REWSOME FIND.
Fisherman Pull a Human Head
from the OgeeChee River,

The GlasscocK Banner says that
while fishing on the Ogeechee river
Mr.. j. D. johnson happened to strange
and odd luck. Mr.. Johnson says that
while fishing away with no thought of
bringing up anything but a great
number of fishes his hook hung TO
something very heavy. Mr.. Johnson,
thinking that it was chunk or turtle
and would break his hook, pulled very
slowly. But when the weight came
to sight he found it to be the head of
a human being. Mr.. Johnson is quite
sure that the head was that of a color
ed person. The flesh was in such a
state of decay that before it could be
reached it fell back into the water.
Search was made for some time, but
the head could rot be caught any
more. There is no clue to the mys-
tery.

TESTS FOR AUTOMOBILES.
at High Speed Show
How Quick They Can Stop.

A series of interesting tests in show
ing the rapidity with which an auto
mobile could be stopped were given
the other day at Riverside drive and
One Hundred and Ninth street, in New
York. The event was held under the
auspices of the Automobile Club of
America, and besides the automobiles
tests of quick stopping were made with
horse drawn vehicles. says the New
York Times. Most prominent of the
latter was Harry Payne Whitney's four
finland coach, which, driven at the
rate of 1853 miles an hour. was stopped
in II feet inches. A victoria going at
1873 miles an hour was stopped in 81
feet.
One of the best stops of automobiles
was made by Wallace Owens gasoline
carriage, which, in the twenty mile test.
stopped in half an inch under 80 feet.

Wood is the Newest Food.

Heinrich Reh, Berlin chemist. mas
secured a patent upon a form OF AMI
NAL fodder which has sawdust as its
chief ingredient. He argues that ami
mails have decided liking for young
shoots. roots of shrubs, tree bark and
other heavy food of the same nature,
and, since experiments have proved
that the nusriment contained in such
growth remains in it even after it has
become wood, he observes that with a
little salt and water added to it the
sawdust will prove to be highly nour-
fishing diet. He has the statistics to
prove it. Pine, birch, poplar, alder,
acacia, beech and walnut woods and
straw have been analysed chemically
by him, and he finds that the wood
has vastly more albumen, nitrogen and
fatty substance than the straw. The
inventor claims that "a very cheap cat
tie food can be prepared in this man.

HOPE FOR THE NEW ROAD.
B. s. B. May Be Built Through
Columbus.

A Columbus, Ca, special says: The
news that the route of the brunswick
& Birmi ngham railway has been de-
termined no farther than Pbilema,
Ca. gives rise to renewed hope in &C.
lumbus that that road will be Quilt
through this city, as Columbus is al
most on an air line from Philema 20
Birmingham.
Philema is on the Albany and
Northern railroad, between Albany
and Cordele, and is on the east bank of
the Flint river. Philema is almost on
a straight line between Brunswick and
Eufaula. AS the crow flies it is about
70 miles from Columbus and about 20
miles from Eufaula. Columbus is al
most an air line from Philema to Bir-
mingham. Eufaula is not. A straight
line from Philema into Albany, via Eu-
faula would go through middle Ala
bama, passing near Montgomery. The
Columbus route would, therefore, APP
pear to be the most logical route
for the Brunswick and Birmingham.
1t is confidently expected that trains
over the Brunswick and Birmingham
will be in operation into Offerman,
Ca, from Brunswick by July l. Offer.
man is point on the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western railway. The deal
for the Offermau and Western, from
Offerman to Nichols, has been closed.
This will carry the Brunswick and
Birmingham as far west as Coffee
county. 1t is understood that the
Brunswick and Birmingham will short
ly get possession of the Ocilla and Ir-
winville railroad. The gap from Mich
OILS to Ocilla will then be built out and
will throw the Brunswick and Biz
mingham as far as IrwinYille. From
Irwinville the route has been mapped
out as far as Philema-and no farther.
Whether the road will continue due
west and strike Eufaula, or turn slight
ly to the northwest and go on a
straight line to Birmingham, via Co
lumbus, is a question. No official an
nouncement has been made regarding
the favored route beyond Philema,
and statements that the road will go
via either Eufaula or Columbus are
merely surmise.
1t is stated officially and unequivo-
cally that the Brunswick and Birming-
ham will be built TO Birmingham,
Ala, and that the promoters of the en-
terprise will not stop until it is com
pleted there The immediate work,
the extension to Offerman. Ca. is to
be pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible. Steel rails have been distrib-
uted along the route, and large force
of hands is at work.

