SARGE Pl Among the Scotch I? ot' Burns's Atlanta C lt ofieu happens that we find things rirbt around us never dreamed of, and npiicd with the softness of pathos or ? thrilled with the fir J of adventure to thc fullness of our heart's content. We knew there could be no better place to see the onie hundred and thirty-ninth birthday of Robbie Burns ,.r|ebrated thau among his own coun uviren at thc granite quarries of the lower part of DeKalb. Going there for this purpose and listening to thc ^,ulf< of thc poet as sung in his own tongue, we truly felt as if strolling ulong the "banks and braes of bonny poon" or listening to the murmur of . \ftan's Sweet Waters. We could nc p,ore describe the sweetness of this occasion than we could picture the merits of the hardy men and? bonnie lassies who have been drawn into this section by thc granite industry every where so abundant. We were carried I?, the grave of the first Scotchman who natue herc for this purpose, and ihr ti ist man to cut a block of stone DUW "0 common upon streets. Ile is rcnu'iu bored most affectionately by Iiis man try people, and they have decora led his grave in the cemotery of Lith ium in a most artistic and appropriate manner. This man was James lt. Wilson. Aberdeen, Scotland. Thc late City Dank, of Atlanta, once paid his mau $5,000400 much in cashing i check, which he discovered after trriving at Lithonia. He at once elographad the bank to save them lorry, and the next day carried the Doney back. The bank official re lived it without even thanking Wii tin or paying his car fare or telegraph ix pe ti se, whereupon he only remarked hat they should do the traveling if he thing ever occurred again. At Stone Mountain wc had a look tt thc crown hoad of the Confederate ?ouumcnt to bc ercoted at Chicka eauga battlefield. This monument viii truly bc a wonderful piece of wk. and was performed by a Scotch uan-a Mr. Potter, Mr. Beacon and nofiher gentleman whose uaine 1 have orgotten. The base of the monu uent is constructed of *solid granite ; hen comes four pillars six feet in liametcr ; then the crown head with i horse's head from eaob side and end -it being square ; then another tier f ?maller pillars, -nd upon th?se wiii ppcar a bronze statue of a Conf?d?r ?e soldier. Thc statue, when placed B position, will measure eighty feet igh. Before leaving Stone Mountain, for he sake of diversion, I will give the tory of a strange old man who pays remuent visits to these granite fields, nd whose belief in thc- eihcaey of rayer would be an ornament in many thors far more cultured than ho. bong, long ago, before the hammer f f the Scotchman was ever dreamed of I nd before these rocks ever had a rar. this strange old man owned lands nd lived a little northeast of the leep side of Stone Mountain. ?le ad raised a family herc perfectly eautiful in their innocence and happy i their backwoods seclusion. The ld uian himself was rated am infidel, nt his family were strict member" of little log Churoh which had jeen rganized near the foot of the moun iin. The family had long since, des tired of ever getting the old fellow > attend Churoh. and nothing was loughtof it when upon every Sab ith morning, he filled his bow-basket it h com, got a small sack of salt 'sdy and went to the woods to find is hogs ?au salt his cattle-this baa sen his custom for years upon the tbbath day, and ho scoffed the idea [ there being any good in religion or. i Churches. ^ So things were moving when a man J thc name of .Cloud-Aaron Cloud ?sited the. section, bought Stone fountain for littlo off nothing and an lunced that ho was going to build a oe hotel and tower on thc mountain id make it a great summer resort for Measure seekers. This all transpired, id our strange old man soon saw his lildren departing from the baok oods' simplicity and taking on the irs of the fashionable people who wembled at the hotel on tho moan na. His girls were no longer con ?ot with plain homespun goode, and is boya failed ta see why they should prk so hard, and that under the. und of string bands from the danoe dis or brass' bands from the great ?tr that reached above the clouds, was soon plain that the dissipation 'd extravagance of a fashionable re 1 rt was bound to contaminate the r Nplicities upon which our old friend " much doted. As for him? ho never bulged, except to grow sorrowful ? r a change he could not stem. I pon a certain Sunday morning, 1 .