Mozart had memory for music and
for nothing else On attending the
papal mass at the Sistipe chapel he
was greatly impressed with the mu-
sical service and asked for a copy, but
was told none could be given him, as
the music was not allowed to go out.
He went to the next service, listened
sttentvely, went away and wrote down
the whole from memory. When Don
Giovanni was first performed, there
was not time to copy part for the
harpsichOrd, so Mozart conducted the
entire opera. about three hours long.
and played harpsichord accompani-
ment to the songs and choruses with
out a note Of music to assist his mem
ory.

MAKES STEEL FOR
THE WHOLE WORLD.
The United States Produces One
Third Of Entire Productions.

The United States makes more
than one-third of the worlds ell
tire production of steel. G. P.
Blackiston, iron and steel expert
in his STORY of the Steel Indus
try, running serially in the
Techanical World Magazine, says:
THE United States makes more
than one-third of the worlds pro-
duction of steel-ffteen millions
out of total of fthirty-six and one
half millions of tons; it is the rich.
est and most prosperous among the
nations. The two statements are
complimentary, Germany comes
second, with an annual production
OF 100000 tons; and England
third, with 5000, 900 tons.
The $50 steel works scattered
throughout the United States rep
resent a total investment of over
S442, 900, 900, and pay sos, 600, 900
annually in wages. The figures
cover only actual production of
steel in its crude form, a process
in which man has rapidly been
superseded by the marvellous and
all but human machines. The
magnitude of the industry in its
entirety, representing a capital of
billions and employing millions of
wage-earners. may therefore be
imagined" "
Mr.. Blackiston is nephew of
Congressman George A. Pearre.

Jesus Calling Fishermen

Jesus Calling Fishermen
There was no need to ring bell
to secure Jesus an audience.
People flew to Him like filings to
a magnet. In this instance it is
said the people pressed on Him to
hear. The little company who
first discovered Him on His early
morning walk by the lake, quickly
grew to a great concourse. The
Masters fertility in expedients
had another illustration. 1t only
took Him a moment to convert
boat into a pulpit. The scene
makes theme for an artist. The
lake beneath, the sky above, the
nine considerable cities on the hill
slopes, looking down like distant
observers; the mixed multitude
crowding to the edge of the shore,
their faces mirrored in the water
at their feet, and in the fisherman 5
boat screened by the loosened sail,
the prince of all preachers speak
ing from the bosom of the placid
lake, itself an emblem Of the peace
He could give. But the
sermon was only an incident. His
real errand that morning was to
call His Apostles. He had already
given them what might be called
preliminary or probationary calls.
From these the disciples were af-
terward dismissed to attend to
their worldly affairs, and while
doing So, in their old and familiar
environments, and free from excite
ment of novel situations to think
on what thev had heard and seen.
The calls were also progressive.
But this one was final. Jesus had
had an open rupture with the &c
Clesiastical establishment. He
must needs now organize His fol-
lowers. He knew where His
pledged men were, and came to en-
list them for active service.
He prefaced the call by a thrilling
pictorial miracle. Nothing could
have more significantly taught
them what they were to be and do.
The command, Launch forth in
to the deep, and let down your net
for draught, was a surprise.
But hesitation, lif there was any,
was momentary. Peter quickly
laid all his fsherman's lore at Te-
sus' feet as a sacrifice to his faith
That last "catch" after
the old order was a symbol of the
future occupation. The size of the
take" was pledge of future sue
cess in the new calling. That mir
acle took Peter and his comrades
where they were, in their natural
environment and everyday en-
ployment. 1t was all the more sig |
to them, the better under
stood and appreciated. 81
The considerateness of Jesus in
thus encouraging His disciples is
characteristics and worthy of note.
He was asking these men to Join
their fortunes with His, an excom- |
munlcated man. to sunder ties of
tribe and family, to abandon the

