STREET CARS IN A CRASH.
Liberty Car Knocked "a Habershanl
Car on the Tracl..

lGDerty (ar knocked a Habersh1nl
Car on the Track.
A street car collision that came near
being serious occurred a the crossing of
the Liberty aud Habersham street lines
yesterday afternoon.
A west bound Liberty street car smashed
into a north-bound Habersham car, almost
entirely turning il around on tine track
The car was loaded with soldiers but
fortunately no one was seriously injured
one or two passengers. however. were
slightly bruised.
The Habersham street car is said to have
had the right of way. The conductor Of
the Liberty street car had a passenger TO
transfer, and the fhotorman, in some way,
let his car bang into the car on the other
line. 1t was deraned by the force of the
collision and thrown crosswise on the
pavement The passengers were thrown
out right and left. They were mostly
soldiers and got off light.

street was cleaned, about every ten days
or two weeks. a large percentage of this
was droppings and sand from other
streets.
City Engineer Vim was put up at the
request of Alderman Davis. He said that
he had recently inspected the Middle
Ground and other county roads and com
pared them with Bull streets There was
a light rain at the time and he found the
county road as sloppy as Bull street. For
material of the kind used he considered
Bull street from Anderson to Tenth
streets a fairly good road.
With the exception of the portion of the
Louisville road laid by the county, he con-
sidered Bull street as good as any of the
county roads. He had been agreeably sur
prised at the amount of traffic stood by
the roadway. The traffic seemed to have
benefited, rather than injured, it.
Mr.. Richter said that he had further
evidence which he wished to introduce"
His claim is that the work was extrava-
gantly done. To substantate this claim,
he wishes certain figures of the work
from the city engineers and commission
er's offices. He was assured that he
should have access to these figures, and
the hearing was adjourned until Wednes-
day night.

DIETARY CRANKS.
Fruit Eating and Distilled Water
Drinking and Their Results.

H EuAA
Drinking and Their Results.
From the Alienist and Neurologist.
A sect has lately risen which has evolv-
ed a theory which is truly ponderous in
the way in which it tramples down the
joys of the table. The Ralston Club has
solved the mystery of arteriosclerosis.
Their logic is simple. The arteries calcffy;
the lime-salts cause Qualification; all foods
except fruits and all natural waters con-
tain lime-salts; ergo, eat nothing but
fruit, drink nothing but distilled water.
They apparently assume that with this
one mighty brain throb they have solved
the problem of life, and have left men no
shadow of an excuse for dying under two
hundred years of age. The monkey the
nearest of kin to the hairy progenltor of
man, Is appealed to as a touching in
stance of plain living 1--WE wish we could
add high thinking, but though the apos-
ties of Ralston may believe it they do
not expressly say so. The monkey, they
tell US cats only fruits, and never drinks
water with his meals. Presumably the
reason why he fails of the double century
mark in respect of age is because he does
not QIlIk OlSllltu NdttA- ne INdISlOil-
ties pause in their consideration of the
animal kingdom with the monkey This
was unfortunate. The raven, for instance,
lives to be one hundred years old. He
lives on carrion. The next army of
cranks may be induced to follow his ex-
ample.
The fruit-eating craze is probably the
most degenerate of the many recent fads.
The fruit-eating and pot-bellied natives
of the tropics and their next lowest reia-
tives the apes, are truly inspiring OBJ
iects of imitation by civilized man; not
even their outdoor and arboreal lives save
them from the consequences of a meager
and rritant regimen. 1t is truly pitiful
to see the army of Inconsistencies, dyspep-
tics and rheumatics, starving their tissues
and calculating their blood at the beck
Of few. TO put it charitably, brain
ed enthusiasts. 1t is fair to suppose that
a trop of rickety children will later rise
up and call them anything but blessed.
The fact with regard to fruit is that, al
though 1t contains little nourishment, il
agrees well with many people endowed
with a vigorous gastric mucosa and fair
ly alkaline blood. To them ii brings
looseness and joy. In many dyspeptic
states it is the first food-stuff TO dis
agree, and to the ill-nourished neurasthe-
mic it is a miserable substitute for the
better tissue builders. An appeal to the
facts of evolution gives little comfort to
the cranks of one dietary idea. Primitive
man has, as hunter and herdsman, thriv-
ed on an animal dietary. Nuts and fruits
have served his turn as well, and en-
couraged him to the cultivation of the
cereals There is no evidence to show that
the people of any nation have become
longer lived or shorter lived on account
of an exclusively vegetable dietary, or
that any association of cranks has in
creased the longevity of its members by
any exclusive system whatever.

VOLCANIC BATHS.
The Basher CIings to n role Placed
Across the Crater and Dips in Ice
Cold Mud.
from the San francisco Bulletin.


Cold Mud.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Volcano baths are the proper thing now
adays in certain parts of California and
Mexico. Down in Mendocino county, Cali
fornia, such baths have become most fire.
quent
The volcano bath is not a water bath,
nor is it fire bath or a lava bath, as
might be supposed. II is a mud bath, end
no ordinary mud bath at that. Ice-'old
mud of a blush tint and of the consist
eney Of freshly mixed mortar in the Gle
ment into which the bathers plunge splash
ing and splutering. The way they man
age it is unique. A saplng is felled in Inc
forests near the volcano craters, stripped
of its limbs, carried TO the crater and
placed across ii, so that each end of the
pole rests on firm ground. Fancy yourself
Siding out on one of these saplilgs
stretched across a crater's mouth, then
slipping gently off into the middle of
gurgling bubb1ng, ice-cold mass Of mud
and swinging yourself there, suspended
by your hands, until fatigued Then, with
just life enough left TO crawl back along
the los, you reach the unyielding ground
again.
Once plunged into one Of the craters Of
mud, with ali ties to the sapling above
severed, a person would be lost forever,
being swallowed up in the murky depths
in an instant, for vastly quicker IN action
and surer of its victim than quicksand is
the mud of Mendocinos mysterious vol
canoes.
Cleanliness has nothing to do with it.
1t is not that for which people face the
dangers Of the volcano bath. The mud
which is beIched forth from the eartn's
interior is supposed to contain important
medicinal properties.
There are about twenty-five of these
| singular mud-belching volcanoes in Men
! docino county, and they are among Cali
| fornias many wonders. They are situated
| high on a mountain side, seven miles from
Cahto At this time of the year they are
unusually active. Their gurgling roar may
| be heard for a distance of several mi es
| when they are most violent. The mud fre-
| quently shoots over the rim of the crater
| flows down the mountain like a lava
| stream and enters one of the Eel river
| tributaries, called Mud creek. 1t fills the
| craters, which are about five feet above
| the earth's surface and bounded with q
! circular base or miniature crater from -four
to seven feet in diameter at the base ano
two to three feet at the top. Prospecting
parties have hewn down saplings fifty fee
| In length and pushed them into the mouth
of the crater. Some of these have disap-
! peared altogether. Others remain neal
the surface, playthings of the muddy ele
ment which losses them about like fish
ermen's bobbins in a rough sea. A signih
cant coincident is the fact that when tht
ocean, twenty miles away, is unusually
! heavy and rough the volcanoes become
intensely active, belching forth not only
their burden of ice-cold mud, but volumes
of warm Vapor. In some mysterious way
the ocean seems to control their action.
