Atlanta, who owns some 1900 acres of
fine land at Macland, in this county,

Settling a Bet.

The quiet of the room in which
the answers to queries editor sat
was disturbed by the entrance OF
two half grown boys. One Of them
pulled off his hat and addressed
him:
"Me and this Teller have made a
bet" he said, "and we've agreed to
leave it to you. He bets that if all
the turkeys that was EFT last Christ
mas was placed in a line they would
reach around the world, and l bet
they wouldn't. Who's lost?"
"You have, my son." answered
the man in the chair. "They might
be placed a mile apart and they
would still be in line, you know"
AS they turned and went out OF
the room the boy who had acted as
spokesman was seen to hand
small coin over to the other with
great reluctance and distinctly
heard to say:
DWELL, | can lick you, anyhow"
"Bet you a nickel on that, too"
replied the other boy.

Eurriers, SIGNS.

Nine furriers out of ten use a
big, black stuffed bear for an ad-
vertising sign. at is because the
bears last longer than anything
else" explained one dealer. "0f all
the animals in New York / don't
know of any that have harder time
than those that stand outside fur
riers' stores, winter and summer,
and try 70 drum up trade for their
employers. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference what kind of weather comes
along, whether it blows hot or blows
cold, those fellows have to stand at
their post and swelter or freeze as
the case may be. Naturally all
these changes are pretty hard on
their hide and none but bears can
stand the strain. Some furriers
have tried the fox, lynx and other
animals as venture, but they have
come back to the bear as the most
satisfactory of the lot. They cost
more too. A good stuffed bear
comes as high as $75, but if he is
treated right he will last for twenty
FIVE years, so that brings him down
to a comparatively low price after
all."-New York Post.

A Lively Court Scene,

They had a lively scene in a court
in Algiers when thirty thieves were
brought up for their sentences. The
judge had just sentenced the priS-
oners when a notorious thief flung
a boot at him. 1t hit the presiding
Judge squarely on the nose, making
the blood squirt. This was a signal
to the other prisoners, for immedi-
ately storm of boots, caps and 9TH
er articles hurtled through the air,
and amid the confusion the band Of
thieves made a dash for liberty.
The gendarmes had to draw their
swords before order could be re-
stored. All the prisoners were
caught and lined up again before
the judge, who gave them all three
years more at hard labor for COM
hitting an outrage on the magis-
tracy.

THE EARTH'S CRUST.
tie Rieidity 10 About Equal to That OF
Granite.

Professor II. J. J. See of the
United States navy has investigat-
ed the rigidity of the earth by
mathematical processes depending
on the theory of gravitation. He
found that, even if fluid, the globe
would have a rigidity greater than
that of wrought iron, owing to the
tremendous weight. The earth's
matter under this great pressure
acts as solid and so vibrates in an
earthquake, and the average rigid
ity of the whole mass is nearly equal
to that of nickel steel. Nickel steel
is one of the strongest and hardest
metals known. The globe is thus
proved to be capable of withstand
ing enormous strain. DR.. See
proves that the rightly Of the
earth's crust is about equal to that
of granite, which is one-sixth that
of steel, and that toward the center
the rigidity rapidly increases. AT
the earth's center the imprisoned
matter is at an enormously high
temperature, yet under the great
pressure there at work it is kept
three times more rigid than the
nickel steel used in the armor Of a
battleship.
This method has been applied
also to the other planets. 1t turns
out that the rightly Of Venus is
greater than that Of platinum and
probably about identical with that
of wrought iron. The rigidity Of
Mars is about equal to that of gold,
while the rigidity of Mercury, the
moon and other satellites is about
equal to that of glass. The average
rigidity of the great planets-Jupi
ter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
lies between eighteen and three
times that of nickel steel. The
great rigidity of these bodies is due
to the great pressure acting
throughout such large masses.
In the case Of the sun the result
is still more extreme. The average
rigidity of all the suns layers is
over 1000 times that of nickel
steel. This result shows the effect
of gravity in COMPRISING and hard,
ening a mass even when it is sell
luminous and at enormously high
temperature.-Chicago News.