> strange old man in returning - ni -ehore he had salted his cattle, Minced to pass near the little log C urch at tho foot of the mountain. Bj had no idea of going to Churoh j M had never been. Hts pants were foled up nearly to his knees, for he ^1 waded the streams ; ho was bare JUNKETT eople on -A.rmiversary ? Birthday onslitution. footed, and in his shirt sleeves, with his bow-basket on his arm-surely not a very fine condition to visit a Church service, if he had ever thought of suoh a thing. Suddenly our old friend stops. He is listening to the loud old preaeher, and it is thc first time he was ever known to do such a thing. Surely thc preaeher has said something to please him, for ho draws a little nearer to tho Churoh and stands with his hand un to his car-he listens s"~\ j ously ; what does thc preaeher say? "By prayer, my brethren and sis ters, weean do anything-even yonder wOuuiuiii, brethren and sisters, could be moved by prayer and faith-faith, brethren, faith and prayer, would scatter yonder mountain like chaff be fore the wind !" Nothing on earth could have pleased this old strange man more than to scatter this mountain-soatter thc hotel and tho tower and keep thc fashionable people away. He liked thc words, and he walked nearer to the Churoh, cveu to thc door, and then inside. Suoh commotion was never seen in a country Churoh before. His good old wife ran dowu tho aisle to meet him, and throwing her arms around his neck, she shouted for joy. Thon the daughters and tho sons got around him, and there was wild con fusion which noon brought the whole congregation to toara and shouting. Suoh a revival as grew out of this inci dent had never been seen before. Thc meeting went on for weeks, and many joined the Church-the old mao join ed. Il would be too much to give the whole story in detail, but the old man became a praying member, and tho burden of all his prayers wan to have thc Lord remove the tn? un tain. It was not a great while, as many now living can testify, until a great storm came and blew away the hotel and shattered the tower. Aaron Cloud went away and was never again seen in this County, remaining in Griffin for a. short while, ho went'to Florida, where he died. In f.itnc this strange old man moved away, but he still pays the neighborhood occasional visits, and old and feeble, he smiles as the trains are loaded with the granite for distant places, and shoats to the sound of the dynamite that ter.rs and scat ters thc great rook like chaff before the wind. Returning to the region where the countrymen of Robbie Burns so like to dwell, wc are lost in wonder at the immensity of the granite supply of ?eKalb County. Miles on miles of solid granite can bo viewed from any vantago ground about Lithonia. Gran ite could bc had hero to build a Chi nese wall around thc world. Greater than thc Klondike in the money value, thousands of acres lie unscarred by thc hand of progress only waiting to be turned into tho channels of useful ness and to thc things of beauty. Lying south of Lithonia is a region Ln o wo as "Arabia," and it is the only region that we know in Georgia that can boast of a king. Mr. W. L. D. Crossley is the man that wears tho grand title of "King of Arabia." He is old now-along in the eighties, but he is still halo and hearty and none would dare dispute his rights or ques- > tion his judgment on matters of weight. As the sobriquet, "King of Ara bia," implies, Hr. Crossley has been a man of importance in this district, and, cf course, tac-ie has been many thrilling and interesting events in his long life, but as the topographical ap pearance of the section is so different to anything soon elsewhere in Geor gia I have not space for biography. Granite, granite, granite ! One naturally exclaims at the great stretches of granite, that everywhere attracts the eye. If it were proper to oall it seas, we would say great seas of granite. At plaoes an almost level rock reaches out for a mile before yon, gray and grim, ores ti og a feeling that is easier thought of than described. To the right and to the left, in front and behind, mountains of this grim granite took down apon yon just ss if it has looked for centuries upon cen turies at the fleeting things of the world. Many may come and man may go, but these asme gray and grim sen tinels will stand, defying the elements and creating wonder among men. Wc had passed out of the granite region proper and had come to tho flourishing farms along South River, when our attention was attracted to a mountain away in our front, and hov ering around it like a dark cloud and still pouring from it in a roaring fury was a stream of bats as dark as mid night. We learned that this was called Hook Mountain, and that from timo immemorial this 'same great swarming of bats was to be seen in the afternoons as they came out and in the mornings aa they returned to the great cave io thc mountain. No man can tell how long