and when he reached here he wore g
cap borrowed from one of his news
paper companions. His only posses

WHERE THE OCEAN BOILs.



Submarine Earthquakes.
Mariners say that in the midst Of the
Atlantic, about where the twenty-fifth
meridian west from Greenwich crosses
the equator. there lies region OF
mystery. 1t is on the line that ships
take from Madeira to Brazil. Only
within the past half century has it
been sounded and its strange phe
nomena reported.
One Investigator declared that he
saw the sea about half mile from his
vessel suddenly disturbed. For about
two minutes 1t boiled up violently as
from subterranean spring. Through
out the day there were observed great
patches Of discolored water which had
exactly the appearance Of extensive
shoals.
These and similar phenomena are
frequently observed in this part of
the ocean. Often ship reports that
she has experienced violent shock
similar to that which is felt when a
rock is struck. Sometimes great
rumbling is heard, like that Of heavy
chain running through the hawse
pipes. and the vessel quivers like a
leaf in the wind. At another time, in
smooth water. vessel has been
known to heel over suddenly, as If she
had run on sand bank.
Before this part of the ocean was as
thoroughly sounded and surveyed as it
is now these phenomena were attrib-
uted to the presence Of unmarked sand
banks and rocky shoals. and the old
charts were marked accordingly. But
it must have astonished the mariner
somewhat to find that he got no sound
ings with his deep sea lead immediate
" after experiencing one of these
shocks.
1t is now generally believed that sub
marine earthquakes are the true cause
OF these commissions. Youths Com

Friends of the Farmers Union
Head Say He Needs Their
Support for Cabinet.

Those Georgians who have observed
closely the progress of the movement to
place Charles S. Barrett. president of
the National Farmers<union, in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet as secretary of
agriculture. express themselves as en-
tirely satisfied with the condition Of
things in the West the middle West,
the North and the East, but they be-
lieVe the Georgia congressional delega-
tion-which is Mr.. Barretts home dele
gation-must be more aggressive, as a
whole, if results are TO be obtained.
The states OF the Pacific slope are
practically solid for Barrett and sew
across the continent to Trenton to urge
before Mr. Wilson in person Mr.. Bar
rett's fitness for the position.
In Illinois, in Colorado, in Indiana
and in Pennsylvania the Barrett move
ment overshadows all others. The
farmers everywhere are solid for him
and the farmers believe this portfolio
should be awarded to one of their ranks.
Georeians Not Active.
1QflOuSly enough, however, the
Georgia delegation in congress is not
as active, so reports from Washington
say. in Barrett's behalf as a great many
of his Georgia friends believe it should
be.
A big majority of the delegation is
outspokenly for Barrett, and is commit
ted to his cause both by written and
verbal Endorsement to Mr.. Wilson. One
or two members of the delegation, new
ertheless, appear to be hanging fire, and
Barrett's friends are beginning TO ask
why.
Those backing Barrett believe sin
cerely that all he needs to land in the
cabinet now is the united and enthusi-
astic support of his own state delega-
ton in congress. If that is given him

PUBLIC SAFETY
AIM Of LEAGUE

TO Impress upon individuals the impor-
lance of being watchful while in the
streets, and 10 reduce the possibility of
accidents through automobiles, street cars
and other vehicles, a movement to or
ganlze public safety league with 1000
active members, including all the school
children in Atlanta, has been started by
officials of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company.
Under present plans the league is to
nave officers and lecturers. an official but
ton bearing an emblem of the league S
AIMS and purposes, moving pictures
showing how accidents take place and
how they may be avoided, and other vivid
methods of educating the public on this
important subject. The lecturers will visit
the classes in the public schools, address
the public probably in mass meetings in
the Auditorium Armory and seek in other
practical ways TO further the object OF the
league
Besides the school children. automobile
owners, street car motormen and con.
ductors and vehicle drivers Of all classes
viii be asked to enroll as members of the
league
As soon as the league is sufficiently
we'll organized, CO. operation will be sought
with the public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, SO that the com
mlttee'S suggestions to the public may he
spread throughout the city under organ
lied plans.
The expense Of this organization will
be borne by the street car company. the
officials explaining that the interest of
me company in preventing street acct
dents IS perhaps greater than that of any
lhdlVldual or other enterprise in the city.
