About Little Joe Brown.


The next Governor of Georgia is not
the dwarf that the Hokesmithites have
pictured him. Unofficial measurements
make him five feet six. Many leading
characters in history have not projected
into space as far as that. Mr.. Browns
opponents seen 10 have supposed, not
incorrectly perhaps, that HoKE SMITHS
impressive height and size were his
strongest qualifications for public life.
He Is Handsome HoKE, too, whereas
Little JOE was set down as incurably
ugly. Judging from photographs OF the
two, HoKE looks like fat variety sketch
artist; JOE like sedate. scholarly and
thoughtful schoolmaster or professional
man. His chest is said to be narrow, but
his forehead is broad, and he has a pow
erful nose.
,Attie JOE is son Of old JOE BROWN,
Governor and Senator, shrewd long
headed, long winded, who held his own
and came into Office among elders like
STEPHENS, HOWELL COBB and BOB
TooMBs. Little JOE was born in 81,
was graduated as first honor man at
0glethorpe University in 1872, studied
at business college, was admitted to
the bar in 1878, went to the Harvard law
school, but had to give up on account of
his eyes. SO he took to railroading, be-
ginning as brakeman and working up
to general traffic manager, He was in
the railroad business for twenty-five
years. No wonder Governor HoKE
SMITH kicked him out OF the Railroad
commission. However, Little JOE had
other irons in the fire. He has to be a
farmer OF course. Otherwise how could

ATTEMPT TO KILL GOV. FORT
Internal Machine Addressed to
Him at Sea Girt.
Suspicious Aroused and Package
Opened in Philadelphia After
the Governors Permission,

Sea Girt, N. IAN attempt to as
sassinate Governor Fort, of New Jer-
sey, has been thwarted by the watch.
fulness of postofice employees, who
discovered an Internal machine ad-
dressed to the Governor in the mails.
The package was a ~cleverly contrived
combination of powder, bullets and
matches, which had been so arranged
that opening it in the ordinary way
certainly would have caused an ex-
plosion. Had it been received by the
Governor and opened hurriedly, with
out any suspicion of what it con-
tanned, there is little doubt it might
have killed him.
That the package was intercepted
before it had reached it's destination
was due to the vigilance of the postal
officers who have scanned the Gov
ernor's mail with unusual care since
the executives recent crusade against
violation of the law at Atlantic City.
The attitude taken by the Governor
when he directed that the excise and
similar laws at the seaside resort be
strictly enforced, threatening to or
der out the militia if necessary to
that end, aroused great resentment in
some quarters. It was to guard the
Governor as much as possible from
any annoyance arising from that af-
fair that the unusual watch was put
on his mail.
Several days ago, when a package
of somewhat unusual shape was
found to bear insufficient postage, it
was taken by a clerk to one of the
postal inspectors. The inspector
asked for permission to open it with
out forwarding it to it's destination.
The permission vas given at once.
Exercising the greatest care the in
spector and his assistants removed
the wrappings from the package. to
find confirmation of their suspicious.
1t was a real Internal machine, crude,
but so cleverly constructed that it
was capable of doing tremendous
damage. 1t contained a quantity of
powder and bullets, with matches so
arranged that a hurried opening of
the package would have set off the
powder and hurled the bullets in all
directions.

Dogs Help Blacksmith.

A blacksmith in an uptown East
Side street employs three Newfound-
land dogs to work the bellows of the
FORCES of his shop. In one corner Of
the place is a wooden wheel about
eight feet in diameter and wide
enough for a dog to stand in. When
the wheel IS at rest the dog stands in
much the same position as the horse
in a child's rocker, with it's head to-
ward the forge, awaiting orders.
When told to "go ahead" the beast
on duty at once starts on a brisk trot,
which makes the wheel turn around
rapidly, and by means of a crank and
lever the power is conveyed to the
bellows. The dogs work willingly
and with such intelligence that pedes-
trians are never weary of watching
the efforts of the animals to keen. the
smiths fires bright. Each dog works
in the wheel n hour and then rests

THE wARsHIP OF THE FUTURE.
Prediction IF an Engineer of the Geological Survey-.He Relieve
Gas Engines VIII h Installed in Naval vessels In the Next
Few Years, Which viii Make Them SmokeIess,

uses. The gas producer and the raj
engine would take up less room and
weigh less than the same power
Scotch boiler and steam engine. The
vessel would have a radius of travel
far greater than at present.
"Of curse l do not expect to see
the gas engine confined to the use OF
the navy. The fact that it shows
such economies will compel it's install,
lation in all sorts of vessels. One Of
the big items of expense to a modern
ocean liner is its coal bill. These
vessels will consume 10000 tons Of
high grade coal on a round trip. With
the gas engine this could be reduced
to 5000 or 1000 tons, a saving Of
several thousand dollars.
"One of the big steamship compa-
MES of the great lakes is about to
take the initiative in this movement.
Plans have made for a freighter that
will use a 1000 horse power gas en-
CINE. This company is making the
experiment to test the economy of the
gas engine over the steam engine"
The United States Geological Sur.
vey has been experimenting with the
gas producer and gas engine for sew
eral years and has demonstrated that
this type of engine in a stationary
plant is capable of generating from
twice to three times as much power
from a given amount of coal as the
steam engine. 1t has also shown that
the gas engine al develop more pow
er from a low grade coal.
The purpose of the Government has
not been to develop the gas engine,
but to increase the efficiency of the
coal supply of the country, which is
now being depleted. The Govern
ment spends $10;O0O,0O0 yearly for
coal, and it was primarily to set the
best results from this expenditure
that the Investigations of the gas pro-
Queer and gas engine was taken up.

Washington, D. C.-The war vessel
of the future will be a swift, smoke
less, noiseless craft, lying low in the
water, with every vulnerable part be-
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because there will
be no smokestacks. In the night
time there will be nothing to betray
the presence of this invincible fight
ing demon to the enemy
This prediction was made by Rob-
ert Haywood Fernald, mechanical en-
gineer, who has for several years
been connected with the fuel investi-
cations of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Mr.. Fernald believes
thai the gas engine, or internal COM
bustion motor, as it is called by engi-
neers, will be installed in naval YES
sells of the United States within the
next few years.
81 expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
Innovation" said Mr.. Fernald. "The
gas engine, in my opinion, is feasible
on any vessel because of it's economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
cially desirable on the fighting ship
for the reason that it makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs one The coal is turned di-
rectly into gas, which goes straight
to the engine.
1.-THE elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
of the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in its favor. The YES
sci would have a free deck for the
play of it's big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus Gripping the boat.
Then it would be -necessa to
carry as much coal, for the same
power a be developed with one
third less than the steam engine

that any of the leisure SO gained shall
