The Weather..

Following the tropical storm Of last
week, when five and a half inches of
rain fell, a down-pour, which commenc-
ed about sunrise on Monday and con
tinued until 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
caused all the creeks and river to again
over flow. According to the govern
ment's guage, the precipitation amount
ed to four and a half inches. This is
the fourth time since the middle of June
that the low-lands have been under
water; nothing like it having occurred
since 1892, at the time of the noted
"Sam Jones" flood. In July of that
same year the highest river that was
ever recorded before or since, occurred.
The late Pat Coleman, who lived on the
river three miles south of Macon, re-
marked: II have been bothered more
or less every year with the coons and
possum eating up my corn, but this
year the catfish got it."
The weather this year has gone from
one extreme to the other, and it is not
to be wondered at that the crops are
poor, for when it vas dry, it was very
dry, and when it was wet-there vas a
food.
The thermometer Thursday night fell
to 46 and it feels Friday afternoon
late as if there would be frost during
the night.

poses Of illustration. Any sort OF craft

blockaded port in order to preserve the
legality of the blockade, but naval
strength was secondary considera-
ton. Only once was the integrity Of
the blockade seriously menaced. Had
not the Monitor providentially checked
the career of the Merrimac at its out
set, the latter ship might have opened
every Atlantic port of the confederacy
to foreign commerce. and changed the
whole current of the war.
But Great Britain has no such easy
task. Her blockaders must be ships
Of every class, from torpedo-boats to
dreadnaughts, for the German navy Is
powerful and its officers have already
demonstrated their daring. Besides the
day-after-day struggle with the sea,
the constant watchfulness for attack
will put upon the British commanders
n strain to which our civil war seamen
were strongers. Even at that veterans
of our blockade record that it was the
most dreary and trying Of services.
But made effective a blockade is a
terrible weapon. History has hardly
done justice to the part it played In
bringing the confederacy to subsection
for lack of clothing. medicines, arms,
and all munitions of war.
Germany is better equipped to resist
its effect than was the south, but even
at that if blockade can be vigorously
for food and for the means of contin-
uing the war. the Germans will be
brought to serious straits. Today, with
no blockade in force, the German pub
licists are denouncing the British Tor
their efforts to starve people. The
situation will be more serious II an
actual blockade be determined upon
and maintained.
If Germany had not navy OF class
second only to that of Great Britain
the blockade would be a certainty and
its result fatal. AS 1t is there is grave
doubt whether such a blockade can be
maintained.
The United States can learn alike
from the past and the present from
the confederacy without ships. and
from Germany. with navy that COM
peis respect even from Britain's colos-
sal fleet, how important to national
defense is that adequate navy which

Another Insures to v. S. Bases For
DYES and Ammunition; Both Free.

Washington, March 1.-Two discov-
cries, both of vast Importance TO
American industries and one regarded
also as a priceless military asset. were
announced by Secretary Lane of the
interior department. They are cheml-
cal processes, developed after years OF
research by Dr. Walter F. Rittman.
chemical engineer Of the bureau OF
mines.
One is expected TO enable oil reiners
to increase their output Of sasoiene by
200 per cent the other makes possible
the production from crude petroleum
Of toluol and benzol bases for dyes and
high explosives, for which IN the past
the United States and the rest of the
world have depended almost exclusive
ly on Germany.
DR.. Rittman has applied for patents
upon his process to prevent the. posi-
bility of any monopoly in their use and
will dedicate them to the American
people.
These processes Secretary Lane
said today, are fraughr with the ut
most Importance.
This new process adds 10 the hope
that in spite Of the wonderful growth
in the use of gasolene there may not
be any shortage in the future. l am
led TO believe il will not only be OF in
estimable value to refiners command
ing only limited capital as well as
those of wealth, but also to the hum
dreds of thousands Of users of gaso-
lene.
The second process discovered by
DR.. Rittman may prove of much more
value than the first, in that it suggests
the esta blishment of an industry in
which Germany heretofore has been
pre- erninent-tfe dye industry-and
also promises indirectly measure OF
national safety of incalculable import.
Among the necessary ingredients Of
high explosives, toluol and benzol are
in the first rank. Heretofore these
products have been mainly obtained in
Germany and England from coal tar.
Explosive manufacturers have had TO
depend largely on these sources.
THE federal government now pro-
poses to obtain toluol and benzol from
crude petroleum. These products can
be produced from practically any
American petroleum. The supply can
be made sufficient not only for the en-
tire American trade. but also for other
purposes and at reasonable cost.
The real comforting thing, however,
is that in time of great national stress.
If the nation Is ever called upon to de-
fend itself, we will be able to manu-
facture the most efficient and most
powerful explosives known in warfare.
Were it not for this discovery it is pos
sible that in such an emergency we
might be compelled to rely largely on
greatly inferior explosives and this
would spell national disaster"

During the last year the postoffice
departments gave permission to eight
applicants for experimental aerial mail
service, and in the estimate of expense
for 1916 an item OF $4,000 has been in

this line. 1t is hoped TO make use of
the aeroplane to advantage in the
mountainous region where, in many in
stances. towns only short distances
from each other in the air line are hun

that many of the Interruptions to the
