HOW GEORGIA. SOUGHT a SLAVE.
colorsd Man Was Given Salary ~ Re-
ward For Service.

The state Of Georgia was at one time
the owner of slave. Whether or not
any other state ever owned slave or
slaves Is not known, but certainly 1t
10 htghly probable that no other state
ever owned slave and railroad at
the same time and worked them to-
gether, as was the case with the slave
owned by Georsia.
the negros name was Ransom, later
called Ransom Montgomery by reason
Of the fact that before he was ac-
quired by the state he was owned by a
man named II. B. Y. Montgomery He
was purchased outright by the state
thru an act Of the legislature Of 1s49
for having saved the Western and At
lantic railroad bridge over the Chat
tahoochee river from destruction by
IRE. and later was placed upon a sal
airy under the supervision Of the "prin-
cipaI engineer OF the Western and At
lantic railroad
subsequently, when the civil war was
over Ransom, now a free man. was
again remembered by the state. Altho
the state was practically bankrupt, an
act OF the general assembly. approved

In this Fastening age OF QUITE, Wien

may sound paradoxical TO say that we
owe our punctuality and time-saving
to the playful porpoise. And yet such

This oil has the unique property OF pc
ing able 10 retain its fiuidity summer
and winter. and there Is an authentic
record Of the lubricant doing It's work
at temperature Of quite 100 degrees
below the freezing point.
A variety of other oils have been
tried for the same service. but all OF
them have proved far less reliable. In
watch or chronometer the Oil must
stay where putt must not creep
over the mechanism and thus steal
away from it's duty. Therefore, it ought
not to run away in the presence OF
considerable heat. Neither should the
oil oxidize, eyaporate. or grow rancid.
These exacting requirements are met
in their entirety only by porpoise- Jaw
oil, and II il no wonder that the stuff

neighbofhood of &25 a gallon. There are
many other mechanisms that are best
cared for by using porpo!se-jaw oil,

ed enough porpoises from season to

session Of the pocket timepiece this ir-
regular source Of supply failed to SUI
flee. It was then that William F. Nye,
OF the famous old whaling city. New
Bedford, set about organizing the por-
poise catching business upon Intro Eff
ficient lines. Experience had proved
that the character OF the oil depended
much upon the freshness OF the fat and
the time the oil was rendered and also
upon the healthy state Of the por-
poise, itself-Scientific American.

south's Genius in War Methods.

During the civil war" said Capt.
w. G. Henry, Of New York. who fought
In the Southern army, 'the confeder-
ates invented certain weapons and GER
tain methods of warfare which are
now in universal use.
Il. They invented the ironclad.
When the confederate steamer. the
Merrimac. sailed out from Norfolk har-
Dor in April 1852. and sunk or dis
abled the federal feet in Hampton
Roads, she then and there destroyed
the wooden navies Of the world.
"2. The submarine is a Confederate
invention. The sinking OF the Housa-
tonic and the disabling Of the Keokuk
in Charleston harbor in 1853 by Con-
federate submarine under command OF
Lieut.. Payne, G. S. NJ. was the first
successful demonstration Of the terri
Bile effectiveness Of that assassin OF the
sea, the submarine.
IS. Trench warfare. now engaged IN,
by all the belligerent forces in the
world war, was the invention of that
great captain Of the Confederacy. Gen.
Robert r. Lee. He began trench war;
fare In the battle of the Wilderness on
May 4, s and 8. 1854, and he continued
It throughout that long campaign.
another lesson taught by the Con-
federates was that forts and land fortt-
fications could not be taken or destroy
ed nv feet attack. The failures OF the
heet attacks upon Fort Donelson and
Fort Darling in front Of Richmond on
the James river In 1862. the failure OF
the commandments OF Forts. st. Philip
and Jackson at the mouth Of the Mis-
sissippi river by the mortar fleet OF
Admiral Porter in 1852; and the re-
peated failure Of the Federal fleets TO
take Charleston, 8. c., taught lesson
which was learned by all nations save
England. II took the disasters ee the
Dardanelies to convince the British
authorities that land forts and FORTH
cations are invulnerable to feet at
