NEVER REACH THE BOTTOM.
Articles Thrown Down Shaft
Found Clinging to Side.


1t Is an interesting scientific fact,
and one not generally known, that
nothing that falls from the mouth of
the deepest mining shaft in the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous
Red Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet
and Hecla copper mine at Calumet.
The article, no matter what shape or
size 1t may be, is invariably found
clinging to the east side of the shaft.
One day a monkey wrench was
dropped, but 1t did not get to the
bottom. 1t was found lodged against
the east side of the shaft several
hundred feet down. This incident
coming to the attention of the Michi-
gan College of Mines, II was decided
to make a careful test of the appar-
ent phenomenon. 1t was decided best
to use small but heavy spherical
body, and marble, tied to a thread
was suspended about twelve feet be-
low the mouth of the shaft. When
the marble was absolutely still, as
suring that 1t would drop straight
through by the fame of candle.
The marble fell, but at point 500
feet from the surface brought up
against the east wall of the shaft.
The same would be the case were
man to fall into the shaft. While
II would mean sure death, the body,
badly torn, would be found lodged in
the timbering on the east side. Men,
bers of the faculty of the College of
Mines are now engaged in expert
ments with a view of developing data
as to the thickness of the earth's
crust. 1t is not hoped to solve the
perplexing problem of the distrlbu-
ton of the earth's matter, but 1t is
hoped to add to the information col
lected concerning 1t.
To this end the Red Jacket shaft
presents advantages possessed by no
other place in the universe. The deep
shafts In other parts of the country
and In foreign lands generally begin
at an altitude and end above or very
little below the sea level, whereas at
the Calumet mine the. Red Jacket
shaft starts in a comparatively low
altitude and pierces the earth's crust
deeper and further below the ocean
level than any other In existence. 1t
Is hoped within a year to be able to
give some intelligent information re-
garding the Investigations. - st.

Americans Residing Abroad.

Year by year the number of Ameri-
cans residing in the chief European
cities has been increasing. Two
years ago an estimate of the num-
Der of Americans living in London
was made and the numberwas shown
to be $1,000, with $4,000 In Paris.
There are according to the last
estimates $4,000 Americans residing
in London permanently, 10000 in
Paris, 5000 each in Rome and Ber-
lin, $500 in Munich, 1900 in Flor
ence and 900 in Venice.
There are at an times between
100000 and 10000 Americans resi-
dent in European cities, apart from
the number of Americans who make
a summer trip to Europe and come
under the designation of either
transients or travellers. Most Euro
pean countries do not include. In the
census of inhabitants taken unnat-
uralized foreigners, and for that rea-
son the figures of the number Of
Americans are not always easy to
get. Ten per cent. of the population
of Paris, exclusive of transients, Ia
made up of foreigners-250.00 600 for
eigners constantly in Paris, of whom
10000 are Americans.

Effect of Rain Upon Animals.

"The effects of rainy day upon
animals of a ZOO said keeper the
other day, ARE as interesting to
watch as anything / know in connec-
tion with a collection of beasts. Now,
that big wolf over there just revels
in a rainy day, and skips about as
gay as you please. All the wolves
are the same. Rain cheers them up.
But the lions are different. They fret
and growl and snarl unless you give
them an extra allowance of meat or
a big pan of warm milk Then they
will sleep, but rainy day seems to
get on the nerves of lion or any of
the cat family. Snakes are kept in
just a certain temperature all the
time, and you would think that the
damp air would never reach them.
Perhaps it doesn't, but l have always
noticed that all the reptiles are ac-
tive and cheerful, If a reptile can be
said to be cheerful, when 1t rains.
The deer family, the bears, various
sorts of wild goats, and the like,
don't seem to mind the rain bit.
Birds, however, are the most discon-
solate, dreary things in the world on
a rainy day. They don't sing, hardly
chirp, but just settle down to be as
miserable as possible"

Mrs. Miller's New Residence, Earned

Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned
of a mild and simple preparation that
would readily cure female diseases and
piles. After curing herself and many
of her friends she was besieged by so
many women needing the treatment

who might call for it. She started
with only a few dollars capital, and
the remedy, possessing true and won
derful merit, producing marvellous cures
when doctors and other remedies failed,
the demand grew so rapidly she was
several times compelled TO seek larger
quarters. She now occupies one of the

owns and almost one hundred clerks
and ,stenographers are required to assist
in this great business.

Will Be Here.

Our people are to be congratulated
over the assurance from the Guild of
st. James Episcopal church that Mrs E
G Stevens, a graduate Of the Boston
Cooking School and several noted
schools of the same character in Eu-
rope, will be in Marietta at the Armory
Hall, beginning May 9Th, giving dem
constructions of cooking both morning
and afternoon of each day for one week.
Judging from the number Of the very
best people of Atlanta that spoke so
highly of this lady's ability as an ex-
pert in plain and artistic cooking. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that the ladies
of Marietta will take advantage of this
opportunity to add to their store of
knowledge in that art so essential to
the happiness Of the home, and at the
same time contributing to the worthy
cause OF enlarging the Episcopal Sun
day-school building.

