Yesterday the much advertised ball
game between the county ami citj'
officials was pulled off at the fair
ground in the presence of about 2,000
spectators. It was a benefit to the
military band, which was out in full
uniform and discoursed sweet music
to till up the vacuums fanned in the
atmospht re by the unsuccessful
lunges ami swipes made at the ball by
the enthusiastic players.
The first contest was a one-half
boys' bicycle race, and was won by
Harry Metcalf: Ed Overby, second,
ami Guy Tingle, third: time, 1:
The second event was a one mile bi-
cycle race. It was won by Carl Met-
calf; J. M Cheatham, second; time,
2:54. A K. Nichols acted us pacema-
ker for this race.
An interesting feature was the bi-
cycle and horse race between Hiker
Sam Wisby and Trorter Joe Orr. The
hors.- won the race in 2:32.
Then came the piece de resistance —
the ball game All the heavyweights
drew out of it, but two evenly-matched
nines put up a game away above the
average, as the score of 11 to 7 in fa-
vor of the county will testify. The
game was hotly contested throughout
and brought howls of delight from
the bleeehers that would have
drowned a steam caliope. The busi-
ness houses closed to allow the clerks
to attend aud the band cleared a neat
sunt and the event was highly success-
ful all aiound.

A Feature of the Coming Exposition That
Will He Interesting and Instructive
to Visitors of AH Ages
and Callings.
The Smithsonian Institution is pre-
paring a miniature model of the Tower
of Babel for the exposition of Atlanta.
It will be in all respects, so far as pos-
sible, a faithful reproduction of the
famous original. The latter was the
greatest of the many magnificent tem-
ples of Babylon, being one hundred and
forty feet high. That does not seem
much compared with the Washington
monument, but people in those days
were not accustomed to tall structures,
and tho ancient capital of Assyria was
situuted in tho midst of a vast plain,
where there were no natural elevations
to serve for comparison. The model
1n question, says the Washington Star,
will be five feet eight inches square on
tho first story. When it is stated that
the first story of the actual Tower of
Babel was seventy-two feet square, a
notion will be given of the proportion.
The originul building was constructed
in diminishing stories, each one beiug
a smaller square than that beneath.
This was a common style of architects
ure in Assyria, and from it evolved the
Egyptian pyramid. The stories for tho
'model are square wcxxlen frames of dif-
ferent sizes, so made tluit they may bo
superposed one upon another. Theso
frames, after being put together, will
Ihj faced on the outside with a veneer
of plaster of puris, which will imitate
•the sun-dried bricks of which the tower
was composed.
The building of the model is under
the charge of Dr. Palmer. The work,
however, is superintended by I)r. Cyrus
Adler, who has made an exhaustive
study of the historic Tower of Babel.
Mechanically speaking, the most diffi-
cult part of the job is the casting of tho
plaster of paris that is to imitate tho
bricks. Every brick on the exterior of
the structure is represented and this is
accomplished by making a single mold,
in which tho little bricks are labori-
ously inmcated. From this mold many
casts are made, ami so tho whole sur-
face is covered. The Babylonians had
no stone, and so they were obliged to
employ for all their buildings such sun-
dried bricks. They did not tinder-
stand tho use of molds for the purpose.
Naturally, structures of such material
soon crumbled and did not last very
long.
The Tower of Babel stood upon an
elevated platform of earth six hundred
feet square. This was surmounted
and retained by a wall of bricks ten
feet high. Both platform and wall
will be represented in the model, which
will be quite an imposing affair when
finished. The stories will be painted
in different colors, to imitate the orig-
inal building, according to descriptions
given of it in Assyrian literature. The
llrst story was black, in honor of
Saturn; the second story of orange, for
Jupiter; the third story red, for Mars;
the fourth story covered with plates of
ffold, for the sun; the fifth story white,
lor Venus; the sixth story dark blue,
for Mercury, and the seventh story
covered with plates of silver, in honor
of the moon.
The old Babylonians were worship-
ers of the sun, and knew a lot about
astronomy. The Tower of Babel w as
an observatory from which the priests
gazed upon the stars in the heavens,
drawing portents from them, pre-
sumably for sale at so much a portent.
The model will have no windows, for it
is not known whether or not the orig-
inal edifice possessed any. Nobody, as
vet, has been able to discover how the
houffes of the Assyrians were lighted.
It may be that all the light required
for this mighty temple was admitted
from tho top, which was presumably
ppen to the sky. The stairs were on
the outside, and not on the inside of
.the building. They also will be shown.
In fact, no detail will be omitted that
may help to give a notion of the exact
appearance of this wonderful edifice of
antiquity.
DANGER IN THE USE OF SLANG.
Experience lu Ilrooklyn Shows I'erll In
tho Word "Uats."
A new illustration of the dangerous
confusion that often is created by the
prevalence of slang is furnished, says
the Brooklyn Times, by an incident re-
ported in this morning's news. A pro-
fessional rat catcher went to a fash ion-
ablo club the other evening, and at
midnight he had bagged fifty rats.
With the fifty living rats in a bag—for
this professional scorns to kill any
rats on the premises he left the fash-
ionable club and started home. Then
appeared an unknown policeman, who
said: "Where are you going?" "None
of your business," answered the rat
catcher. "So that's your swag," said
the policeman, sarcastically, tapping
tho bag with his club. "Nary swag,"
said the rat catcher. "What have you
1n the bag, then?" Here we come to
the llrst crisis of the story, for tho
reply was "Rats." The policeman
then punched the professional for
what he, perhaps reasonably, regard-
ed as his impertinence. Moreover, he
grabbed the bag and thrust in his in-
quiring, official hand. Here comes tho
second crisis of the story, for at least
seven rats grabbed Unit hand. Tho
policeman yelled, and shook off tho
rats, and, the other forty-three leaping
from the bag, the street was soon full
of rats. Tho poor policeman, with
rats to the right of hint and rats to the
left of him and rats in an indefinite
vista before and behind him, lied into
the night.
This is not the first time that slang
has indirectly created confusion in the
world. The rat catcher had no sus-
picion that the policeman would take
his explanation amiss. This is the
trouble. The slang that creates dis-
aster is generally used unwittingly.
May the present picturesque warning
be heeded.

