Naval stores Men watching the spir-
its Market with Keen Interest.
There is expected to be some lively
times in the spirits turpentine market in
the next few days, although there is still
a probability that the expectations win
be disappointed. A large buyer is credited
on the street with being greatly in need
of supplies for use within short time,
and there is an air of expectancy for the
demand from this source that is believed
to be assured.
Receipts are light, likely to continue So
there are but a few hundred casks in first
hands, and the conditions are all regarded
as favorable for rise in values The
tendency of the market for the past two
or three days has been upward ana it
would apparently take but little stmulat-
ing to bring a decided advance. AS the
trade looks at it, it seems almost as
though there might be a little squeeze be-
fore the week is over But there is sun
a sufficient touch q uncertainty in the
situation to keep all on the anxious bench
for developments.

WILL SOON DIsBAND.
End of the War VIII Wind Up the
Christian Commissions work.

A meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to
the Christian Army and Navy Commits
sion was held yesterday Reports were
received from committees, and the work
of the ladies was discussed.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs
Wilson, the president she read a chapter
from the Bible and then offered a prayer
This closed the religious feature of the
meeting and the secretary, after the min
utes of the last meeting had been read
and adopted read letter from Mr.. Nune-
macher, assuring the ladies that they will
be advised of the work that has been done
by the Army and Navy Commission in
the Second Georgia Regiment just as soon
as he himself receives the Information,
for which he has asked from the chap
lain.
One of the ladies proposed that the
auxiliary should disband, now that the
war is practically over and there seemN
no further great need of then continuing
the good work they have been doing for
the soldiers. 1t was agreed to disband as
soon as the state treasurer of the COM
mission reports that there is no further
need for the ladies continuing their eff
forts. They have found recently that peo-
pie are unwilling to subscribe to funds
10 pc eNl(tINtu III the dSsiSldntC OF the
soldiers This has been on account Of the
fighting being over. While this was go
ing on and while there seemed to be
greater necessities among the troops to
be relieved, the ladies found it much easier
to obtain contributions.
A letter from the adjutant of the battery
of heavy artillery at Tybee was presented
to Mrs. Webb. The ladies had desired to
make some arrangements for holding re-
igious service at or near the camp, but
the letter stated that the adjutant had
been instructed by the commanding Of
ficer 10 say that there is no place on the
government reservation for meetings to
be held but that the ladies might rent a
building at the south end of the island. IL
they so desired, in which meetings might
be held, and that such of the men as
might wish could attend. In answer to
the offer of literature for the soldiers. the
adjutant wrote that they had already a
well supplied post library. In view Of
these facts. the ladies decided that the
work at Tybee would necessarily have to
be abandoned.
The report of the treasurer showed $40
on hand. OF this sum SO was contributed
by the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The
meeting was closed with prayer by Rev.
DR.. Chapman.
The soldiers prayermeet,ng will be held
at Miss Miller's, 1906 Oglethorpe avenue.

Many Holders of A. & w. p. Deben-
lures in Savannah.
The tax collector has receiyed a letter
from Controller General William A.
Wright furnishing him a list of those in
Chatham county who own Atlanta and
West Point Railroad debentures.
In the letter it was stated that these
were probably not returned for taxation,
since the holders believed they were ex-
empt from taxation. The tax collector
was requested to examine the tax digest
and see If the parties named on the list
had failed to return the debentures. If
they have not their attention is to be
called to the matter when they pay their
other taxes, and taxes on the debentures
will be collected at the same time. The
tax collector is also asked to notify the
controller whether the debentures were re-
turned or not.
The tax collector has replied to the
letter stating that the parties in question
have In many cases retuFned stocks and
bonds for taxation, the particular kind of
securities not being specified. He will as
certain IN each case whether the return
was made, and will collect the tax whether
1t was done or not. This matter has only
recently been stirred up, and the order
has gone forth that these debentlIres are
taxable and that all holders of theTrl must

fervent as that at any place he has
visited.
A meeting of the executive committee
has been called for Friday afternoon at 5
o'clock at the court house. The purpose
is to draft a suitable resolution inviting
Col. Gambler to sreak in Savannah at his
convenience. He already feels, doubtless,
that the county win go for him by
handsome majority, but the people are
anxious to have him include Savannah in
his circuit Of speech-makng. They have
read considerable in the newspap ers about
his position on state matters. so that
there are few who are quite familiar with
the policy he will pursue IL elected Gov
ernor. But they desire to grasp his hand,
and have a sort of political love feast,
such as will bring the people of the county
closer together.
There Is no question but the resolution
will be passed and it remains to be seen
what Col. Gambler will do in regard to the
peoples wishes. They want him 10 come,
but if his appointments are such he can
not break into them, il is not likely his
failure to get here will cost him any votes.
The speaking viii likely be in the thea
ter and besides Col. Gamblers remarks,
some enthusiasm may be injected into
county and city politics by local workers.