WHERE ART THOU?

The evangelistic services in Pres
byterian church, commenced early in
January, and which were unfortunately
interrupted by the long continued ILL
ness OF the pastor, DR.. J. II. Patton,
were resumed last Sunday night. His
sincerely devoted people are glad to see
him in his wonted health and spirits
again.
The sermon, taken from the words,
Where Art Thou!" the first spoken to
the guilty pair in the Garden of Eden
by the Creator, was most beauOlful
and impressive one. Dr. Patton dwelt
eloquently and forcibly on the power
of example, the influence exerted upon
Others by our own acts. Many were
moved to tears by the narration of in
cidents in real life. Near the close DR..
Patton asked the congregation to sing,
without the aid of the organ, one verse
OF the sweet and tender hymn, II Need
Thee" He said that 1T was one of his
favorite hymns, and especially dear to
him now after his long days of weary
illness.
The special services will be contin-
ued, and everyone is extended cordial
invitation to be present next Sunday
evening at 80 o'clock. *%%

COTTON. MILLS.

-
Under the heading Cotton North
and South" the Washington Post be-
gins an editorial with this terse state
ment:
THAT the cotton manufacturing in
I-dustry of the United States will event.
ually be solidly centered in the cotton
producing section, may be regarded as
thing decreed by mutual and eco
nomic laws. New England will be COM
PEELED to substitute other industries
for her great interests in cotton. The
process of transfer from the East to the
South, which began some decades ago,
and has not been halted, is bound to go
on to a finish"
The Chattanooga News says: THE
East will fight this movement as long
as the money holds out, and it may be
some years until the change is wrought.
However, that it will come eventually,
there can be no sort of doubt. 1t is as
natural az thing can be in human at
fairs. Death is no surer than the ulti-
mate removal of the cotton mill indus
try to the Southern States. The East
will simply invest its money in other
enterprises. And when that time comes,
the chances are that New England will
be for low tariff and the Cotton States
for protection-which is more evidence
that Hancock was right when he de-
clared that the tariff question was
local issue.
Marietta ought to get into the push
and build cotton factory. LaGrange,
Newman, Dalton, and other towns are
going forward in these manufacturing
enterprises.

A LITTLE GIRLS GIFT TO THE
MONUMENT.

A little Marietta girl, hearing the pa
thetic story of our long neglected Con-
federate cemetery, resolved that she
would, by self-denial and every other
possible means, save $500 for the Con-
.federate monument, which is at last to
be built in recognition of the 5000 Con-
federate soldiers who gave their lives
for their country. For two years the
child has persevered, often sorely
tempted to give up the struggle which
meant n1tlch of self-denial, but at last
the $500 has been handed in to the
Monument committee, and no gift to
that fund was ever more appreciated.
Cannot our people take note, and, fol-
lowing the example of this child's per-
severance and loyalty, send in their
gifts, however small, to help build a
monument worthy Of our city, our
county, and above all, the cause for
which these men fought and died? We
owe it to them, we owe it to ourselves
The State, which now owns the ceme-
terry, will beautify and adorn it let the
people of Cobb county and of Marietta
see to it that we have monument OF
which we will not be ashamed.

A MARIETTA COLORED MAN KILLED

Joshua Bacon, son of Nose Bacon,
who moved from Marietta to Riverside
California about five years ago, met
with an accident at Highgrove, Califor-
mia, on April LIST. Josh Bacon was a
teamster, and was using spirited
team, hauling oranges from the Sarles
grove to the Highgrove farm. After
crossing the Gage canal, he found his
load had loosened. Stopping his team,
he went to the rear of the wagon to
tighten the rope, where there was a
trailer or second wagon loaded. The
horses became frightened, and Bacon
ran around to their heads and tried to
seize the brides, when he was thrown
beneath the wheels of the wagon,
crushing his hips and back, which re
suited in his death. Joshua Bacon was
% years old and married.

ABUNDANCE.

Reports from the wheat belt are
to the effect that this years crop
will be record breaker. Kansas
has the largest winter wheat crop
ever planted, with the growing
grain reported in perfect (1OO)
condition. Iowa is planning for
the largest harvest ever gathered
in the Central West. In Nebraska
winter wheat is reported at 100
III condition, while both South
Dakota and Minnesota reported
increased acreages and excellent
conditions. Indiana and Ohio will
raise about average crops. Some
damage has been done to growing
wheat in Texas and Oklahoma by
insects, though SO far it has not
been very great. When the har-
vest begins in earnest, we shall
doubtless hear a great deal about
freight car famines and the ina
bility of the railroads to move the
grain. The roads were swamped
with the moving of the last crop,
and it may be doubled if they
have made a great deal of improve
ment since that time.
