John D. Rockefeller has almost enough money to buy three pounds of radium. It is a great thing to be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.-Los Angeles Times.
 If the general assembly is charged demurrage for the time that it is con- stunning in unloading the freight car of the proposition to repeal the general railroad law the cash register will be deprived of large fraction of its con- tents.-Hartford Post.
 Let's see, this latest $25,OOO,OOO cleanup of gold in Alaska Is just about four times what we paid Russia for the whole Alaskan outfit. And yet we re- call the time when we used to be told that we had got a frozen elephant on our hands up there, and that its out put was nothing but blubber.-New Haven Union.
 That was practical advice that Presi- dent k. N.

Look to your dogs. Every one of those twenty-six stitches taken in a Collinsville child's head is a terrible warning against the safety of the family dog" A Derby man has also had dog-goned experiences and doctors stitches.

lakes Always Frozen.

"There are in the state of Oregon two lakes that are frozen stiff from one years end to another" said F. G. Harper, of Portland. "They were dis covered in Baker county not very long ago by a party on a hunting and fish ing trip in the mountains of the Pan- handle district. After passing through a particularly wild stretch of country the party discovered the lakes on the north summit of one of the mountains in the neighborhood. The lakes are both small, one of them barely 150 feet across. while the other is less than 1000 feet in diameter. Both are cov- cred with a heavy coating of ice, as clear as crystal and as smooth as glass, and of such strength that it held sew eral members of the party who rode across on horseback. It is believed the ice never melts. because the lakes are so situated behind two peaks that the rays of the sun never strike them for ! sufficient length of time to make any impression.'

WHITE WAFER IN THE OCEAN.
Singular Phenomenon With essed at Rare Intervals in tEle TrOp-
 Sical Regions.

Of the many sights witnessed in the oceans of the globe, one of the most curious and most weird is that de- scribed by sailors as "the milky sea-" ships being surrounded for several hours by water that appears to be a snowy whiteness. Compiled from ex- periences recorded during the last TO years, an interesting account of the phenomenon is given on the North At lantic and Mediterranean Pilot Chart. The spectacle is restrict ed to the dark ness of night and rare occasions, and, while it is>limited mainly to the warm CT waters of the tropical belt, it ap- pears to be. more, common in the In- dian ocean than in the Atlantic and Pacific. From the white water the light is so strong that ordinary news paper print can be read on board ship, but the scene all around is of an awe inspiring description. The horizon is plotted out, sea and sky seem to be- come one in-a sort of universal Iumi- nous fog, which, like a London fog, robs the observer of the sense of dis tance and direction, the deck being lit up with ghastly, shad dowless light. Last June off the west coast of South America bucket of the white water emptied back into the sea 0resembled d molten lead. This curious sight has interested scientific Investigators, Dar- win among them; but while it is. no doubt, related to the many phosphor- escent displays common at sea, there is no difficult explanation forthcom- l EYNrN rNF4 h Sk-

Postmaster General Payne is ma

Postmaster General Payne is mak-
 ing q bluff at Investigating the post office department charges made by Tulloch, but from iris motions he hardly will give MT Tulloch an op- portunity to go on the witness stand. He sees what the whole thing is lead ing to and is doing lris best to squelch any further investigation. He is a shrewd politician, was placed in the cabinet as Roosevelt's political guide and counsellor, and it evidently is his belief that a continuance of the inves- tigation will result in serious conse- quences to the administration. Sena- tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- sets, who is the spokesman for Roose- welt on the floor of the senate, evident ly thinks otherwise, for he said the other day after reading in the Wash ington Evening Star defence of A W. Machen, superintendent of free de livery, by Postmaster General Payne
 that Machen would have to go and that his suspension or discharge had been ordered by the president before he left on his western trip; that if the post
 master general did not get rid of Ma chen there would be something doing | in the resignation line in MT Payne's office, and the postmaster genera would be forced out of the cabinet. Nil

NEED OF KINDERGARTEN TRAJNGING
FOR CHILDREN OF THE RICH
By CAROL PURSE oPPENHEIMER.

