For Beautiful Dawson.

Editor of The News: If owners
of homes would be good enough to
take down their front fences the
Civic Improvement Club would be
greatly encouraged to continue their
efforts towards identifying the city
AS we see it, this is the only solu-
ton to the problem of making wider
our narrow streets. Some of our
progressive citizens have already set
the pace. Let others speedily fall
in line. Down with the fences in
the interest of a beautiful Dawson!

STOPPED CROP EXEMPTION
Bill to Free Farm Products of Taxa
ton Failed. Senator Irwin One
of Those Who Opposed 1t.


An interesting fight was waged in
the state senate over a bill by Sena-
tor Sellers which proposed an amend
ment to the state constitution per-
hitting the general assembly to ex-
empt from taxation agricultural
products in the hands of the pro-
Queer. The bill received 20 votes.
lacking only single vote of pass
ing, a two-thirds majority being re-
CURED in the case of constitutional
amendments.
President Slaton's favorable vote
would have passed the measure, but
as he was opposed to it he did not
vote.
Senators Perry, Mathews, Irwin,
Harrell and others argued that the
bill was vicious in its nature; that
1T abrogated the soundest principle
upon which taxation is based, that of
uniformity; that the Georgia con-
stitution and laws provide for the
uniform taxation of all property,
and that any exemption would be a
dangerous precedent.
Senators Sellers, Griffith, McCurry
and others argued that in any event
there ought to be no objection to
submitting this question to the peo-
pie of the state, and Senator Kemp
claimed that such exemption would,
through the farmer, benefit the en-
tire state.

Professor Barnard shows that this
last change began in November, 1902,
and seems to have been completed in
February, 1908.
Among the earliest suggestions for
making balloons was that OF q floating
vacuum. 1t was thought of in the
seventeenth century but nobody has
been able to construct a successful
balloon on this principle. because the
walls surrounding the vacuum must
be so strong that the air pressure Will
not crush them, and the requisite
strength is inconsistent with the
equally requisite lightness. Lately the
idea has been taken up again in Ger
many, and submitted to calculation.
Herr Derb estimates that six spheri-
cal vacuum balloons, each ten meters
in radius, formed of aluminium one lin
in radius, each ten meters i'm radius.
formed of aluminium one millimeter
thick, and harIlessed in q row. would
possess a buoyancy of about 35.OOt
pounds. But the difficulty is that the
balloons would have to be so strongly
stayed within that the carrying capac-
ity might be practically nothing.
Lyman ]. Briggs of the Bureau of
Plant Industry has invented a method
of testing the moisture content OF
grain by its electrical resistance. The
Importance of the invention depends
upon the desirability of knowing ac-
curately the condition of grain in
storage or in transit. An electric cur,
rent is passed through the grain from
one metallic electrode TO another, and
form Of the apparatus has been de-
vised suitable for employment i'm ears
and elevators. Thus far the expert
ments have been confined to wheat.
Heat plays an important part. since
the resistance rapidly decreases as the
temperature increases, and SO the tenn
perature Has TO be taken into account.
The moisture content can be deter
mined by this method with n probable
error not exceeding three per cent.
The electrical resistance of wheat CON
tanning Is per cent of moisture is 80
times that of wheat containing L. per
