Bottled UD!

Whether in the form Of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity Of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude ana helplessness prema-
turely take possession Of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair Of
crutches. Then comes falling Of
the hair and decay of the bones,-a CON
ditiOn truly horrible.

The New South Wales governments
analyst, William NJ. Hamlet, delivered
the presidential address in the section
of chemistry at the recent meeting Of
the Australian Association For the Ad-
vanoement of Science, the subject being
1.-THE Molecular Mechanism of an Elec-
trolyte.
He defined an electrolyte as a body in
solution or state Of fusion, capable Of
being instanteously decomposed by
current of electricity, and he claimed
that if the explanation he offered was
adequate for the electrolyte it must
hold good for the constitution Of the
matter in the universe, so that the
treatise on the eleCtrolyte has a most
important scientific bearing. The meth
cd Of investigating the action Of one
body upon any other, he reminded his
audience, was brought to a high degree
of accuracy by the immortal work OF
Sir Isaac Newton. He alluded to some
observations of the late Professor Cliff
| ford made over 90 years ago, this aU-
thority remarking, almost prophetiCaL
! ly, eve can look forward to the time
when the structure and motions in the
inside of a molecule will be so we'll
| known that some future Kant or LaplaCe
will be able to make an hypothesis
about the history and formation Of mat

PLANT OF FLORIDA.
tE IS THE KING OF THE PENlNsULAR
STATE.

he owns the Railroads, Steamboat Lines,
Hotels and Much Of the Lsnd--why He
Is Pleased That We Are at war with
Spain.
When the government began TO send its
troops by the thousands down into Flori-
da, so as TO have them handy when the
time came for shipping them to Cuba, the
officials found many evidences Of the exist
tnce of a man Of whose financial greatness
many Of them had never heard before
That man was Henry b. Plant.
Not only government agents, but army
officers and priyates began to learn Of Mr..
Plant. When troops were to be moved to
Key West and Tampa, 1t was found that
all the railroads were owned by Plant.
When supplies were to be sent by water,
IL was found that Plant owned the steam
ship lines. When the officers arrived at
the big camps and concluded that it was
foolish TO sleep in tents when fine big ho-
tells were SO handy, they discovered that
Plant owned the hotels also. They then
became aware that much of the land, in.
Guiding pine woods and beaches many OF
the stores and a lot of other things were
all part of Plants property.
Weeks ago IL dawned upon n lot oi
Americans that Florida instead Of being
an ordinary commonwealth was virtually
| little kingdom and that Henry B. Plant
was its king. Mr.. Plant may almost bC
said to have an honest right TO the title
| BY his money, enterprise and energy he has
made Florida what 1t Is today. When hC
| first visited the state in 1853, Jacksonvill,
was the only accessible point He wanted
to go to st. Augustine. The trip had t
be made in q duguut canoe, and in en-
deavoring to thread the wilderness of wa
terways the guido himself lost his bear
ings, and the future ruler of the stat
spent night in the open.
Since then Mr.. Plant has done much 70
Florida and incidentally for himself. II
has built railroads, established steamboa
lines and built up thriving winter resort
around his big hotels. He has introduce
to tho citizens of the northern states th
beauties of the winter climate of Florida
and they have paid him back by settlin
big hotel bills and paying humping bi
transportation fares. Now Uncle Sam
handing over to Mr.. Plant big slice c
the war appropriations, and the railroads
steamers and hotels which were meant {
furnish dividends only in winter are regr
lar summer gold mines.
Although well on in his seventy
year, Mr.. Plant is still one of the busiei
men in this country-untiring, seldol
finding or needing time for rest, full Of IL
business of today and the requirements
tomorrow, but planning and preparing a

ways for the conditions of ten years or o
quarter of a century hence. Few things
happen in his territory that he has not
foreseen and prepared for, and with it all
and with the added cares of a multimil-
lionaire of New York he is one Of the
kindliest and most approachable of men.
Mr.. Plant is a grandson of Sarah Fris-
bee, descendant of the Huguenot Rich
ard Frisbee who settled in Virginia in
1919 and whose son Edward was driven
out Of that state in 1913 on account of his
Puritanism. Edward Frisbee removed to
Branford, Conn, and for many genera
| tions the Frisbees were Branford, and
Branford was the Frisbees. In the same
| town Mr.. Plant was born in 1919, and
after finishing his education he entered at
once into the business for which nature
had expressly nodded him and to which he
has devoted his entire life. At 1S years
old he had charge of the express business
between New York and New Haven, and
| when that business ripened into the
Adams Express company, in 1854, he was
appointed superintendent of the southern
division of the company At the opening
of the civil war, in 1861, he formed and
became president of the Southern Express
company and has been its president con-
tinuously since that time. For the last 81
years he has also been president of the
Texas Express company.
These presidencies however, are mere
items in the long list of Mr.. Plants busi-
ness interests. In 1889 he organized and
was made president of the Plant Invest
ment company, In which among his asso-
ciates were Henry M. Flagler, Morris X.
Jesup, Henry Sanford, II. p. Hoadley and
| q. III. Tilley. 1t Is over one of this COM
pany's railway lines, reaching from
Charleston to Tampa that the troops for
the capture of Cuba and Porto Rico are
carried. A mere list of the 18 railway
lines, extending several thousand miles,
of the nine steamship and steamboat lines
reaching from Cape Breton to Jamaica,
and of the six large hotels, owned and
operated by the company under tho gen
eral title of the Plant system, reads like
a travellers guide.
Though on the verge of his eightleth
year, Mr.. Plant spends a large part of his
time in his private car, No i00 that
is known and welcomed all over the south
ern states. Today he is in Tampa, to-
morrow in Jamaica, little later in New
York, in Boston, in Halifax. His office
goes with him everywhere by day or
night. In the midst of the pine woods
No. 100 draws up in front Of a shanty
telegraph station, and in ten minutes he
knows the entire days business of the
whole systom-the car derailed in Ala
bama, the wharf mended in Halifax, the
steamers anchor fouled In Jamaica, as
well as the name and business Of every
visitor to his New York Office that day
Every detail of each of his great enter
prises is familiar 10 him, and he keeps
closely In touch with current affairs Of
general interest. Such is the man whom
some call the king of Florida.