this cave has been a den for these bats-perhaps since thc world began-and the amount of bats that have died there makes a bed of fertiliser that would enrich every hill of our oounty if it oould only be arriv ed at, as it is, only a small portion can be fished out and utilized. The day will come when people will come from across the ocean to see the wonders of DeKalb County in her granite mountains. SARGE PLUNKETT. Inventor of the Telephone. Prof. Klisha Gray, tho inventor of the telephone and tho owner of a brain which has been the means of making millionaires of 2# men, is spending tho evening of his eventful life in poverty. This genius, who is one of the three greatest inventors of tho century, finds himself a poor man at 63, and in thc vtry shadow of thc palaces of some of tho men who have feasted from the products of his brains he is now forced to live in a humble house, the half of whose rooms and table ts shared by day boarders, who pay the regulation price of the weekly meal ticket. He can sit in his place in Highland Park, 111., and call tho names of a score of powers in tho world of fi nance who have caught him in a cor ner, found him without a penny and fooled him into selling his patent for a song. Thc pitiful lament of his lat ter days is that he did not havo a con servator appointed when ho had money. Ile now fears he may die without a cent. Prof. Gray knows his failing better than anyone else. He has been up and down. He has made fortunes and spent them. He has never had any considerable amount of money that he did not think it was enough to last forever. He admits that it never oc curred to him to he a scientist for money. He has never looked for any return save the fame. Mc once spent a year in devising a plan for an im provement in the work of the tele abone. Tho improvement was grab bed up on sight. It brought him a cheek of 3f>().Oub lie thought this was enough to last him the balance of his life. He or dered his wife and family to pack the trunks. They sailed for Europe thc next week. There was nothing too good or expensive for them to buy. They brought home pictures, statusry and art treasures, and the home was decorated like the palace of a king.' This seasou of extravagance was followed by one of extremo want. The Professor became filled with an idea that it would be practicable to send autograph messages by telegraph. The plan took so much of his time that he forgot to pay the grocer and the butcher. The barn on his home stead became his study. He borrowed all the money he could get his friends to loan him. Thia went for wires, batteries and machinery. He became so filled wita the scheme on his mind that time and again he was carried by his station iu his trips to Chicago for material. Ile lived like a man in a perpetual dream. The men who knew him knew that something great was to transpire. They waited. "The time to deal with Gray is when he is dreadfully hard up," said the president of one of the telegraph companies. "It is never good busi ness to make him an offer when he has money. He has now on the string an invention which is going to revolu tionize telegraphy. He wants a big prioo for his idea, which is in practi cal working order. His figures are away up. Tho thing to do is to wait until his bills get away up. He will then sell for a song." Prof. Gray ia getting to the point where he will sell for a song. It bsa ??c?c io tue pci??v wl?crv boarders have been taken in the home to help mest tho bills. He has ios*, his buoyancy of spirit and has descended to the plane of an ordinary grinder for an ordinary salary. Thc big shop which was erected for his use has practically been abandoned. The Gres in the plant are smokeless, and pent up in his little study, which has boen shorn of the pictures bought in golden days, he has been compelled to shandon his plana of science for science's sake, and is now trying to recoup his fortunes by working in thc moat commonplace lines. He spent the last year in improving a bioyle lamp. The improvement was quickly gob bled ap by a man who had money and paid cash-the smallest possible frac tion of its actual worth. This trait, possibly more than his greatness, has made him ono of thc most sought after men in Chicago. His neighbors have been most solici tous abou. him. Men of money have been keeping tab on his habits for a quarter of a century. He told me thc other day that he had more friends after a long season Of confinement and study than at other times. He thinks he'is watched like vultures watch a feeding grdund. His friends increase aa the evidences of his poverty in crease. -il- -rn- mm After yoara of untold nnffrring from plloa, M. W.

