probably in progress, and, al
though the process is exceedingly SLOW, 10
certainly tends TO diminish the period oil
rotation. On the other hand, any addition
of matter from the outside will tend 10 in
crease that period and make the day lon
ger. Undoubtedly slight additions to the
mass OF the earth are constantly made by
the arrest Of mCtCoric bodies passing
through the atmosphere. THOR influence
is opposed To and tends TO neutralize that
of any earth shrinkage that may be going
on.
The most important interference with
the rotation of the earth that we know OF
is that of the tidal wave, which is due tc
the attraction of the sun and moon, but
more largely TO the latter. 1t Is easy tC
see that this is a resistance against which
the earth turns, and its effect Is To increase
| the length of the day.
Astronomical observations extending
over about 2 200 years have failed TO show
any sensible change in the day, but the in
| fuence of the tides must become eviden
after the lapse of a great many years. Pro
| fessor Darwin declares that the day ma.
| lengthen until it is at last 30 times as lont
as it is at present, and that would be als'
the period of the revolution of the mooi
about the earth.
A day Of /, 800 hours, such hours as W
| now have, would offer many interesting
| advantages, but there would be som
things about it not altogether agreeable
| AS it is not likely TO come for some MI
lions of years it is not matter for imme
diate anxiety. Companion.

NO MEAT FOR ARTISTS.
Only Fruits and Vegetables Fitted to Feed
the Imagination.

The idea that people who work with the
brain and the imagination ought to diet
themselves in accordance with the special
nature Of their avocation seems to be or
tolerable antiquity. There Is evidently
nothing new under the sun, even In the
way of dietary reform.
Raphael is said TO have subsisted almost
entirely upon bread and dried fruits, being
as much Of "faddist" in such matters as
tho most up to date Of our modern vego-
.arians.
II was his idea that meat diet was not
suitable for painter, his theory being no
doubt that light food was more conducive
20 tho atato OF mind necessary for tho pro-
ducti0n Of Imaginative work.
Perhaps he was right, though i fancy
that Some OF the other immortal old mas
tors managed TO get along without any
such self denying ordinance.
As for our modern painters, even Tho
most Imaginative among them do not ap-
pear, 80 far as ono knows, to DO converted
TO vegetarian regimen.

From the sulligent Lightning.

From the Sulligent Lightning.
 As the next legislature is likely to take some action upon the public school sys- tenn of the state, Lightning takes this op- perfume occasion to observe that too much of Alabamas money has been expended for the establishment of big schools-schools for the education of men and women and for the building up of towns-at the ex- pense of poor and ignorant children throughout the state. If the state is go- ing into the education business-and we believe it should, so far as giving every child in it an opportunity to get a common school education at its own door-it needs more available funds.
 The state does not owe one town a school any more than 1t does another; neither does it owe the towns schools any more than it does the country; and therefore these funds should be placed so that better teachers may be secured for the common schools, and every child be given an oppor- tunity to get common school education at the old field school house.

When the populist party by name reached south Carolina, however MT. Tillman skill fully kept his people within the democratic party-so well so that South Carolina was the only state in the union that did not have a delegate at the St. Louis populist convention in 1896. The dispensary system of state liquor control, now enforced in South Carolina, and destined to play lar ger part. was born in the Georgia part of the district, in the municipality Of Athens, and appropriated by Senator Tlllman. Wo- man suffrage has more adherents in South Carolina than in any state of the south and It's chef advocates are in this little district. The district has always dominated politics in South Carolina and likewise in Georgia, until recent times.

 Notabies in Literature
 Among men of letters. though the south has been poorly productive in this respect, it is doubtful whether any other locality of the south has had continuously quite so many contributors to the higher literature of the country as this. Paul 2 milton Hayne. who competed in the popular mind with Sidney Lanier (himself born just out side the district, at Macon. Ga..) for the palm as the greatest poet yet produced by the south, lived within fifteen miles of Augusta out among the sands and pines. Richard Henry Wilde, the author of that immortal little classic, My Life Is Like the Summer Rose" was born and lies bur- jed in Augusta. James R. Randall, the author of the souths great war poem My Maryland and probably her greatest war poet (unless Father Abram Ryan be that one) lives and works in Augusta, and has done so since the civil war. Father Ryan lived for a quarter of century, during his prime, in Augusta The earliest piece of Georgia fiction, as well as one of the ear Hest in the south, Georgia Scenes" still a standard, was written by Judge Long street. born in Augusta. Richard Malcolm Johnston, the novelist, recently deceased, was born and lived the greater part of his life in this district where the scenes of all his "Dukesborough Tales are laid Harry Stilwell Edwards lives in the dis trict, at Sparta, Ga. There are other poets and writers of fiction here, who have the national attention.
 The peculiar temperament and degree of activity of the people of this district are apparent. Following the fate of all people of enterprise and promulgators of new and original ideas, they have sometimes brought themselves under the ban of public dis approval but they appear, according to the evidence. to be nothing dampened by de- feats They continue to produce "isms," and