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The Compulsory Education bill.
recommended by the State Board
of Education, is to be pushed Wig
orously and will probably be pass
ed by the General Assembly of
this State at the present session.
The bill will, it is said, require
children between 8 and 2 years OF
age who are not being educated at
home or in private, denomina-
tional or parochial school, to at
tend public school for at least 90
days in each scholastic year.
In addition to a provision for the
inficting of fines upon parents or
guardians who do not comply with
the law, provision is made in the
bill for the establishment and main
tenanCe of truanCy schools in the
counties.
Children who live more than two
miles away from any school are to
be exempted from the provisions of
the bill. The measure is drawn so
as to apply to every county in the
State, and the final section pro-
vides that
The Comptroller of the Treas
ury shall, upon recommendation Of
the State Board of Education,
withheld one-fourth of the State
school appropriation from any
board OF county school commission
ers that wilfully refuses or neg
lects to enforce the provisions of
this act in a manner satisfactory to
the said StateBoard of Education. "
1t will be seen from this state
ment that ample provision will be
made in the bill to prevent its eva
sion by the school authorities, and
that, if it shall become a law, it
will probably be rigidly enforced.
This is well. All laws should be
enforced while in existence. If
objectionable they should be re-
pealed, not ignored.
Ofthis compulsory school meas
ure it may be said that, while fully
endorsed and its passage urged by
the State Board of Education, it
will still be something of an ex
pertinent. There is little doubt,
however, that it will be advanta-
geous to those who will be imme
dlately affected by it and, in
general sense to the State. Taxes
are imposed tor the maintenance of
schools, because public intelligence
IS regarded as essential to moral
ity, obedience to law and good
citizenship generally. If this were
not so the State would not be ius-
tilted in taxing property owners to
maintain free schools. Logically,
therefore, it is reasonable that as
the State thus provides, by taxa
ton, for public education it has
right to insist that all its citizens
shall improve the opportunity by
sending their children to the pub
lie schools, or if unwilling to do
that, to private schools.
The compulsory law will doubt
less work hardship in some cases
and, we think authority shonld be
conferred upon the several school
boards of the State to exempt citi-
zens from incurrlng its penalties in
such cases.

The Teacher S Lantern.

The Teachers Lantern.
1t is helpful to recall Jesus
previous dealings with these men.
During Jesus forty days
IN the wilderness, his Messianic
character and work fully dawned
upon Him. There He evolved
His plans and the principles of
procedure, to which He adhered
to the very close of His career.
He came back to the vast
concourse still attending the min
istry of John the Baptist at the
lords of the Jordan as to a human
quarry from which he could select
living stones at the foundation of
that spiritual edifce He designed
to rear, Nor was He disappointed.
He found FIVE out of the twelve.
When John saw Him, he
gave Him joyous welcome. No
shade of jealously crossed his no.
bic heart. He unequivocally cast
the full weight of his phenomenal
influence upon the side of the new
teacher, crying, Behold, the
Lamb of Cod" On the
morrow, as Jesus reappeared, John
repeated his significant exclama-
ton with even increased empha-
sis. 1t was as if he had said,
"Whoever wishes to leave me how
and follow this greater Teacher, is
at full liberty to do so. Two of
the choicest spirits among his con-
verts, John and Andrew, take the
hint separated themselve: forever
from the rugged Baptist to follow
the lowly Jesus. The Nazarene
hears their footsteps, and turning,
encourages them with look and
word. They are drawn to him, as
iron to the magnet. Under the
tresh,cut boughs of a pilgrim booth,
or IN the cool depth ofsome grotto,
they sit at His feet and learn of
Him, their hearts burning within
them as He unfolds to them the
principles of His kingdom. Then
and there was kindled in the hu-
man soul of Jesus that love which
made John evermore His bosom