"MARINE OAK" THE LATEST.
Bachelors Dens Fitted Up to Re
sembIe Board Ship Cabins.

The latest conceit in den furniture,
according to the Washington Post, is
marine oak" Neat and coy looking
little cabinets, cases, closets, ETC., are
now being placed on the market by
manufacturers of artistic furniture that
are as close an imitation of the furni-
ture of the cabins and the forecastles
Of sailing vessels as it is possible to
make them. They are made Of the best
oak and stained with pigment which
the furniture men have lately discover
ed that gives the wood that peculiar
yellowish color wrought by the damp
sea air on oak furniture.
These curious and handy little cases
and cabinets are equipped with rusty
locks, hinges, keys and chairs that
complete the tout ensemble of board
ship furniture. With furniture Of this
kind a bachelor can fix up his room SO
that it will resemble in every detail the
cabin of sailing vessel.

BEEF TRUSTS KNOCKEDOUT
Packers Have Been Staggered by Refusal
of People to Buy Meat.

The business of the Chicago packers
has been staggered by the refusal of
the people of the country 10 eat meat
at the prevailing high prices, accord
to The Chicago Chronicle.
The demand for dressed meats in the
last few days has fallen off 1873 per
cent. and the discharge of men in the
packing houses is general.
According TO admissions of promi-
nent packers this alarming condition
prevails all over the yards. In nearly
all the big plants large numbers OF
men are being laid off and the packing
business is in state of decentralization
such as it has not experienced in
years.
The shipments of dressed beef from
the yards have so decreased during
the last ten days that cars are piling
I'D in the railroad yards.
Shipments of cattle have been cur
tailed by the packers and every branch
of the great industry is suffering from
the present critical situation. The
only hope for restoration is in cutting
the prices.

POWERFUL WAR AUTO CAR.
Machine for Road and Rail to
Garry Three Guns.

Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim have
ordered from the inventor Mr.. Fred
erick Simms, an experimental armOr
protected road and rail motor car, says
the New York Herald. This car was
formally exhibited by Mr.. Simms on
the terrace of the Crystal palace, Lon
don. Mr.. Simms has designed a really
powerful motor carriage, with a frame
suited to support the weight of heavy
armor protection. This frame is rec
tangular and constructed Of heavy
steel channels. Careful study has been
given in order to combine in the ma
chine the greatest strength with the
minimum of weight. The idea is that
the car should be substantial enough
to support II necessary a weight of
twelve tons, but it is not anticipated
that it will often be called upon to car
~ more than six tons. The engine
which supplies the motive power is
sixteen horsepower four cylinder n.y.
drocarbon engine Of the Daimler type,
with the Simms-Bosch magnetic electric
ignition and timing gear. The fuel burn
ed is petrol, for which tanks are sup
Piled underneath the main frame, capa-
BILE of giving the car run of 200 miles.
The speed gear is on the COnnstatt
principle, with four definite speeds
/. e., one and a half, three, five and
nine miles per hour. But on an
emergency, by means Of the acceler-
ator, these speeds can be increased 25
per cent The steering gear is of the
Ackermann type, controlled by hand
wheel. The diameter of the driving
wheels is feet and the width of the
tire for road work 6 inches. The di-
ameter of the steering wheel is feet,
with a tire of 31b inches. Thus it will
be seen that for road work or traction
Mr.. Simms has designed car of use
full power. To make it Serviceable
war machine he has developed it in an
outer screen of Vfckers steel armor. The
armor itself is of crinoline shape and is
provided with ram at each end. The
extreme length Of the armor, which is
eighteen inches off the ground, from
point to point of the rams is twenty
eight feet The extreme beam is eight
feet and the height ten feet. The car,
therefore, presents the appearance of
the stripped hull of a man-ofwar in
miniature. 1t is equipped with two
pompoms and two Maxims on ships
mountings. 1t can carry 10000 rounds
of small arm ammunition, and the car
has also, at pinch, carrying capacity
for twenty men.
