SOME FACTS ABOUT THE SUN
Many Wonderful Things About the
Orb of Day That Are Not
Generally Known.

The diameter of the sun is $685.
600 miles. It's distance from us is
39,000,000 miles. Its bulk is 1,3O0,-
600 times more than the earth. It's
weight in pounds is 3,747,361,435,-
1928, 3O2,O14,8OO,OOO,OOO.
1t turns over on it's axis once in
20 days. The center of gravity of
the solar system, including all the
planets, lies within the body of the
sun except when Jupiter and Saturn
happen to be both on the same side
of the sun. A man weighing 218
pounds on the earth would weigh
over three tons on the sun, and his
own weight would 1atten and kill
him. Light travels $4,000 miles
per second, and reaches us from the
sun in eight minutes. The light of
the sun is $50 times more intense
than that of calcium light and it
makes other lights black by compar-
ison. The sun contracts at the rate
of ten inches daily, but millions of
years must pass before the earth
will feel the effect of this contrac-
ton. But ultimately the sun will die
and wander through space as a dark
cinder. All the coal on earth would
not supply the suns heat for the
tenth part of second. If the earth
fell into the sun it would instantly
melt like a fake of snow. But for
the atmosphere that protects the
earth the sunlight would within a
year cause all the oceans and seas
to boil like a pot. The noise of the
explosions on the suns surface would
kill a man placed within 5000 miles
from its rim. Had an express train
started for the sun in 1850 it would
not be due there yet, and only the
seventh generation of it's passengers
would reach their destination. The
of space is 400 degrees
below zero. Through it we journey, |
rooted over by the atmosphere as
though We were in a conservatory in |
the midst of perpetual winter.

CAT FISH IN WE'LL FORTY YEARS
Has Grown Greatly in Size, and Is
Yet Healthy and Frisky.

What do you think of a catfish
living forty years in a we'll.
When George Rittenberry, one of
the oldest and best known of the
Central of Georgia engineers, was a
boy he caught a ten-inch catfish out
of Ocmulgee river. 1t was the only
fish caught on that trip, and as it was
hardly big enough to eat and he did
not want to throw it away he decid-
ed to drop it in the we'll at the
old Rittenberry home, 512 Clinton
street. That was over 40 years ago.
The incident was forgotten until
a few years afterward, when the well
was cleaned out and the fish came
up in the well cleaners bucket. 1t
had grown to twice its original size,
but as it was now regarded as a pet
and its presence in the well did not
seem to affect the water, which was
always considered about the best in
East Macon, the fish was placed back
in the well.
Every few years the well was
cleaned out, and every time the fish
was brought up only to be put back
again. Macon Telegraph.

NEED MILLION FOR PENSIONS
Commissioner Lindsey Makes Esti-
mate. Says 1t May Go Even
Higher Than That.

ATLANTA.-Pension Commission
81. Lindsey, in report to the gov
ernor and legislature, estimates that
$1,180,000 will be needed for pay
ing Georgia pensioners in 1912 and
1913. If an amendment is adopted
placing some 1924 pensioners, now
receiving s. to $50 per annum, on a
$50 basis Commissioner Lindsey says
$1,200,000 will be needed.
His report shows that there were
1912 pensioners of all classes on
the rolls in 1910, and that they were
paid $937,188. To date in 1911 49,
100 pensioners have been paid the
sum of S1,142,43
The new service pension act placed
on the rolls the first year 2,077 men
and 2,310 widows, and several hun
dred more will probably be added
this year under this law. Commits
sioner Lindsey estimates the death
list at 1898, or about Z u per cent.
1t will increase heavily each year
from now on.
By placing both the old pension
Appropriation and the special service
pension appropriation of 100000
together the commissioner has been
able to pay most of those on the
rolls. With the entire fund practi-
cally exhausted he still has $50 I'M

IN MEMORY OF A LITTLE GIRL.
MOdena Snipes Passed Away After
Illness of Nearly Nine Weeks.

Illness of Nearly Nine Weeks.
On Saturday, July 8, 1911, after
several weeks of extreme illness lit
tie Modena, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell Snipes, passed peaceful
ly away. For nearly four years she
was sent as a heavenly messenger
to this home, and when the Christ
who said Suffer little children to
come unto me" sent His death angel
for her precious soul this home was
devastated by the storm of sorrow
that can only be changed into joy
by the grace of Christ. Her little
feet were unfit for the rough path
and whatever pain earth might have
held, but now all is well, for she
is in the loving care of the Good
Shepherd. We have seen a beauti-
full flower fade and then shatter,
leaving behind it's fragrance and
memory of it's beauty; such was the
going away of little Modena-she
slowly faded away, then vanished,
though all loving and tender care
and the best medical skill were eX-
ercised to save her. God gave her,
and God took her to Himself, where
she has gone to learn the song and
service of the white-robed throng and
prepare the sweeter welcome for
mamma, papa and loved ones all as
they, like her, must cross over the
river
Beautiful and impressive words
were spoken by Revs. Prickett and
Quarterman, and loving hands ten

Progressive Georgia-Make Her
More So.
The state of Georgia is making
more rapid progress today than ever
before in her history; in fact, her
progress along all lines, commercial,
industrial and social, is something to
be marveled at. The people who are
responsible for this progress do not
state. The large cities are wide
awake and have on large schemes
for their betterment and develop
ment; the smaller cities and towns
are organizing trade bodies and civic
Improvement clubs; the state, agri-
culturally, is undergoing a tremen-
dous change for the better, and the
whole state is thr0bbing with prog
Tess, and not one action of the re-
spOnsibility Of this progress was
caused by the sale of whiskey. AS
a matter of fact, that issue has been
relegated in Georgia. The people
are thinking more of the education
of their children, and the develop
ment of Georgia's resources than of
the liquor problem. Whiskey is not
being relied upon to assist in the
general welfare Of the state nor in
the uplift of her citizenry.-S. A