After all, the spirit of Christianity is higger than the creeds. About two weeks ago the Kev. Dr. Palmer, one of the most distinguished Presbyterian ministers in the United States, cele brated his 80th birthday, and was overwhelmed with gifts and congratu lations, which poured in upon him from all sides. Tho Jews presented him with a loving cup of massive sil ver, and the Uoman Catholics, through Cardinal Gibbons, wished him additional years of useful and vigorous life. The Uoman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, in Savannah, was destroyed by fire last Sunday night. As soon as it was known tint this aneieut edifice had perished aud that its congregation were without a sanctuary, tho Rev. Dr. Strong ten dered tho use of St. John's Episcopal Church "until the Cathedral congre gation could make arrangements for holding services." The Young Men's Hebrew Association and the Young Men's Christian Association also of fered to supply the Cathedral congre gation with shelter. Thc session of thc Independent Presbyterian Church, the rector of St. Stephen's Church, and the Bishop of the Episcopal Church sent letters and messages of sympathy to the afflicted people, and the tirat contribution for thc rebuild ing of the Cathedral was made by Pitzhugh Lee White, thc idx-year-old son of the Kev. Dr. White, rector of the Episcopal Christ Church. All of this was precisely as it should have been and as thc Master would have ordered it, but it was out of the ordi nary run of religious incidents. It is worth while for a Christian minister to have an 80th birthday, to bo told hy a Jewish Rabbi that, "we stand under the protection of one and the same Father in Heaven." In a certain broad sense, there was ample compensation for tho burning of the Cathedral in Savannah in the letter of sympathy received from the session of a Presbyterian Church. It is only at odd times, iu closely contested elec tions, when wo have axes to grind, or personal scores to settle, or prejudices to consult that wc appear to hate ono another. Tho two incidents we have noted show how good and pleasant a thing it is to dwell together in unity. -News and Courier. Taming Wild Animals by Electricity. Science has come to aid the lion tamor in subduing the wild beast. The red hot iron will, in future, be cast aside as unnecessary and out of date. Live wires, surcharged with electrici ty that baffles the lion's fiercest as saults, and burn and maim him badly have taken thc place of the lash and scorching iron. A lion tamer of Aus tria, Louis Koemmcnioh, has bcon the ! first to cell in the assistance of the lightning to subdue wild beasts. Kocmmenich has invented what he calls tho electrical subjugator. This is a shield of electric wires that fasten on the back of the lion tamer, aiid are connected with a dynamo by a wire of sufficient length to allow Kocmmenich to move around thc cage. In his hand he will carry a charged metal ball on an insulated handle, to be used as the red hot iroa was in former days. The dynamo is operated by an as- I sistant outside tho cage. Should a lion show a disposition to leap on Koemmecieh, ho invites at tack by deliberately turning his back to the lion and apparently encour aging an onslaught. When the beast springs his paws come in oontaot with tho electric shield, and he receives a shock of 1,500 volts from the dynamo. The onorator ean. if necessary, in crease the voltage so ns to shook the animal to death. j Thus far the device has worked like j magic. One dose of lightning is suffi cient for the average lion. Whips and oven hot irons they havo dared, but no animal has yet troubled Koem menioh after reoeiving into its body 1,500 volts from the electric subjuga tor. Whenever Koemmenioh enters the cage after an encounter with a lion that has run against the electrical subjugator ho will cower away into a oorncr of the cage, and never needs any further punishment.-Ne\r York Journal.

In the mental arithmetic class thc teacher had a great deal of trouble in making Johnny Jones understand the simplest mathematical ideas, though he seemed to be a boy of much natu ral good sense. "Sii from six leaves how many ?" asked the teacher. "Huh ?" asked Johnny, apparently astonished at the qucutiou. "If you have six cents in your pocket, and you lose them all, how many do you have left ?" Johnny put on a scornful look at this, and answered, "One, I suppose !" "Johnny Jones, how could you have one of your six cents left when you had lost them all ?" "I didn't mean that I'd one cent left r "One what, then ?" "Cae hole, I guess,:: said Johnny.
