Atlanta by the Georgia Railway ana
Power Company in water pumping
power rates were made to-day by
City Electrician X, c. Turner. in an
nouncing HIS determination 20 fight
the proposed electric power pumping
plant contract.
Mr.. Turner declared he had been
ignored when Councils finance COM
mittee and the Water Board met 10
take final action on the pumping con-
tract. and that he would urge that
the whole matter be referred 20 the
electric committee, "a body that Is
supposed 20 know something about
electrical affairs"
To Go To Committee.
Chairman Clarence Hayerty. Of the
electric lights committee, said to-day
that in view of the ordinance requir-
ing all electric power contracts TO be
submitted to his committee. he would
make a motion TO have that policy
followed in awarding the pump con-
tract at the meeting of council Mon
day. This will enable Turner 20 make
his fight directly before the commit
tee.

gia Railway and Power Company as
he had announced he would. by the
statement that ne did not know the

1T seems funny to mo that that
body whose members know nothing
about the inside OF the electrical busi-
ness should invite the bidders to be
present but say nothing to the city

He said his information was that
Rome had secured rate from the
company OF .O05 cent on a much
smaller contract than Atlantas.

The question before the Water

was whether 10 build an isolated

A Contracting Earth.

It would be of great philosophic inn portance, and we doubt not, of great popular interest, to know whether the earth is contracting or not. If it con- -traeted beyond certain point there would be a possibility that its end might come in a watery deluge, sup merging it's land beneath its oceans, which even now would suffice to coy- CT the whole world. were it not for the inequalities of it's surface Dr. Stro- meyer has recently remarked that there seems little possibility of ever finding actually whether such contraction, pre- sumed to be due to cooling, is taking ulace. The only way in which 1t might be tested would be if we are able to show that the differences in the dip of the magnetic needle which are so very puzzling were actually due to some difference in the speed of rotation be- tween the great ball which forms the core of the earth, and the forty mile crust which is its rind- We are assum- ing in the foregoing sentence that the crust Is forty miles thick and no more; and that there Is some distinct differ ence in the constitution between the rind and the core. That is a conside- ration which has of late years been as
 to be true by the seismologists and is based on the differing rates of

 With Gigantic swindle.

Cincinnati, O.. Jan. s.-A man giving the name of Harry Vokoloke was ar rested here today and Is being held by the police on suspicion of being connected with g gigantic sWindle of foreigners and immigrants during the last two years. The police assert that search that has been going on for the last year and a half is ended. but that more than a quarter of a million dol- lars has been realized as the result of the swindle.
 It is alleged that the principal in the swindle, besides dealing in stocks and bonds on which he realized heavily from foreigners who had not been in this country long. was the agent of the Greek Catholic union. an insurance company with headquarters at Home stead, Pa. The police claim that he or ganized a gang, insured fictitious peo- pie, paying the assessments on these for five or six months, and then turn ing in a report of their death. The certificates of death, burial and the undertaken were forged and presented to the company, who immediat tely paid the insurance.

It is only right to add lives that the differing rates of speed of earth waves through the earth or along the surface crust of the earth might be explained by other causes, and without assuming this constitution of the earth. It is however customary to regard 1t as plausible, and as Poincare would have said. convenient and Pro- lessor Milne has lately accountedfor the great earthquakes by assuming that the core of the earth is not contract ing, or at any rate, is not contracting so fast as the crust. What happens, he thinks, is that the crust in shrinking and in trying to grip comparatively itself.

Their average height is four feet nine inches. The difficulties encountered by the ex- petition, which lasted fifteen months, may be gathered from the fact that during the first year 12 per cent. of the party died, while 33 per cent were invalided and had to be sent out of the country. Out of the 300 men em- ployed during the first twelve months only eleven remained to the end.

WHAT IS THE USE OF
 CATCHING COLD?
None Whatever, Says a Prom
 inent Physician.

s. B. Hartman, M. D.. of Columbus, Ohio. sends out the following pun gent and pointed advice to the read ing public
 You catch cold easily. You have several colds every winter. You do not exactly have catarrh, and yet there is more or less stoppage in the to have a cold every month or so.
 Your trouble is lack of resistance. You lack vital powers to resist the climatic conditions. With anything that would raise the nervous tene or tnvigorate the nutritive system you without catching cold. It is a fool ish waste of energy and a reckless risk of your life to continue in this way.
 you will take my advice. First, you should take cold water towel bath every morning. It should be taken very rapidly. with 8 wet towel. and . small bedroom. A quart of water Is all that is necessary. Rub your self until you are thoroughly warm and dry.
 Now, in addition to this you should take a tablespoonful of Peruna be- E8fe at night and exposed somewhat t7 cold. crowds and stuffy rooms, take q tablespoonful before going to bed also.
 If you will follow these simple, plain directions you won't catch cold again. Try. it. Write me about 1t. It will work. and be worth a fortune to you. For men or women, old or young, strong or weak, this advice is applicable and there are no fail ures when it is properly followed
