THE CHEMISTRY OF TO-DAY.
How the Art of the Early Ages Has Devel-
oped Into q Science.

Opcu INTO u -NIchScs
/ Chemistry as an art dates back from
the VERY dawn OF civilization itself. As a
science it is barely a couple of centuries
old. To the alchemist its pursuit was in
the main but the pursuit Of wealth.
Now and again we find men among them
like Thomas Aquinas, Basil Valentine,
Libavius and Glauber, who were i'm
PEELED by a higher motive than the love
of gold to seek for the hidden meaning
of things, but the mystical tendencies of
the middle ages were as scales to their
eyes, and such devious cropping for the
light as they were able to make too fire.
quently ended in utter darkness.
Even in the therapeutic crudities Of
Paracelsus, who was sufficiently sincere
in his profession as a thaumaturgist to
affirm that magic was the eliminating
point of all human knowledge, what
there was of science was summed up in
the aphorism, which in fact passed as an
axiom among his disciples: Man is a
chemical compound. His ailments are
due to some alteration in his composition
and can only be cured by the influence
Of other chemical compounds. 1t may
be questioned indeed whether modern
therapeutics has advanced much beyond
this position.
In strict truth, it is only within the
present century that men have seriously
set themselves to search for the causes
and conditions of chemical change.
semblance of a philosophical doctrine,
but it was founded on an utterly false
basis, and ultimately fell and was crushed
by the weight Of its own absurdities.
The recognition Of the real nature of
combustion, itself a manifestation of
chemical union, paved the way toward a
clearer conception of the essential ma
ture of chemical combination, and this
conception acquired a beauty, order and
harmony until then unknown to chem
ical teaching by the application Of the
atomic hypothesis as IN explanation oe
the fundamental facts of chemical af-
inity. Indeed it has become a truism
to say that this conception, the fruit of
patient and sustained induction, is to
chemistry what the theory Of universal
gravitation is to astronomy.
For the first time in its history chem
istry was illumined and vivifed by a
single consistent theory, founded OF
quantitative relations and making use
of definite mathematical expression, and
it was at length recognized that the
science must ultimately be referred to
mathematical laws similar to those
which had been established in regard to
the mechanical properties of natter

SPECIAL NOTICES.
FOR SALE.
A Grand Opportunity for q Capitalist or
a Syndicate.
A Frontage of 1 900 Yards on the s., f. &
w. Railway, and Only 500 Yards
South of City Limits.

We have concluded to offer for sale that
splendid property adjoining the southern
limits of the city of Savannah known as the
"Baynard Place" There are 3714 acres of
land in this tract, which has been subdivided
into 367 building lots, but, as none of them
have been sold, the tract is unbroken.
Seventy-five Thousand Dollars will pur-
chase this property and the expenditure of
S5,000upon it in planting trees grading streets
etc, would make it easily bring many times
the price asked for it.
This land is in the line of improvement
southward-the direction in which the city is
growing-is not exceeding 400 yards from the
Belt Line Street Railroad, and is the best
thing of its size near the city.
No city in the South gives promise of such
future growth as Savannah. Inquiry upon
the part of any one who wants to know will
reveal the fact that influences are now at
work which must make Savannah not only
the first Naval Stores mart in the world and
second Cotton port of the United Scates,
which she now is, but one of the greatest
cities in every way in the South.
Stocks and bonds may become worthless
paper; real estate cannot, unless the earth
sinks, become worthless; and money put in
land hard by the southern limits of Savannah
must, in the near future, return a heavy profit.
She is city that never booms, but maintains
healthy growth.

Fearing of the Port Royal Case-A

Augusta, Ca, May 19-Some time ago
when the motion to take the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad out of the hands of
the Central was made before Judge Rouey
he named J. H Averiu as temporary re-
ceiver, and set to-day for the Central to
show cause why il should not be per
manent. The case is being heard and will
occupy another day or longer in argu-
ment. A number of affidavits were put in
evidence to-day, in which Augusta mer-
chants testify to the injury Of their bus
mess resulting from the Centrals policy
toward Port Royal. A. Il. Lawton

HARRY HILL HEARD FROM.
The Fugitive High Roller Sends
Letters From Chicago.

He Coolly Admits That BE Committed
the Forgeries to Keep Up the Pace
That Kills-Heavy Charges Made by
Those Who Discounted His Paper-A
Lawyer Hints That Some of the Talk
Nay Lead to Shooting.
Atlanta, Ga. May l9-TEe days de
velopment in the Harry Hill case has
been the receipt Of several letters from
the missing man by relatives and friends
here. He makes some very peculiar state
ments in some of these letters. He says
his reason for committing the forgeries
was for the purpose of obtaining money
him pleasure and to keep
up with the fast set Of Peachtree street.
In one Of these letters Hill says it was
caused by being compelled to associate
with business men of the city who set the
pace that kills. He explains all about
his business affairs in another letter to
Col Echols, his former business asso-
ciate, and tells how he left
the city, but does not say any
thing about the way he reached
Chicago. In the same letter he gives a
committed. He exonerates every one but
one party, who is understood to be a
woman in good society. About that
party's connection with the matter he
says very little.
HEAVY INTEREST CHARGES.
He also adds a list showing the amount
of interest he paid on the forged
papers He states that in one in
stance he had a note for 50. 300
discounted and paid 81 400 interest
on it. He obtained, he says, only 5000
He also shows in the statement how he
discounted one forged paper to oh tain
money to take up another forged paper.
In letter to his cousin, w. +. Hill, who
is indorser for him to the amount of So,
zoo, he says that he has thoroughly re-
pented and regrets his fast life and in
tends to make amends for it
conclusion that he will make
an effort to repay every dollar that he
may have caused his friends to lose on his
account. Mr.. Hill feels outraged at the
conduct of his relative, who he befriended
whenever he called on him, and is now
making every effort to secure his arrest
and return to the city. He has sent a
number of kilograms to the Chicago au-
thorities and is doing everything in his
power to locate him.
THERE MAY BE SHOOTING.
Mr. Echols was seen. He refused to
say anything about the contents of the
letter he received from Hill. IL am act
ing as an attorney" he said, land cannot,
of course, talk about the case, and will
not say whether l have received his letter
or not. l understand, though, that there
have been half dozen received from
him by various people. AS to his
having had a female accomplice l
think the story very fishy one. That is
likely to cause some one to be shot. My
reason for saying this is that some in
nocent person may be coupled with this
report and a shooting may follow"
The fact that Hill does not appear to
fear arrest and that he has not so far
been arrested is productive of no end of
sensational talk and criticism of the au-
thorities. 1t seems that there is not
much real anxiety to have him brought
back The end of the case is not yet by
any means.
