Of the concern saw possibilities Of de-

and decided to make the business a
banking one. To retain the privilege,
however, it was necessary to manufac-
ture chemicals, and so then, as today,
an admirable pretense was made Of do
ing this. In the fine establishment Of
the great Chemical National bank on

THE "WAVE MEkE."
Graceful and Refined Dance Per-
formed by Fijiaa lta1dcns.

Graceful and Refined Dance Per-
formed by Fijiaa Maidens.
"71,he F!jian natives call their dances
'mekes,' anG the best Of them all is the
wave mckee says a traveller who has
witnessed these graceful evolutions.
"a lot Of pretty girls, in two or three
rows, act the movements of the sea az
It rolls in upon the reefs.
"First Of all, they bend down in uni
son and sweep the ground slowly with
their hands, waving their fingers in or
der to represent the little Wavelets
fecked by the wind. Then they sway
their bodies to and fro to show the long
roll Of the tropical wave, and presently
their figures rise and fall as do the
breakers. The action Of the dance be-
comes more and more violent. The
wave Is dashing up the barrier reef.
The girls spring forward and clap their
hands and then drop to the ground
with a long musical cry. The wave
has surmounted the reef and empted
itself into the CLASSY lagoon. The dance
is over.
every movement Of the wave
meke' is graceful and refined. The best
ballet girls in your American theaters
are not better trained than these young
Fijian maidens, who spend a good half
of their happy, careless, lazy lives
dancing their 'mekes' or playing in the
surf. There are no finer dancers In the
world Nearly all their ballets describe
the scenes around them or the Incl
dents Of their daily life. Other 'mekes
picture the palms swaying in the
breeze, the canoes tossing in a gale and
the clouds sailing across the sky

Why Corn Pops.

Finally a scientific sharp comes to
our rescue and in science explains the
phenomenon of the popping Of pop
corn in an extremely lucid and interest
ing manner. The learned gentleman
says:
"The starch polygons are Of such ma
trlre and construction as to facilitate
expansion and render 1t explosive IN
character. There is q fracture Of a
particle along its two radii, the endo-
sperm swelling very considerably, the
paripheral portions cohering with the

PASSES AWAY.
A Sweet-Spirited Woman
Takes Her Departure
To a Fairer Cline.

On Thursday afternoon, quarter of
two O'Clock, October 22nd, the gentle
spirit of Mrs Julia A. DuPre left its
tenement of clay and entered the man
siOns of rest in the eternal city of God.
She had been great, but patient,
sufferer for many weary amonths and
the dissolution of body'>and soul was
relief to her, though sad and sorrowful
to her loved ones.

She was member of the Presby-
terrain church and lived n consistent
Christian life. She was one of the pur-
est and best women we ever knew, with
heart overlooking with love and SYM
pathy for those in distress and aff1ic-
ton. Her generous hand he's bestowed
many gifts to the needy, and Der kind
ly greeting was always in evidence.
Her death is source of deep regret
and grief to all who were fortunate
enough to know her.

A BAD WRECK
NEAR BOLTON,
Fireman Tom COllum, of
TiIton, Killed and
Several Hurt.

In a terrific head-end collision be-
tween through freight train No. s and
local freight No. Z, of the Western &
Atlantic road, near Bolton, last Satur-
day night Fireman Tom Oollum, of the
through train lost his life, and three
Others of the crews of the. wrecked
trains were seriously injured.
w. L. Townsend, brakeman, crushed
between the engine and the coal from
the tender.
William Miller, engineer of No. s.
badly bruised and suffering with a
number of painful contusious.
James Heggie, engineer of local No.
z, bruised and scratched.
Several other members of the crews
of the two trains received more or less
severe bruises and shakings up.
The wreck occurred about s O'Clock
a point half way between Tigert signal
and south switch, just out of Bolton,
6 miles from tlanta, on the main line
of the Western & Atlantic, from At
lanta to Chattanooga.
Thirteen cars and both engines were
totally demolished, and their frag-
ments we're scattered all about the
scene of the collision.
Fireman Tom ColIum vas young
man, about twenty-three years old .
and was unmarried. His home was at
Tilton, and he has several brothers,
John, Ed and James, engaged in the
railroad business. He had been with
the Western & Atlantic about two
years, and was trusted and valued
man, who had many friends, both in
the railway service and at other places,
where he was known and liked.
The manner of the fireman's death
was horrible in the extreme. From
the position in which he was found and
the nature of his injuries it is said by
witnesses that he was in the act of
leaping from the fast freight when the
impact of the engines coming together
threw the tender of his engine against
his body, pinning him between. it and
the rear of the engine. One of his
legs was torn off close to the body, and
he was otherwise crushed in manner
that left no doubt that his death was
practically instantaneous.
There were no trains running Satur-
day night and Sunday morning on ac-
count of the wreck, and travel was not
resumed until Sunday afternoon.
