HEAVY GUST OF WIND
FOLLOWED BY SHOWER,
Hurled Dust in binding Sheets
Through the Streets.

IN SheCtS
Through the Streets.
Shortly after o'clock FAST night,
and almost without an instant's warn
ing, heavy gust of wind rushed over
the city.
The dust from the streets was caught
up and hurled in circling sheets every
where. and it was almost impossible
to keep the eyes open owing to the
whirling dirt.
The strength of the wind carried the
dust and the stray bits of paper, which
were scattered here and there about
the streets, high into the air, the dust
entering the windows in the third and
fourth stories of a number of buildings
This wind lasted for a minute or two
only, and then it began raining.
The thunder storm, accompanied by
bright flashes of lightning and heavy
claps of thunder, lasted for only about
fifteen minutes and then the skies
cleared completely. The rainfall was
fairly heavy for the first few minutes
of the shower and then turned to a
slight drizzle, which finally cleared en-
tirely.

sunday ViOlators.

There will be a conference this after
noon between the special committee
from the Retail Merchants Association
and Attorney Jacob Gazan relative to
the alleged Sunday violations of the
law. The association contends that nu-
merous storekeepers have their places
of business open on the Sabbath and
sell goods just the same as on any 9TH
er day.
For some time the association has
been trying to break up the practice.
Evidence was secured against several
Of the Sunday Violators, but the grand
jury refused to find true bills. The
merchants are now going to prosecute
the offenders regardless of the grand
jury. Some method will be determined
upon for catching and Furnishing the
Sunday violators. 1t will probably be
decided to take out warrants and turn
the offenders over to the City Court.

PEACHES FROM TREES
BUT TWO YEARS OLD.
Maj. RyaIs Expects TO ship His Ell
bertas About July 1.

Maj. G.. NJ. Ryals yesterday received
a shipment of Carmen peaches from
his peach farm at Ty Ty.
He regarded the fruit, which was
large and luscious, as remarkable, in
that it was produced by trees that
were set out in the field in February,
1908, being then June buds. This means
that the trees are bearing prolincaly
when but two years old.
Il have known" said Mai. Ryals, OF
peaches being gathered from 2-year-old
trees, but never before have l known
of their being gathered for shipment
in large quantities. Usually tree but
two years old will yield only a peach
here and there, and those not the best
in either size or quality
The Carmen peaches, like all the rest
Mai. Ryals has observed on his farm
this season. are healthful. He antici-
pates a full crop from his several va
rieties and expects TO begin the ship
ment of Elbertas. the staple peach of
the Georgia growers, about July /.

Sixteenth Century Manners.

In all old book published in the six.
teenth century and entitled THE Ac.
compiished Lady's Rich Closet: or, In.
genious Gentlewoman's Delightful
Companion" it is written:
"A gentlewoman being at table must
observe, TO keep her body straight and
lean MOI by any means with her elbows
nor by ravenous gesture discover vo-
racious appetite. Talk not when you
have meat in your mouth and do not
smack Ike a pig nor venture to eat
spoon meat so hot that the tears stand
in your eyes. which Is as unseemly as
the gentlewoman who pretended to
have as little Il stomach as she had a
mouth and therefore would not syal-
low her pens by spoonful, but took
them one by one and cut them in two
before she would eat them. 1t Is very
unseemly to drink so large draft that
your breath is almost gone and you
are forced 20 blow strongly to recover
yourself. In carving 1T your own table
distribute the best PIECES first, and it
will appear very comely and decent to
use a fork, SO touch no piece of meat
without it,

Imitation In Animals.

Some animals have wonderful pow
ers of imitation. Dogs brought up in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick of licking the paws
and then washing the face. When a
cat has been taught to sit up for her
food her kittens have been known to
initiate her action. Darwin tells OF q
cat that was in the habit of putting
her paw into the mouth Of narrow
milk pitcher every time she got the
chance and then licking the cream off
her paw. Her kitten soon learned the
same trick. A lady tells of rabbit
that she keeps in a cage with mon
key and says that Bunnie has caught
many Of the monkeys ways. 1t Is said
that starving pigeons that have been
brought up on grain will not eat peas
to save their lives. but that II pea eat
ing pigeons are put with them they
follow their example and cat peas.

Science and Human Sense Organs.

DIR. Carl Snyder says IN the Ameri-
can Inventor, while pointing out the
inferiority of human sense organs to
the instruments of science, that, where
as the human eye can see only little
more than 1900 stars in the heavens
ON the clearest of nights, the photo
graphic plate and the telescope can dis
Germ countless millions. The eye II a
good one can perceive measure OF
one two-hundredth of an inch. The
microscope makes an object one ten
thousandth of an inch look compare
lively large To hear the footsteps Of a
fly seems inconceivable; but, assisted
by the microphone, the tread of that
insect sounds like the tramp of cav
airy. The most sensitive skin cannot
detect change In temperature of less
than one-ffth of Il degree, but the bo-
lometer will register on Il scale an in
crease or decrease of temperature of
one one-millionth Of n degree and can
discern the difference in temperature
In a room when match is lighted.

WHY ICE STAYS ON TOP.



1t is one of the most extraordinary
things in this extraordinary world,
writes II enry Martyr Hart in the Out
look, that water should be the sole ex-
ception to the otherwise universal Jaw
that all cooling bodies contract and
therefore increase in density.
Water contracts as its temperature
falls and therefore becomes heavier
and sinks until 1t reaches 80 degrees.
At this temperature water Is the heav-
lest. This Is the point of its maximum
density. From this point it begins to
expand. Therefore in winter, although
the surface may be freezing at tenn
perature of 80 degrees, the water at
the bottom of the pool Is six or seven
degrees warmer.
Suppose that water, like everything
else, bad gone en- contracting as II
cooled until it reached the freezing
point. The heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be-
come ice. Although it IS true that
eight pints of water become nine phlts
of ice, and therefore icebergs float,
showing above the surface an eighth
Of their bulk, still had the water when
at the bottom turned into Ice the
stones would have locked it In their
interstices and held 1t there, and before
the winter was over the whole pool
would become solid ice, and all the poor
fish would be ento1nbed in clear, beau
tiful crystal.
