SCIENCE EXTRA0RDIyARY

Mr.. Darwin, in writing or the cab
sence of White Color in Animals" :"
mentions a poisonous plant growing
in Virginia which kills white haired
swine but does not kill those with
black hair DR.. O5le says in expla-
nation Of the fact that there is no
evidence that the black swine cat the
plant, and that. as a matter OF fact,
the white swine, because they are not
supplied with certain black pigment
necessary to the possession Of taste
and smell, ore efficient in both tastes,
ard are therefore unable to discrimi-
nate between poisonous and non
poisonous plants. They therefore
eat poisonous plants which the black
pigs, with better taste, refuse to eat
A correspondent of the Scientific
American writes TO say that he does
not know anything about the effects
Of poisonous plants on the pigs Of
Virginia, but in Florida upon which
black hogs fatten, While Those with
white loofs after eating it become
lame and their hoofs dlep off. He
says that. ''if a hog has three black
hoofs and one white, the white one
will fall off, and leaves us to con
clude that the black hoofs will stay
on. These hog stories have now adj
vanced far enough. to make it worth
while for some one to make very sure
of the facts before undertaking to
explain them.

of the land The names of William and
Edward Rumsey, Benjamin and Sarah
Pearce, John and William Knight, Walter
Scott and Rev. Hugh Jones, who at that
time was Rector of St. Stephens Parish,
appear upon the list of lot holders.
In 1888, Edward Rumsey, carpenter, who
had taken up lot No. 90, on the 10Th day
of September, 1870, sold it to Robert Pen
nington, inn holder, for e36, current money
of Maryland, which was reasonably good
speculation, considering that it cost him,
three years before, only 60 Is. 3d., and the
clerks fees for recording his title to the
lot, what they may have been; no refer
ence to which is made in the act which we
have consulted.
1t is very likely that desire to speculate
in town lots had much to do with this
effort to erect Cec;ltown. However that
may have been the effort was as fruitless
as the one to establish it at Town Point.
The enterprise was probably total failure
and it is not likely that single house was
erected on the site of the town. Provision
is made in an act passed in 1863 for the in.
spection of tobacco at Bohemia Ferry, and
it is not probable that the ferry would have
been named as the place at which the in
spection was to be made if the town was
at that time in existence, for if the two
places were not identical, they must have
been in close proximity. QUILP.
