SHIPMENTS ON DECREASE NOW

Season in South Georgia WeIluigh
Ended.
Very few shipments of fruit, either
melons, pears or peaches, are leaving
Americas this week. In fact, the
shipping season here is about ended,
and the same may be said of the Fort
Valley district, from which hundreds
of carloads have gone forward. The
north Georgia peach crop is being
moved now, but even this will be ended
within a week. Gaorgia's fruit this
year has brought more than million
and half dollars to Georgia people
and thus proved one of the greatest
crops ever grown here.

While Georgia boasts but one first

many new bales are bobbing up else

reason farmers here do not care to in
cur the trouble and expense of getting
out first bale. On several farms near
Americas cotton is opening rapidly,
and bale might have been brought

to pick the scattered hollis. A week or

Berlin According to a German exchange.
the assistant Of the University Clinic of the
Royal Charity Hospital. DR.. Walther
Thorner. has succeeded in solving prob
lem which had received much attention
from many others before him. but with
little or no success. He has managed to
photograph the background Of the eye and
obtain good pictures Of 1t. too. His in
vention represents material improvement
on the ophthalmoscope invented by Heinz
hoItz in 1850. The latter. however only
admitted of viewing the background of the
eye.
The fact that all attempts to photograph
the interior or the background Of the eye
had remained fruitless so far. was due to
the peculiar construction of the eye. 1t is
difficult to light up the interior to such an
extent as to enable one to take photo
graph OF II. and even in the use Of strong
sources Of light the exposure would re-
quire so much time that the eye would
have to be fixed. which would mean great
Inconvenience to the patient. Now DR..
Thorner has constructed an apparatus with
which he first succeeded in photographing
the eyes Of animals. especially cats.

EARLY JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA
Case in Which Expression eff This
Court Knows Herself" Was First Used

From the Kansas City Journal.
A Pike county Missourian is credited with
having first used the expression: II this
court knows herself, and she thinks she
do"
Long before the discovery of gold IN Cali
fornia Pike county boy named Blackburn.
so 1t is said, ran away from home and went
to the Rocky Mountains, where he grew to
manhood as Indian fighter, hunter. trapper
and mountain guide He became six feet
four inches tall. proportiorately thin. and
marvelously awkward. He had many en-
counters with grizzlies and Indians. He
vas SCARED from head to foot. one eye
had been partly gouged out, his hair was
thin and coarse, and stood straight up on
top Of his head and hung In every direc-
ton from the sides. Blackburn. as might
be supposed, was not an educated man. but
he was not lacking in keen wit and sound
serse.
When gold was discovered Blackburn
went to the mines. and the miners, as
sort of joke. elected him alcalde, an of1ce
similar to that Of justice Of the peace. the
first case brought before the alcalde was
that of gambler who, while drunk and on
horseback, had run over young mexican
woman, knocking her down ana seriously
irjuring her. The trial took place In the
largest cabin In the neighborhood. which
was packed with roughly dressed. much be-
whiskered men. The gambler, who was
rich. hired able counsel to defend him.
Alcalde Blackburn called the young wo-
man, who told her story in broken Eng
lish, but frankly and honestly. When she
finished the alcalde peremptorily enoeo tue
trial. The attorney for the defendant pro-
tested vehemently. but the alcalde ran his
hand through his hair until it stood up
straighter on top than ever and remarked:
IF this court knows herself. and sne
think she do. fine you $500 damages and
assess upon you the costs of putin this
we're gal in good condition.
When asked what he meant by good con,
dition." he replied that the 'gamblin' chap
must nav the doctors bill and all other
costs of the women's illness. A more
learned Judge might have made more FOR

Sterilized Milk.
From the Medical Bulletin.

From the Medical Bulletin
The food intended by nature for the
nourishment and support of the infant IL
its mothers milk. In the failure of this
supply the best practical source-setting
aside the question OF wetnurses-is cows
milk. The fluid must, however, be free
from gross and avoidable impurities. Our
need is for a reasonably pure milk. and
not for one which Is full OF germs and re-
quires sterilization. The presence Of putre-
factive and specific bacteria spells a milk
beyond all possibility OF sterilization
Our true hope lies not in the direction
of sterilization of inferior or contaminated
milk, but in the rigid execution of laws re-
garding the milk traffic from Its origin on
the farm to its destination-the city con-
sumner. Every step OF the progress should
be carefully and intelligently supervised.
Scrupulous watchfulness on the part of
city and state would render unnecessary
recourse to methods that are fraught with
danger. A campaign of education should
be carried on along these lines The facili-
ties for securing pure milk at the diaries
are not necessarily expensive. 1t Is event.
ually to the financial interest of the dairy
men to interest themselves in this subject,
for superior grades of milk command q

Spots on the Animals Fur.

From success.
Although we are told that the leopard
cannot change his spots. 1t Is certain that
the markings on the fur Of some animals
do change. Especially Is this true where
the animal has distinctive winter coat.
This change has been studied by Barrett
Hamilton. British naturalist. who is OF
opinion that whitening OF the fur gem
orally accompanies development OF fatty
tissue. which Is manifestation OF in
suficient oxidation. and hence OF atrophy,
which shows itself In whitening OF the
hair In some animals-man. for instance
this atrophy is manifested by badness.
That Eat men are often bald IL thus some
thing more than co-incidence.

WAR IN THE FAR EAST.
Military Correspondent of London
Paper Tells of Jap Operations.

The Times military correspondent, writ
ing from the Yalu May s, says:
To-day 1 examined the trophies captured
by the Japanese from the Russians The
field guns nHmber twenty-one, and are all
OF the best patterns. dated 1901 and 1902.
The total Of twenty-nine originally tele-
graphed was made up by the addition of
eight Maxims. A great quantity Of gun
and rifle ammunition, number of am
munition wagons, 1900 rifles. saddlery, In
trenchment tools, clothing and brass band
instruments riddled by bullets were also
taken.
Il visited the prisoners, who. by strange
irony, are Poles from Warsaw, taken at
Hohmutang when covering the Russian
retirement. Those in the hospital are most
carefully tended Their lodging Is superior
to that OF the japanese wounded. The Jap
anese guards fraternize with their charges
and show an active sympathy spending
their microscopic pay on cigarettes for the
prisoners.

Heroic Incideat by Japs in Battle.
"a heroic incident of the battle was fur
nished by a lcomnany Of Japanese reserves
in pursuit OF thee Russians. They arrived
two hours before their comrades and found
themselves ID the rear OF the enemy. They
were Immediately attacked. but fought un-
til only one officer and half the company
were left. When their ammunition was
exhausted, they liked their bayonets and
preparing to charge. preferring death to sur
render. The .opp0rtune arrival of the main
body of the reserves altered the situation.
1.-TWO gunboats,T two torpedo boats and
four other armed vessels assisted the jap
arese operations by demonstrations on
the lower river. Based on the Yongampo
movements. these vessels promoted the Idea
that It was the Japanese intention to cross
the Yalu near Antnng.
Russians Missed an Opportunity.
..The Russians had one great opportunity.
which they neglected. On the night OF
April 20 one division Of tho Japanese army
was ON one side Of the river separated
from the other two. Had the Russians
kept more tenacious hold on Tiger Hin
they might have inflicted at that moment
serious blow to the Japanese army What
constitutes the greatest triumph for the
Japanese is the fact that their tactics en-
abled them to defeat and practically rout
an army OF about 20.O00 men by attacking
one quarter OF their number.
