A Georgia Ghost Story
A Georgia man told a friend that he
was greatly annoyed nights by the
presence of a ghost in his room that
he seemed to hear footsteps and that
they did not cease till daylight
Doubtless the spirit of a former oc
cupant of the house his friend said
Theres been some old time trouble in
that room a death there or perhaps
hidden treasure If the ghost walks
again just say as loud as you can In
the name of the Lord what do you
want and youll not be troubled with
it again
Well said the friend meeting the
ghost haunted man next day did you
do as I told you
Not exactly was the reply I
wrote a note to tho ghost and took to
the woods Atlanta Constitution

7fco Secret ot the Mnplc
No thoughtful person who has ever
visited a maple grove In the early
spring while snow banks are yet lin
gering in sheltered hollows and has
seen pailful after pailful of sweet sap
drawn from tho auger holes in the
shapely trunks can have failed to won
der what forces goYern the flow of the
sap When the warm sun touches the
treetopB the flow increases A rise of a
few degrees In temperature often
causes a great Increase of flow if the
rise passes the zero point on the cen
tigrade scale that Is the freezing point
of water But a considerable change of
temperature In which tho fluctuations
do not cross the zero lino causes no
marked change in the flow of sap Dr
K M Wiegand discussing these and
other related facts in the American
Naturalist reaches the conclusion that
neither expansion of gas in the wood
nor expansion of water nor expansion
of wood itself is the underlying cause
of the pressure which produces the
flow but that this pressure arises from
the effects of temperature in altering
the osmotic permeability of the pith
ray cells

I remember the surprise with which
I hoard cornet solo flrst recorded and
then reproduced by a Scott grapho
phone the construction of which if I
am not mistaken antedated the birth
of Edison The record was made upon
a sheet of tin foil wrapped around a
brass cylinder which was actuated by
means of a weight a train of wheels
and a butterfly regulator In this con
nection to show the antiquity of the
germs of another modern Invention
one day when looking through thoyflles
of the Journal des Savans I came
across the account of a machine which
was presented to tho Academy of Sci
ences of Paris somewhere around the
early years of the eighteenth century
This machine was nothing else but a
typewriter the description was very
summary but I remember that it had
individual type bars tho keys of which
were made of ivory It was tho work
of M Leroy of Versailles who was
styled Oorlogeur du Roy the reigning
king being Louis XIV Alfred Sang

Widows exist in all countries thus
counterbalancing the matrimonial de
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men Widows are clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object that cant help
itself It is generally considered un
lucky to meet a widow on a dark piaz
za by the light of th moon In many
countries to be ki sed by a widow
means endless trouble Widows are
frequently accompanied by children
wh number is constantly liable to
inciv They roam at large over
the jvincipal sections and no man is
safe when they are near All the per
fect men now dead have married wid
ows thus forming a continuous con
trast to the miserable specimens who
still live It has been said Beware of
widows but this is unnecessary for
no man can really help himself Life
Flexible Stone
The stone looked like a piece of dark
gray granite It was a foot long and
several inches thick Lifted it bent
this way and that like rubber It is
itacolumite or flexible sandstone said
the owner It is found in California
Georgia and several other states Be
sides bending it will stretch Look at
It closely and you will see that it is
formed of a number of small pieces of
stone of various tints all dovetailed to
gether loosely so as to allow of a slight
movement This movement is what
causes the stone to bend See how it
bends Like rubber precisely eh But
if I bend it too far it will break

Captain Spencer of the Church army
once asked a convict what he did for
a living when he left prison Well
in spring I does a bit o pea picking
and In summer I does a bit o fruit
picking and in the autumn I does a
bit o op picking Yes said the
captain and what do you do in the
winter Well mister I may as
well be honest with yer In the winter
I does a bit o pocket picking Cap
tain Spencer next asked And what
happens then The convict replied
Why I comes ere and does a bit o
oakum picking London News
Homesiclw Spencer
When Herbert Spencer was a boy his
father sent him away from home to
school The youngster became home
sick and with 2 shillings in his pocket
made his way home over 120 miles In
three days Avalking most of the way
He did forty eight miles the first day
and forty seven on the second On the
third day a friendly coach driver took
him most of the way for nothing
Slistook His Destination
An editor of a western exchange re
cently began worrying about how he
would get his shirt on over his wings
after reaching paradise An envious
contemporary sarcastically observed
that his difficulty would likely be in
finding out how he could get his hat
on over his horns Gayman Kan
