Colonel Perry has figured that it viii

, to feel perfectly at home in his new rank
The hardest worked committee of the
house, and the least spectacular. is the
| committee on engrossing, of which Tins

man.

The duties of the engrossing committee
are very eXacting, and highly important
upon its work depends the future accuracy

| Under Mr.. Rsgsdale the engrossing
committee of the house made a wonderful
record. Its work was kept right up t.

the adjournment found it with relatively
, little work unfinished.
BY reason of his pre- minence in the
committee, Ragsdale has been closely con-

That the Georgia School for the Deal

Mr.. Ennis is chairman of the approaria

for the Deaf is located at Cave Spring

ToLsTops LOVED SISTER.

Sister Maria, who died from pneu-
monia at Schamordino last month,
was, before she entered the cloister,
Maria Nikolajevna, the sister of Leo
Tolstoi. A childhood friend says of
her: "She was a sister in fact and
the title was not an empty one with
her. She was deeply religious and a
firm believer i'm the forms and cere-
monies at which her great brother
scoffed, but the differences on that
score never lessened the real love
which existed between them. She
visited him every year. That was
sister Maria's one duty beyond the
walls of the cloister. And when life
in his home became a burden and
when the poet-philosopher fed from
it he went to his sister Maria. To
her he confded the secrets of his
home life and these lie buried with
her now"

HOW THE EARTH DRIED UP
German Scientist Has a New Theory
to Explain the Reoeding Of
the Seas.

When water is decomposed by ra-
dunn or by ultraviolet rays it pro-
duces hydrogen and peroxide of hy-
drogen, and it does not form oxygen.
Electrolytic decomposition forms
oxygen.
A German investigator bases
new theory relating to the drying of
the earth on the fact that one form
of decomposition produces oxygen,
while the other form does not. Part
of the water yapor emitted by the
seas is decomposed by the ultra-vio-
let rays of the sun; the hydrogen
formed rises toward the high at
mospheric strata, and all the water
does not return to the surface.
Therefore, the quantity of water on
the face of the globe is always d.
minishing and the earth is inces-
sanity, if gradually, drying.
To cite one example: On the
north side of the Alps there is a con-
tinual failing off in the depth of the
lakes and gradual formation of
swamps. Two hundred and fifty
years ago there were 149 lakes in the
canton Of Zurich, today there are
76. The destruction of the forests
and the cultivation of the land par
tally explains this, but the loss Of
hydrogen is an important factor.
The hydrogen accumulated in the
higher atmosphere is diffused in in
terstellar space.

BELIEVED GABRIEL HAD COME
That Occurred When Balloon
ing Was Craze.

A number of gentlemen drifted
together in the smoking room. of a
Washington Cd. o. hotel and got
to talking aviation.
'cEvery time l hear flying men
toned" said a white-haired Ken
lucky colonel, 81 think of Uncle
Josh, an old colored man, who lived
in my state, and who owned a little
stump patch which he called farm.
'Ballooning was then a great
craze, and a daring aeronaut at
tempted to take the Affair route
from Cincinnati to Louisville. Some
thing went wrong on the way, and
he came down in Uncle Josh's stump
patch.
'Uncle Josh, who had never seen
balloon, nor even heard of one, was
engaged in tickling with a single
shovel pillow the earth about the hills
of corn wedged in among the
stumps. When the old mule hitched
to the pillow saw the balloon it got in
a big hurry for the first time in its
life; in fact, it ran away and tore
up the pillow.
''The balloon struck about fifty
yards away and being strangely
CARRIED disengaged himself from the
tangle.
DAT the same time Uncle Josh's
knees smote together and then coll
lapsed. He was so scared he couldn't
walk, so he pulled off his hat and
started crawling to meet the stran-
ger. The aeronaut was surprised at
first, but he understood the cause C

Josh greeted him:

N Matter Of Industry They Should
BE cIassed Win the Ants
and Bees.

Wasps appear 10 be wen nigh as
industrious as ants or bees. One au-
thority has declared that the cardi-
nal doctrine Of the wasps is: ~1f any
wasp will not work, neither shall he
eat
Division Of labor is clearly seen
in the wasp's nest. Some Of the
workers seem to be specially en-
ployed as foragers and soldiers, 9TH
ers appear to be told off as nurses
and guardians, while yet others are
engaged as paper makers and ma
sons.
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond Of honey. Toward the end of
summer, as all beekeepers know, they
will force their way into beehives
and carry off by force as much as
they can gorge of their winged
neighbors' honey.
The drones Of the wasp world, in
stead of being idle and luxurious,
are sober, industrious and well be-
haved members of the community.
They clean the streets of their town
with exemplary diligence, acting as
public scayengers or sanitary officers.
And they have their reward, for, UNI
like the bee drones, they live their
allotted life in peace and quietness
until winter involves both them and
their maiden sisters in one common
cattaclysm of death and destruction.
