BEATS THE KLONDIKE.
What q Georgia Farmer Is Doing
OIL 400 Acres.

The Macon Telegraph tells of pro-
gressive farmer who did not have to
leave Georgia to find a Klondike all his
own. This man is farming on 400
acres of land. He is selling three or
four car loads of melons a week, and
realizing about $40 per car This
will likely last for four or five weeks.
He has shipped l,400 pounds of honey
and sold it for 10 cents per pound. He
has shipped several ear loads of
peaches and realized handsomely on
them. He has proven that hog raising
in Georgia is profitable, and carries
three or four hogs to market every
week. He has pro 5pect of forty or
fifty bales of cotton and 400 or 800
bushels of corn and potatoes. He is
getting rich on 400 acres of land.
This farmers total investment, it is
further stated, is not more than So
900, which means yearly profit of
80 per cent, besides living for his
family. The gold mine that pays bet
ter than this in the long run is the
exception.

THE VERMONT CONDEMNED.
The Historic Old Battleshp Is Germ
Laden.

Her days Of usefulness ended and
condemned by board of surgeons who
recently investigated her sanitary con-
dition, the old ship Vermont, which
has for so many years served as a re-
ceiving ship at the Brooklyn navy
yard, has been consigned by the gov
eminent to either the junkshop or the
flames, says the New York Tribune
She will be replaced by the cruiser
Columbia.
The condemnation of the Vermont is
the result of the investigation made by
the board of surgeons, who reported
that the condition of the vessel was
inimical to the health of her men.
They reported that the interior wood
work of the vessel was water soaked
and teeming with disease germs. and
that in some parts of the ship dry rot
had set in. 1t was from these condi-
lions, the surgeon contended, that Du-
merous cases of contagious diseases re-
suited. In the last six months five
cases of spinal meningitis were traced
to the vessel. For these reasons the
board unanimously favored the aban-
donment Of the ship and Admiral
Crowninshield is said to favor her be-
ing burned.
The Vermont was one of the frigatcs
of the old navy, and when it was taken
to the navy yard several years ago to
be dismantled bore many signs Of the
active part she had borne i'll naval en-
gagements Since her arrival she has
been moOred at the cob dock. In the
last year alone $500 jackies have been
connected with the ship.
The Columbia will not be able to ac
commodate as many men as the Yer
mont and hereafter part Of the men
enlisted at the navy yard will be sta
toned at other yards pending assign
ment to duty.
The Columbia's assignment 10 duty
as a receiving ship is said to be only
temporary.

OF FISH
POISONED IN LEE.
s.vOALS. WITH WALNUT JUICE, HAVE
BEEN AT WORK.
un0drods of Vultures Hover Over the
Streams TO Feast On the Victims of
the Poisoned Water.

The Albany Herald learns from a
Gentleman living in Lee comfy that
T,ndals have been destroying thous
binds of fish in some of the ponds not
i,r from Leesburg. and that good
Ideal of Indignation has been aroused.
As is we'll known To many there are
sone large. Gear water ponds in Lee
oonnty that are famous for the number
|dfsb that live in their waters. Boats
are kept on many of these bodies of
water. which supply the people for
miles around with Dream, perch and
front at certain seasons of the year.
! They always afford good sport for the
angler. and SEEMING parties often take
/ large catches from them.
A.hort time ago it was observed
4 that the fish in several OF the ponds
mentioned were dying in large num-
hers, An investigation showed that
SCI ysD0als had been at work, having pOls-
0Ded he waters for the purpose OF kill
irghe fish, which died in larae num-
s. bE The modus operandi of the mis-
8 ereants was as follows
8 Several bushels of green walnuts
we're gathered and taken 10 the pond
selected for the operation. The hulls
0the walnuts were then pounded into
coarse pulp with some heavy missile,
|carried out into the pond and thrown
Overheard. In u short time the huld
that eXuded from the bruised hulls per-
|meated the waters, and fish OF all sizes
fOated to the surface to gasp and die.
The Herald informant stated that the
parties engaged in the nefariou5 work
then entered the water, gathered up
the largest and choicest fish and left
the others to rot where they lay. He
stated that over and around several OF
the ponds where these operations have
been in progress hundreds of vultures
have lowered for days. Thousands of
fish varying in size from large trout to
dlminutive minnows have died.
A number of prominent and inhuen-
tial parties in Lee county have set on
foot an investigation, and will maxi
every effort to learn the identity Of the
party or parties guilty of the.wholesale
and malicious slaughter of fish. Should
these endeavors prove successful some
body will be pretty apt TO get into
trouble.

NO Ex-RAYS FROM SUN.

No Evidence of Y Rays FOund-Im-
provements In Apparatus.
Letters received from Professor Da-
vid 7. Todd Of Amherst written at
Bangkok, Siam, furnish news of his
endeavor to photograph the recent So
lar eclipse. Professor Todd had two
stations, both of them apart from the
other astronomers who went to the
East Indies. One was on the island of
Sinkap and the other on Lingga.
Clouds prevented observation at the
former point, but % pictures of the CO.
roma were obtained at the latter.
The Amherst astronomer has believ
ed that the sun emitted Y rays from
evidence obtained in Japan in 1896, but
the plates exposed during the whole of
totally in 1901, over six minutes, fail
to show any such form of energy.
One of the things for which Profess
or Todd has long been famous is his
system Of controlling number Of cam
eras automatically during an eclipse,
accurately timing a large number of
exposures. This year he improved his
system in two important details, says
the New York Tribune. Each camera
shutter was operated by a different
drum. all Of the drums being regulated
by one commuter or clock. The cords
whose knots worked the camera shut
tiers, instead of running over pulleys
and downward under the influence of
weights, as at Tripoli. each returned to
it's own drum. Professor Todd thinks
that his apparatus is now practically
perfect, having been developed by
years of trial.

S. and Cuba everything will remain as

This is construed as meaning that the

A MERRY RATE WAR.
Now Is the Time to Visit Central
America.

San Francisco, March 1.-THE Pacific
Mail Steamship company inaugurated
vigorous rate war on freight and pas
senger business between this port and
all intermediate ports between here and
Panama.
Freight rates which have hitherto
ranged from $6 to $12 per ton on ship
ments to and from this port have given
way to fiat rate of So per ton, weight
or measurement. At the same time pas
senger rates have been cut in half.
The other companies in the business
have been forced to accept the same
rates and it is possible still further re-
auctions may be made in the neal,
future. 1t is stated that the rate war
will not affect coffee shipments from
Central America, as the crop for the
preee"+ -~"~on has been pretty Well
cleaned up. s..