BICYCLE GUMU.
Another Physical Peculiarity s. ld to He
Due to the Wheel.
bicycle riding and poor teeth are
about the last t wo subjects one would
place together, but that an overfond-
ness for indulgence in exercise upon
the wheel is developing a diseased con-
dition of the gums and teeth can be
testified to by many unfortunate vic-
tims and their dentists.
It is caused, says the New York
World, by the extra effort necessitated
in ascending hills or iu running races,
and the short, quick breaths of cold
air that strike the overheated gums
through the open mouth develop a con-
gestion of those parts. The face swells
is with an ordinary toothache, pus
forms around the teeth and loosens
them, and in many eases leads to their
extraction later, and the pain is equal
to having all one's teeth ulcerating ut
once.
A prominent dentist stated, w hen in-
terviewed upon the subject, that he
had had several cases of that kind. "It
•omes," he said, "from an abnormal
current of air, from fast ruling, strik-
ing the gums, and if the popularity of
' Hie bicycle continues it will develop a
I new feature in dentistry. At a private
meeting of several dentists the other
j evening we found, upon comparing
I notes, that these cases are increasing,
i 1'lie only preventive is a difficult one
t to follow, and that is, always ride with
tho mouth closed. The same oliVet,
however, is caused by an unnatural
draft of air, as, for instance, sitting in
front of an electric machine for a long
period. I have had several cases < f

Why la the Negro Illack?
If the conclusions of M. Jauffert, tho
great French scientist, are to be relied
upon there is no reason why the skin of
the African should be black and that of
the Scandinavian of milky fairness —
that is to say, there are no apparent
causes for this wide variation in color.
Jauffert says: "The skin of the African
negro is of exactly the same anatomical
structure as that of the fair-skinned, I
flaxen-haired Norseman. It may also '
be shown that in the mucous layers of
the skin of dark-complexioned whites
pigment cells similar to those found in :
the negro's skin are developed in ex-!
netly the same way they are in the I
blackest African. Moreover, freckles'
are of the same nature as the blackness
which has suffused the entire skin of
many of the tropical barbarian tribes." j
