Atlanta, Nov 9.-With Atlanta al
ready in the running it looks as If
there will be several strong competit-
ors for the next State Fair in 1905.
Directors of the State Agricultural So
ciety feel assured that Savannah is go
ing to make good bid for the fair,
and it is thought also that Macon and
Valdosta will lay claim to it.
Hon. Dudley Hughes of Danvllle,
Twiggs county, president of the State
Agricultural Society, appears to be
anxious that Atlanta shall have the
next fair. AS the result of some cor
respondence between himself and
George w. Parrott of this city a meet
ing of fifty prominent Atlanta business
men was held, and committee Of
seven Atlantans will be appointed to
continue the correspondence with Mr.
Hughes.
$4,000 Fund.
Those who attended the meeting
stated they felt sure that fund of
$4,000 could be raised between now and
February, the, time at which the Exec
utive Committee of the State Agricul-
tural Society will take up the matter
of locating the next State Fair. An
effort will also be made to secure the

proposed government appropriation of
$4,000 for a cattle exhibit in this sec
ton, to be used in connection with the
next Georgia State Fair.
Those who are familiar with the sit
uation do not believe that $4,000 will
get the next State Fair. 1t is the gen
eral belief that there will be some
strong competition and that high fig
ures will be the result.
Says Savannah VIII Make Good
Ofer.
II know that Savannah wants the
next State Fair" said Hon. Martin V.
Calvin, one of the Executive Commit
tee, in discussing the matter to-day.
And I am satisfied, too that Savdn-
nah is going to make good offer for
it.
Il think we are going to require the
competitors for the fair next year."
Mr.. Calvin continued, ito come be-
fore the committee prepared to sign
the contract as soon as the committee
is ready to award it. And another
thing l am pretty sure of is that the
State Agricultural Society will want
little more authority and little more
to do with the management of the fair
than has been the case heretofore.
Next years fair is going to be a good
one, whoever gets it, for we are going
to begin to work right now for it's sue

CREATURES THAT LIVE
IN ETERNAL DARKNESS.
Strange ERects OF the Life in the
Habits of Such Creatures.

Strange Effects of the Life in the
Habits of Such Creatures.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The cavern beetle was first discover
ed some seventy years ago in an Aus
trian cave, the erotto of Adelsberg
One specimen only was caught, and,
though its discoverer offered d prize
of G5 for another 1t was fourteen
years before a. second was found.
The cavern beetle has a little round
body, very long legs, and absolutely no
eyes at all. Brought out from it's
gloomy haunts into the light OF the
sun it dies almost Immediately. Yet
in its pitchdark home far beneath the
surface of the earth II moves with as
great ra pidity and certainty as any of
its eyed relatives on the upper soil.
To make up for It's lack OF sight, It
is provided with antennae Of extraor-
binary length and delicacy. BY means
of these il feels its way over the rough
surface of the stone and hunts its prey
other smaller blind insects-with
great rapidity and absolute certainty.
The cavern beetle has it's enemies.
The blothrus "a species of scorpion) and
the great eyeless spider hunt Il re-
inorselessly. Prince Khevenhuller, who
thoroughly explored these caves some
years ago, describes II as e. most eX-
traordinary sight to watch by the
light of candle a scorpion, absolute
ly eyeless, hunting a beetle equally
bind along the cavern wall. Although
the beetle was several feet IN front
OF the scorpion, and divided from II by
a assure IN the rock. yet the scorpion
tracked II with absolute and almost
appalling certainty.
The spider found IN these caves Is
Of 4 lovely ivory white. and is able
like the other insects which inhabit
the same subterranean depths, to run
very rapidly, and find It's way with
as positive certainty as II II had eyes
and light to use them. Like several OF
the others, H. too, pershes II taken
out Of the cave. Sunlight seems To
wither and shrivel up these insects
just as though they had been placed in
front OF hot fire.
Yet, IN spite Of this fact, Il Is known
that the blind cave creatures lived IN
the light Of day.
An extraordinary proof OF this Is that
though no faintest ray marks the dlf.
ference between day and darkness HI
the depths they live in. yet Il has been
nscertained beyond shadow Of doubt
that those whose ancestors were noe
tufal in their habits Ftili prefer 70 move

ply for some new fish hatcheries. Al
a depth of 1888 feet a great stream Of
water was struck. which shot up at
the rate of 1900 gallons a minute. With
it came thousands of tiny, shrimp
like creatures, and also a large num-
Der of curious little, pale-colored rep
tiles, provided with long tails, and
each having four legs. These tiny mon
sters were absolutely eyeless. The
only trace that they ever possessed
such organ are two little black spots
above the nostrils.
A similar creature known as the olm.
inhabits the rivers in the Austrian
caves already mentioned. Down in the
depths of the Planina cave, nearly
mile and half from the entrance, the
ohm is most abundant The waters
are fairly alive with them, and when,
some years ago. the Archduke Ferdi-
nand paid a visit to this cave, net
was let down, and a number of the
little reptiles caught for his benefit.

The board suggests that the new bat
tleships shall be of the general type of

the navy nine first-class battieships

Great speed is urged as the feature
