Iona Story.

A garrulous lady, Ill of complaint
of 40 years standing had begun to de-
scribe it's progress from the first, when
the physician to whom she addressed
herself interrupted her, saying he
wanted to go into the next street to
see a patient, and begged the lady to
inform him how long it would take
her to tell her story. The answer
was 20 minutes. He asked her to pro
coed, and hoped she would endeavor
to finish by the time he returned.

Falling Leaves Suggested Aeropiane

The German aeroplane known as
the taube, or dove, was invented by
an Austrian. When in India he no
ticed that the leaves of the zanonia
tree as they fell, floated for long dis
lance before they settled, This he
found to be due to the peculiar shape
of the leaves and the wings of his
aeropane he constructed on a sim
liar principle, whilst the body he fash
toned in the shape of dove. The Ger
man great general war staff approved
and improved the design and adopted

GOOD STORY
ABOUT RATTLEsNAKES

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. Authentic
Information on the question of
whether rattlesnake bites are fatal is
being furnished in interesting guam
titles, particularly by county doctors,
as the result of the statement made
by Atlantans that they didn't know
of a single case in which death had
actually resulted.
AS many as half a dozen cases.
though not more, are on the positive
records in Georgia during the past
fifteen years of epople actually dying
from rattlesnake bite, while on the
other hand there are hundreds of
cases Of recovery from the bite Of the
rattlesnake. That the rattlesnake can
kill is shown beyond question, but
along with this proof comes the other
surprising fact that the bite is nV
fatal more than one time in twenty,
provided proper and immediate atten-
ton is given to the patent.
So far as Atlanta and Fulton coun-
ty alone are concerned, no one has
died of snake bite here since the
civil war, though several have been
bitten and recovered.

JOKE ON "SEEING

ATLANTA, Oct IA joke of HON.
eric proportions was played on a
number of prominent Georgians yes
terday by an Atlanta paper when It
published a four-column snapshot Of
crap game in which leading mem
bers of the Seeing-Georgia tour were
the participants.
An atrocious but none the less fun
ny pun was embodied in the lines over
the cut, which announced to the
world that this was a picture Of
Georgia tourists showing the farm
ers in the Tallulah Falls neighbor-
hood something about the rotation
Of crops"
1t was a peach of a picture, well
worth printing for its own sake. -Four
men were sQuatting on their hunk

of greenbacks are plainly seen. One
o. the "crop rotators" is caught By
the camera in the act of swapping his
fingers Just as the dice have left his
hand, while the two ivory cubes are
seen rolling on the sand.
Behind those engaged in the game
are dozen more tourists including
several ladies, watching the proceed
ings with undisguised interest.

"Wide-tired wagons pull more easily

Narrow tires pull harder than wide

In places where the mud il, deep

easily. The narrow wheel fits the
rut, on the hard bottom OF which it
runs. and It collects less mud than
the wide tire.
Width OF tire and height of wheel
have great effect upon the draft.
The usual width OF the narrow tire
Is one and three-fourths inches. while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests we're one and three-fOurths and
four inches wide respectively. Six.

oId-Fashioned Harpoon Has Been Dis.
carded for the Most Modern Of
Deadly Weapons.

In early days the wooden sailing
ships engaged in the whaling indus
try in southern seas pursued only
right whales and sperm whales, or
cachalots. The so-callcd "finners,'
such as the blue whale, the largest
animal in the world: the finer whale;
the small fish whale; and the hump
back, were all too active, and sank too
quickly when killed. But their turn
has now come, for the modern whale
gun is finely fashioned cannon. the
harpoon carries shell, and the body
of the whale is kept af1oat by initiating
it with air through pipes from the
engine room of the whaler. The rem
dering is now done in a factory on
shore. or in special large vessel
moored in the harbor. Besides the
whalebone, which no longer pays we'll
or at all, and the oil, which is graded
into qualities as it comes from the
blubber. the fat of the tongue and kid.
neys, the flesh and bones and the
refuse, there remain the dried flesh
and bones, which are now also put to
commercial use. The absolutely fresh
flesh is used to make whale-meat meal,
nutritious and wholesome foodstuft
that is largely fed to cattle. From
the remaining flesh and about third
of the bones whale guano is made, and
from the bones alone bone meal. Tho
largest whaling business in the world
is now conducted in the Falkland is
lands and their dependencies. The
season begins in November. and lasts
until the end Of April, and the aver.
age production of oil is nearly half