OF our greatest men; of the beginnings
OF geography brought out in PLAYS.
with springs and rivers, mountains and
Valleys; but surely by now we realize
10 some extent the benefits gained in
the kindergarten alike by the rich and
the poor.
Standing out boldly now before all
OF these, crying aloud for recognition,
is the Kindergarten spirit, which is an
absolute necessity to the majority of
rich children, the spirit which is sell
dom needed by the poor. OF course,
there are large number of happy ex-
ceptions, but as a rule, look at the rich
child in his home: how he is made to
feel his own Importance! Poor little
creature! To go through life with
such morbid thought, even to enter
school bound in such narrow groove,
would mean an endless chain of diff
culties and trials. He is sent to kim
dergarten. With wonder he opens his
eyes when we first realizes that there
are other children equally as impor-
tant as himself. 1t is often a hard les
son, but before long he is led to feel
that after all he is only one of many;
that while his rights will be consider
ed, others also demand attention, and
he knows that he will receive only
w ldL C6lll We ElNSn WIFI Justice 10 dill.
In other words he learns that life is a
circle in which he is an arc; without
his part well done the circle is brok-
en-; without every other part of the
circle he is of use to no one.
Nothing is fair or good alone,
All are needed by each one"
Knowing now the work that may be
accomplished in the years from three
to seven, it does not seem that because
fortune has placed child in a home
of luxury, that child should be deprived
Of privileges that the poor child enjoys
The kindergarten is the foundation
upon which school life should be con-
structed. Surely no one will contend
that because a child is rich he should
not be sent to school. Then why not
send him we'll prepared? Why not
give him just the physical, mental and
spiritual power that will enable him to
go forward to the battle armed with a
sword of knowledge and guarded by a
shield of strength?
Froebel has said with wonderful
beauty, Every child Is a thought of
God" Alas. how often even in the
rich, the enlightened, the most cultured
homes, some blur of dark heredity,
some unseen blemish of environment,
deprives the child to all appearances of
this his substantial right-his spark of
the divine life.
May it be the privilege of the kinder
gartner so to train the children Of to-
day that the men of tomorrow shall
stand before the world, strong in body,
lofty in mind. pure in soul, proclaim
ing by every act and deed, Man is a
thought of God"

GAMBLING ON A STEAMSHIP.
story That "sharpers'' Gathered in
About $4,000,

Robert T. Hill of Washington, D. c.,
says the New York Evening Post, who
said he is connected with the Amer
lean Financial Surety Company of No.
5 Nassau street, New York, to-day
caused the arrest of a man who he
says is a professional gambler and
whose prey is wealthy men who cross
the Atlantic ocean. He told the police
that he believed he had unearthed one
of the biggest swindles on the high
seas that had occurred this year.
When the Kaiser Wilhelm II. land
ed at her dock in Hoboken this MORN
ing Mr.. Hill approached local police
man and requested him to arrest Nor
ris Levry, who is So years of age and
says he is a mining expert and lives
at the Murray Hill Hotel in this city
When Levry came off the ship he was
taken into custody by the policeman
and taken to police headquarters. La
ter he was arraigned before Acting
Recorder Laverty, but the judge
turned the case over to United States
Commissioner Russ. Levry was then
taken before Russ, but the commits
sioner said he had no jurisdiction, and
refused to take the case, sending the
prisoner DdCk again 10 the INcCOIucNs
When the policeman and his prisoner
reached the Recorders Court they
found it was closed, and so the officer
took his man back again to police head
quarters.
Mr.. Hill said there were three men
on the boat one of whom was Levry,
who robbed him in a gambling game
of $3.50. He made formal charge
against Levry at police headquarters
of "swindling on the high seas" He
said there were several other wealthy
men in the party, but they refused to
make any complaint against Levry, as
they disliked the notoriety it would
cause, but Mr.. Hill said that about
500 was lost by himself and the
others to men who are professional
gamblers. He told the police that the
other victims of the sharks were not
inclined to do likewise.
Levry then wanted to make coun-
ter charge against Hill of threatening
and carrying conceded weapons" but
it was not entertained.
When searcheds at police headquar-
ters Levry had only $40 in his posses
sion. He admitted that he had crossed
the ocean four or five times year as
a mining expert"

MILLER MATCHED TO MEET

When Miller was returned the win

The injury to Miller's hand was not

he notified the club that he would be

HIGH DIVING IS DANGEROUS.
Few Have Special Aptitude to In
duIEe with Impunity.


