City Heated by Natural Hot Water

the spot was known simply as place

The cost of the water year to the
average family is s135. The water
company which now has control Of
the wells does not employ the meter
system in measuring the supply, but
the water flow is gauged by the size
of the pipes running into the indi-
vidual homes.
The cost of supplying house for
all purposes with the natural hot wa
ter is somewhat heavier than with
the ordinary furnace system, but
there are advantages. There are no
furnaces in the homes using the nat

TWICE USED MANUSCRIPTS
Original Writing on Palimpsests is
Now Deciphered in Europe by
the Aid of Photography.

Before the days of books. parch-
ments became so costly that economi'
cal scholars erased more or less per
fectly what had been written. and
used them second time. In this
manner some highly interesting and
valuable manuscripts have been lost
to the world BIT in many cases the
ancient characters are still family
visible Twice used manuscripts are
called palimpsests, ald many modern
scholars have strained thier eyes in
the effort to decipher the original
writing.
Of ate years photography has been
successfully applied in Germany and
France for this work. The color OF
the faded ink of the older writing on
a palimpsest is yellow. A photograph
of such a manuscript was made
through yellow screen. The result
was negative on which the old writ
Ding was barely discernible, being
little darker than the background,
while the later black writing was
found to appear distinctly as white
H1etters.
Next an ordinary negative on
S bromide plate was made, and from
athis was produced transparent posi-.
tive on which both writings appeared
dark and about equally distinct. Then
the transparency was superimposed
-eon the first negative, so that the dark
letters of the later writing covered
the light letters, representing the
: same writing in the negative. They
y were thus eliminated being indis-
tinguishably merged with the general
dark background produced by the
combination of positive and negative.

were dark in both cases, appeared in

When the eagles nest on ledge Of
rock, it sometimes happens that the
young lose their balance at the edge

case under observation few seasons

the parent birds constructed new

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of state institutions 10
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, 20 county
hospitals and 21 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January /,
1909. says recent bulletin Of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the num-
ber of state institutions for tubercur
losis has doubled, and the number OF
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to 80. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
S3,000,000 of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions
in 1909, when 43 legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910, when only IL
legislatures were in session. The ap-
propriations of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanitoria
In the last two years will aggregate
fully s2,500,000, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to over s6.000,000
in the past two years.
In spite, however, Of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that 10
needed has been made. More than
250,000 tuberculosis patients are con-
stantly without proper institutional
treatment

is OUASHED
FOR THE SECOND TIME THE
COOPER CASE IS THROWN
OUT OF COURT.

For the second time the case of the

aser Of the local office Of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, charg-
ed with embezzlement, has been
knocked out Of court on a technical
lty. each time a hard fight resulting
in which. on both occasions, Cooper's
attorney. Judge Max Isaac, has been
victorious.
The case against the former man
aser was called in the superior court
Monday morning. and as soon as the
jury was secured Judge Isaac moved
to quash the indictment on the
ground that various members of the
grand jury who indicted Cooper were
not eligible to jury duty. On this
point the entire day was spent and
he matter was still on trial when the
court recessed for the day.
When the court convened yesterday
morning work on the case was re-
sumed. Nearly all of the attorneys
interested argued the matter before
the jury and the casSe was given
to the twelve men about 10 o'clock
After being out for short time, they
returned a verdict, uphClding the de-
fense in it's contentious, which put an
end to the case.
Just what action will now be taken
is not known. but is was reported
that the present grand jury will Ike
ly reindict Cooper today in order that
his case can be disposed of at the
present session Of the court.
When this case was called at the
December session Cf the court, a sim
liar fight occurred. In the bill of in
dictment, instead of Glynn county,
Georgia. there appeared Chatham
county, Georgia, and on this point the
case was thrown out, making it nee
essary for another indictment to be
returned.

THE SOLONS
MEET TODAY
GEORGIA LAW MAKERS TO BE.
GIN FIFTY-PAY SESSION
AT NOON.

Atlanta, June 21.-The advance
guard of the Georgia lawmakers have
begun to arrive in the city so as to
be on hand at the opening Of the ses.
sion. tomorrow morning.
AS usual the lawmakers are gather
ed about the hotels lobbies and poli-
tics is about the only conversation.
The question is whether the op-
ponents of the present administration
will decide to put out a candidate.
1t is believed by many that before
the formal entries close on July %,
there will be a strong candidate in
the field. Just who this will be no
one knows. The two men most prom
inently mentioned are Murphy Cand-
Ter and ]. Pope Brown.
Whether or not Mr.. Gambler cr Mr..
Brown will accept the nomination Is
a question. They are both regarded
as very strong men and many polltfc-
ians express the opinion that either
one of them would he formidable
candidate. They even go so far as to
say that either one of the two men
can win.
1t has been rumored that many of
the lawmakers who are opposed to
the present administration, are anx-
ious to see a candidate in the field.
A meeting will probably be held, II
not this week, at least in the early
future, to discuss the matter.

JURY'S VERDICT
MAY THROW OUT

PECULIAR SITUATION ARISES AS
RESULT OF TRIAL OF THE
COOPER CASE.
Every Indictment Returned BY the

Make Fight on Technical Point. "A

terday in the case of J. A. Cooper,
holding that J. C. Green a member
of the grand jury at the December
term of the superior court, was not
eligible to serve as member of the
name was not on the tax digest, may
mean that every indictment returned
by that grand jury will be thrown out
and it will be necessary to bring new
indictments against every person in
dicted.
The point was an unusually inter
eSting one. While Attorney Max
Isaac, Representing Cooper. included
three jurors in his plea in abatement
only one. J. c. Green, was used in
the trial tefore the jury.
I be state contended that although
MI Green's name was not on the tax
digest tat lie was a competent juror
and that Cooper should have made
objection before the case was ready
for trial. This argument was met by
attorney for the defense on the
ground that the defendant was not
then aware of the fact.
Now it develops that it is more than
probable that every case called dur
ing the present session of the court
where the defendant was indicted by
the last grand jury, the same objec-
ton will be filed, and, as the point
has already been decided in enc case
the decision would of course prevail
in all cases.
And more trouble is probable by
this decision. In future attorneys
may always Investigate this point DE
fore going to trial. 1t Is even limited
that one or two of the members OF
the present grand jury, for enc reas-
On or another, are not competent
jurors, and even If new indictments
are returned and attorneys challenge
the jurors in question, it will mean
considerable trouble and the court
will lose much time in deciding the
technical point.
It is safe to assume, howeVe:, that
the attorneys will take advantage of
the verdict found yesterday, AMI all
defendants indicted by the last grand
Jury will have to be reindiciad before
their cases can go to trial Oh tn"
