INTELLIGENCE CONFINED TO
LARGE CITIES IN GEORGIA.!

The late Wilson organs in Georgia,
or some of them, are hard put to it to
discover some explanation for the
discontinue the election returns
brought to them.
The Macon News, for instance, in
dulges in the reflection that the sue
cess of Wilson in the four largest
cities of the state was due to the fact
that in them intelligence was more
generally disseminated among the
people"
By inference, of course, this means
that the people of Americas. Albany,
Cordele, Valdosta, Thomasville and I
host of other benighted small cities
We're not sufficiently intelligent or
otherwise they would not have given
such substantial majorities for I'm
derwood.
And as for the numerous country
counties, having no cities, that en-
rolled themselves in the Underwood
column their intelligence, too, must be
away below par.
And when we reflect that the Allan
ia Journal covers Georgia like the
dew" that the Macon News, the Au
gusta Herald, the Savannah Press,
each circulates largely in the ignor-
ant cities, towns and country districts
that went heavily for Underwood we
wonder where the claims of those es-
Unable journals as educators of the
public comes in.
AS for Sumter Webster, Lee
Schley, Macon and other counties
hereabouts they will bear up bravely
under the charge of a lack of intelli-
gence And they will continue to
read the Journal and the Evening
News, as before. but with even less
faith in their political prognostica-
tons and utterances.

SHOULD FIGHT HARD FOR TAIL
LULAH.

Attorney-General Fielder is said to
have reached the conclusion, and to
have so advised Governor Brown that
the state had never granted or trans
fered the river bed and falls at Tai
lulah, and that the grant of the adjac-
ent ground did not carry with it the
control of the river and it's water
power.
1t is to be hoped that this is cor
rect, and furthermore that the Attor-
ney-General is able to sustain his con-
tention in the courts.
No effort should be spared to save
the state the shame of the gross act
Of vandalism that is contemplated a.
Tallulah Falls. Every resource of
the state should be used to prevent
the destruction of what has been de-
Jared to be the most sublime bit of
scenery east of the Rocky Mountains
= one of the most sublime in the en-
tire country.

more than we do such handiwOrks OF
the Creator, will never forgive us il

back up Gov. Brown and Attorney
General Fielder in making the hardest
kind of fight to prevent the ruin Of

COFFEE AND TEA.
The Bean Improves With Age, While
the Leaf Deteriorates.

The Bean Improves With Age, Will,
the Leaf Deteriorates.
Coffee beans improve with age. Five
year old coffee is better than the new
crop and fetches a higher price in the
market. In two years coffee will lose
10 per cent in weight, but it viii in
crease more than 10 per cent in price
Coffee should be used quickly after
roasting. IF the brown beans appear
oily the oil should be dried off in a
quick, hot oven: otherwise it will un-
dergo a chemical change which viii
affect the flavor.
While coffee beans dry with age,
teas absorb moisture even when in
zinc lined chests. Tea likewise de-
teriorates with age. 1t doesn't lose
strength so much as it does its draw
ing quality, which is another name for
favor or bouquet. So careful are the
tea packers to insure an entire alb
sence OF moisture from the tea when
being placed in the zinc or lead lined
chests that they have the tea leaves
sun dried and then heated before
packing. The tea goes into the chests
too hot to handle with bare hands and
is sealed up in air tight packages be-
fore it has time to cool and before
the slightest suggestion Of moisture
reaches it.-New York World.

SEARCHtIeRT RAYS.
Tsss Effect When the Beams Penstrsts
Fo9gy Atmosphere Helps
the Navigator.

Nearly everybody is familiar with
the beam Of a searchlight and knows
why the beam Is visible, while light
itself cannot be seen unless it strikes
the eye, its visibility being due to par
tcles in the air which really do reflect
the light TO the eye. On a fo@gy
night. If one viii notice, the beam
seems to come abruptly to an end If
the light is pointed upward. 1t does
this instead of gradually fading away
into nothing" as it does pointed hori-
zontally on a uniformly fOggy night.
The thing IS rather pUzzling to one
first seeing it, but the reason is not far
70 seek. Where the end of the beam
seems to be there is the place the fog
ends, for the beam cannot be visible TO
US unless there are small particles in
tts path. This is Of great help to sail
ors in judging Of the state of the
weather, for they can tell exactly how
thick the frog is. or. rather, how deep it
is. They can also tell by throwing the
light horizontally whether the fog is
universal or occurring only in patches,
for if extending to a great distance the
beam gradually gets DINNER and dim
mer, but if in patches the beam is
lighter in patches, and if it goes
through place With no fog at all that
part Of the beam is black or invisible.

EYE OF THE CAMERA,
Washed Out Blood Stains Cannot Es-
cape the Ultra Violet Ravs.

Washed Out Blood Stains Cannot Es-
cape the Ultra Violet Rays.
Even before it had been adapted ex-
clusively, by means of special lens
construction and combination, to the
reception Of the invisible ultra violet
rays, the camera eye, owing to its ne.
cul1ar sensitiveness to this light, has
played a strikingly dramatic role on
various occasions. One of these oc.
CURED few years ago in Lausanne.
Switzerland.
1t appears that q handkerchief
formed an exhibit at a murder trial
and was regarded as a crucial bit of
evidence. The closest inspection failed
% reveal a stain on the immacuIately
white cloth even with the aid Of a
powerful microscope. But it occurred
to a professor Of Lausanne university
to photograph the handkerchief, when
the image obtained clearly disclosed
the presence of great spIotches, or.
rather, OF what had been such, show
ing ghostIike in the carefully washed
fabric. The photograph proved the
turning point OF the trial. and the re-
suit was conviction.
Blood, as was scientifically explained
at the time, happens to be one Of the
substances that absorb ultra violet
rays, and when any Of these substances
have found their way to a receptive
surface no amount Of erasing or
cleansing can hide its presence from
the camera eve. When the latter is
equipped to utilize only this invisible
light the result is much more marked
Should the neateSt erasure he made in
writing done with substances specially
absorbent of the rays the ultra violet
photograph would show the traces OF
the erasure as plainly as the writing
itself-New York Tribune.