most violent of these phenomena
will occur in southern 70 equato-
rial latitudes. This period may
also be counted on for heavy snow
and blizzards-some of the hardest
OF the Winter-over much of the
country composed of Central and
Northern States. A general and
genuine cold wave will wind up
the general perturbations.
A regular storm period falls on
the 10th to the Goth, having its
center on the 18TH. There is every
reason to believe that some of the
hardest storms, and most severe
weather for the winter, will set in
at this period and continue, with
little intermissions, for the remain
der of February and into March.
About the 18TH to 10Th storms Of
tropical nature will visit southern
parts Of the country-heavy rains,
with lightning, thunder and wind
will reach as far northward as the
Central States, while snow, sleet
and blizzards will form their,coun
terpart and sweep out of the north
west. Change to rising barometer
and colder will follow up the
storms from the northwest, but
stormlness and rough, threatening
weather will continue, blending
the storm periods into prolonged
spell of stormy, disagreeable
weather.
A reactionary storm period falls
on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. This
is at the center of the Mercury
period, the new moon at an eclipse
node IS on the 23rd, and on celes-
tlal equator on the 25th. This
period also brings us we'll into the
Venus disturbance and the earth's
vernal equinox. Storms Of wide ex-
tent and violent in character need
surprise no one from about the 23rd
to 25th. If the temperature rises
high-a very probable result-with
greatly depressed barometer read
ings, tropical storms of rain, hail
and thunder will be natural in the
south, possibly tornado in some
localities. These conditions will
be suddenly followed and by
high barometer and rushing gales
and blizzards from the northwest.
This is also another period in
which seismic and volcanic distur-
Dances will be reported from many
extreme quarters or the earth. All,
except that small "oficial" set
who make it their business to mis-
represent and belle us, will under
stand that our mention of seismic
and similar phenomena is not with
a view to forecast calamity and
dange-, but to show the cosmic
relation of these things to general
storm and atmospheric conditions,
and beyond these manifestations
still, to prove that they have their
prime origin in certain astronomi-
cal changes and combinations.
Storm, earthquake, volcanic erup-
tions, auroral lights, magne tic
earth-currents and all similar
perturbations of nature, have
common source, and that source is
found in astronomic changes and
conditions. 1t is this great, fun
damental truth that we have set
ourself to defend and promulgate;
hence in our forecasts we often in
clude all these phenomena, and |
every verification Of the same car
ries with it scientific proof, far
reac hing in Importance and value. /
A regular storm period begins
on the 2oth and has its center on
March the Ist. A disturbed, if |
not stormy state of weather will
lead to this period, but about the
2Sth these these conditions will in
tenslfy, causing many active
storms during the opening days of
March.

MORE WATER
AND BETTER WATER
Is What Mr.. Sessions
Promises the People of
Marietta.
Marietta, Ca, July %, 1905.

To the Public: We realize, and
have for some time past, that on &C.
count of the rapid growth of our city
that the present water works plant is
not sufficient size to keep up with the
growing demand upon it, consequently
we have perfected arrangements to in
crease its capacity and the work is now
in progress Of putting in fine filtering
plant, larger pumps, new pumping sta
tion ard reservoir covering twenty five
acres of land.
Twenty feet will be added to the
standpipe.
1t will take about four months to
complete all of this work; however,
within four or five weeks we will be
pumping.fltered water into the city.
We do not expect or propose to lay
any more 4-inch pipes. All future ex-
tensions will be made with larger
pipes.
No town or city in the country will
have finer water for any purpose than
we will furnish the public in a short
time and we will have all that the city
can possibly require for years to come.
We are now getting up rates charged
by other cities of this size, and we pro-
pose to revise our rates and make them
as cheap as other places, operating I'M
der practically the same conditions.
We propose to meet with committee
from the City Council and 60 over
these rates and agree on same.
We trust the public will bear pa
tiently with us for from three to four
months longer and we agree to give it
the very best service that can be had.

ELECTRIC CAR
KILLS MR.. HARRIS.
The Accident Occurred at
Buffers Saturday
Afternoon.