Burning Trash ain the Park Extern
sion Brings Out Complaints.

Residents in the vicinity Of New Houe-
ton and Drayto0 streets had smoke bath
of an hour or twos duration yesterday
afternoon. The only way to escape it was
TO put the windows down and take the
substitute of a sultry atmosphere.
The smoke penetrated scores of houses
and made life decidedly unpleasant until
the wind swept it away. From more than
a score of huge trash piles in the part
extension clouds rolled over everything
within a distance of several blocks south
There was considerable complaining, but
after the fire had been touched to the grass
and leaves there was no stopping the
smoke until they had been reduced TO
ashes.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How tho Plants Are Const. - rted and OPP
Grated In Philadelphia.

Grated In Philadelphia.
Artificial cold or leo may be most
roa'ily produced by the evaporation of
Il more or less volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this LIQUID
WAS water. One tenth of the amount of
water used was converted into ice, but
as 1t WAS necessary to maintain IL vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work
ing was difficult problem. A moro
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
to he substituted, such rs liquefied sui
phurous acid and liqucfied ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures,
they arc very suitable substances for
tEis purpose. The ammonia leo machine
Is tho one i'll most general usc-in fact,
1T finds exclusive application III this
city. This liquefied ammonia is allowed
to expand i'll coils of pipes which arc
placed i'll tanks filled with brine. Tho
temperature Of tho brine is thus reduced
to point below the freezing point of
water-that is, to Ills degrees l..
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
OF the large cakes of ice which one is
accustomed to sec i'll the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After IL
period of $3.50 hours this can of water
is converted into solid ice. The can is
hoisted out of tho brine, warmed with
hot water, which allows the cake to
slip out upon Il shoot that runs into tho
storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia
i'll tho pipes can be used over and over
again, Il large compression engine being
Il part of the plant, which reduces tho
expense of the process. From this de-
scription it should be plain that there
can be no faint of ammonia to give Il
taste to the ice
The plants usually employ distilled
or artesian water, so that the ice is OF
tho best quality. Whatever Impurities
the water contains are collected in the
white streak found III the center of each
cake. The pure water separates from
tho impure and freezes first Even ten
years ago the demand for ice was sup
piled from natural sources, the har-
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv-
ers, which We're stored every winter in

LIFE ON JUPITER.
How 1t would Appear as Measured by
Terrestrial Standards.

Judged by our terrestrial experience,
which is all we have to go by, tho inagni-
tudc of II planet, If it Is to bear lifo rssem-
bling that of the Garth, is limited by other
considerations. Even Jupiter, which. as
far us our knowledge extends, represents
the extreme limit of great planetary size,
may be too largo ever to become tho abode
III living beings OF high organizations
The force of gravitation on the surface of
Jupiter exceeds that on tho curth's surface
as 2.Gi to l. Considering tho effects of
this on tho weight and motion of bodies,
the density of the atmosphere, the laws of
pncumatics, etc. it is evident that Jupiter
would, to say tho very least, be an exceed
1ngly uncomfortable place of abode for be-
lngs resembling ourselves. But Jupiter,
IL II is ever to become u solid, rocky globe
Ike ours. must shrink enormously in vol
umc. since Its density is only 024 us COM
pared with tho earth. Now, tho surface
gravity of planet depends on it's mass
ana its radius, being directly us tho former
anu lnverscly us tho square of the latter
But in shrinking Jupiter will lose none
of its mass, although its radius will be-
como much smaller. Inc force of gravity
will consequently increase on it's surface
as tho planet gets smaller and more dense
Tho present mean diameter of Jupiter
is $500 miles, while its mass exceeds that
OF the earth in tho ratio of 3l6 to l. Sup
pose Jupiter shrunk to thrce-Q quarters of
its present diameter, or 81 500 miles, then
Its surface gravity would exceed tho earth s
nearly five times. With one-hulf its pres
cnt diameter tho surface gravity would be-