From the New York Times.
Except for those who have an es-
pecial aptitude for it-and there are
few-high diving is a dangerous past
time to indulge in" said New York
diving expert to a reporter the other
day. "a good diver may occasionally
lose his balance. but, being generally
cool-headed, he can regain it, or at any
rate sufficiently so to prevent injury tC
himself. Many of our young men ano
women who go to the seaside in the
summer for the bathing to be had come
away permanently injured for life by
having recklessly INDUCED in high
diving, and few of them, as a rule, are
able to explain how they received their
injuries.
I'm the majority of cases deafness is
the most frequent injury inflicted by
diving. The cause of this is that few
find it easy to drop the head sufficient
ly to get it well between the arms.
The result is they receive some ire
mendous blows on the head, and If the
water is struck a bit sideways the ear
gets most of the conclusion, and the
result will frequently be rupture OF
the membrane of the tympanum. A
good preventive for such an accident is
to place in the ears a little medicated
wool or cotton dipped in oil.
Another injury to health caused fire.
quently by diving arises from getting
large quantities of water into the lungs
The extent of the harm done in cases
of this sort depends on the condition
of the water as to its cleanliness.
have often seen boys at Coney Island
for instant, dive into the water al
places where 1t was absolutely filthy
from the evacuation of drainage into it.
The danger to health, especially tc
those with not overstrong constitutions
can readily be seen. But am digress-
ing. The higher the dive the longer
of course. will be the duration under
water. Now, an inexperienced diver Is
rarely able to hold his breath under
water for more than a second or two
at time, and if the dive is an unusual
" high one he will, in nine cases out
of ten, give up the struggle in trying
to retain his breath, and invariably
too, Just before his head reaches the
surface. The result not infrequently
is that the water that has escaped into
his lungs and stomach is far more than
is good for him, and to many 1t is posi-
lively injurious.
The best thing 1 know of to bring
one quickly to the surface in high div
ing is to have piece or cork Fastened
under each armpit. Corks weighing
four ounces each are sufficiently strong
in buoyancy for a man of $50 pounds
in weight. There are many devices by
which the corks can be kept secured
under the armpits. Perhaps the sim
plest is to sew each cork into tight
fitting canvas or cotton bag and then
again sew each bag on to the bathing
suit by a couple of strands, allowing
the strands to run over the shoulders
Those with weak hearts," the ex-
perts added, cannot be too strongly
advised against high diving. The spring
the rush through space, the break and
the entranced and cleaving Of the
water are altogether too exciting for
weak hearts, and especially so in cold
weather"

long time, and a glance at his record
shows that he is first-class hitter, for
he has won most all of his battles by
knocking his opponents out. He has
beaten Jack Ryan, who disposed OF
Miller In seven rounds some time back,
five times knocking him out, twice in
four rounds and another time in five
rounds. This would give him a look
in with Miller about on form, and
Miller will have to be at his best to
successfully defend and retain the title
of the champion of the South.
Matchmaker Wilson. knowing that
the patrons of the sport in Savannah
want to see good bouts, has been in
communication with a number of first
class boxers. and as the season goes on
these men will be matched as evenly
as possible, and If possible the win
ner will be held over and rematched
with the best man obtainable In his
class, with the hope that he will be
defeated, for this will always keep new
faces before the public, and give them
something to talk about, and at the
same time the winning boxer, knowing
that the club is anxious to keep new
faces before it's patrons.
When bout is fast and the men do
not resort to hugging and waiting
tactics, 1t does not make any differ
ence how long the bout goes, for the
public get what they want, and that is
action. 1t is very firing on the pa
irons nerves who. having gone to see
a fight, are forced to set and watch
two boxers loaf through twenty
rounds, neither one trying to force
matters and both men acting as IL
they had but one thing in view and
that was to have the bout declared q
draw.
Posers of this kind are not a benefit
to any club and those who work in
that line will make but one appear
ance in the ring of the Savannah Ath-
letic Club, and then they will have to
fold up their tents and hunt for pas
lures new where the people will stand
for that kind of a game. The referea
of the club will be instructed to noti-
fy all boxers when them come to the
center for their final instructions, that
they are there to fight and not box.
and if they don't they will be dis
qualified and forfeit all claims to
their share of the receipts.

as good material as any we ever had.
Moore, from Bolton, is one of them, and
there are others who should help us out
in filling up the gaps caused by loss
of last seasons stars. We have decid-
ed to begin practice on Sept. 20, two
days before school opens. when we VIII
line up for the first time. Billy Rey-
nolds will report a few days ahead of
this time to get a line on the work be-
fore him, and Capt. Frank Ridley will
run over and help us out. We VIII
play our first game Oct. 2 with the
Georgia Tech squad of Atlanta. Mer-
Ger will be our opponents during the
State Fair at Macon"
VIII Miss the stars.
Georgia will greatly miss the serv-
ices of the stars who graduated last
season. Frank Ridley's place at end
will be hard to fill, while the loss of
little Monahan is almost irreparable.
The positions now vacant will be one
guards, both tackles, an end, quarter
and full back.
While Georgia is laying plans for
the coming campaign Mercer and the
Tech have not been idle. Tech has al
ready secured the services of a compe-
tent coach in the person of Mr.. HUE,
while Mercer is after the services of
Andre, a last season coach of the
Tech team, and likewise overtures have
been made to secure Mike Harvey, the
old Auburn tackle.
Schedule for University.
Manager Miller has announced the
schedule for the varsity team games
during the fall. According to it, three
games will be played in Atlanta. The
Athens men will meet the Techs there
on Oct. "a, Vanderbilt on Oct. 81, and
will, of course, play the annual game
with Auburn there on Thanksgiving
Day.
The complete schedule is as follows:
Oct 10-Clemson; at Athens.
Oct 17-Mercer, at Macon.
Oct. ARCHAEOLOGICAL School, at At