On last Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock as electric car No. 302, was
coming into Marietta at Buffers, just
outside of the corporate limits of the
city, it struck Mr.. L. w. Harris, who
was standing with one foot across the
track, and hurled him some fifteen or
twenty feet, fracturing his skull and
gashing his legs and arm.
Mr., Harris lives on the Atlanta road
just opposite Buffers and was coming
across the track in front of Latimer's
store, when his attention was attracted
by Mr.. L. NJ. Haney's horse, hitched to
wagon, making an effort to run away
Mr.. Harris seemed so much interested
in the horse that he didn't notice the
fast approaching trolley car, although
the motorman, Mr. John Reynolds,
blew the whistle three times. When
in about thirty feet of Mr.. Harris, Mr.
Haney hollered to him to get out of
the way of the electric car. Mr.. Har-
ris turned his head ia that direction,
stepped back from across the rail, but
it was too late, and the car struck his
forehead, crushing the skull.
He was carried to his home where
Drs. Field ana Elder did everything
they could for him, bat they pro-
nounced his hurt fatal as soon as they
examined him. He lived until nine
O'Clock and passed away
Mr.. Harris was night Waterman at
Glover's Machine Works and was a
most excellent gentleman. He mar
ried Mrs. Clayton, daughter of Mr..
Nathan Fowler, of Woodstock, and
moved to Smyrna. From there he
moved to Buffers, just outside of the
corporate limits of Marietta last
March, where he bought sever al houses
and lots. He leaves wife and four
children.
Mr.. Harris was a member of Nicka-
jack Lodge of Odd Fellows and his re-
mains were accompanied to Woodstock
Sunday, on a special train, by a large
number of Odd Fellows of that Lodge
and of Marble City and Cherokee
Lodges of Marietta, as well as a num-
Der of friends, relatives and citizens.
He was buried at Enon cemetery.
Mr.. Bill Lindsey was the conductor
on the trolley car and Mr.. Johu Rey-
nolds was the motorInan. Mr.. Rey-
mold has been motorman for fifteen
years and this is the first accident of
the kind that he has had, and he did
all he could to avert this terrible af-
fair. He blew the whistle and put on
brakes to stop the car, but Mr.. Harris
seemed to be oblivious of his danger
until the fatal moment when he turned
his head and received the terrible blow
that wounded unto death.
Mr.. Harris, on the morning of the
day he was killed by the electric car,
told his wife that he had present.
ment that something terrible was GO
ing to happen. It's strange how these
coming events cast their shadows be-
fore.
His wife and children have the SYM
pathy of our people in this hour Of sor-
row and bereavement.

1t was at first estimated by State
Entomologist Smith that Georgia would
get 5000 cars Of peaches this season.
The disaster Of early frost and recent
heavy rains have cut the crop to prob
ably 9. 800 cars. The Augusta Chroni-
Gle roughly estimates that, at 81 per
crate, and 400 crates to the car, a car of
peaches may be said to be worth $500
gross in New York City There is,
however, necessarily, good round sum
to be deducted from this amount to
obtain the net value, which, in round
numbers, is placed at from $400 to $500,
or, splitting the difference, let US call
$500 the net value of car load OF Ell
bertas. Had the crop as originally
hoped for, therefore, materialized, it
would have amounted to $2,50O,OO0.
Even as it is, the $500 cars shipped this
year should place something like 3d.
10000 net in the pockets of the or
chardists of Georgia as the returns
brought them by their peach crop
alone. And also bear in mind, it is
Georgia only to which the above figures
apply. II the other Southern States
were included, the worth Of the fruit
crop to this section would be still more
impressive TO consider.
Unfortunately for Cobb county, the
crop has been greatly reduced by the
peaches rotting from excessive rains.
Probably there will not be half crop
in this immediate vicinity.
At the orchard of Mr.. w. Il. Turner
he has hauled out 5000 crates Of rotted
peaches. Other orchards are faring as
badly.
Beyond Canton, the crop is al! right.
